Hello gorgeous makeup junkies. Now in case you don't know by now, I really love my monthly subscription boxes and am always on the hunt for new ones. So I decided to give "Beauty Box 5" a try, since I am constantly seeing reviews on YouTube and Instagram. I have to say after receiving my first box, I'm not so sure I'm going to purchase another one. This has nothing to do so much with what I received, even though I wasn't super impressed, but because of something weird that I encountered with their site. I signed up over a month ago, made an account, paid for my subscription, have physically went onto my account a few times over the last month, and now all of a sudden my account is no longer there. They said they have no record of my email or my account, so I don't know what's going on with that but I'll have to contact their customer service tomorrow because I don't like that they have all my info and I can't access it. Anywho, let's get on to the good stuff- the products!!
What It Is: "Every month we'll send you a mix of makeup, beauty accessories, hair, skincare, fragrance, body, and nail products and we can't get enough of. Our secret? We share products that really work, so you'll receive luxury, drugstore, niche, eco-conscious, and even vegan brands." You receive 5 sample to full size beauty products each month.

Overall Thoughts: Overall, I think the products I received are nice, but I expected a little more. I think I've realized that I prefer boxes that are more makeup based. I'm not a fan of receiving face washes and fragrances, because most of the time my skin can't handle the face wash I get and I rarely like the perfumes I receive. I do think that a lot of people will like this box, especially if you interested in trying a wide range of beauty products and the price is relatively inexpensive. However, I don't think I will be repurchasing this box any time soon.
Let me know if any of you receive Beauty Box 5 and what your thoughts are!
yea this box never looks exciting what so ever! i just don't know what the big deal is about this box and it's always reminds me of the free PandG boxes you can get every 2 months with the same samples.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right! I was really disappointed and now looking back at a lot of the "positive"reviews I read, I've found out that they were sent the boxes for free. I was just really upset that they have all my information and are now telling me they don't recognize my email or my ever having an account- it's just odd. I'm going to stick with my IPSY and BoxyCharm subscriptions, because they're awesome. <3
