I really like the looks of that face brush 🙂 just subbed, and bought an extra box for an additional $10. Keeping my fingers crossed, that I like this one. Really considering canceling Ipsy. I’m up to about 8 boxes a month (heart beating fast, small amount of guilt creeping in…)

It is the softest brush I have ever received . The weight of the handle is awesome..and the brush bristles are to die for!

It’s so soft. Is it good for exfoliating? I’m going to try it out with a sample of face scrub that is intended to be used with a brush, but it just seems TOO soft for that, but it feels nice, I am thinking of canceling BB5. 🙁 This brush is neat, but the only thing I liked in the box is the face oil, and it has some things in it that are not great for the skin even though they are natural. I think I love ipsy so much because I get lots of make up and sometimes polish and when I get tools, they are brushes I can actually use. I tried the sweep brush from BB5, but I don’t like it. I have a highlighter brush (from ipsy-Luxie) and it sweeps on just the lightest amount and is feather-like. I find many of the things in BB5 a bit odd, but maybe I am not hip enough. Do you love these odd brushes?

I subbed for more than a year to BB5, and I let it lapse only because of product overload. Ipsy is still a favorite of mine, but I loved getting tools in this box. Also, for all the complaints about drugstore items in boxes, if you find a product you really like, you can easily find another when it’s gone, and it won’t break the bank.

This month is the last of my sub and I will for sure be resubscribing. Like others have said, I use most of the items and they aren’t crap. Mostly full sizes too. They have been sending tools lately as well and not the average eye shadow brush either. 🙂
I sub ALOT and I mean alot of boxes but this one is a winner every month it seems. And the one or two items I have put up for swap have swapped well and quickly.

I cannot explain why but this box makes me happier than most others. It’s weird. Maybe because the box is so small and the products are so random, it truly is a surprise what I get usually. And if the stuff is too young I give it to the girl next door and she’s thrilled.

I’m hoping for a nice facial cleanser to go along with that brush. With all of the boxes I receive. ..you would think that I’d be stocked up on cleansers.

Haha…I was just digging through my stash and grumbling about “how am I lacking cleansers?”

Isn’t it odd? Lol…7 subs a month ( was way more) and you would think I would have a stock pile of cleansers. I received my box..no cleanser, but I absolutely loved every single item!

I was JUST thinking this while at the gym this morning, on the last dregs of a sample of one from Birchbox. With all the other things we get, how am I missing cleanser? 🙂

I signed back up 4 months ago, after taking a 6 month break. Every box in the past 4 months have been great. I think I need to sign up for another yearly sub so I can save some money.
BB5 has definitely stepped up their game.

They seem to really be upping their game. I signed up for another 3 months. Not bad for a $10.00 box.

Should I sign up??
Is this worth it? That brush looks like my cashmere clarisonic head.

I think you will know by looking at pics of what people get in the boxes. My favorite is ipsy, but I like to get make up, polish, and everyday tools I can use. I keep it simple and already have my skin care routine, but I do try all the samples when possible. I have BB5, Birchbox, and Ipsy, and ipsy is my favorite. I do believe the reviews I leave have helped me get better ipsy bags. The other 2 subs often have things I just don’t want. Beauty Box 5 does have some unusual things (like this brush, make up I’ve never heard of, or this V05 hair oil that has been forgotten). If you sign up for a year, it is a much better deal, like 8 something a box!

This brush feels like heaven! I don’t even want to soil it, just rub it on my bare skin all day.
Yes, you should sign up, lol.
They always send out items that I will use…I don’t know how they do it. But…look at past reviews first..then decide.

I think BB five is a great subscription box. I never get upset at what I am sent they are very interactive on social media with all of their customers and their customer service is great

I have been really satisfied with this subscription. I use everything I get and it’s actually good prosucts and they are not just sample sizes well most of them are not sometimes it’s just 1 sample size and full size everything else. Try it out the free gift was a nice touch.
