I am not a girly girl that is into a lot of make-up and beauty stuff but I am totally enjoying getting my Beauty Box 5 box each month. I have discovered some great new products and the April box didn’t disappoint.

The Nika K Hydro lipstick in Concerto is my favorite thing in this month’s box. I love the buff color on my lips and this lipstick kept my lips very moist for several hours before I needed to re-apply. At $4.99 a tube it is also an affordable lipstick option.

The BH Cosmetics California Palette sample was a nice way to try one color from each of the three California palettes: San Francisco, Hollywood and Malibu. I applied the powdered eye shadows with a brush instead of an applicator and it worked well. I did not apply a primer to my lids and the color only lasted about 5 hours of what was a 15 hour day. My favorite of the three palettes is the San Franciso palette.

When I opened the box and found the Bonne Bell lip liner I was taken aback, I didn’t know people still used lip liner, I thought that was a 90’s fad. Nonetheless, I tried it and it worked fine. The warm brick color I received was very close to my natural lip color so I didn’t get that dark lip outline look that was prevalent back in the day.

The Blum Naturals All-Purpose Cleansing Wipes-Fresh Scent are a handy mini-canister of 30 wipes with a convenient key chain attached. This product, which has no synthetic preservatives or fragrances, is paraben-free, has no SLS, is hypo-allergenic, PH Balanced and is not tested on animals, has already found its way into my Disney backpack for our next visit!

I have tried other “glow” or self-tanner lotions before and they have never worked. I am here to tell you the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer does work. I used it on a Friday, forgot to use it Saturday and on Sunday I noticed horrible jagged tan lines at my ankles and as later confirmed by my husband, on my upper back! Unfortunately, the pictures we took don’t show the tan lines well enough to bother posting. I’m trying to decide if I should use the last 2 days of the sample I have to try and even things out or if I should give up. What do you think?

The retail value for the April Beauty Box 5 box was $16.22 which isn’t a great savings but it was filled with some great make-up so I think that makes this month’s box worth the price.

Last week the FedEx man brought me a beautifully wrapped box from Puffs Fresh Faces. The box included a back sack, a water bottle, a sweat band, a pedometer, a box of Light Lavender Fresh Faces, a box of Fragrance Free Fresh Faces, a travel pack of Fresh Scent Fresh Faces and a travel pack of Vicks scented Fresh Faces.

Three of the five of us suffer from allergies and of course, we all get sick so I am sure the Puffs Fresh Faces will become a staple around our house for sore noses, dirty hands and faces. I have already popped the Fresh Scent travel pack into my Disney bag so it is ready to help me freshen up on my next trip.

Puffs Fresh Faces are available at Target and Walmart stores and online at Amazon.com, Drugstore.com, and BoogieWipes.com.

Do you think you will be incorporating Puffs Fresh Faces into your beauty care regimen? Leave me a comment and share your thoughts.

Disclosure: I received this gift box as a Fresh Faces Blogger. All opinions are 100% mine.
