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 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.

What was in the November Beauty Box 5?

LA Fresh Good Day Day Moisturizer

Yes, I agree, the name is a bit redundant. This moisturizer retails for $40 and seems to work as well as my $10 moisturizer. Since we only received a sample, it was difficult to compare over the long term but, it did leave ,y skin soft and moisturized throughout the day.

Kaunis Facial Mask

This facial mask is cool and soothing and really makes my face feel rejuvenated after I have rested with it on my fave for about 20 minutes. Retailing for $14.95, it isn’t a mask I would use regularly but it is a nice special treat.

Altcheek MD Eye Gel Pads

We received a set of 2 of these pads. I tried using the first set when I was visiting my mom. Unfortunately, about 10 minutes in to wearing them, we had company arrive and I had to head to the restroom to remove the gel pads. Once returning home a few days later I tried the second set. After wearing them for 30 minutes my eyes were not less puffy they were read and irritated. I guess I am allergic to something in these pads.

MOODmatcher Luxe Twist Stick

Lip color is my new thing. I have been afraid to try bold colors but when the MOODmatcher shade-changing lip stick arrived, I couldn’t wait to try it. I have received a lot of compliments each time I’ve worn the color, so I guess it isn’t too bold. Also, this lip color really lasts all day! This $8 lip color is worth every penny.

The All Natural Face-Vegan Matte Cream Lip & Cheek Color

Honestly, I really don’t care if my cosmetics are vegan or not. This cheek color in Dusty Rose, complements my skin tone nicely andis a nice addition to my beauty arsenal. The fact that it only costs $5.75 is an added benefit.
