I received the Beauty Box Five today. It is a box with hair and nail care items.  As usual I am game!

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty box with 4-5 deluxe beauty samples (sometimes full size) in every box.  You’ll get makeup, nail polish and accessories, haircare, skincare, and more.

The information card gives the details on each product, the retail value, and whether or not the item is full-size.

Let’s start with the Bodipure Keratin Gloves.This revolutionary hand treatment will strengthen your nails and nourish skin and cuticles.   It’s been a while since I have had a proper manicure so the gloves were a treat. At first it was odd to wear  plastic gloves on my hands  but hey my hands are nice and soft now. It does  a have a wonderful scent to it and you leave the gloves on as long you see fit. The product received was a full size (.81 oz) product and retails for $5.00. I find this to be a decent price for a home treatment.

Also for the nails was a  full size bottle (10ml) of Nails, Inc. Nail Polish. They sent the color grosvenor crescent. It is a dark purple and perfect for the winter season.  This bottle retails for $9.99. I love the deep rich color. Now just to grow my nails out longer. To finish the at home mani, the box included Scratch Custom Accent Nail Wraps. This too is a full size product (4 strips) that retails for $6.00. As I do not have long nails to wear the wraps, I am going to try them on my son’s girlfriend for her prom coming up.

Next is the hair! I received a sample of Novex Bamboo Sprout Deep Conditioning Treatment (30g). Full product retails for $14.99 for a 30 oz .  My sample cost around $0.50. The instructions on the sample appear to be in Spanish, luckily the insert with detail of items has instructions in English. Then there is the Not Your Mother’s  Plump For Joy. This is a thickening elixir to boost the thickness of your hair. Even though I have thick hair now, I decided to give this a try. Maybe I will bring back the big hair of the 80’s!

I didn’t bring the 80’s back but  it did make my hair feel smooth. The normal retail price for this product is $ 7.00 for a 8oz size. I received a 2oz size making my sample $1.14 roughly.  Last but not least is the Salon Grafix Hair Spray.  I received the Freezing Hair Spray Mega Hold for extra hold  to keep my hairstyle going all day long (watch out 80’s). This retails for $6.99 for a 10 oz can. My box came with a 1.5oz can making my sample roughly $1.04. I have to say it does hold up fairly well. Don’t touch before dry as it is a bit sticky. It doesn’t leave your hair feeling too stiff which is always good.

All in all I quite enjoyed pampering myself for a bit as I don’t do it often enough.  I do recommend this box for those busy moms to pamper themselves for  a few minutes that you are able to steal away. This box’s total value was $23.67. What do you think about Beauty Box 5?
