Value
Product | Sample Size | Full Size | Price | Worth |
Coolway Cleanse & Hydrate Shampoo | 1 oz. | 8.6 oz. | $29.98 | $1.74 |
Coolway Cleanse & Hydrate Conditioner | 1 oz. | 8.6 oz. | $29.98 | $1.74 |
Shea Terra Rose Hips Cleanser | 1 oz. | 4 oz. | $18.00 | $4.50 |
Nicka K Lipstick in Begonia | 0.12 oz. | 0.12 oz. | $1.49 | $1.49 |
LA Fresh Antiperspirant Wipes | 3 wipes | 3 wipes | $2.49 | $2.49 |
TOTAL | $11.96 |
The Coolway Cleanse & Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner are sold by Coolway as a combo pack for $29.98. To get the value of those two I divided the $29.98 price point in half and used the $14.99 as the value price point. That being said those could actually be worth a bit more than what I have here.
My May Beauty Box 5 cost me $12 and I received roughly $11.96 worth of product. Due to two of the products being sold as a combo this worth could be plus or minus a few. Hopefully, it’s the former and not the latter. My favorite item from the box is the Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap Cleanser, I love Shea Terra’s whipped body creams so I’m highly interested in trying this cleanser out. My least favorite item from the box is the LA Fresh Antiperspirant Wipes as I don’t really have a use for them, I do like the fact that they included three of them though. For full details on what I received in my box make sure to check out my YouTube Unboxing Video.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I would think that they would try to give you some samples that were valued OVER what you paid per month rather than falling just shy of it. It doesn’t seem worth it to me.
Cassie says
I agree! I’m hoping that this was just a one time experience. I’m subscribing for one more month, however, if this happens again I’ll be cancelling.
Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says
That’s kind of a bummer it’s not worth more. It’s nice to try out new samples, and get shipping I guess, but I want to feel like I’m getting a deal!
Cassie says
Agreed! I’m hoping that this was just a one time thing because the shampoo and conditioner are sold full-size as a combo.
Jamie @ Makeuplifelove says
What a great box. I seriously need this. Everything I keep seeing by this job looks amazing!!! Great post and unboxing!
Shell says
I really like how you break down the worth of what you got. It helps me to decide which boxes are worth it.
Cassie says
Thanks! I started doing that a month or so back for my Birchbox unboxings. I didn’t know if it would be something that people would like or not but it seems to be going over very well 🙂
Jaime says
I’d be interested to try the A Fresh Antiperspirant Wipes. I’m always looking for something to help after my lunchtime workouts.
Cassie says
LA Fresh has had great wipes in my experience. If these are anything like their other wipes, they are well worth the little bit of money that they cost.
Miranda says
Thanks for sharing! Definitely let us know how the cleanser works out!
Autumn says
The wipes would be a little strange, but I’m sure they could be useful! For example, if you forget to slick on deodorant when you’re running late, just grab a wipe from your bag and you’re set! Sometimes you get great value from these kits, so I’m sure it all balances out.
Cassie says
That is a great idea! I might throw them in my first aid kit that I keep in the car.
Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama says
Fresh and focused. I like the theme. I wish you got to have large samples of the items you ended up liking!
Kecia says
I think I’d be happy to have the wipes on hand. Never know when you may break a sweat and need to conceal it!!
Clancy Cash Harrison MS, RD, LDN says
I do not wear makeup buy my sister loves it. I am going to share this with her.
aimee fauci says
I really like how they package the products they send. I don’t order these type of boxes BUT my suggestion to them would be to put more conditioner in the tube..With my hair.. that would not be enough conditioner.
Felicia says
That’s a great box of goodies! They look wonderful.
Kiwi says
I’ve heard of this beauty box and I really want to try it. Thanks for unboxing and I wanna learn more about the rose hip black soap!
ajackeduppeach says
i love beauty boxes! I’ve never heard of this one so i am going to sign up to see if i like the products they send.
Cosmetics Aficionado says
That lipstick is pretty!
NORAH LOVES MAKEUP says
Some interesting choices here, I like Beauty Box 5!
Debbie Denny says
Those are some great products. Love sample boxes/.
Victoria Sneden says
I’m subscribed to Ipsy and love it, but I’ve been toying around with the idea of subscribing to BB5… Not crazy about the fact that you got less then the value that you paid for it. Is that a regular thing from your experience?
Cassie says
I actually just resubscribed to Ipsy, eager to get my first bag (well for this round lol). As for that being a regular thing, this was actually my first box and I’m hoping that this isn’t a regular thing. I’m staying subscribed for June and if it happens again I will be cancelling. So make sure to check back later in June for the June unboxing 🙂
Debbie L. says
Nice beauty box – I love to try new products. The monthly subscription makes trying new products so easy.
Chloe Logan says
I just got LA Fresh makeup-removing wipes, but the antiperspirant wipes look great for travel!

Cassie says
I love the LA Fresh makeup remover wipes. They are some of my favorite ones!
Chelsea says
I like the looks of that lipstick! I like that they introduce you to brands I’ve never heard of!
