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’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃 The Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!

I absolutely loved all the dresses and accessories I absolutely loved all the dresses and accessories I tried on! I ended up buying the orange striped shirtdress that day, picked up another one a few days later, and I'm still dreaming of one more.🤦🏻‍♀️

Now, bring on that beach vacation or call me to go to brunch! I’m ready and I have the perfect dress!👗 

Comment SHOP for the links and sizing info.🥰
