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.

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.

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.

This month the focus is on the skin and hair. 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-or even if I stay home.  Even if I am home or staying local, I will still be looking good with all my goodies stashed in my bag.

The first item in this box is So Susan Colour Hybrid. I am always looking for a pop of color for my cheeks and something bright for my lips and this one does it all. Yes, it works as a lip color and as a cheek color or blush. If you love a bit of a flirty flush, you are going to enjoy this dual cream-mousse pigment that works just as well for your lips as it does for your cheeks. What could be better than a double duty cosmetic like this one in a bright compact tube? It is a space saver in my makeup bag and is ideal for travel or on the go. This pretty color looks great on pretty much any skin tone and adds a bit of fullness to the lips too.  You only need a little bit to add some color to your cheeks or you can dot a bit on the center of your lips and blend outward to brighten up your day. This product is easy to use too.  Retail $17.50

Style Essentials Pur-Lisse Pur-Lip Glow is the perfect way to add a bit of lightly tinted shine to your lips. I need something to keep my lips moisturized but I need color so this is a winner for me especially in the winter. I tend towards dry lips especially in the cold weather so it can be challenging because I also need some color on my lips. This moisturizing balm is great for those times when I just want a bit of color. Some days I am just not looking for anything bright but I love that I can swipe on moisture and a bit of natural looking color and shine. Another option for this moisturizing balm is to layer it on top of a matte color to add a bit more shine. Either way it feels great on my lips and looks pretty even by itself.  Retail $4.00.

Tint Beauty Unicorn Liner is a great match to the Unicorn Lip below! These come in tons of beautiful colors that run the rainbow from brights to muted neutrals. This slim liner makes it easy to outline and define your lips with the creamy formula. It glides across your lips smoothly and makes a great base for the Tint Beauty Unicorn Lippie. Use this as your base and add the ultra-pigmented color from Tint Beauty and your beautiful color will stay on all night long.  Retail $7.00.

  

Tint Beauty Unicorn Lippie is a great match to the Unicorn Liner shown above! The liner and ultra-pigmented, matte liquid lippie comes in oodles of gorgeous colors that are perfect for any occasion. You can go super bright or keep in low key with muted neutrals. The Unicorn Lippie Collection glides on easily over your lined or even unlined lips. It was formulated to last for hours and it really does. You can eat, drink and enjoy your day or evening. This smooth gloss glides across your lips smoothly and stays even better when you pair it with the Unicorn Liner. Retail $9.00.

The final product is the Jean Pierre Cosmetics Pink Moisturizing Lip Mask. Now you can splurge just a tiny little bit and feel like a real celebrity without breaking the bank. These adorable lip masks come in a set of 5 and let you prep like star for your next big date or event. These moisturizing masks are filled with collagen, vitamins and minerals to help prep your pretty pout. They are super easy to use too. You just place on clean and dry lips then smooth onto the skin. You can relax for 15 minutes while your lips absorb all that goodness. Once your remove them, you can gently rub in the remaining moisture.   Retail $5.00

Columbia SkinCare Probiotics Complex and Concentrate #ColumbiaSkinCare #Probiotics AD

Are you ready to try something new as part of your skin care regimen? Columbia SkinCare has recently introduced an innovative skin care product line called Columbia SkinCare Probiotics Complex which is backed by clinical trial experience. I was ready to learn more about this truly efficient product that makes skin renewal simpler. I need beautiful skin to feel good walking out the door each day. That is real for me. I was surprised to hear that Columbia is the oldest skin care company in the USA. They actually specialize in crafting therapeutic solutions for damaged skin. Their newest product line is based on the science of skin care to help support natural skin regeneration. It took 6 years of R&D to create a naturally derived SkinCare product that is different from what I have seen out there. Their formula is comprised of topical Probiotics, plant stem cells and peptides, also known as amino acids. They work synergistically to support the skins natural renewal process. 

Columbia has been innovating beauty and skin care for 145 years I am impressed with how this product looks and feels when I use it on my skin. The formula is elegant and it absorbs quickly. It almost has a silky feel as you apply it. I have been taking Probiotics for a while now and I notice the difference in my health. It makes sense that Probiotics on my skin would also have a positive effect. I like that the performance is backed by clinical trial experience. I love that the science has allowed Columbia SkinCare to develop a probiotic that is specific to the skin. I find it particularly compelling that this product will support my skin's wellness and renewal over time. I just want to have healthy, beautiful skin so this makes perfect sense. I have just started using Columbia SkinCare Probiotics Complex so I wouldn't expect overnight results. I will continue to use it and update you as I notice improvement in my skin with radiance and fine lines.

You can find Columbia SkinCare Probiotics Complex on the Columbia ProbioticsColumbia SkinCare website and learn more for yourself. If you purchase either probiotic product you will receive a complimentary moisturizing cream, a $38 value. Use code: ProbioticGift at checkout.  The Columbia SkinCare Probiotics Complex is $165 and the Columbia SkinCare Probiotics Concentrate is $190. You can also find out more by following them on Facebook/ColumbiaSkinCare

Everyone needs a gentle cleanser this time of year. Pur-Lisse Pur-Delicate Soy Milk Cleanser is the perfect option to cleanse away the day. I need something to get my skin super clean that is non-irritating and this goes double for me in the winter. I tend towards dry skin especially in the cold weather so it can be challenging. This cleanser is super gentle and has a blend of soy milk, soy proteins, whole oat and white tea. I love the ingredient list, it sounds like it is good enough to eat. But really, it is a simple way to remove makeup and dirt from your long day at work.

This keeps my hair looking glossy even when I use my hot tools or wash it more than I should.  Retail $4.99.

  

Nanacoco Classic Collection Nail Polish is the pick me up that you need for those drab winter nails. I received a deep maroon/pink shade called Girl which is just what I needed. This is the time to give those acrylics a break and save some bank and do your mani at home. These are beautifully inspired fashion nail colors that last and last. You could even toss one of the shades in your purse and let the salon do it for you if you were feeling indulgent. I prefer a DIY spa day at home with a heated throw. Make a mani-pedi date with a friend and have her bring the wine.  Retail $3.95.

The final product is the Maskeraide Spotted Anti-Blemish Clear Spot Patches. These little patches help minimize those pesky blemishes in a flash.  Don't delay, whip it out right away to save the day.  These little life savers are formulated with salicylic acid, volcanic ash and tea tree oil. They help to absorb excess oil and calm redness quickly. They are a cinch to use too...just cleanse affected area and apply overnight for the best results. Retail $7.00
