Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers five beauty or skincare samples to your doorstep for only $12 a month (and the shipping is free)! Ordering recurring boxes gives you an even greater discount.
The March Beauty Box theme is "Spring Cleaning!" Out with the old, in with the new! This month we're making moves and making room by throwing out the makeup we never use, putting a stop to bad habits, and focusing on our top beauty goal: clean, gorgeous skin.
1. Design Essentials Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse
$15.99 for 7.5oz
BB5: 1.83oz ($3.90 value)
This is supposed to be a skin-themed box... and so they put hair mousse in the box??? Anyway, my pump seems to be broken, so instead of dispensing foamy mousse, I end up with a handful of liquid half the time. Also, it's meant for curls... And my hair is wavy. I guess it kind of helped maintain the wave? It smells great though.

2. Swissco Dual-sided Facial Pad
$2.00 for one
BB5: full size
I've used body sized ones in the past and loved how soft and smooth they made my legs! The face one is a little awkward and a little too scratchy for my face--if you have sensitive skin, don't even think about it. But it's great for knees and elbows :)

3. Bellapierre Cosmetics Makeup Base
$18.99 for 0.29oz
BB5: 0.25oz ($16.37 value)
I did not expect to like this as much as I did! I couldn't believe the color worked on me. While its claims to illuminate, prime and conceal might be a little exaggerated, it does kind of do all of those things. It is an okay eyeshadow primer, but I like using this as concealer best. I used it to cover my under eye circles and also to help with some hyperpigmentation. The coverage is pretty good initially, but it does noticeably fade by the end of the day.

4. Jane's Pick All Natural Soaps
$8.00 for 5 oz
BB5: >1oz? ($1 value?)
I loooove how this smells. It's not marked which scent, but it's probably "Kind" (tangerine, orange, vanilla). The sample is small and because it's very soft and pliable glycerine soap, a chunk broke off. It's not drying, lathers easily and I love it. I want more!

5. Tree Hut Moisturizing Hand Cream
$5.29 for 3 oz
BB5: full size
Coconut and line scented products can be very hit or miss. Usually they smell fake or too strong, but this smells awesome! And it absorbs quickly. I've been using this a lot!

Overall, the March box had about $29 worth of products, and I'll use most of them.
