My subscription boxes have all arrived this month, so I'll be doing several unboxing posts over the next few days. I was happy to see my
Beauty Box 5 this month...until I opened it. I was really disappointed with this month's box. It had a retail value of $14.29 and it costs $12 a month (if you pay by the month, less if you sign up for multi-month or yearly subscriptions).
The first item I received was a refillable travel bottle from Afterfeather (worth $4.48). It's prettier than the average travel bottle with it's feather pattern, but it just isn't exciting for me. I feel like I would rather have a makeup, skincare, or haircare item.
Next, I received a 1.8oz Dove Deep Moisture body wash (worth $1). I like Dove body wash, but again, this isn't exciting since I can get this in the travel section at Target or Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Next, I got a travel case of Dentek Floss Picks (worth $2.49)...another non-beauty product. I understand that your teeth are part of your appearance, but I would have been happier with a tooth whitening product over these. They're just very practical and not very exciting.
This Laura Ashley Body Butter in Sweet Peony (worth $3.33) was really nice. I wasn't in love with the scent, but it's a light floral that's not offensive and when I tried it on my skin, it made it feel like velvet!
The last product I am excited to try. It's Hask Macadamia Revitalizing Shine Oil (worth $2.99). I've seen this at Walgreens and have often thought about picking one up to try, so I'm definitely glad to get this!
Overall, it wasn't a horrible box, but it was just...forgettable for the most part. What do you think? Am I being too critical?
