Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products.

I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam look no matter what the day holds for me.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta speed things along with a few little marvy products.  Check out all the trendiest of autumn fashions now that the long, hot days of summer are starting to fade! Don't forget to share your fave finds and share with friends too. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. A BB5 subscription makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.  

Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand  and created their great sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.
  

I just received the December Have Yourself a Smoky Holiday Season Box this week.  The December theme is all about looking hot and smoky the trends no matter what your beauty regimen.  Just how do you add a those fearless new shades, tools and a bit of freshness to your routine? Let BB5 help you out! The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are it is all about being just a little bit adventurous.  They show you just how to let go of those summer colors and let the metallic eyes and rosy cheeks shine through even if you aren't walking the runway this week. Beauty Box 5 is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.    Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue December box:

As always It was chock full of amazing goodies that I could not wait to try. There were goodies for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  Lots of special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever the cool fall days take me from work to play.  They take me all over too but hopefully not too far from home. We will have to see. I am one busy mama as always.

The first item in this box is a full size Glamazon Stick.  I am always on the lookout to get me some glam and to add a bit of color especially during the fall and winter. This easy to use highlighting stick really adds just the right amount of pizzaz to any look. It has a smooth but slightly sparkly finish that is perfect for the holiday season and even New Year's Eve. This soft highlighting crayon makes it easy to add shimmer to cheeks, brow bone or even eyelids.  Retail: $24.00

All those parties and get-togethers means that everything has to come off sooner or later. So Fresh, So Clean makeup remover wipes are so pretty and work really well. These are my new go-to for those late nights when I am just so tired and want to go to bed but must take my makeup off and of course brush my teeth before bed. These work very quickly. This works gets all of the mascara and eyeliner off without rubbing or scrubbing. These would be good for travel as well.  A deal at $2.99.

This Ofra Eye Shadow sample is the perfect way to add some fall color and a bit of sparkle. If this classic color didn't work for you then check out all the other colors they have. Here is the perfect bit of accent that you need to add some highlights to your eyes. Add as much as you like but I like to use just a bit for the day but more for evenings out. This is priced reasonably too so enjoy...pick up a few colors to add sparkle and shimmer to different looks.  This would also be a super cute little gift tucked into a gift bag for your best friend, your girls.  At this price I can collect a few more. Retail: $13.50 

I love a good eyeliner that adds dimension because it really defines the eyes. Prestige Cosmetics Total Intensity Eyeliner is an ideal option. I use eyeliner most days for work. My everyday makeup routine includes moisturizer, mascara, a bit of eyeliner and lipgloss. I am thrilled because this eyeliner goes on smoothly so I can swipe on some defining color in a flash. This shade gives me a fresh swipe of color to add some dimension to my hazel eyes. Perfect on my busy days when I just want perky, defined eyes. I am looking forward to bright eyes this winter. This one lasted all day for me. A good deal at $5.95.

The final item in this precious box is a Blender Brush. It is a lightweight brush that lets me add a pop of perfect color on my eyelids and blend it in just right. This girl loves her makeup just right so I love this precise brush.  I don't have a ton of time so I am thrilled that it only take a few seconds to get the perfect look.  Retail $10.00
