Beauty Box 5 January 2017 Review

Beauty Box 5 January 2017.jpeg
The Beauty Box 5 theme for January 2017 is Red Carpet Ready. 


If you’re like me and love to experiment with all sorts of new beauty products, then a beauty subscription is what you need.  One that I really enjoy is Beauty Box 5 that sends five full and sample sizes each month from makeup, skin and hair care products, nail polish, tools, etc. for $12.00 per month with free United States shipping. 

Each assortment always is centered around a theme, making a dive into each box even more fun like the one for this month with Red Carpet Ready beauty products. 

Now that I may have gotten you curious about the contents of this month’s box, let me show you what awaited me once I opened that little green box.


Beauty Box 5 January 2017

1.  So Susan Light Diffuser–Full Size---------------------------------------------------$18.00

2.  Pur-Lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk (1 oz. Sample)---------------------$7.20

3.  Novex Bamboo Sprout Leave-In Conditioner (3.88 oz. Sample)---------------$3.70

4.  Maskeraide Spotted Anti-Blemish Clear Spot Patches (Sample)---------------$3.50

5.  Nanacoco Classic Collection Nail Polish (Full Size)--------------------------------$3.95


                                      Total Approximate Value:  $36.35!


The So Susan Light Diffuser is a new brand to me.  This is a small compact with a deep bronzer shade and champagne illuminator.  This product isn’t heavily pigmented so you do need to keep swiping until you get enough color to show up.

Pur-Lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk uses white tea and soy milk.  This is a water rinsing cleanser that treats even dry skin like mine delicately.

Novex Bamboo Sprout Leave-In Conditioner couldn’t arrive at a better time than what winter weather puts my hair through.  It helps with the shine and provided a softer feel to my suffering hair.

Maskeraide Spotted Anti-Blemish Clear Spot Patches is a sheet that has 12 clear patches with blemish-fighting ingredients of salicylic acid, volcanic ash and tea tree oil.  I really don’t break up much so this product is going to my neighbor’s teen daughter that could use this more. 

The Nanacoco Nail Polish that I got was in a creamy shade called Best of My Love.  This is a gray-blue color with some violet that is quite lovely.  I didn’t try it out yet, but I will soon.

I thought January 2017 was a very decent beauty month.  If you feel the same way, then check Beauty Box 5 out because you’ll love this beauty subscription, too!

Review: Beauty Box 5 August 2015--An Exceptional Beauty Stash!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Beauty Box 5 August 2015.jpeg
Beauty Box 5 August 2015 


As Summer continues to wind down, we can look forward to getting ready for Fall.  This month’s beauty box assortment is about doing some primping with some new cosmetics, skin and hair care that will help give you a beautiful fresh start for a brand-new season.  

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty box subscription that I really enjoy digging into.  Every green mystery box is so fun to explore because you can always expect about four or five full to sample size beauty products. You get both familiar brands as well as new ones, which is exciting when finding something that works magic for you that you never knew existed until that little box arrived.  And yet, the cost for this monthly bit of fun is just $12 a month with free shipping.

For instance, let me show you what this latest beauty box was like.  Wait until you see!


Beauty Box 5 August 2015


1.  Donnamax Printed Nail-File with Case–Full Size–$4.99

2.  Starlooks Lux Longwear eyeliner Pen in Plum –Full Size–$19.99

3.  Hask Beauty Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment–Full Size–$2.39

4.  Jerome Alexander Hot Stuff Go Pop Compact –Full Size–$10.99

5.  Pur~lisse Pur Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer–Sample Size (.5 oz.)–$18.00


Total Approximate Value–$56.36


The Donnamax Nail-File with Case was an insightful addition to this assortment.  This is great for throwing in your handbag because when is it that you don’t need a nail file? The case makes it more sanitary as well as convenient when rummaging through your cosmetic bag.

The Starlooks Lux Longwear eyeliner pen went on wonderfully.  It made a smooth line in a color that complimented my dark brown eyes so I will continue enjoying using that pen.

