May 2014 Beauty Box 5

It has been a hectic few weeks for me. I finished my first year of graduate school, I moved out of my apartment and headed back home for the summer. Now I am on the hunt for a summer internship, which has been stressful. During my move, I decided to cancel some of my monthly subscription boxes which is why I haven't had many post updates lately.

Sometime in April I learned about a promo code that Beauty Box 5 had released (one month free) so I decided to give the box a chance and I must say I was slightly disappointed. The company has a long road ahead of them if they want to compete with BirchBox and IPSY. The product quality and brand diversity is just not there, in my opinion. Also I found it shady that Beauty Box 5 was trying to charge my credit card for June's box when they still had not shipped out my May box. I don't want to rag on the company too much since I did end up getting the May box for free however I will say that I did end up canceling my subscription. I gave the company a chance but their business practices turned me off.

Anyway here is what was included in the May 2014 box. The theme for the month was "Fresh & Focused."

- Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
- H2O Plus Spa Hand and Nail Cream
- Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths
- Harvey Prince Hello perfume vial
-Cattiva Precision Eye Liner

The only notable item in the box was the eyeliner which retails for $20 other than that the rest of the items felt like samples you order off of the internet.
