Sample Box Wars Beauty Box 5 FEB

Beauty Box 5.  Happy first Birthday BB5

Okay Beauty-Pals here is the 411 on BB5  BB5 Subscription  click link to go to website and check it out or subscribe.

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that deals in beauty related items.  You are to get 4-5 deluxe sized samples for 12.00 a month.  Of coarse many times you will get a full sized product as well instead of a sample.

I recieved my Feb. Box yesterday.  Here is what I recieved:

1.  H2O Plus Bath Aquatics Shampoo.  1.25 fl oz. They claim "Your hair will feel liked you washed it in sparkling water when you use this extra gentle, non drying shampoo.  It smells alot like the White Rain shampoo.  I have yet to use it as I am still using another shampoo sample.  This sells for $14.00 for 8 oz H20 Shampoo  

2.  Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub in Coconut and lime.  5.5 oz tub.

  Claim: "Smooth, nourished, glowing skin is just a scrub away with this essential oil packed sugar based exfoliant".  Smells heavenly of lime and coconut.  It is very intoxicating and alluring.  Yes I had to use this product.  I applied all over my body and barely left a dent in the container and I have alot of body.  A little goes ALONG way.  So I know it will last. Very beach like going on.  After you get wet and fall in the sand.  But when I rinsed it off my skin was very silky and soft and smelled good.  I really enjoyed this product and it's effects.  I have very sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions and I did not break out or itch at all.  It retails for $7.49 for an 18oz jar but you can get a 3 pack on amazon for under $20.00.  TREASURE STATUS

3.  The Brush Guard Variety pack. 

 There were 3 in the pack I got and I was so excited to get these as I was considering buying them a few weeks ago.  They are little mesh tubes that you put on your Make up brush heads to keep the shape and protect your brushes from dirt.  Works great for washing your brushes.  After you wash them put one of these on it and it will dry your brush head faster and you can stand upright using the end of the guard as a stand so you do not get water into the ferrule.  These retail for $5.50 for a 4 pack The Brush Guard

4.  Coolway Boost serum,  1oz  full size 

8oz for 39.95
Claim: "Infuse your hair with moisture and lock in that straightened style before you get out of the shower"  Here is my rant about these sample subscriptions.  Yes they send a card to tell you what you got and the supposed retail price.  However very frequently they don't tell you What it is for or how to use it.  I mean seriously Coolway Boost Serum and that description.  It could be anything.  I looked it up and you put it on after you wash your hair and before you dry or style it.  It is suppose to help retain your style longer and lock in the moisture so you don't burn your hair off.  Now in looking for this product it is included with a set that includes a Coolway hair Straighter.  You can check out the system and how to's. http://www.coolwayhair.com/  My only concern is I read in the FAQ's that the 1oz tube that seems pretty generous and should last a while, they say the whole tube should last 1-2 applications.  Now that is ALOT of product in one use to get effects of the product.  Not sure I will use this as I have many other style extending items from the FEB sample boxes and I don't heat style my hair much as I only have one good arm and can't reach around to the back.  And half  Hair of style is NOT better than Whole Head style in the 2000's.  Use code BB5 on the link above to save 20% sitewide.

5.  Extra Bonus... Folding Brush Compact.

   Baby Blue compact that opens and has a nice sized mirror on one side and a brush on the other.  Sure you can get this kinda stuff at the dollar store or what not but it was appreciated and timely.  I threw it in my purse.  Perfect for when you need a brush to tame your little monsters hair in public or before a school event.  I can not count the times that I did my sons' hair and then by the time we get to the event they have already ran their hands thru their hair and messed it all up.  Brandishing a Huge paddle brush is not only In discrete it looks like a threatening device. lol  What 13yr old boy wants their mother running after them with a huge paddle brush.  I still might do it for fun but the brush compact will come in handy at church.  Thanks BB5

6 Extra Bonus 2. 

 $50.00 gift card to itrain.com  No other purchase necessary.  I can go to the site and download $50.00 worth of workouts.  Totally cool if I could work out  normally again because of my body I am not allowed to partake in workouts.  I will be giving this away to one of my lucky readers along with other cool products.  Stay tuned for details coming up in a few weeks.

I liked most of these products.  I think I am just suffering from Hair Product Burn out.  But once I do my hair more and look everything up for their directions and what they are used for I will be more psyched.  I appreciate everything I got.  

Try it out for a few months and see if it is right for you.  I would not have known or been able to try these products if not for these services.  That is why I get them.  For products I may not be exposed to or be able to try otherwise.  Also I am a mail addict.  I like getting prezzies in the mail.  Here again is a link to go to their site and try them out.  12.00 a month free shipping  or 3 months for 30.00  Check out Beauty Box 5
