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.
A confession: I never get my nails done.
OKAY, not never, but most of the time my nails are painted from the safety of my bed and in close proximity to Netflix. I like my lazy weekend ritual, but sometimes I do yearn for the cool nail art on Instagram, which I obviously can’t do myself.
Luckily, I was staring at my chipped, black-purple nails not so long ago when these babies arrived at the office. Did the BB5 Team have a manicure party? You bet we did. And we LOVED it.
Who would have thought sea grass was such a great idea?
The lovely folks at h2o clearly know their underwater florals and put together a great mix of water lotus and bamboo extract, red marine algae, and vitamin e!
The Sea Lotus Body Wash is the perfect companion to the Swissco Exfoliating gloves that were also included in our January box (see what we did there?), so I recommend slathering that bod with this refreshing wash and exfoliating the cold away.
BB5 tip: Use this when your man is on a business trip.
One of my favorite things about this fab smelling body wash is that it occupies the (very sexy) unisex territory. Don’t get me wrong, I love fruity scents as much as the next gal, but sometimes something a little cleaner and less feminine is a great change of pace.
Loved your sample? Buy a full-size here for $18!
Keep clean!

You’ve probably heard the phrase “there’s no place like home for the holidays,” but I’d like to introduce you to another holiday saying:
"There’s nothing like a sexy smoky eye for holiday parties."
That’s right, the season is upon us and we’re giving back to our subscribers by giving you a sneak peek at the goodies that are soon to come: these awesome Love in Rio eyeshadow palettes by NYX!
Deodorant is not a sexy product.
However, deodorant eliminates B.O. and gives you a clean slate to start the process of becoming sexy. This November we wanted to help you on your journey to feel sultry and alluring, and, most importantly, confident.

Are you a jet setter, chronic snoozer, or just terrible at properly cleansing your face each morning? Then you know it’s hard to be chipper when your face feels super gross, which means dependable facial wipes are a must.
At BB5 we’re fans of the La Fresh Facial Cleansing Wipes from your October beauty box because they’re great for all skin types, gentle, biodegradable and compostable! Each wipe is pretty thick and contains Vitamin E, aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile, marshmallow and tea plant botanical extracts.
It’s a little ridiculous to carry your favorite cleanser with you at all times, so why not keep a pack of wipes in your purse?
Hi, lovelies!
November is fast approaching and we are getting antsy! We can’t wait to share more goodies with you, but for now a little a little spoiler will have to do, so here is the DL:
This November’s beauty box is all about making you feel prepared to take on anything, so you can expect luxurious, spa-style treats and more Bellapierre eye candy!
Although we’re only just starting to think about fall here in Texas, we know that our northern gals are already adjusting to changing leaves, chillier temps, and a more serious moisturizing routine.
Are we jealous about your gorgeous foliage? Yes. The cold? Not so much, which is why we decided to team up with Aveeno for our October box and send y’all a sample their awesome Daily Moisturizing Lotion.
Aveeno is a great skincare staple because of the non-greasy oatmeal formula, and the fact that it’s fragrance free, which means you don’t have to worry about creating a Frankenscent when you apply your favorite perfume. Huzzah!
Hooray, my new specs are in from Rivet & Sway!! Wanna know what pair I picked?!?!?! You should keep reading then! (My interview with John, one of the Rivet & Sway founders, is in here too!)
