Subscription Boxes

Beauty in a Box

May 6, 2016

Who doesn’t like getting a box full of beauty delivered to her mailbox?  I’ve been receiving the monthly Beauty Box 5 subscription box for a few years now.  The box contains 5-6 full size and sample size beauty products per box.  The subscription is $12 per month if you pay by the month.  However, when you sign up for an entire year and pay in full the price goes down to $8.25 per month.  Not a bad deal for beauty in a box!

I’m a little bit behind in posting my April box.  I really loved everything in it, so I thought that I still needed to share it with you.

Beauty Box 5 April 2016

The theme for the April 2016 box is Hydration

    I was incredibly impressed by this box, and it is my favorite BB5 box to date! I can’t wait to see what they do this month!

    Terrific box. I’d be very happy with it. I’ve tried MaskerAide facial masks and liked them so the eye mask would be great to try. Love that they put the full size Chella lip crayon in there. That would make it for me.

    From everything I see, BB5 has consistently great boxes. I was sent one to try last fall, and I loved it. I’m sorry they didn’t continue. If Sephora doesn’t pick up their game, I may try BB5 instead. I have always wanted to try Jelly Pong Pong and I love Chella!

    This is a great sub box idea. I just can’t sub right now because I’m swimming in products 🙂

    Ooh, that’s some great stuff! I didn’t know MaskerAide did eye masks (they previously only did full face sheet masks) I need to get my hands on those.

    I recently had to switch from my normal makeup wipes to the GBC ones. They are pretty good!

One dress that can pretty much be worn year round… yes, please! Just change the shoes and accessories and create a whole new look. #ad 

In the meantime, I’m loving this versatile style from @coldwatercreek that can be worn to brunch or lunch, to the office, or even for a night out on the town this Fall season.

It’s a soft knit that couldn’t be more comfortable. It looks great styled with a belt too.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
