Beauty Box Five: June 2014

My second month of Beauty Box 5! June's theme is Summer Chic.

As is typical with subscription boxes, an info card was included:

With product details on the back (complete with correct company hashtags):

I saw a spoiler pic of one item, but the color was still a surprise. As were the other items. 

Nicka K New York

Nail Color - Red

Full size sample! Sample size: 0.5 fl oz (Full size: $4.99)

"What a sweet sheen! This lovely polish goes on smooth and offers even, long-wear coverage that doesn't chip! Plus, the short brush makes application easy and yields a clean, formaldehyde-free finish."

I already have this particular polish. I swapped for it months ago. Now I will be swapping it away. I have one other Nicka K polish, but haven't actually tired any of them yet. This was the spoiler pic item, and I was hoping for the lavender color. I'm going to try and swap for it.

Glam Natural

Mascara

Sample size: unknown (Full size: $28 for 0.25 oz)

"It's hard being a girl who loved makeup and has sensative eyes, but this mascara is the answer to our prayers! Gluten-free, paraben-free, and hypoallergenic, this vegan formula lifts lashes and won't iterate your pretty peepers - layer away!"

I don't have sensitivity issues, but mascara is always welcome. Although I have received quite a few this month.  

Eslor

Herbal Soothing Gel & Soothing Cream

Sample size: 0.17 fl oz/5 mL each  (Full size: $42 for 1 fl oz; $65 for 1.7 fl oz)

"Protect that pretty face! This calming gel moisturizes and comforts irritated, dry skin with aloe Vera and botanical extracts while the supple soothing cream is the perfect anti-aging moisturizer for day and night! No parabens here!"

I always like to receive moisturizers, and this set seems like a good one. Can't wait to try it out.

Sedona Lace

Synthetic Blender Brush - EB13

Full size sample! (Full size: $8.95)

"Perfect for blending creamy eyeshadows or applying concealers, this multi-purpose brush has soft, dense synthetic bristles that won't irritate your skin and a petite head that's perfect for evenly contouring hard to reach areas, like the sides of your nose!"

I was happy to receive a brush, but from the description this didn't sound like one I would use much. I don't typically wear creamy eyeshadows or concealers. Plus, I don't contour. May be swapping this one.

Design Essentials

Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse

Sample size: 1.83 fl oz (Full size: $15.99 for 7.5 oz)

"Save time on styling and sleep in! Great for loose waves or tight ringlets, this quick-drying, olive oil infused curl enhancer delivers moisture, hold, definition, and sheen without the crunch . Plus, it smells seriously amazing."

This sounds like a nice styling product, and I am looking forward to trying it out some morning when I am short on time. So, basically any morning. :-)

Summary: I once again enjoyed this box, and will be keeping it for the foreseeable future. The only disappointment was the polish, and it isn't BB5's fault I already have it.