The Hask Beauty Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment I will be trying once I finish my current hair product testing.  Again, I think the company made a good choice because Summer heat can really take a toll on our hair.  

The Jerome Alexander Hot Stuff Go Pop Compact is strong looking and extra easy to open.  The only fault with this is no protective plastic over the lip shades or eye shadows.  Other than that, this is a great little set except I would not wear a bright mint green or the paler green of these shimmer shades. A grayish shimmer color is the last shade. The lip colors are a rose with gold, an orange and a pink nude with some shimmer to it.

Finally, I got a tube of Pur~lisse Pur Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer.  I got samples of this brand before and like how they work on my sensitive skin.  This formula is anti-aging and uses plant extracts and vitamins for moisturizing.  

I think August 2015 was a very good month of products for us, beauty loving girls for Beauty Box 5.  Don’t you agree?  Do check the company’s website out because it is a great way to shop for beauty.

Review: More Than Pleased With Beauty Box 5 June 2015!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Beauty Box 5 June 2015.jpeg
Beauty Box 5's June 2015 collection of products is quite sweet!


Happy days are here again now that my latest Beauty Box 5 has arrived.  Bon voyage is the theme for June 2105 from the beauty subscription with an assortment of products that are perfect for traveling to keep you dolled up in style.

If you still haven’t heard about Beauty Box 5, then you really are missing out on a fun way to shop because you never know what you’ll find in each green box. On average, you get about four or five full to sample sizes of beauty items per box, which can be had for just $12 with a monthly subscription.  

I like finding products from familiar brands, but it also has led me to discover new ones as well that now have become favorites.  For example, take a look below at this month’s box with me.  




Beauty Box 5 for June 2015

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (0.04 oz. Sample)----------$5.50

Herbal Essences Body Wash (1.2 oz. Sample)----------$2.50

LOL Rotational Eye Shadow (Full Size)----------$3.00

Nails Inc. Nail Polish (Full Size)----------$9.50

Simple Skincare Micellar Cleansing Water (.17 ml Sample)----------$.05

Beauty Bonus of a $20 Gift card to shop at Gorge Hair (on all order more than $49.95)



Total Value: $20.55


This Urban Decay Perversion Mascara is meant to play up lashes with extra black boldness.  I didn’t try it yet, but will soon.  I was thinking of saving it for vacation.

The Herbal Essences Body Wash is their new Honey, Smell Good scent, which does smell delicious and produces beautiful lather.  

LOL Rotational Eye Shadow palette is 01 Black Betty, perfect for doing a smoky eye. These are varying shimmer shades of gray, black and champagne that go on surprisingly smooth with nice pigment for such an inexpensive product.  

The Nails Inc. Nail Polish is in a lovely, bright medium pink shade called Brook Street that looks gorgeous for wearing now. I never tried this UK brand, but I heard only good things about it.  I will try it soon.

Finally, I got a tiny skin care sample that comes attached to a card with just enough of Simple’s Micellar Cleansing Water.  Just like your rinse-off makeup cleanser, this product is one to remove makeup and grime, only using a cotton ball or pad to swipe it off without involving water.  It worked nicely enough except it didn’t perform very well with my longwearing lip stain.

Overall, I think Beauty Box 5 for June 2015 was a wonderful month.  What do you think?  
Do check this company out and all they have to offer!

Review: L’Occitane en Provence’s Second L’OcciBox for Spring, 2015 Is Here!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

 L’Occitane en Provence’s Second L’OcciBox for Spring, 2015. jpeg
This is L'Occitane's Second L'OcciBox.  It does makes a beautiful gift.  

L’Occitane en Provence got into the beauty sampling program back in December with a seasonal box. This Spring I received the second L’OcciBox, full of their best-selling products and one from a special partner.


Besides an excellent way to test out some great beauty before you buy full-size products is the fact that you can buy by the box instead of being tied to an annual subscription.  The cost is $20, but the box has a $50 value. 

Just look at the contents of this second L’OcciBox for Spring, 2015.


