Beauty Box 5 Review – July 2013 – Makeup Subscription
I started subscribing to Beauty Box 5 a few months ago, and so far I’ve been very impressed with the value in each box. (It’s especially impressive considering you can get this box for as little as $8 a month with an annual subscription). If you are looking for an inexpensive makeup subscription box – I definitely recommend Beauty Box 5!
The Box: Beauty Box 5
The Cost: $12 a month (or $10 a month with a 3-month subscription; $8 a month with annual subscription)
The Products: 4-5 full size and sample size beauty products.
Check out all of my Beauty Box 5 Reviews and the Beauty and Makeup Subscription Box Directory!
Each Beauty Box 5 comes with a card detailing each item and the retail cost of the full size version of the item.
Be a Bombshell Lip Gloss in Vixen – FULL SIZE! Value $14
It’s always a win when the first item you take out of the box is worth more than what you paid for the entire box!
H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment – 8 ml Value $5.70
Jean Piette Cosmetics Nail Polish Remover Wipes – (2) Value $1
LA Fresh Travel Lite Antibacterial Wipes – Value $2
Every Beauty Foot Smoother – Value $9
I can never have enough hand sanitizer, so these wipes will be a perfect addition to my purse. I also think I’m most excited about this foot smoother! I gave it a quick try and I’m happy with he results, plus the design makes it really easy to hold.
Verdict: I paid $10 for this box and received over $30 worth of product – not bad! This month had a good mix of products, and definitely a good value. What was your favorite item in the July Beauty Box 5?

Hi 🙂
This probably isn’t the correct place to ask, but I have a question on multi-month subs & haven’t been able to find the answer. If I were to subscribe to a service like BB5 for a year to get the best rate am I charged the full year upfront? Or am I committing to authorize them to charge my card monthly for a year? If you can answer I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks!!
I received nearly the same box as you. Instead of the H20+ facial treatment I received an Airelle Berrimatrix “Age Defying Facial Serum” sample. It’s a .25oz sample and the regular size is .85oz and retails at $158. So if I’m doing my math corrently [big “if”] this sample is worth about $46.50, which is four times the cost of the box on its own. Interested to see if I notice any results!
I got the same as you and I am not that excited this month….my lipgloss was SUPER bright pink….gave it immediately to my co-worker. I like the pedi sponge and the other three things are meh….not too exciting. My three month subscription is up next month and I may put my money elsewhere….we’ll see!
I got the super bright lipgloss as well. 🙁 I also received one in another box) 🙁 🙁
I think I’m going to buy a 6 month subscription for my birthday (which is in Sept.) My husband will be leaving to Alabama in a couple weeks for 2 months so, he won’t be here for my birthday. 🙁
I told him only subscription boxes could make up for his absence! LOL! 😉
