I’ve recently partnered with Beauty Box 5 to do reviews on their monthly subscription box! I received the October one pretty late last month, so I decided to skip doing a video and will do one for this month’s box (which I’ve already received). If you’re unfamiliar, Beauty Box 5 is a $12 a month subscription box where you will receive 5 beauty samples straight to your door! I’m pretty impressed with it from the first box because the samples are a great size- no foil packet samples here! Let’s see what I think of the products in the October box:
First, there are red glitter toe separators from Swissco. I’m not a huge fan of toe separators, so this wasn’t an impressive product to me, personally. But it’s a cute gift to give someone else!
Next up, we have La Fresh Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes. I always like getting wipes in boxes because they are a must have! I tried these out and don’t think they are the best for removing makeup, but they are very soothing.
From Aveeno, we got their Daily Moisturizing Lotion. This little bottle (similar to what you’d find for $1 at a drugstore) is perfect for travel or keeping in your purse. I find that it is on par with some of my favorite lotions but has a very subtle almond scent. I prefer highly fragrant lotions, but I still liked how my skin felt after using this on my legs.
Next up from Nubar, we have Blondie nail polish from their Alter Ego collection. It’s a bunch of iridescent glitter in an orangey brown base. I’ve yet to try it but I’ll do a separate post on it once I get the chance to try it! This mini bottle is perfect, because who ever runs out of full nail polish bottles?
Last but certainly not least, we received Model Co.’s Illusion Lip Enhancer Kit. This is a nude pencil intended for drawing outside the line of your lips to create whatever shape you want, but I’m simply using it as a lip liner. This full size item retails for $20, so that pays for your box and more. The nude color is very wearable, even for someone who hates nude lips like I do.
On the lips, it is a pretty dry and waxy feeling lip pencil, which in my opinion is a great thing because it will last a long time. I didn’t think I’d like this at first, but I am surprisingly impressed. I also love the built in sharpener in the cap!
That does it for the October Beauty Box 5, but in a few days I’ll be posting the November one- I just really wanted to post this one, even though it’s late! I am pretty impressed with this service so far- I think it has a great mix of beauty products!
What’s your fave subscription service?

These are pretty good products! I completely agree about never running out of nail polish…that’s actually what I said when I received a nail polish in my Birchbox lol and typically I hate anything nude related for the lips, but that lip pencil looks awesome! I am definitely going to look into that!
It is pretty good. I’m posting the November box in the next week or so and that one was really good in my opinion, so look forward to that! I actually hate nude lips on me and that’s the first nude I’ve actually felt comfortable with- so I bet you’d like it too!