L'Occitane's Second L'OcciBox for Spring 2015.jpeg
L'Occitane's Second L'OcciBox for Spring 2015


1.  Shea Whipped Hand Cream (30ml) – Another favorite hand cream of mine with 25% shea butter with a lighter texture.  

2.  Shea Butter Hand Cream (10ml) – This is an amazing, hardworking formula with 20% shea butter that I use all the time.  It doesn’t leave hands greasy, but soothes irritation quickly to leave softness behind.

3.  Jasmin & Bergamote Eau de Toilette (1.2ml) – This is a lovely fruity-floral where jasmine is the star set off with freshness from bergamot.  

4.  Immortelle Brightening Essence Sample (1ml) – This immortelle flower formula is for evening out complexion tone and brightening.

5.  Immortelle Precious Serum (7ml) – This anti-aging serum has the immortelle flower for its restorative powers in help with lines and wrinkles. 

6.  Bone Mere Rose Soap (3.5oz.) – This gentle formula with palm oil cleans without stripping skin’s natural oils as it scents with romantic rose.  

7.  1 cube of Sugarfina Champagne Bears (3.3oz.) – This luxury candy is inflused with classic Brut and Rose champagne! 
You can buy these limited boxes online or at L’Occitane’s boutiques, but you need to hurry if you want to take advantage of this deal.  Enter coupon code, SUGAR, at checkout to get that $20 price.

Review: Blush Mystery Beauty Box November 2014

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


Blush Mystery Beauty Box November 2014.jpeg
Blush Mystery Beauty Box November 2014

A must-have gift for anyone obsessed with beauty is giving them a beauty subscription this holiday season. One of my favorites is Blush Mystery Beauty Box because their beauty experts have excellent insight in scouting out the best new makeup, skin and hair care products to save a busy girl time with their monthly beauty picks. 

In fact, I have discovered so many wonderful products through them that I might not have found on my own. For just $24.95 a month or a one time box for $34.95, you always count on a mix of full to sample size products that are a higher end and always worth at least $100 in each black bag, which is a deal.

For example, I want to share what I found when I opened up this month’s bag.  Take a look below and you can decide yourself because I thought it was another awesome assortment.


Blush Mystery Beauty Box November 2014

1.  Lauren B. Beauty Nourishing Hand Creme–Full Size (2 fl.oz.)–$24.00

2.  Miracle Skin Transformer Face Spotlight SPF 20–Sample Size (3ml)–$3.25

3.  Traditions By Nick Chavez Prickly Pear Restoring Mist–Sample (2 fl. oz.)--$6.00

4.  Laura Geller Beauty Cool Lids Cream Eyeshadow in Silver Sands–Full Size–$12.50

5.  Skinmedica TNS Eye Repair–Sample (15ml)–$13.00

6.  Jane Iredale Eye Gloss (Aqua Silk)–Full Size–$15.50

7.  Nuxe Clarifying Cream-Mask With Rose Petals–Sample (15ml)–$8.70

8.  Julien Farel Haircare A2B Technology Hydrate Restore for Normal or Fine Hair–Full Size (8.5 oz.)–$33.00


Total Value: $115.95!

The Lauren B. Beauty Hand Cream has a beautiful floral scent in a luxurious feeling formula that helped do away with dryness.  Unless you hate or can’t take fragrance in your skin care, you would have to love this product.

I didn’t test the Miracle Skin Transformer Face SPF 20 BB cream yet, but I did try other skin care from this company from a previous bag and really thought it worked well.  I am looking forward to sampling this one soon.

I was so glad to find another Nicky Chavez hair product this month.  I first became acquainted with this brand through this subscription box when they included the Plump ‘ Thickening Shampoo from an earlier bag.  I fell in love with it because I can skip wearing mousse when I use that shampoo for what it does to pump up my curls. This leave-in conditioning spray was also quite nice.

The Silver Sands eye shadow from Laura Geller first appeared a few months back.  I was surprised to see the same tube return.  Though it’s a fine product, I would have liked another shade.

