I received the April 2014 Beauty Box 5 to review. This month’s theme is Shades of Beauty.
I love how the Beauty Box 5 comes with a ‘packing slip’ which describes each of the products it contains.
Here is what I received in my box and my thoughts on each:
BH Cosmetics California Collection Eyeshadow Palette
Be a beach babe year-round with BH Cosmetic’s Malibu makeup palette. Get that sun-kissed glow with these lovely warm and cool-toned eyeshadows, inspired by the hot summers on the Malibu coast.
My Thoughts: The colors are very pretty! These hues are not for me,(except perhaps the brown) but my teenage daughters love them. The shades are vibrant and long lasting.
Nicka K New York Hydro Lipstick
Enjoy luscious color infused with hydrating moisture for a perfect pout, everytime. Available in 24 sensational shades, our new Hydro lipsticks are formulated with jojoba oil for lightweight, conditioning and long-lasting wear. Housed in sleek, luxurious, faux metal packaging. Paraben Free.
My Thoughts: Although I usually only use high pigmented lip glosses, I am very impressed by the density of this lipstick color ( in Concerto) It is really hydrating, too. It feels silky and light and is not clumpy.
Blum Naturals All Purpose Cleansing Wipes
My Thoughts: I love these amazing little wipes for removing makeup or just wiping off your hands any time of the day. Being a mom with a messy little boy, these are perfect to wipe off his sticky hands or face on car trips, or while we are at the park. I love how you can use the canister as a keychain!Jergens Natural Glow – 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer
Jergens Natural Glow 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer creates a color that’s gradual, flawless and captivating. Jump-start your color and achieve a skin tone one full shade darker with no sunless tanner odor in just 3 days with Jergens Natural Glow 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer.
My Thoughts: I love a great sunless tanning lotion. This one is amazing! It gives me a beautiful, natural looking glow and does not stink one bit .
Bonne Bell – Lip Definer (in boysenberry)
My Thoughts: I don’t really use lip liner anymore, but I did try it out. It has a nice pigment for a cheaper liner pencil.
