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

At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consisten At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consistently use a retinol product until now because I couldn’t handle the dry, irritated skin that I experienced when using them. #OlayPartner

@olay has this new Retinol 24 Starter that’s intentionally made for beginners and/or people with sensitive skin like me. I’m now able to get the “gold standard” benefits recommended by dermatologists with this gentler formula to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, fade dark spots and improve texture.

It’s formulated with Pro-Retinol, Triple Collagen Peptide and Aloe Vera to reveal the smoother, brighter skin that’s been unreachable until now.

And if you’re a long-time user of retinol products, they have several stronger formulas that you can check out too.

New users and those of us with sensitive skin can conveniently purchase this gentler formula at our favorite retailers or online. Give it a try. I think you’ll be as impressed as I am.

Tell me in the comments the number one goal you want to achieve for your skin.

GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking your best at any age isn’t about looking younger. It’s about looking like the best version of you.

At 61, I’m all about makeup that enhances my features, works well with mature skin, and still lets me look like me. I don’t want to hide behind my makeup, and I don’t think any of us need to. With the right products and techniques, makeup can simply bring out what’s already there.

I used all clean beauty makeup products to create a fresh, natural, polished look that feels good without feeling overdone.

If you’re a woman over 50—or 40, 60, or 70—and you’re looking for clean beauty, natural makeup for mature skin, makeup tips for mature skin, anti-aging makeup techniques, or natural-looking makeup that enhances instead of covers, this one is for you. ✨

Beauty doesn’t have an expiration date. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident.💕

Save this GRWM for your next makeup day and tell me: do you prefer a natural makeup look or something a little more glam?

As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new beauty and skincare products, these are some of my favorites over the last few weeks of the summer that I would repurchase again and only 1 fail.

As a matter of fact, I already repurchased the vitamins and prebiotics and probiotics supplement. I didn’t know Kourtney Kardashian was the owner of that brand. I only had 1 fail this time which was the terrible tasting creatine gummies. I don’t like stevia, but if you do then you may like with them.
