Beauty Box 5: September 2014

The last of the September reviews!

So, I cancelled this subscription after the August box. Due to a glitch on BB5's part I still received the September box and wasn't charged for it. Good thing too, as I would not have been pleased. Read on to see why.

The theme was: Balancing Act.


Product details are included on the back (complete with correct company hashtags):


First look:


Nicka K New York
Eyelight Crayon - Moss
Full size sample! Sample size: 1.6g (Full size: $4.49)


"This creamy shadow stick glides on easily and adds a pigmented pop of color that lasts! Use it as a fun liner, gently smudge the color with your finger or brush for a smokey effect, or blend out all the way to a full-lid base!"

Well, Moss is certainly an apt color name. No. Just no. Off to be swapped.

Natural Style by FUBU
Deep Conditioner & Co-Wash
Sample size: two 0.5 fl oz packets (Full size: $9.99)


"Equipped with 8 repairing oils and Shea butter, this treatment strengthens hair to minimize frizz. Made without sulfites or parabens, it's gentr enough to be used as a co-wash for our curly-haired girls, and as a deep conditioner after shampooing for all hair types."

FUBU?! Holy 90's flashback! And they do more than clothes now?? Very strange. Also, WTF is a co-wash? Again, no. Just no!

Sally Hansen
Toe Spacers
Full size sample! Sample size: 1 pair  (Full size: $1.99)


"When it comes to no-nonsense nails, our girl Sally never disappoints! Cushion your toes and separate them with these adorably-printed toe spacers to keep your DIY pedicure looking professional and smudge-free."

Now, this is just insulting. *shakes head*

My Beauty Spot
Nail Polish - Mauve
Full size sample! Sample Size: 0.4 fl oz (Full size: $24.99 for a set of 6)


"We love these pretty polishes for their incredible bold colors! The thick formula glides on smooth, plus, it dries quickly, which means we can change our manis as frequently as we change our mood."

Being that I have a lot of very nice, high-end polish this will be headed to the swap shop.

Chrislie Formulations
3-in-1 Eye Bright
Sample size: 0.17 oz (Full size: $40)


"Wake up bright-eyed, no matter how late you stayed up watching one more episode of your favorite show. When used overnight, this serum makes the delicate area around your eyes smoother, brighter, and firmer, reducing dark circles and rejuvenating skin!"

This might be the one product from the box that I actually try.

Summary: if I hadn't already cancelled this subscription, this box would have pushed me to do so. So bad!

Anyone else tried Beauty Box Five??
