Beauty Box 5
We're a beauty sampling subscription box that sends you 5 deluxe samples from our favorite brands every month for $12. We're constantly on a quest to find the perfect lipstick.
Bliss in blue and magenta.
There’s always a new hyped-up product that fades, but guarding our precious skin from the sun is a nonnegotiable fact that shouldn’t ever go out of style!
By now SPF should be one of the first things we look for in a moisturizer and in our cosmetics, but sometimes traditional formulas still fall short. Shielding your skin is always in and should be done every single day, but sensitive complexions and coverage that wipes away make us not too crazy about the sunscreens of the past.
Despite the important coverage, greasy formulas with gross smells are far from our favorites, so we jumped at the chance to use Pur~lisse’s Pur Protect Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30. This buzzed-about lotion has earned its reputation as a light, airy formula that it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any residue behind, so it’s perfect to layer under foundation or wear alone! Plus, the light citrus smell isn’t too strong and plant extracts pamper skin while protecting it, making it ideal as your everyday face moisturizer. Adding it to your getting-ready-routine in the morning is a no-brainer, especially since we wouldn’t want you rocking rough tan lines-

Yikes!
But, in all seriousness, sun damage goes beyond what you can see on your skin, so guard against skin cancer and premature aging by applying SPF daily- no matter what the weather!

The perfect moisturizer is a rare thing, but this comes pretty close.
No joke: I am all about Clean & Clear’s Hydrating Gel Moisturizer. I don’t experiment too much with skincare products because my face is pretty sensitive, so I was a little anxious about testing this guy out, but ended up being pleasantly surprised!
As someone with combo skin, I appreciate that this product keeps my dry spots hydrated, but doesn’t wreck my t-zone. I also loved that I didn’t need to use a ton of product, which means saving serious dollars.
Curious about the superhero behind our customer service? Lauren has great ideas for the new year!
1. Unmask myself!
As I have grown older and more secure in my skin I want to let it breathe! Yes, I have a few blemish scars and odd freckles, which I can probably only see as I stand less than a millimeter away from my brightly lit bathroom mirror but still am very aware of, so wearing foundation has become a daily routine. I think it’s time to just let go and embrace these beauty marks of mine and get rid of my foundation! Less is more, right?
2. Focus on my eyes.
I have always loved lipstick and wear it religiously but when it comes to eye shadows I never feel like I can pull them off correctly. I think its time to watch some YouTube tutorials and make my eyes shine with various colors! I honestly have a problem. I buy and buy eye shadows but they never see the light of day. :/
3. Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!
My mom always told me you better moisturize to keep your skin looking young and smooth. Trust me this was an everyday thing from her but being hard headed I wouldn’t listen. With the winter season it has definitely become apparent that keeping my entire body refreshed is a must!
4. Give myself compliments on a daily basis.
I feel beautiful but it is so much easier to spot out the imperfections. When I see something in the mirror I don’t love I am not putting myself down, I am and going to make it something I am proud of. I am talking about you after holiday belly bump!
5. Keep my nails looking fresh!
If I see a chip in my nail polish I am not waiting for the other nails to catch up. If I have to go bare because I can’t keep up with keeping my nails looking perfectly polished my nail polish obsession will have to be put on hold!
If you’re a Beauty Box 5 subscriber and haven’t tried your deluxe skiin samples from your September box, you need to ASAP because your skiin will never be the same!
What is skiin?
Created in Plano, Texas, skiin is a power-packed line of anti-aging skincare products from Beauty Shop One Stop specially formulated to meet the needs of sensitive skin.
What makes skinn so awesome?
In my opinion, it’s the fact that two of the skiin products, the Instant Face Lift and Soothing and Smoothing Eye Cream work in minutes to reverse the signs of aging… and I mean in MINUTES!
Hey Beauties!
Here’s the other wonderful Tree Hut option we’ll be sending out in March! Aren’t you excited to see which one you get?!?!?!?

Tree Hut's extra thick body butter is infused with certified organic Shea butter, Cocoa butter, Coconut extracts and Safflower Seed oil. It was designed to seal in moisture, give deep hydration, and extra special attention to those problem areas.
Peace, Love & Samples,