The eye cream from Skinmedica spread wonderfully without being too sticky or slick. 

The Jane Iredale Eye Gloss is a very good eye shadow for how it wears and looks.  My only problem with it is the shade of Aqua Silk.  I am into more browns, plums, and neutrals for the most part.  

The Nuxe Cream-Mask will be wonderful to try soon.  But, my face is once again under current skin care testing to do it now.  I am a big fan of masks whether they come from a store or my kitchen for improving a complexion.

Finally, I didn’t get to treat my hair to some deep conditioning with the Julien Farel Hydrate Restore only because I just did that the other day. You forgo shampoo and conditioner and use a bit of this instead to revitalize as it cleans for the return of gorgeous hair.  I can’t wait to try this the next time my hair is suffering.

I really thought the selection overall was great with the exception of aqua eye shadow.   What about you?  Have you tried Blush Mystery Beauty Box yet?  Do look into it for yourself and those beauty lovers that you're buying gifts for!

Review: Blush Mystery Beauty Box September 2014

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Blush Mystery Beauty Box September 2014.jpeg
Blush Mystery Beauty Box September 2014


Finding just the perfect beauty products is not as simple as some people think with all the brands available.  What I appreciate about Blush Mystery Beauty Box is that this company and their panel of experts helps you stay on top of the latest beauty trends and products to make it simpler. 

Every box is worth at least a $100 value, but it is usually more.  The beauty items are ones we either have longed to try or, perhaps, have not known about until discovering it in an assortment.  If you ask me, what better way to shop for cosmetics, skin and hair care, etc. than with a subscription for $24.95 a month or $34.95 for a one-time purchase?   

Let me show you my September 2014 box and you can judge yourself.


Blush Mystery Beauty Box (September 2014):

     1.    Vapour Organic Beauty Solar Translucent Bronzer (Simmer 222) Full Size- -$36.00

2.    Klorane Extra-Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk (Sample Size 50ml)— $6.50

3.    Lumene Sensitive Touch Cleansing Wipes (10 Count)— $3.00

4.    ColorWow One-Minute Transformation—Full Size--$24.00

5.    SkinCeuticals Advanced Pigment Corrector (sample of unstated size)—5ml? --$15.00 but probably more

6.    Juice Beauty Reflecting Lip Gloss (Organic Pink)—Full Size--$15.00

Total Value--$99.50 +

The Vapour Organic Beauty Bronzer was welcome to find.  I liked how it helped me transition from summer with enough healthy color without being too brown.

The Klorane Dry Shampoo was just the right size when packing for your vacation or to the hospital.   This is not the first time I used this product.  When normal shampooing is out of the question, this is the next best thing.

The Lumene Cleansing Wipes are another handy product that I thought dissolved makeup without much effort.  The only thing I didn’t care for was the package had an expiration date of 10/2014.

ColorWow One-Minute Transformation sounds like my kind of hair styling fix to transform thick, dry hair.  This product is one that I haven’t played with yet, but soon intend to.

As to the SkinCeuticals Corrector, this is another new product waiting on my vanity.  I will have to hold off trying this product until after finishing a current skin care product review.

Finally, there was the Juice Beauty Reflecting Lip Gloss.  This was my first time using this company’s lip gloss, but not the last.  The product was not sticky in the least and the plum color was gorgeous in Organic Pink.
 
I thought September 2014 provided an excellent month of beauty products.  If you haven’t experienced Blush Mystery Beauty Box, I think you should look into a subscription because it is a fun way to shop!

Review: Memebox Global #13 + Lots of Exciting August 2014 COUPON CODES!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Memebox Global #13.jpeg
Memebox Global #13


Hooray, my Memebox Global #13 arrived! This latest box of beauty goodies is geared to keep skin and hair looking sensational. Looking through the assortment and reading the card on what each product can do excited and intrigued me about what I was in store for!

