Beauty Box 5 Limited Edition Summer Days Box

Okay... I gave in and splurged on this box, and crossed my fingers that I would be getting something great for my $39 (plus $15 shipping). Its the Beauty Box 5 Limited Edition Summer Days Box.

I think I did alright.

I felt the summer days box calling to me even though the summer nights box sold out faster.

I love product cards because I'm such a beauty noob I would have no idea what was in them. 

The box upon opening. Looking very promising!

Another sample of Hello, which I'm happy to get. I appear to have lost my first sample, and I like the scent. $55 for 1.7 oz, assume sample size $1. Also include BH Cosmetics sampler (see below), La Fresh Facial Cleaning Wipes ($19.99 for 48, $3.30 for 8) a nail polish from Nubar ($8) that I probably won't use because of the harsh smell and my new but strong love for Julep. 

Unless they made a few collections, I already received this one. I think it came from Ipsy. I've used it once or twice for a quick bit of colour before work. As this is an sample size, I'll assume $1.

Next a few useful products that will be replacing ones that get used up. H2O Plus hand and nail cream ($15/6oz, $2.50 sample), H2O Plus SPA sea lotus body wash (18/12.5 ox, $1.44 sample) and Design Essentials natural curl enhancing mousse ($15.99/7.5 oz, $3.83 sample). I received the mousse a month or two ago in my Beauty Box 5, and it's alright. I have to use it with a combination of products but it does try to keep my hair from going too poofy.

The Cativa precision eye liner ($20) was included. I can't seem to get a really great line with this one around the corners of my eyes, but maybe I'm already getting too wrinkly ;) But the most important and exciting product is the Eslor soothing cream (full size, $65). I had a sample packet of this cream, and it felt amazing one. There is no way I would have bought it at regular price, but I am going to use this!

The total value for my $54 is roughly $98.07 and I got a very expensive product I'm looking forward to using once the reno's are almost done. Note without this cream, the value of the box is $33.07 and for a "summer days" box, there was no SPF products. Odd. Not sure if I'll order another limited edition in the near future, but I'm very happy with this one.
