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.
Why splurge on fancy essential oils when you can wind down with these?
This June we decided to share some heavenly treats with our subscribers in the form of Vitabath’s “Wild Red Cherry” and “Dreamy Pink Frosting” body wash. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I keep my sample in my purse to take quick pick-me-up sniffs when my days drag, but, then again, can you really blame me?
What I love about Vitabath (aside from the decadent scent, of course), is their emphasis on quality and health. Made from combination of nourishing vitamins and antioxidant blend of acai, goji, and mangosteen, this invigorating bath and body products are moisturize skin without nasty additives like propylene glycol, mineral oils, silicone, and parabens.

Question: Who doesn’t love a fabulous cleansing wipe?
Answer: That’s a ridiculous question.
Cleansing wipes (AKA the most helpful tools ever) are key to wiping off makeup, grime, and whatever else life throws your way. Right now, we’re loving Blum Naturals All-Purpose Cleansing Wipes, which we featured in April’s beauty box!
Aloe-infused and naturally derided, our favorite thing about these wipes is that they come in a cute canister that is easier to re-seal, prevents drying, and fits anywhere you want to throw it. Plus, they're hypo-alergenic, paraben-free, and cruelty-free, which means they’re great for your skin and your conscious. Huzzah!
Ever wondered how celebrities get a perfectly precise pout?
The secret isn’t an expensive lipstick or even a fancy lip brush– it’s lip liner! An often over looked looked tool, this little stick can mean the difference between a photo-perfect lip and a smeared smile. And we’ve all been there.
I was excited for us to feature Bonne Bell this month for a ton of reasons: the pretty colors, compact size, smooth application, and durability. And, of course, the price.
I love a good steal, and because these little guys are so cheap I can stock up on several in one trip without breaking the bank
I’m a minimalist. Or at least I try to tell myself I am.
Whether it’s cosmetics or fashion, I try find quality items and purge often (easier said than done), but I’m always thinking “what if?” What if I really need that short sequin dress? What if there is a day I DO want to wear that sample of lime eyeshadow?
What I love about BH Cosmetics is that I don’t have to agonize over the “what if?” Their palettes are full of playful brights, subtle colors, and every day neutrals– I can have everything I want, and use everything I need in just once place.
This April we featured the California Collection Palette, which showcases standout shades from other Cali-themed palettes, including a basic bronze, bright gold, and a rich purple. Perfect for beginners or eyeshadow addicts, these shadows are blendable and feminine.
I like all the colors in these adorable mini, but my favorite is the gold (I’m trying to achieve sun goddess status) and the purple, which I’ve used it at the corner of my lids to upgrade a basic eye and applied wet with an angled brush for a DIY liner!
Tree Hut rocks my world.
I had the pleasure of trying each body butter, hand cream, and foot scrub we featured this month and from the fabulous fruity scents, to the lusciously thick formulas, this brand can do no wrong!
At a certain point in your life, taking good care of your skin becomes really important.
For a long time I focused on lipstick and eyeliner, accepting that my skin was never going to glow or look like Naomi Campbell’s due to years of acne-filled struggles and my frustration with foundation. However, about a year or two ago I started using cleansers, exfoliators, and night creams and I was really impressed by how much nicer my skin felt– I was hooked.
When I first saw this product, I can admit I was a bit intimidated at first touch, even as an exfoliating enthusiast. The natural loofah feels a little hard in its natural state, but I decided to trust Swissco because I’ve loved their other exfoliating products (seriously, using the Bath and Shower Exfoliating Gloves is my favorite part of my shower routine), and this pad did not disappoint!
Now a permanent fixture in my exfoliating routine, I use this little guy twice a week with whatever cleanser I’m testing out. It stimulates the blood circulation in my face, gets of dead skin, and, most importantly, leaves my cheeks so smooth!
World, meet Jane’s Pick!
An all-natural winner, these lovely handmade soaps are made from an earthy blend of essentials oils, herbs, and flowers. Personally, I love the smell and latherability (is that a word? It should be a word) of these soaps, but my favorite thing is actually just the way they look.
As a girl who cares quite a lot about appearances, Jane’s Pick All Natural Soaps pass my expectations with flying colors! Everything from the calming green package to the natural and gorgeous patterns in each bar make me a happy girl.
My take? Bar soap gets an unwarranted bad rep!
In the past I’ve tended to associated bar soap with an old-school crowd thanks to childhood experiences (hey, Grammy!) and I was wary to give my sample a go because my skin is on the dry side, but I’m pleased to report that the soap didn’t leave my shins and elbows at all flaky!
BB5 Tip: These bars are so gentle that you can even use them on your face if you’re in a pinch!
Although I prefer to use this soap as a body wash or shaving cream substitute, I seriously appreciate that using it as a face wash is a possibility. A little unconventional, I guess, but they are so pretty!
Loved your sample sliver of Jane’s Pick? We knew you could!
Whether you are looking to beautiful your bathroom, or give a thoughtful gift to a fellow bar soap enthusiast, you should check out all the different fragrances on our shop and pick up a generous full-size bar for $8 from our shop!
Smell ya later,