Typically this variety of Memebox has between four and eight full and sample size products at a cost of $23 plus $7 shipping. It didn’t surprise me in the least that this is another sold out box once I began trying some of the products. Trust me, you can’t wait too long on a box that you love or risk losing out. Here’s why Memebox beauty boxes sell like hotcakes.  Check out what I received below.

Memebox Global #13


1. 23years old CX Detoxifying Air Therapy TeaFull Size---($50)

2. Donga Tempo Eco Natural Super–Sample Size of 3---($2.07)

3. CNP Cosmetics CPN Derma-Scalp Shampoo–Sample Size (25g)---$2.70

4. CPN Cosmetics CPN Tone-Up Protection Sun–Sample Size (15ml)---$10.30

5. Yufit Eon Wheat-Germ Cream75Full Size (75ml)---($48)

6. Soy BIO+ Soy Bio Plus Fermented Lumpoule–Sample Size of 2 (5ml)---$24.86

7. Nuganic Nuganic Customized Pure Snail Color Control CreamFull Size (40ml)---$54



Total Value: $191.93!


The 23years old CX Detoxifying Air Therapy took 23 years to age before this mineral-rich facial mask for deep cleaning, brightening, and firming is ready for use. I felt the carbonated bubbles in the formula working when I wore this mask over the half hour it was on. Afterwards, I was delighted at how luminous it left my complexion.

As to the Donga tampons, I was shocked and disappointed to find them in a beauty box. The only way they can relate to beauty is saving a woman from a possibly embarrassing situation, if you happen to find yourself without protection at that time of the month.

The CPN Derma-Scalp Shampoo is one that I gave to my guy since he was a better candidate with his oily scalp that I am with my dry hair. This stuff has tea tree oils for deep cleansing that cools in the process. He liked how it stimulated the scalp and cleaned because it seemed to also boost up the volume somehow.

The CPN Tone-Up Protection Sun is a SPF42 sunblock. I didn’t get a chance to try it yet, but you bet I will on the next rainless day.

The Eon Wheat-Germ Cream is a richer moisturizing cream with 75% organic wheat germ and shea butter among its ingredients that my dry skin drank up. I didn’t use it long enough to see anti-aging benefits, but it felt wonderful and so soothing.

The Soy Bio+ Lumpoule is another fascinating anti-aging product. Fermented soy bean makes up these two ampoules. I can’t wait to test this out since soy is known to help stimulate your skin’s collagen production.

I first noticed the use of snail derived skin care in some European lines, but never tried any until finding the Nuganic Customized Pure Snail Color Control Cream. This product is whitish when applied and gradually adjusts to your skin tone. It did a nice job of evening my complexion for a smooth, lovely finish that you would love.

I really thought this an excellent assortment–except for the tampons. If you haven’t tried any Memebox boxes or products from their online shop, then you so doing yourself a disservice because these products that I have tried so far have really been amazing. However, I can help get you get beautiful with some great deals.

Review: Blush Mystery Beauty Box July 2014

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Blush Mystery Beauty Box July 2014.jpeg
Blush Mystery Beauty Box July 2014


For the past few months, I have been reviewing Blush Mystery Beauty Boxes and have discovered some exciting new makeup and skin and hair care treasures that now have turned into beauty staples.  

What is so wonderful about this monthly beauty and makeup subscription service is that their panel of beauty experts has a sharp eye for finding the best products.  Furthermore, each box always has at least $100 worth of makeup, skin and hair care products from luxury brands for just $24.95 a month.  If you don't want to make a commitment, you can pay $34.95 for a one time purchase. 

As always, Blush Mystery Beauty Box came through with another impressive assortment with this month’s bundle of beauty goodies.  Here is what I found once I explored the contents of that familiar black bag.


