Beauty Box 5 has arrived for December & I’m excited to share my thoughts! This was a really nice box & I’m quite pleased with it! As with my past few boxes (you can see a ton of unboxings by searching for Beauty Box 5 in my search bar!) this box had a great mix! Keep reading to see what was inside & my unboxing video as well!
Isn’t the card for this month cute? I love the photo! Like a lot!
The items in my box for December 2013:
Body Drench Daily Moisturizing Lotion in Sugar Cane– This lotion smells like pure sugar cane- if you’re into sugar scents you’ll love it! This is a nicely silky lotion, perfect for arms & legs. This isn’t as thick as I need this time of year but I think it’ll be nice during the spring!
Ofra Cosmetics Sultry Lipgloss Plumper- This lipgloss has a slight plumping tingle & is scented/flavored with a bit of mint. I really like the shade & it is very appropriate for fall/winter. It is more pigmented than a lot of glosses I get in sample boxes which I really appreciate!
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer- I am definitely excited to try this moisturizer but I’m saving it until my skin is less excruciatingly dry. This is water-based, supposed to be for all skin types, & it contains both cucumber & mango extracts. Exciting stuff right there!
Every Beauty Flexible Foot Smoother– I’ve had one of these before & really enjoyed it so I was happy to get another full size! Basically this is a medium sponge that has coarse exterior to scrub feet. I really like to use it before a pedicure! This alone retails for $4.99.
NYX Cosmetics Love in Rio Eyeshadow Palette in Bossa Nova– The most exciting part of this trio is this is one I would’ve likely picked out myself! All three contain shimmer or glitter ut they’re nice & neutral. I’ll be really excited to use this one, so far I’ve only had time to swatch with all the holiday bustle! This trio alone retails for $6.00
You can subscribe to Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12 a month, $30 for 3 months ($10 a month), or even $99 a year (only $8.25 a month!) which is a pretty darn good set of options if you ask me! You receive 5 samples monthly & it has helped to introduce me to lots of new brands to play with!
Another great variety- eyeshadow, body lotion, lipgloss, facial moisturizer, & a foot product! Nice & varied but also two makeup product- my favorite to get in subscription boxes! I’m really happy with this box, what do you think? Do you subscribe to Beauty Box 5?

on the ends. Then the two blended out a bit. Super easy to leave it here but in case you’re constantly looking to change things up…
from Out the Door. This honestly couldn’t get much more lovely for a look that is a bit softened & winter-y. Love. Which way do you prefer it- textured or holo-fied?
– I’m a big time Philosophy 3 in 1 fan & have purchased an embarrassing amount. There’s just something about so many of their scents that either remind me of my childhood or make me smell like a baked good. Yum. This scent is so homey, warm, & comforting. I’m impressed that it taps into some childhood memories. Please note I only use this as soap, not shampoo 
– For some reason the mix of milk & honey sounded very unappetizing to me but this product is seriously awesome. This scent is so calming & soothing- perfect when I’m sick or having an allergy attack. This is kind of a medium balm- not too thin or thick. I wear something much heavier at night but this is perfect to throw in your bag for the gym, your car, or your purse. It goes on really smooth & the scent is definitely a honey favorite.