Terry says
The rosehips black soap sounds very interesting. I need to check it out. When I was a kid, we used to have a black soap that was made of pine tar.
Jeanine @ sixtimemommy.com says
I love these boxes! I haven’t signed up yet as I’m iffy about spending money on things for myself especially not knowing what’s coming! But I love this
Laura MyNewestaddiction says
our boxes were almost completely different! so strange!
Cassie says
I saw that there was like a completely different version running around! I wanted that one lol.
carly says
I got TOTALLY different stuff in mine!
Cassie says
It seems they have like two or three variations that they send out. I got the lesser variation this month it seems :/
krystalskitsch says
I’m not going to lie, this is my least favorite subscription box service. IT’s even more so now that I see your price breakdown. Yikes!
Ann Bacciaglia says
I love the idea of deodorant wipes. I’ve never seen those before!
Ashley Nicholas says
hmm..now i’m curious about this subscription!
Kathleen @ Fearlessly Creative Mammas says
Interesting. I haven’t heard of this before. I will check out your video reveal.
Piera says
Beauty Box 5 sounds great! The savings is amazing!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
I hadn’t heard of that box before. What exactly is black soap?
Cassie says
Black soap is really great for treating like acne, discoloration, and even wrinkles. This site does a great job of explaining what exactly black soap is 🙂
Jenn @ The Rebel Chick says
Antiperspirant wipes are the thing right now, and they can be hard to find!
April says
I will definitely be checking this out!! What a great price!!
kay adeola says
I love beauty boxes it seems you have a lot more choice over there.No a bad price for what you worked out but i hope it was worth a little more :-).
Ellen Christian says
The cleanser definitely sounds like something I would like. I have tried the Coolway products before and really liked them as well.
Christie says
I never heard of this subscription box service. Not sure you got your money’s worth 🙁
Cassie says
Yeah I’m hoping the value is better next month.
mary says
I have not heard of this beauty box before. Thank you for the information, checking it out now (so is my tween!)
kristyn says
I have to emit, I wasn’t crazy about this months box :/ I am interested in the rose hips black soap though.
Cassie says
I wasn’t to crazy about it either and this was my first box. I’m going to give it one more chance but if they don’t step it up a bit I’m going to have to cancel.
Janel (A Mom's Take) says
I love beauty boxes. I might need to give this one a try. Looks like it’s full of some great products.
Melissa says
Very cool picks this month! I sure need that LA Fresh Antiperspirant Wipes – it’s hot!
Virginia @thatbaldchick says
Looks like a great beauty box. My best friend would love the antiperspirant wipes.
Amanda says
The beauty box looks pretty awesome! I love trying new products!
Ashley M says
What a great way to try new products each month! I like the towelettes.
Liz Mays says
I am SO excited about the anti-perspirant wipes. I’m just going to keep some in every purse I have. I’m always petrified that I forgot to put some on so this is GREAT to have on hand.
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
I think subscription boxes are so fun! You end up loving things you’d never try otherwise!
Sheila (Painted Ladies) says
I’m not quite a fan of the BB5 – nothing beats Ipsy for me!
Cassie says
I actually just resubbed to Ipsy. I’m hoping that the shipping has gotten better.
Dina says
I’d love to try those wipes. Let me know what you think of them.
veronica says
Those looks like some awesome goodies. I really don’t get into makeup too much
tee mccluskey says
I love beauty box 5 so many amazing products! The company hits it just right!
Debi@ The Spring Mount 6 Pack says
I absolutely love the black soap. I got it once because i liked how it smelled and it was just amazing
Jamie Rippy (@MamaMommyMom) says
Overall, how to you feel about BeautyBox5? I’ve heard mixed reviews… I think I would’ve enjoyed three of the five in your box.
Cassie says
Right now I’m on the fence about it as this was my first box. I’ll be getting my June box in the next couple of weeks and will either stay subscribed or will be cancelling.
Kristine Foley says
Kind of a bummer when you add it up and it’s less than what you’d pay 🙁
Carly from The Puzzled Palate says
Looks like you landed yourself a box full of sunshine! Looks like some great products- thank you for sharing!
Cam | Bibs and Baubles says
I got that same shampoo and conditioner from Beauty Box 5. I really like it.
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
These look like some really great products! I will have to check them out.
Krissy says
I really think I need to sign up for beauty boxes – I love trying new products but sometimes I’m too cheap to buy a full size one because I’m worried I won’t like it.
Cassie says
That’s why I love subscription boxes. I’ve found some great products that I never would have tried otherwise by subscribing to these boxes.
Hezzi-D says
I want to try that ROse Hips Black Soap Cleanser! That was the most interesting item in the box and I’m glad it’s your favorite too! It’s on my list!
Tonia says
I am in love with this beauty box. I have to subscribe today!
Tammy Northrup says
The Rose Hips Black Soap Cleanser caught my attention right away. Definitely checking that out.
Christina S says
This is one I haven’t heard of. Those anti-perspirant wipes look awesome!
Janeane DAvis says
There seems to be quite a few really nice items in your latest box.