July 2014 Blush Mystery Beauty Box:


1.  Great Barrier Island Bee Co. Manuka Honey Intensive Hand and Nail Cream–(1-oz. travel size )–$6

2.  Julien Farel Haircare Zero Frizz Restore (Curly & Frizzy)–FULL SIZE–$33

3.  Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel--Original Formula Packette–$3  

4.  Cattiva Cosmetics Waterproof Automatic Lip Liner (Dolce Diva)–FULL SIZE–$20

5.  Rouge Bunny Rouge Lip Gloss Gleaming Temptations–(Smother Me With Kisses 040) FULL SIZE–$23
  
6.  Smartfx SmartEye Wrinkle LiftFULL SIZE–$60


Total Value: $145

The Great Barrier Island Bee Co. hand and nail cream is something you can never have enough of.  This stuff smells nice, is fast absorbing, and does help soothe dry hands to make them soft again. 

The Julien Farel Haircare Zero Frizz Restore is an unusual multitasking hair treatment that is recommended to use on dry hair to cleanse and condition. You concentrate the product at the roots and it will produce a low foaming lather that you leave on for a few minutes to allow the ingredients time to work before rinsing.  I think it did help tame my waves and curls and made them softer with more of a shine.  I will keep using this as a weekly treatment.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare packet of face peel is one that I have bought before. In fact, when I saw this packet in the bag, I was elated because it is practically the best peel that I have ever used–and the gentlest.  I would describe it like a bad skin eraser to refine the skin’s texture better than you can imagine.  With this little wipe, you can practically buff the pores away without redness and burning.

The Cattiva Cosmetics lip liner in Dolce Diva is a basic nude color that can adapt with a variety of shades or skin tones.  It was a bit drier in consistency, but it stayed put to and kept my gloss intact.

Cattiva Cosmetics Lipliner

The Rouge Bunny Rouge gloss in Smother Me With Kisses was a shimmering raspberry-pink color with lots of shine and some gold to set it off.  Who can’t love that when it comes to dressing up your lips?

The Smartfx Smarteye Wrinkle Lift is a tinted eye cream and concealer in one.  The formula has “micro-fillers” for tightening fine wrinkles, puffiness, and under eyes bags.  I did not try it yet since I am currently testing another eye product. Soon, however, I am looking forward to trying it.

I think this was an awesome month for beauty lovers.  If you haven’t tried Blush Mystery Beauty Box, I highly recommend doing so because you always win with a fantastic value of products!

Review: Memebox #Hair & Body 2 Beauty Box + July 2014 Discount Code!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Memebox #Hair & Body 2 Beauty Box.jpeg
Memebox #Hair & Body 2 Beauty Box

In a jungle of beauty boxes, Korean brand, Memebox really knows how to keep beauty loving girls happy with their glorious variety of enticing selections.  This time the company sent me their Memebox #Hair & Body 2, which is sensational for scented pampering for skin, hair, and nails.  

With the seven products inside, you can keep gorgeous from head to toe all summer long. 

The cost of this box was $23 plus $6.99 shipping. Unfortunately, #Hair & Body 2 sold out three days after its June 20 release.  When I tell you what you missed, you will understand why beauties worldwide need to put their order in early once such a tempting Memebox is made available! 

Explore the contents of Memebox #Hair & Body 2 with me below.  

Memebox #Hair & Body 2 Beauty Box products unboxed.jpeg
Memebox #Hair & Body 2 Beauty Box products unboxed


1.  Kocostar Foot Therapy 40ml–Full Size–$9.00

2.  Label Young Shocking Holjjuki 100 ml–Full Size–$21.00

3.  Hello Everybody Spa Vita Berry Shampoo 30 ml–Sample Size–$5.18

4.  Hello Everybody Spa Vita Berry Treatment 30 ml–Sample Size–$5.18

5.  Vidanail Lvida Lavender Oil 10ml–Full Size–$10.00

6.  Evas Cosmetics Body Net 7Days Project (Berry Complex) 200ml–Full Size–$6.00

7.  Boutique Bebe Hair Salon Argan Oil Essence 60ml–Full Size–$31.00

Total Value: $87.36


The Kocostar Foot Therapy was a fun way to moisturize feet just by slipping them into this translucent pair of socks filled with treatment.  It attached around the ankle and when worn for about an hour and half, it exfoliates hard skin gradually over the course of several days. This made for smoother, prettier feet for my new pair of sandals.

