Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers.”Hello beauty mavens! This month’s Beauty Box 5 box was a pretty good one for me. Four out of five products were great and one was…well keep reading and I’ll let you know about that one. Yes, one of the products is a drug store product which, I know upsets some people and we only got 2 full-sized products this month so, you be the judge.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

This now ranks as my #3 mascara, which is pretty good since I have reviewed LOTS of mascara. It has a nice creamy consistency and a dark pigment. It goes on easy and isn’t clumpy. I wore it all day Sunday to church and our Father’s Day gathering and it didn’t irritate my eyes and for me, that is a big deal! It retails for $22.00 for 0.4oz so you decide if the price is worth it.

Herbal Essences Body Wash

I like Herbal Essences products and while I usually prefer a creamy body wash, this one was good. I like the scent and the lather. It didn’t dry my skin out, like a lot of gel body washes do. It sells for $2.49 for 11.1oz so it is a great deal too.

LOL Rotational Eye Shadow

LOVED this product! I am so pleased with the neutral/smokey palette. I also wore this all day Sunday and much to my surprise, my eyes looked great 12 hours after applying! I need to check out more of this brand, especially since this full size eye shadow cells for $3.00.

Nails Inc Nail Polish

While the “bruton lane” color is a bit pale for my liking, this nail polish is nice. It goes on thick and it hasn’t chipped in 24hr which, for me is a bonus. It sells for $9.50 for 0.33oz so it is a pricier polish but much better than another name brand polish I spent $8.50 a few weeks ago!

Simple Skincare Micellar Cleansing Water

This is the Huh?? product I was talking about. Here is the description “Refresh your complexion anywhere in the world-no sink needed!This new on-the-go hydrator leaves your face feeling spa-fresh instantly, no rinse requires.” Ok, I use a few brands of “pre-mooistened facial wipes” but the sample they sent was a 1″ x 2″ rectangle, not big enough to hydrate anything! From the picture we were sent it looks like t isn’t a wipe but a bottle of “Micellar Cleansing Water” whatever that is. The sample was too small to test and if you need bottled water to refresh your face, go ahead and spend $7.99 on a 7oz bottle of this stuff. I am not going to be doing that.

As I said earlier, it wasn’t a bad box. You can Subscribe to Beauty Box 5 and get your own box of goodies in the mail every month!
