Beauty Box 5 October 2016

I was so happy to see this little teal box in my mailbox today!

 

This month's theme is boss babe coming through.
Wonder what is in the box?

This month's product card.

 

 

Emery + Ivory: custom nail appliques    Value $12.99

 

These are nice colors.  I'm more of a nail polish person, but I may give these a go.

Amlactin: ULTRA Hydrating Body Cream    Value $2.99

 

A girl can never go wrong with unscented lotion. 

This promises to be a deeply hydrating and mildly exfoliating lotion.

 

 

 

 Chella: Ivory Lace Highlighting Pencil    Value $18

 

I got one of theses in an Ipsy bag a year or so ago. 

I use it in the inner corners of my eyes for a pop but there are tons of ways to use it.

 

From the website: Hello Ivory: This fresh and pretty neutral Highlighter pencil will brighten and visibly lift your eyes when lightly applied on the brow bone and dark circles. It can conceal blemishes and spots on light skin tones.  In addition, this multi-purpose pencil can be used to “open” the eye area by applying to the water line and inner corners of the eye. Perfect for highlighting a beautiful smile and preventing lipstick spread by applying to the Cupid 's bow and along the lip line. So many uses in just one perfect pencil! Formulated for LIGHT toned skin. Beautiful!

Color Me: Femme Gold perfume sample    Value $10 (for full size)

 

Kind of disappointed to see a perfume sample in the box.  Sephora

Play uses these as an extra, so that I how I am conditioned to see them.

On the bright side, the perfume smells great.  It is promised to be long lasting; they have a 6 hour scent guarantee printed on the packaging.

Real Her: moisturizing lipstick    Value $18

 

I received the color I Am Powerful which is a dark wine color.

This shade is a little dark for my taste, but it is comfortable on my lips and so far seems to wear well.

Total value: $51.98 + a perfume sample.

 

Final Verdict: Four full size items were in the box this month as well as the perfume sample.

This month's box is a great value for the $12 I spent on it.

Beauty Box 5 September 2016

I stumbled upon BB5 eleven months ago and I think it proves the best things can come in small boxes! I don't know why I don't hear more about this box as it includes some pretty impressive items.

So, let's take a look at this month's box!

The product card with this month's theme: favorite products.

 

Be A Bombshell: Smooth Criminal Finishing Powder  Value $7

This is a full size product. 

I have never used any of their products and this appears to be good quality.

 

Go Smile: Teeth whitening gel   Value $29 (for full size)

From the product card, you are to add equal parts Go Smile with your favorite toothpaste and brush as normal.

 

 

 

 Simple Skincare: simple cleansing facial wipes  Value $5.99 (for full size)

Pur-lisse: Blue Lotus Essential Daily Moisturizer  Value $55 (for full size)

The wipes are a deluxe sample with 7 wipes included. 

So far I am pleased with the scent and the performance.

 

Pur-lisse seems to be a brand I get often in my subscription boxes.

I am on the hunt of a good moisturizer, so this intrigues me.

 

 

 

Happy Brands: happy hair turban   Value $18

Doing a happy dance! 

 

I loved the Happy makeup removing cloth BB5 sent in a box several months ago. 

This hair turban is made of the same material that has worn well in my cloth.  It is sewn with a large hood and the back end is a smaller fold .there is an elastic loop on the hood to hold the bottom of the turban in place.

 

Update

I love this as much as I thought I would.  It dries my hair much faster than a  normal towel. This has become my daily use hair drying towel.

 

 

Final verdict:

BB5 has done it again!
