I finally received my BB5 box yesterday. On top of the delay in receiving the box (mail-outs were a bit later for the month of May - I was expecting this box at the end of May/early June), I was extremely unimpressed with the products provided this month. Here is what I received (amounts listed are the sample values based on full-size retail value and are listed in USD):
1. Jean Pierre tanning towelettes. 2 towelettes, $1.78
2. Model Co black eyeliner. Full size, $18
3. Coolway transform styling spray. 3.3oz, $12.29
4. La Fresh deodorant wipes. 2 wipes, $0.83
5. Brazen ultraglaze lip gloss in Centerfold. The container received does not look to be the full-sized version, which retails for $8.99. I am going to estimate the sample received is worth about $2 in retail value.
The total estimated retail value of the box was $41.89, mostly inflated by the Model Co eyeliner (I would never pay $18 US or Canadian for a plain ol' pencil eyeliner, whether or not it comes with a built-in sharpener). However, overall, I found the contents of the box very disappointing as there isn't a single product that I'm actually excited to try. Come on, BB5 - I don't mind receiving products from the same handful of companies (I like the Tree Hut and H2O+ products I have received so far in earlier boxes), but at least send me something I can use! Hopefully, next month's box will be better (or at least on time!).
Product reviews to follow.
