Beauty Box 5 Review – June 2013 – Monthly Makeup Subscription
I recently signed up for a Beauty Box 5 subscription – and so far I’m really happy with the boxes! (Check out my May Beauty Box 5 review). The June Box definitely had a summer theme with sunscreen and bronzer!
This is the card that comes with each box. They included coupon codes for Coolway hair products and Just Being Sexy bronzers.
The Box: Beauty Box 5
The Cost: $12 a month (or $10 a month with a 3-month subscription)
The Products: 4-5 full size and sample size beauty products.
Just Being Sexy Body Bronzer Packets ( 8 ml each) Value $6 total
I tried this bronzer out – and I really love the results. It looks very natural (not orange or sparkly). The only issue I have is that I’m not a fan of the scent. I may pass the other packet along to a friend.
Coolway Cool Cleanse Shampoo – 1 oz Value $3
Coolway Cool Hydrate Conditioner – 1 oz Value $3
I love the Coolway Transform Styling Spray from the May Box (I use it everyday), so I can’t wait to try out the shampoo and conditioner. (I also love that the Coolway products are free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates and synthetic colors).
Aveeno Protect & Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen – .5 oz $1.50
Brazen Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Smarty Pants (Sample) – Value $4
I love that this sunscreen goes on like a light lotion, and not like some sticky sunscreens I’ve come across. Also, I love sampling these organic, vegan mineral eyeshadows, but I think I haven’t been able to open one of these samples without spilling half of the mineral powder everywhere. Anyone else have issues with these?
Verdict: I paid $10 for this box and received about $17.50 worth of product. It’s not as amazing of a value as the May box, but I’m still happy with the June box. (Super high-value boxes always spoil me for the next month!) What do think you of the June Beauty Box 5?

I absolutely love the results I got from using the bronzer from Just Being Sexy!
I just went on their website to order the product, but it’s telling me that my code(Beautybox5)is not valid?
Is anyone else having this problem?
I spill the Brazen eyeshadows every time! I try to tap it and open slowly, but it still catches in the grooves and on the edge and spills out. I hate that!
When I open mineral or powder shadows, I usually set them down flat and open them slowly! I know that’s kind of obvious, but whenever I get a new product, I want to pick it up and open it, but I always have to force myself to just set it down and open carefully!

I’d love to try out the shampoo and conditioner! Great box.

I didn’t get the mineral eye shadow or the aveeno sunscreen. I received a Minxxette Brush Hanger ($4.69) and a sample of Shea Terra Organics Rose Hips Black Soap Facial (1 oz, $4.50). So the value of my box was a little higher than yours at around $21. I’m happy with what I got. I have more sunscreen than I’ll use in my lifetime and I’m the same way with loose powder – except I get all of it on the floor (and myself!) Working on my review! katieleb.blogspot.com
I got the same box as you Katie. I just opened a three month subscription and was pretty happy with my first box! I always love hair samples, love that the face wash is organic and I love bronzers, so other than the lame brush holder, I was satisfied for $10 b
