Beauty box 5 June Beauties

Coastal Scents Revealed 3 Palette
This mini shadow sampler is the perfect traveling companion. The shades are highly pigmented, buildable, and can be transformed from day to night. While I love the colors in this sampler, this shadow didn’t have any staying power. I used it on a Sunday morning and by the time I got home from church, there was no color left. I didn’t prime or anything as I was just going to church for 5 hours and not doing my full face. My usual eye shadow lasts for hours under the same conditions. Full size retails for $19.95

Did Hair Jeweled Hair Tie Set
These hair ties are adorable! I won’t be wearing them because I just cut 10″ off my hair last month and I no longer have enough hair to pony up. I do have a friend that will be loving these blingy hair ties. Retails for $7.50

Jesse’s Girl Liquid Eyeliner
I am not usually a fan of liquid eyeliner because I have no eyeliner skills. I was drawn the the beautiful blue color of this liner. The calligraphy-style brush allows for precision application and the formula is quick drying to prevent smudges. Even I was able to use this liquid eyeliner and I loved the color and how well it stayed put all day long. Retails for $6.99.

Prestige Cosmetics My Biggest Lashes Mascara
Sometimes there is no escaping summer drama, so why not add a little in your lashes? This plushy brush grabs close to roots to boost high volume with no clumping. I haven’t tried this mascara. I seldom wear mascara and I have too many already opened. This will be passed on to my daughter-in-law. Retails for $7.50.

Laritzy Lip Pencil
Need a long-lasting lip color for all your summer plans? try this Laritzy Lip Pencil! Pair this creamy, pigmented liner with your favorite matte lipstick or fill in your lips completely and top with a gloss! I love this color. I used it Sunday with a matte lipstick and it looked great. Retails for $18.

So, this month’s Beauty Box 5 subscription had a retail value of over $40.00! I love how much value you get for a $12 a month subscription. If you don’t want to commit monthly, you can always pay full retail and buy just the items you really want.

May Beauty Box 5 Goodies

Daily Concepts Exfoliating Body Scrubber

This scrubber was amazing! I packed this instead of my usual bath pouf and it did a great job. I love that it is affordable at $5.00. I’m going to pick up another one for our cruise in August. With this exfoliating body scrubber you can buff away roughness and cleanse deeply, it works for all skin types too.

Cougar Beauty 24 Hour Liquid Lipstick

This long-lasting formula will remain flawlessly in place throughout the warmest summer night. I used this lipstick one of the nights and it lasted all night long! Retails for $12.99.

Jersey Shore Cosmetics Mongongo Lip Conditioner

Use this all natural, organic lip balm before and after applying liquid lipstick for a moisturized lip. The coconut scent smells like summer! Retails for $10.00. I am not a coconut fan but I added this lip balm to my cruise tote because dry lips are annoying.

Jelly Pong Pong Bare Necessities Highlighting Pencil

I am still figuring out how best to use this versatile peachy pencil. You can use it as an eyeshadow base, hightlighter, and/or concealer. It retails for $17.95.

Nanacoco Jumbo Eye & Lip Pencil

I love this beautiful thick plum eye pencil. It works great as a liner or shadow. For me, the purple color doesn’t work well as a lip color. Retails for $5.50.

De La Cruz Arnica Salve

This bonus item is a 0.12 ounce tub of salve for cracked skin. I haven’t needed to use it yet but it is in my back for when I do.

The May Beauty Box 5 shipment has a retail value of over $51 for as little as a $12 subscription fee. Beauty Box 5 is a great value for the woman who likes to try new beauty products each month.

What was in the April 2017 Beauty Box 5 Box?

Sweep Rose Gold Lash Curler

This curler retails for $15.99 so this month’s box is already worth more than the monthly subscription price. I’ve never been a fan of lash curlers but I gave this one a try. I have short, light blonde eyelashes and as usual, I found using this tool difficult. I was intrigued that the directions said to use this before applying mascara, I’ve always curled after applying mascara. I guess I have been wrong all these years!

BB5 highlight Fan Brush

It is a treat to receive 2 tools in one box. This brush retails for $12 so this box is an awesome value. This pro fan brush is ideal for dusting shimmer along the high points of your face or sweeping on color for a diffused look.

