Beauty Box 5 May 2015

I received one or more of the products or services mentioned for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.I have to be honest, I was less than impressed when my May Beauty Box 5 shipment arrived. It included 2 tools, hand soap, lotion and 1 make-up. When I shared the box on Instagram I said I was most excited about the Coastal Scents Eyeshadow brush, and I was right! I have been needing a new, higher quality eyeshadow brush and now I have found one. This brush works great and allows me to put on a good amount of eye shadow in one swish of the brush. I need to check out what other brushes are available from Coastal Scents.

 

The other tool in this box was a Bio Swiss Stainless Steel Mini Tweezer. I am not a tweezer girl, I only use them for removing the very occasional splinter. The Essenza Luxury Hand Soap is nice but, I make my own so this went in the travel bag. The Styli-Style Blush/Highlighter Stick was much nicer than I thought it would be. the color complimented my skin tone well and I will be using this regularly. Lastly I received the  Dermalogica Active Moist lotion. It is a nice lotion but I could never justify the $60.00 for 3.4oz cost!

Since I fell in love with 2 products with a retail value of about $6 plus I received 3 other decent products, overall I’d call this Beauty Box 5 a win. Not the best box ever but It more than broke even on the $12/month subscription.
