A Box Full of Pretty Pink Goodies

October 30, 2015

This month’s Beauty Box 5 is totally pinked out. That makes me happy!  I’m a fan of the color and love when companies use the color as a platform to bolster breast cancer awareness.  Beauty Box 5 decided to send an entire box full of pretty pink goodies for the October subscription box.  The price of the box varies.  The usual rate is $12.00 per month for 5 deluxe samples and sometimes full size products.  The cost goes down to $8.25 per month when you purchase an entire year.  So, let’s talk about what was in the box…

October 2015 Beauty Box 5

  1. HappyFace Makeup Cleansing Cloth from Happy Hands– A pretty pink machine washable cloth that removes makeup with just water.  It’s nice and soft too, therefore gentle on the skin.  Retail $3.99  #wipethatfaceoff
  2. Pink Rhinestone Kabuki Brush from Ferro Cosmetics – Perfect (and pretty) for buffing on powder products or for blending.  Don’t you love the rhinestones?  It’s pretty to keep out on the vanity too!  Retail $25.00  #ferrocosmetics
  3. Nubar Mini Nail Polish – One can never have too many pink nail polishes, as far as I’m concerned.  Retail $4.00 for full size  #nubar
  4. Perfect Pout Long Lasting Balm Stick fro Styli-Style – Love this balm.  It’s nice, highly pigmented and has a vanilla scent.  Retail $4.99  #stylistyle
  5. Knotty Hair Ties – This is perfect for putting your hair up in a pony tail.  They don’t cause dents in the hair.  However, my hair is too heavy to effectively wear this type of elastic in my hair.  Retail $4.00  #shopknotty

Worth it or not?  I think so!!  This is a great box of beauty products to sample for only $8.25 per month.  Let me know your favorite subscription boxes in the comments below.

    I just got mine a couple of days ago and I have to say that I think it’s a great box! I was just working on my review today. For the price, it’s so good!! I’d actually use everything in the box, minus the hair ties, but that’s just because of me having short hair!

      Yes, this was a good one! Funny that we both can’t use the hair ties but for different reasons. My hair is too thick and heavy for this type. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to level up If you’ve been looking for an easy way to level up your skincare routine, this is it! #roc_partner
 
I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.

These pieces are from @coldwatercreek where you can get versatile pieces for layering and mixing and matching all season long and then wear them for years to come.

Are you ready for the temperatures to drop too?

I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good beauty products that work well for my mature skin in hopes that others will discover them too.

Be sure to let me know if there’s anything you’ve been loving lately too.💖

Today I’m including:
•a body makeup product that helps cover, disguise and blur my dark spots from sun damage from too many years spent in the sun.

•an at-home FDA cleared fractional laser to improve the appearance of my skin and even help get rid of some of those dark spots. I’m using it nightly.

•a beautiful pink lipstick that is like happiness in a tube

•an excellent facial spf product that protects my skin when I’m outdoors. I purchased mine when I was in France.

•some tasty gummy supplements I’ve been using including a multivitamin and a gummy prebiotic and probiotic combo to keep my gut happy

•and a balm that works great for keeping my skin hydrated that I like to dab under my eyes and on the lines above my lips because hydration helps make fine lines look better/less obvious when I look in the mirror.
