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

We did good.

“Rock the natural curls.” -Natalia, Art Director 

I was blessed and cursed with thick, curly and frizzy hair. I say blessed because after years of tangled out of control hair, dozens of styling tools, and hair care products, I’ve finally mastered styling my hair into soft, wavy curls and dialed down the routine from 2 hrs to 45mins. This year though, I’d like to go back to my natural roots and let the mane go wild. The hot tools and products work miracles on getting silky smooth hair, but it’d be kinda liberating to step out in natural curls. 

“Dress to  impress.” -Joanna, Marketing Director 

Austin’s known for it’s very “relaxed look” so we’re very casually dressed in the office. However, the famous Paris Hilton once said, “There’s too many beautiful women in the world to not always dress your best.” I’m taking her advice and making the office my runway!

“Give myself compliments on a daily basis.” -Lauren, Customer Account Manager 

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!

“Find my one true red.” -Alexa, Communications Director 

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! 

Ready, set, new year!
