Beauty Box 5 October 2016 Boss Babe @beautybox5 @realhercosmetics #AmLactin #realhercosmetics #EmeryAndIvory #EINails #ColourMe #ChellaBeauty

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 special 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 beauty 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 and even a savvy fashionista Gramma to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you. Good skin care and the joy of beauty has no age limit!  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 October Boss Babe box this week.  The October theme is all all about being your own boss and taking care of business...that is your own personal beauty. In between apple picking and pumpkin patches, squeeze in just a little touch of pampering for your skin and hair. Beauty Box 5 always has all the tools and tricks to help you look pretty from your head to your toes.  Okay, but just how do you get your hair, lips, eyes and nails looking just so? Let BB5 help you out! The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are it is all about taking care of yourself.  They show you just how to style your hair and eliminate the frizzies. They give you the tools to freshen up your nails super fast and glam them up with hot winter colors. This month the focus is on the skin and face. 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 month's sweet sea blue box:

As always, my box was filled with of lovely goodies that I could not wait to try. There were treats for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  There were several special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever I go.  Even if it is far from home I will still be looking good with all my goodies stashed in my bag.

The first item in this box is a Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil. This is a real multi-tasker when you consider makeup products. I love the size since it fits into the smallest of purses too. This highlighter lets me brighten up the inner corners of my eyes and make me look like I got a full night of sleep anytime I need it. I can sculpt my brows and even accentuate my cupid's bow to make my smile even prettier.  Retail $18.00

Color Me Femme Gold or Red is a great way to usher in fall or any new season. Either option smells wonderful but you can choose Femme Gold when you are looking for a fruitier fragrance with a hint of citrus. If you want to go more floral and spicy, pick up the Femme Red and you will be set. I don't know about you but I love getting new fragrance for each season. There is nothing like a little dab behind my pulse points or in back of my knees for a long lasting all-day essence.  Retail: $10

Amlactin ULTRA Hydrating Body Cream is just the thing I need to keep my skin soft no matter what the weather. I love that this formula helps me show dry skin who's really the boss! It uses a patented ULTRAPLEX formula to gently exfoliate and deeply hydrate at the same time. This cream really helps to smooth any rough, dry bumpy areas of the skin. It is even effective if you suffer from KP also known as Keratosis Pilaris. They suggest that you apply twice a day to problem areas and make sure you use your SPF. This cream is a great deal too so stock up for the winter. Retail $2.99

  

Now is the ultimate time to be switching to a super moisturizing lipstick like this one from Real Her. Real Her Moisturizing Lipstick along with a big cup of coffee will get you through the day. I do like the wonderful formula since it is a true combination of gloss and matte that leaves my lips moisturized and beautifully colored. All the shades are highly pigmented so you get really bold color too. I received a beautiful deep pink shade that is ideal for me. Check out all the colors online and pick your faves for fall and winter.  Retail $18.00.

The final product is a Custom Nail Applique from Emery and Ivory. This is an easy way to get a gorgeous manicure minus the wait for the enamel to dry.  Who has time for that anyway? I love that I can apply these easy strips and have a beautiful manicure in minutes. The color options are fantastic and you can customize the nail appliques for your own nails with ease. This saves me time and money and no more trips to the pricey salon. Retail $12.99

So, are you ready to get in on the fun? The ladies from BB5 have put together another really amazing box full of beauty fun perfect to take you straight into spring and even summer. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the goodies to keep you looking fab for all four seasons.

DERMA E beauty has a fresh new look that you are going to love @derma_e @brandbacker

Disclosure:  Powered by Brandbacker

My skin has always been a priority even with my busy lifestyle. I squeeze in a quality skin care regimen in no matter how tired I am.  I really prefer to use natural products when possible.  I am so much more conscious of what I put on my skin and into my body. It all makes a difference in the long term. I worry so much about the skin on my face and my eyes. It would help if I got more sleep but since that isn't happening anytime soon between work and my busy life, I love to try unique products that support good skin care like those made by Derma E. The best part is that Derma e is doing a packaging refresh for their complete line of skincare products. Derma e® is a company that has been specializing in natural skin care for years. The secret is in the ingredients. The best part is that these wonderful and effective skin care products are available online and in some of my favorite stores like Ulta and Whole Foods. The holidays which are approaching quickly and I always want to look my absolute best especially for all those photos.
 

Now you can start to be looking for all your fave Derma e products in their fresh new packaging now through March 2017. By the end of the first quarter of 2017 there will be 100% of the products in the beautiful new packaging. Don't you love how the gorgeous blue lotus really stands out with the fresh, white background?  I received the Hydrating Day Creme in the old packaging and Hydrating Night Cream in the new packaging. I love the new package so much better. The wonderful and effective skincare formulas are not changing. I love the way I look in the morning after using my Hydrating Night Cream from Derma e. Look for the best selling and ultra effective Microdermabrasion Scrub + Overnight Peel in your stores too. That will be the next product to be in the new packaging. I adore that all Derma e products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free and GMO-free. It makes me feel good that I can use an effective skin care line that cares for me, the earth and my family all at the same time.

I am dating myself a bit but I do remember when people didn’t consider what you ate or what you used on your skin.  Smoothies were not standard breakfast fare and no one chatted about super foods at the gym. Only crackpots and weirdos talked about sustainable living. Who even considered skincare to be eco-friendly? We were just worried about avoiding wrinkles and looking gorgeous. derma e® was launched 30 years ago and healthy started to take a new direction. derma e® changed the idea of skincare by fusing powerful vitamins and plants together with modern science. Things have just gotten better and better since the mid-1980's and interest in health, wellness and environmental sustainability has grown stronger. Derma e has very strict ethical standards and never compromises on skin health and safety. Purchases even support global communities and the environment. 

Some things haven't changed at all over the years and that can be a good thing. I always feel good about using derma e® prouducts because they alway adhere to the highest ethical standards when it comes to animal welfare and their impact on the planet. What could be a better win-win than beautiful skin and a beautiful planet? No surprise that derma e® continues to grow more and more popular by the year. I know I always share my beauty faves like derma e with my friends and family too! The products are all easy to find too whether you shop online or in the store. derma e®  derma e® can be found online or in tons of stores across the U.S. including my faves like Whole Foods Markets, ULTA Beauty, Target and CVS.
