1. Rockstar Nails Nail Polish
$14.99 for 0.37 fl oz
BB5: full-sized
2. Rockstar Nails Nail Sprinkles
$14.99 for 0.45 oz
BB5: full-sized
I've been dying to try the "caviar" nail trend for AGES but have been to cheap to do it. YAY for finding this in my February BeautyBox5!!! The nail polish is nearly opaque in one coat, but I did two coats just to be sure. It has a spray-paint like smell, and is a little different than regular polish. I let my ring finger dry for 10 seconds and then applied the nail sprinkles. I applied a top coat over that just so they'd stay better. Unfortunately, Tons of sprinkles had come off within a day, and it was driving me crazy so I couldn't stop picking at them! The nail polish had some signs of tip wear within 2-3 days. I'm hoping my my mani will last the rest of the week still looking decent enough. Would I splurge on these products in the future? Probably not.

3. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo & Conditioner
$6.99 each for 8.45 fl oz
BB5: 4 x 0.28 oz sample pouches ($0.92 value)
These are good and affordable products, and have a pleasant smell to them. My hair looked and smelled nice but I didn't notice any "luxurious volume." It's a nice basic product, readily available and at a good price.

4. Every Beauty Makeup Remover Pads w/Argan Oil Extract
$6.99 for 50
BB5: 5 pads ($0.69 value)
These were the hands down winner of this box. Or any box, ever. The thick cottony-felt like pads are luxurious and soft. A little water turns these into magic--it easily removed my waterproof mascara and long-wearing foundation without any tugging or pulling! And it was so incredibly gentle on my skin that I couldn't believe how effective they were. The price is totally reasonable, especially since it only takes one makeup remover pad to remove a full face of makeup easily.

5. Elizabeth Mott It's So Big Volumizing Mascara
$19.99 for 0.33 fl oz
BB5: 0.14 fl oz ($8.48 value)
It's a decent mascara, with a good formula and good wand. The pigmentation is nice and dark, it stays put, and I didn't have any issues with flaking or smudging. But do I expect more out of a nearly $20 mascara? Yes. This volumizing mascara adds only slight volume.

This month's BeautyBox5 is just over $40 worth of product! I think February's BB5 is one of my favorite boxes so far :)