Be a Bombshell Blush

I love a good blush and these highly pigmented hues can be used as blush, bronzer, or highlighter for an allover glow. I received this blush in the color “Cougar” and I am loving it! This retails for $6.

Did Hair Gold Bobby Pins

Bobby pins seem like such a simple accessory but these gold ones add some flair. Metallic accents are all the rage so why not use these gold bobby pins to accent and secure your favorite hairdo? Retail price $8 for 12 bobby pins.

Jean Pierre Vitamin C Sheet Mask

I love pampering myself with at home facial masks. This brightening and hydrating mask contains Vitamin C to lighten dark spots for an anti-aging spa treatment at home. These retail for $12.99 for a set of 5, we received one mask.

What was in the February Beauty Box 5 Box?

The February box was all about having kissable lips, and it is one of my favorite boxes so far! We received 4 full sized products with a retail value of over $37.00 for the price of a $12 monthly subscription.

Tint Beauty Unicorn Lippie $9.00

Let’s get mythical! Introducing the Unicorn Lippie Collection-making its debut in this month’s box. These ultra-pigmented, matte liquid lips glide on so easily and last all night. I wore this with the Lip Glow all day Saturday at a training event. It lasted all day and I like the neutral color.

Tint Beauty Unicorn Liner $7.00

You’ll need a matching liner to go with your Unicorn lip. Outline and define with this creamy crayon before applying your Lippie for more staying power.

Style Essentials Lip Glow $4.00

With a lightly tinted shine, this balm glides on sheer with a moisturizing and comfortable finish. This is great alone or over your favorite matte shade. I wore this over both my Unicorn Lippie and my Colour Hybrid and it was the moisture that was needed to complement each of the matte lip colors.

So Susan Colour Hybrid $17.50

This rich cream-mousse pigment looks great on every skin tone and adds fullness to your lips. Apply a small amount on the center of your lips and blend outward. Finish with a moisturizing balm. This is my new favorite lip color!

Jean Pierre Cosmetics Pink Moisturizing Lip Mask $5.00

Prep your pout and repair dryness with collagen, vitamins and minerals. place on lips and then smooth onto skin. Leave on for 15 minutes, remove, then rub in remaining liquid. We received one lip mask to try. The $5 price tag is for a set of 5. I didn’t really notice any difference after this treatment.

Nanacoco Classic Collection Nail Polish

I like Nanacoco nail polish. It goes on smooth and lasts for a few days. Unfortunately, I again received a bottle of black nail polis. I don’t know who uses black polish but it isn’t me.

Maskeraide Spotted Anti-Blemish Clear Spot Patches

The patches, made with salicylic acid, volcanic ash, and tea tree oil, absorb excess oil and calm redness quickly. Just wash the affected area and apply over night for best results. I wish I had these a few weeks ago when I had the worst breakout I’ve had in years. I’ll add these to my stash for the next time myself or my kids need them.

Novex Bamboo Sprout Leave In Conditioner

This long haired gal was excited to try a new leave in conditioner. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to its claims of “leaves your mane feeling nourished with a glossy celebrity shine.” It left my hair heavy, dull, and oily. I should have re-washed the same day but my schedule didn’t allow for that so I had to wash the next day.

So Susan Light Diffuser

If you are looking for an easy contour combo, this is it! Apply the contour shade to the hollows of your cheeks, while placing the illuminator over cheekbones, temples, and nose.

Pur-Lisse Pur-Delicate Soy Milk Cleanser

Cleanse away the day with this gentle, non-irritating blend of Soy Milk, Soy Protein, Whole Oat, and White Tea. I love how clean my face feels after I use this cleanser.

This haute hairspray tackles flyaway without ever feeling tacky. I love this spray for when I curl my very straight hair. It holds well and helps keep my style throughout the day or night.

Hikari Lip Gloss

These highly pigmented glosses are perfect to wear alone or layer over lipstick for a more intense finish. This color is a bit dark for my complexion but I’m going to give it a try over some lighter lipstick.

Jelly Pong Pong Liquid Gossamer

This lightweight, liquid illuminator provides the perfect highlight: just dot and blend with fingers or a brush onto cheekbones, tip of the nose, or brow bone for a soft glow. I really can’t wait to give this a try next time I get all dressed up.