The Label Young Shocking Holjjuki was next on my list to try.  This cellulite buster draws out trapped toxins due to its green tea and algae extracts.  Though not a permanent solution, I did notice a bit less of that dimpled texture on my thighs after a few uses.

Hello Everybody Spa Vita Berry Shampoo has such a delicious fragrance that you will not want to rinse as you lather with this luscious formula of ten berry extracts.  

Next, I followed with the Hello Everybody Spa Vita Berry Treatment to further nourish it. My hair was shiny, manageable and possessed that lingering berry aroma.

The Vidnail Vida Lavender Oil was something special that I really enjoyed.  Imagine how fabulous it was inhaling lavender in a product to revive the condition of your nails. 

The Evas Cosmetics Body Net 7Days Project in Berry Complex made me feel like I was bathing in a fresh tub of foaming berries.  It was a perfect end to a long, hard day at the computer when you need to unwind a tired mind and body.

Last of all, I got a bottle of Boutique Bebe Hair Salon Argan Oil Essence.  Who doesn’t love argan oil hair serums?  This girl certainly does!  However, I just conditioned so I didn’t try this product yet, but I will the next time I do.

Since I can’t travel the world to personally shop for beauty products, I am so glad that Memebox brings the best of what Korean brands have to offer to us.  Our languages may be different, but we speak the same language when it comes to beauty. 

Here’s something exciting, readers, you can get $5 off your purchase on any Memebox selection when you enter discount code SJNCTE18HN at checkout starting July 1 until July 31, 2014.  This discount is limited to one time per customer.  

What are you waiting for, gorgeous, when there is Memebox’s website to browse?  Trust me, you are going to love what you find there!

Wantable Beauty Box for May 2014

Like anyone excited about beauty, I am constantly reinventing myself and changing my looks like a chameleon. One day I might want a soft, natural look and then the next I go trendy or dramatic.  Constantly experimenting with new cosmetics, skin and hair products, and fragrances can cripple your budget. However, the right monthly beauty subscription service like a Wantable Makeup Box can be the perfect solution.  

What makes Wantable so special is that you receive all FULL SIZE luxury brands geared to your individual preferences of colors and products chosen by their beauty experts for $36 a month or $40 to buy one box at a time.  

Usually you get four to five products that in all likelihood are ones you are just going to love because you went through a questionnaire that matched you on those likes and dislikes first. Nonetheless, if you aren’t pleased, then return it and the company will give you a full refund.

Trust me though, why would you want to with a no-risk deal like that, especially when I tell about what arrived for my personalized Wantable Makeup Box for May 2014.

I got a Vincent Longo Trio Eyeshadow Compact in Harem--($30).  This is a gorgeous palette with shades of gleaming deep umber, pale peach, and a rosy pink.  I had never tried this brand, but these neutral colors are sensational for how they blend to light up my brown eyes.

I also got a tube of Mirabella Lipstick in Heat.–($22).  I already know how wonderful Mirabella lipsticks are for comfort and incredible color delivery and was delighted to find one in my box.  Though this is Coral according to my sheet, I would describe the color as more of a flaming red-brown, an ideal compliment to my new eye shadows.

Next, I found my favorite form of eyeliner, a GlamNatural Mineral Eye Pencil in Black Opal–($25).  With how sensitive my allergy-prone eyes are at this time of year, I am thrilled at the forethought of Wantable including a healthier pencil during peak allergy season with everything finally blooming.

Last in my box of beauty goodies, I got Pla Beauty Cheeky Blush in Blushing–($22).  At first glance, I wasn’t sure if this dusky rose matte shade would be dark enough.  But, I am glad to say that I was wrong because it was more pigmented than I thought.  This blush delivered just enough sheer color to give me a beautiful natural look without looking powdery or overdone.

I really love my Wantable Makeup Box and think theirs is a great subscription service that is worthy of your attention.   Do visit their website for more information or to sign up because you won’t regret it!
