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.
New Year’s Eve is all about shining bright, but you don’t have to overthink it! Get sparkly in a flash with the Nanacoco glitter polishes (a favorite in this month’s box!) and you’ll be party ready in no time! As for the rest of your ensemble, we love pairing a show-stopping nail with elevated basics, like-
1. A sassy bold lip that’ll stay put even after a kiss at midnight! Our current crush is Elizabeth Arden’s Amethyst (and it’s on sale, too!).
2. A simple but perfect little black dress that you can wear again and again after the confetti falls, like this pretty number from Modcloth.
3. A celebration on your arm- literally!- with this festive cuff from Ban.do.
4. Black pumps that make a statement with some sassy gold snake print and a chain ankle strap- plus, did we mention they’re from Target and totally a steal?
5. Look-at-me-lashes without the hassle! LashEM’s Extensions in A Bottle will wow you and your makeup look into the New Year- no falsies necessary.
Be safe and be well! We’ll see you in 2015 with a whole lot more sparkle up our sleeves, too.
Xoxo,
The BB5 Team
