Here comes the January Beauty Box 5! The theme for this month’s box is Hello! focusing on embracing the New Year’s challenges and opportunities, with a selection of products for perfectly accented eyes and well-manicured hands. Let’s check out the goodies inside…
Ultraflesh The Gold Standard Mascara in Blackout (sample size) – This mascara is designed to give you dramatic, thicker lashes with an expert wand that gets every lash coated. I have tried this mascara before and it’s pretty good. The formula is kinda thick but does a good job of giving my lashes a great boost. The gold tube looks pretty too!
Coastal Scents Eye Shadow Sampler Palette – The mini palette I got includes 4 shades : Nude, Amber Bronze, Platinum Blue, and Opal Black. Pigmentation wise, these eyeshadows have decent color payoff and I like the colors too but the formula is a bit chalky and prone to fallout.
Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips (full size, $9.99) – I haven’t used nail strips for a long while so maybe it’s time to give them a try again! The pack includes 16 nail polish strips and I like the design (Strip-Tease) I got.
Garnier Fructis Daily Care Fortifying Shampoo (sample size) – I use only sulfate-free haircare and so does my hubby, so this shampoo is totally not my thing.
Softsoap Nutri Serums Vitamin E Body Wash (sample size) – This is a nice body wash and the little bottle looks so cute! The formula is not hydrating enough for my dry skin, especially in these cold winter months but I will use it up later.
Overall, the January Beauty Box 5 was nice but nothing too exciting. I had expected much better from the first box of the new year and although this one included a few useful items, it left much to be desired.
