It contained a black sparkle nail polish and a hot pink lip gloss. Two colors most 50 yr old women don’t wear. It also contained sunscreen, make-up wipes and a keratin hair treatment. Compared to most months, I wasn’t excited to try these particular products. Let me break them down for you.

Purlisse Pur Protect SPF 30 Sunscreen-I have not tested this yet, it has been a very rainy few weeks here in Florida. When I do wear it I truly hope it does something magical to my skin because the $55.00 price tag for 1.5oz of sunscreen is way out of my budget, and I use sunscreen all the time!

Novex Brazilian Ketatin-I tried this. I have never used a keratin treatment before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Both my husband and I had a hard time reading the tiny print on the directions. When we did read them it said to apply after washing and to cover my head in a plastic bag for 25 minutes before rinsing. I didn’t have a shower cap handy, so I used a 2 gallon zippy bag! I looked crazy and no, I didn’t take a picture. I honestly didn’t notice any difference in my hair after the treatment.

Nanacoco Lip Gloss

-As I said before I wasn’t impressed with the color…until I finally put it on! The hot pink worked very well with my natural lip color. The gloss goes on a bit sticky but it doesn’t stay that way. I love that this lip gloss has vitamin E to help lips stay healthy and pretty at the same time.

Style Essentials Nail Polish-While black sparkle isn’t my normal choice of nail color, I still gave this a try. The polish went on a bit thin and at first I thought I’d need 2 coats but it dried well and a second coat wasn’t needed. I like that there is a delicate sparkle to this polish and I’ll be seeking it out in other colors.

La Fresh Travel Lite Makeup Remover Wipes-I like makeup remover wipes. I have used several brands over the years and these wipes from La Fresh work well. I love that they come in individual packets so they are easy to pack when you are traveling.

Overall the August box turned out to be better than I expected when I opened it. You can get beauty must-haves delivered to your door every month – Subscriptions under $12 from Beauty Box 5.
