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.
1. Perfect my brows
I’ve been patient and allowed them to grow out, and now it’s time to tame them! I love a good thick brow and glamourous arches, but I was not blessed with either, so I’m trying to embrace a straight shape and eyebrow pencils.
2. Find my one true red
I love lipstick and I have a great selection of bright pinks and purples, but I’m still questing for the perfect red. I’ve thrown out or returned a few in the last two years because they were the wrong color, had an awkward shape, or dried out my lips, but this lack of a power red is killing me. The quest begins!
3. Go beyond the basic eye
Minimalist I am, and my daily look is simple: cat eye, bright lips, subtle bronzer on the cheeks. The thing is, I own tons of palettes and brushes, but I don’t experiment enough. It’s time to go wild, binge on tutorials, and see what I can do.
4. Treat myself to more masks
Right now I use a Korres sleeping facial several times a week and pretend it’s a night cream, but I’m not in love with it. It’s time to pony up and buy the masks I can’t get enough of them and use them more often. Goodbye, nose pores!
5. Go for quality, not quantity
I love clothing, but in the last year or two I’ve tried to buy more fitted, luxe pieces so that I really love everything I have and not settle for a second-rate fit. It’s a process.
