Beauty Box 5

The Beauty Box 5 shop is having a major sale just in time for spring! All of our lovely Bellapierre Eye Kits are half-price! That really is a major steal and with the upcoming season change it’s definitely time for some new additions to that makeup collection. 

In this video, Elisa at Team BB5 is modeling a fun, gorgeous look created with Bellapierre eye and lip products - and we couldn’t forget to prime her eyes with Elizabeth Mott “Thank Me Later” primer from February’s beauty box to prevent creasing. Here’s what we used:

The weather here in the US might be cooling down, but we trust this NYX Love in Rio- En Fuego palette will keep us warm and cozy through our chilly months. You don’t need an expert to tell you mauve, berries and plums will be huge for Fall 2015 because these particular pigments are already popping up on stores’ shelves. I was probably too excited to match my berry colored glasses to my pants and eyes yesterday, but no shame, babes.

I’m a sucker for anything purple, so I’m scrambling to put away my bright pinks and corals. The En Fuego palette is especially great for anyone with bright eyes because the high pigmentation and red base brings out our stormy colors. I love this particular wine undertone because it takes some real courage to wear sienna and bright ruby on your lids, but this cute combo is a trendy baby step.

I primed this look by applying an eye shadow base (like this Bellapierre beauty) because it really makes the pigment of the shadow pop and prevents creasing. 

Using an angled brush, I made an outline with the lightest color, silvery lilac, from the corner of my eye to the end of my brow, using caution to not cover my brow highlight. I then filled the base color around the rest of my eye, ensuring to get the corner of my eye to lighten the look. Next, I applied the middle color, plum, to my lid all the way up to the ridge where my bone starts. Finally, I finished the look by filling my crease with gunpowder. I also create a line on the outer corners of my eye, making a V-shape to darken the look a bit.

Simply add a wing and prayer (that you get the perfect eyeliner flick on the first try), and pile on some mascara to complete the look. I also used NYX’s lip butter in licorice and slim lip pencil in prune to pull together my plum-hued look. It felt great to be rocker chic and take on the fall to come, even if I was just pretending for a day.

BB5 Intern, Erin, here to give you a few exfoliating tips for the upcoming cold weather. During Winter, skin can become dry and rough, but with this amazing product baby soft skin is only a shower away!  

There are few products that make me want to rant and rave, and even fewer that I feel everyone needs to try. However, everyone reading this blog post needs to stop what they are doing and get ahold of Rachel’s Plan Bee Original Body Polish. This buttery, honey-like body scrub is the bee’s knees, no pun intended, and has become one of my favorites. Ever since my first use of this body polish, I have been absolutely hooked.  

I am an avid user of body scrub and have tried various types of scrubs over the years. I’ve tested scrubs from drug stores, Sephora, and even from indie brands found exclusively on the internet, but no scrub, expensive or cheap, compared to this. When you first open the container the aroma of shea and honey spills out. My best friend said it smelled so good, that she wanted to eat it. To me, it smelled so good, that I wanted to use before my next date. So I was pretty eager to jump in the shower and try this product out.    

I am obsessed with the idea of smooth, soft skin and always feel like the next girl’s skin is smoother than mine. With every body scrub tested, I have always felt the need for lotion or 100% Erzuli Shea Butter after. This wasn’t the case with Rachel’s Plan Bee. I hopped in a hot shower and followed my regular routine. I use Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash with an exfoliating loofah from The Body Shop. After a thorough wash, I massaged a quarter-sized amount of product onto each area of my body concentrating on my driest areas. I rinsed the areas off and patted myself dry (the directions specifically say PAT dry). I was amazed by the results. My skin felt like I had already applied shea butter and lotion, and I could still smell the fragrance of the body polish radiating off my skin. Definitely a must-have for a date.

After my years of searching for a perfect body scrub, I believe I have found it. Never have I used a scrub or wash that didn’t require my 100% Erzuli Shea Butter after. I am amazed how much I love this product and how much I wanted to scream it from the mountaintops. If you have any problems with dry skin this body polish is a necessity. Made in Buda, Texas since 2012 this Body Polish should be staple in your beauty routine.
