Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. It’s also one of the cheapest beauty subscription boxes – only $8.25 a month with an annual subscription. They tend to feature drugstore brands, and usually the product sizes are deluxe or sample size. (Sometimes they still send out the dreaded foil packets though).
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Avon Big Color Eye Pencil in Natural Vibe - Value $3.50
Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow in Vanilla Frosting - FULL SIZE! Value $22.50
I love the shade of this eye pencil - it is a perfect champagne color and provides a subtle highlight. Unfortunately when I looked it up to get a link, I discovered that Avon no longer makes this product. Given the mascara issue with last month's box, I'm concerned that Beauty Box 5 is sending out old/discontinued makeup. This eye pencil seems fine to me, but it is just something to keep in mind if you are considering subscribing.
I've sampled the Marsk brand thanks to other subscription boxes, and I really like their makeup, and the fact that they use all natural ingredients. I'm all stocked up on highlighting eye shadows at the moment, but this will be my backup!
Revlon Colorstay Polish in Stormy Night - FULL SIZE! Value $3.79
Absolute Love Bubble Gum Lip Balm - FULL SIZE! Value $3
I have a few Revlon Colorstay nail polishes from Total Beauty Collections, and I like the formula, so this nail polish will get used (I love the cocoa grey color).
This lip balm is semi-glossy, and gives sheer color (thank goodness because that is a bright pink).
GlamGlow Youth-Mud Tinglexfoliate Treatment - 5 ml Value $6.50
I really like GlamGlow - it is one of the best masks I've ever used and I highly recommend it. This seems to be an old sample though. The ingredients listed on the back of the sample include five different parabens, but the current formula is paraben-free. The sample has a lot number on it, so I emailed GlamGlow to see if they could let me know if there is an expiration on the sample.
This box also included a $20 off coupon code to YourMinerals.com.
Verdict: I hope I'm not being too harsh on BeautyBox 5, but I'm having some trust issues with the sourcing of their products. Those issues aside, I think this is one of their better boxes in months. The value is great (about $40) and I'm happy with the sizes of the products as well.
