Beauty Box Five May 2015 SOS Subscription Box Review @beautybox5

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.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam no matter what the season.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta hustle with a few little special products.  Check out all the pretty warm weather fashions now that we are starting to really feel summer and happy beach weekends on the way! Consider helping out a friend or someone else in need with a little beauty fix. Even the little things help. Dry hands? Share your cream! Don't forget to share your fave finds with friends too. Help out with those S.O.S emergencies and lets help our friends have Super Outstanding Skin too. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. BB5 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 May S.O.S Box this week.  The May theme is S.O.S. which stands for Super Outstanding Skin- that is the guarantee for this month! Unbox that pretty blue box and say yes to fast makeup fixes, pops of fresh, bright color, and moisture in a flash! Flourish all month long with little extras for yourself and others. Take a peek this month with your 5 new favorites in your box- and beyond!  The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are unique and special. We all deserve to take a little bit of time to beautify and keep our look fresh even as we work hard all week long. Beauty Box five is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.  In Nay, don't forget to take care of your skin.  The summer heat can be tough on skin. Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet Caribbean blue May box:

As always it was filled with beauty goodies that I could not wait to try. There were treats for my skin for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  Lots of special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever my summer days take me.  Who knows where I will go this summer. We will have to see. I am one busy mama and that never changes!

The first item in this box is a sample of Dermatologica Active Moist Moisturizer. I love these mini sizes to take with me on my business trips. It is an oil free treat for my skin that is filled with silk amino acids. It should help even my skin's texture which I need. It feels great on my skin.  The oil free lotion absorbs in very quickly. I love the way my skin feels and it truly looks so much more hydrated.  Retail: $60.00 for 3.4 fl oz. 

The next product in the box is perfect for cleansing my hands on the go...another great travel size to try out. The Essenza Luxury Hand Soap will tuck perfectly in a purse or tote.  You never know what kind of soap is in those public bathrooms...this is great to have. It comes in a 16.9 oz bottle which I will be buying and using to refill my purse sized one. This luxurious cleanser caught my eye and nose right away. A few things I really like....that invigorating scent and essential oils and it feels great when I wash my hands. This is a great option for washing hands anytime. A good value at $4.99 for 16.9 oz.

The Styli-Style Highlighter Stick with two options in one. This little chubby stick gives you color and highlights all wrapped up in one unit. A nameless tween thought this was the bomb. This Highlighter Stick keeps me looking fresh all day long. The shade is perfect and just enough to add a bright touch of color. And a bit of shiny highlights.  These sticks are priced reasonably too so I will pick up one for my tween.  I love this bright color and the bit of glimmer is just perfect.  At this price I can collect a few more. $5.99 for 0.21 oz 

Coastal Scents Classic Synthetic Brush helps me get exactly the look I want with my eyeshadows. This brush is infinitely better than the tiny little brush that always comes with the standard shadows. This precise brush makes it easy to transform your look into something special.  A great product for any makeup bag at $1.95-2.49 each

The next item in this exciting May box for a little surprise is a Bio Swiss stainless Steel Mini Tweezer. This girl loves her pretty perfect brows so I was excited to get a kit for travel and on the go.  They are easy to use and get a grip on those stray hairs in a flash. Tuck it in your bag for the weekend away with the gals. No time means no worry...fix those brows and do it in a flash.  A nice option for brows on the go at $4.99.

Ionic Under-Eye Massager helps infuse my beauty treatments and improve my look #ionicinfusion

I am always looking for tools and tricks to help my beauty routine. I recently heard about a special new tool that I know is quite popular in Europe. Those Swiss, Italian and French gals always have a leg up on the newest beauty treatments. Now I got my pretty little hands in the Ionic Infusion 'Wrinkle-Eraser' Wand and Under-Eye Massager. This beauty tool uses ultrasonic therapy and negative-ion, micro-electric pulses to gently 'push' creams and serums deeper. The company shared that this suggests better efficacy. This beauty tool comes elegantly boxed. It looks and feels like the kind of high quality, European beauty tool that would be used in a luxury spa for facials.

This novel European style cosmetic infusion device is FDA listed (reg #D233185) and can be used around the external under eye area.  I love the idea of enhancing cosmetic treatments, particularly in the under-eye area. This high-tech, palm-sized sonic infusion device was designed to support the resilience of the skin around your eye area. This clever device works by gently tapping the skin around your eye at around 140+ sonic bps (beats per second). This simple tool supports absorption of serums and creams in an enhanced way versus using a finger alone.

This infusion device is perfect for the lower and upper eye area. It can even be used on the brow, forehead and lip areas. It is very comfortable to use. All it takes is 30 seconds of use, in the area around each eye. I have seen results quickly too. I already notice increased hydration, firmer skin and a more refreshed look after a week or so of using it. It is easy to use and feels comfortable in my hand. I used it along with my usual eye creams and serums for the past week. I already notice increased hydration, firmer skin and a more refreshed look after a week or so of using it. This is a great tool to help infuse creams and serums further into the skin.

It is so exciting to be able to use safe, tiny pulses of negative-ion, micro-electrical charge to  gently “push” my anti-wrinkle treatments lower into the skin and do it at home. It feels so high-tech. It is easy to use and only adds 60 seconds total to my beauty routine.  The results are impressive. 

You can pick up this Ionic Under-Eye Massager on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
