I am pleased to tell you this month’s box is better. It isn’t filled with drugstore brands. This month we have Marsk, Revlon, Absolute New York, Avon and Glam Glow.

Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow

This eyeshadow came in Vanilla Frosting aka white. It is iridescent with a little sparkle and works well as an accent on your eyes or even as a soft highlighter. I wore this as an accent color on my eyelids and it lasted several hours and kept me looking good. A 0.04oz container sells for $22.50.

Revlon Colorstay Nail Enamel

I painted my toenails with this durable polish. My only question is the color. Why, at this time of the year, would you send out a nail color named “fall”? I have the color on my toes and it is blah. It is too close to my skin color so it doesn’t pop at all. A 0.4oz bottle sells for $3.99

Absolute New York Absolute Love Lip Balm

I like the bubblegum scent and sweet flavor of this lip balm. The balm lasts for hours and does a good job keeping my lips moist. Personally, I am not a fan of lip balm in a pot. I hate putting my dirty fingers in there over and over again and spreading it on my lips, it just seems very unhygienic to me.

Avon Big Color Eye Pencil

I love Avon products. In my opinion, you can’t beat their quality or their price. This eye pencil is perfect for thick eyeliner and eye shadow in one. It lasted about 4 hours without using a primer under it. If you use a primer you should get a longer wear time. A 0.056oz pencil costs $3.49.

GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment

This was the product I was most anxious to try. I love a good mask 🙂 I was not disappointed with this one. This anti-aging mask tingles while it works. It has an odd tingly and cooling sensation throughout the 10 minutes it is applied to your face. After using the mask my face felt A-Maz-Ing! I wish I could use this regularly but at $69 for a 1.7oz container it just doesn’t fit in my budget.

This month’s box was a great value. I received over $35.00 of beauty products and a monthly box costs $12 or less a month! Subscribe to Beauty Box 5 today to receive your own box each month.
