Beauty Box 5

Question: Who doesn’t love a fabulous cleansing wipe?

Answer: That’s a ridiculous question.

Cleansing wipes (AKA the most helpful tools ever) are key to wiping off makeup, grime, and whatever else life throws your way. Right now, we’re loving Blum Naturals All-Purpose Cleansing Wipes, which we featured in April’s beauty box!

Aloe-infused and naturally derided, our favorite thing about these wipes is that they come in a cute canister that is easier to re-seal, prevents drying, and fits anywhere you want to throw it. Plus, they're hypo-alergenic, paraben-free, and cruelty-free, which means they’re great for your skin and your conscious. Huzzah!

Need an eyeliner that’s waterproof, super smooth, and seriously black?

Yeah, we thought so. Friends, meet Cattica’s Precisione Eye Liner! Our May subscribers will get this awesome retractable pencil that is full-size and valued at $20, which is MORE than the cost of a monthly subscription. 

Intrigued? You better be. Sign up by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT EST to snag this eyeliner and a May box! 

Ever wondered how celebrities get a perfectly precise pout?

The secret isn’t an expensive lipstick or even a fancy lip brush– it’s lip liner! An often over looked looked tool, this little stick can mean the difference between a photo-perfect lip and a smeared smile. And we’ve all been there.

I was excited for us to feature Bonne Bell this month for a ton of reasons: the pretty colors, compact size, smooth application, and durability. And, of course, the price.

I love a good steal, and because these little guys are so cheap I can stock up on several in one trip without breaking the bank

I’m a minimalist. Or at least I try to tell myself I am.

Whether it’s cosmetics or fashion, I try find quality items and purge often (easier said than done), but I’m always thinking “what if?” What if I really need that short sequin dress? What if there is a day I DO want to wear that sample of lime eyeshadow?

What I love about BH Cosmetics is that I don’t have to agonize over the “what if?” Their palettes are full of playful brights, subtle colors, and every day neutrals– I can have everything I want, and use everything I need in just once place.

This April we featured the California Collection Palette, which showcases standout shades from other Cali-themed palettes, including a basic bronze, bright gold, and a rich purple. Perfect for beginners or eyeshadow addicts, these shadows are blendable and feminine.

I like all the colors in these adorable mini, but my favorite is the gold (I’m trying to achieve sun goddess status) and the purple, which I’ve used it at the corner of my lids to upgrade a basic eye and applied wet with an angled brush for a DIY liner!

There’s absolutely nothing more empowering than the perfect lipstick.

Whether you gravitate towards brights, prefer nudes, or stick to classic reds, a swipe of color will boost your confidence and make you feel twice as put together, which is why Nicka K New York’s Hydro Lipsticks are my latest obsession!

Super hydrating, long-lasting, and paraben free, this line is just as good (if not better), than any brand you’ll find at Sephora. Made with jojoba oil, the formula goes on easy and feels light, even though the color pay-off is killer.

Plus, the Hydro Lipstick really is long-wear! Mine lasts through water bottle sips, several cups of coffee, and lunch. I now, of course, own a tube in almost every color.
