I love Beauty Box 5 and eagerly await each box that they send because there are always so many great things to try every month. Like every box before it, the November box proved to include five infinitely useful things, and given the holidays these five carefully curated picks are perfect for traveling.
BB5 selects the box contents thematically, and their November box is all about being "gracefully grounded."
They assert,
Keep your look on point! A graceful gal knows giving your body the same amount of attention you devote to scanning Black Friday sales results in that glow from within that money can't buy. Gift yourself an extra 10 minutes with these goodies in your pampered routine and you'll practically dance through the rest of your day.
The November box contains:
1) Afterfeather Refillable Travel Bottle | Retail: $8.95 Set of 2 Refillable Bottles (one in the BB5 box): This pretty little travel buddy is not only functional and TSA-approved, but easy on the eyes! Fun fact: these were inspired by the beauty all around us and are totally reusable for all your favorite products. This is a super cute travel bottle that is going right into my carry-on bag for my next trip! The size is perfect, and the sturdy construction means that it will neither leak, nor will it break. I will use this again and again. #afterfeather
2) DenTek Floss Picks + Case | Retail: $2.49 4 count (full size in BB5 box): Floss in style with these adorable picks and colorful case! BB5 Tip: keep this little cutie in your bag to minimize those embarrassing smile moments. Trust us, it will become a must-have in no time. Another winner for traveling, and in my travel bag it goes! #dentek
3) HASK Macadamia Revitalizing Shine Oil | Retail: $2.99 5/8 fl. oz. (full size in BB5 box): Nuts for having healthy hair? We know you will cherish this ultra-hydrating oil just as much as we do! Apply a small amount to your ends after conditioning and watch dull strands come back to life.
According to HASK,
Dry hair is thirsty hair! Quench its thirst with Hask® Macadamia Oil Moisturizing Shine Oil. This lightweight, instantly absorbing oil is alcohol-free and rich in Omega 7, Vitamin E & Antioxidants. Macadamia Oil helps to replenish moisture and seal the hair cuticle for added softness to transform dry, damaged hair into soft, silky locks. The delicious scent will delight your senses.
This is a delightful smelling oil that promises to transform the hair. While I have only tried it on my tips so far, I will say that it adds lovely shine. #haskhair
4) Laura Ashley Body Coconut Lime Butter | Retail: $20.00 Set of 6 body butters (1.75 oz. each. One full size body butter in BB5 box): Play princess for a day and indulge in this nourishing, rich lotion! For a maximum moisturizing moment, smooth it on post-shower while your skin is still damp for seriously smooth results with a sweet scent, too. The TSA compliant size, pleasant scent and great hydration make this a perfect travel companion. #lauraashley
5) Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash | Retail: $6.49 22 oz. (1.8 oz. travel size in BB5 box): Meet the latest beauty breakthrough from Dove. With a rich lather and even more of our gentle cleansers, Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash will leave you with softer, smoother skin after just one shower. Once again, this is the perfect size for travel, and who wants to use someone else's bar soap when you can use your own liquid body wash that moisturizes as it cleans! #OneShowerChallenge

ReplyDeletep.s. if work is over, the mufe madness is up for swatch oogling! hope you've gotten a chance to relax at some point!
Once I'm finished with all of this work stuff (yep, still working on it :) then I will take a trip to the Bay Area to visit my mom, sister and niece! My computer is still in the shop :(
DeleteI will definitely keep you posted about that body butter, and think that you will be seeing it in an Empties post before too long!
LOVED your MUFE post, but then you already know that! THanks for the awesome email– I will try to respond tonight! It's going to be a long work day!
awww thanks! and there's never any rush to answer the emails. it's just chit chat among friends right?
Deletehope the laptop returns soon!
It's just the truth! Definitely love the chit chat among friends!
DeleteI hope the laptop returns soon as well!
I gave this subscription box a try twice and both times cancelled. Truthfully, I liked this box the least of all I tried. I'm glad you like it, though.
ReplyDeleteHi cpl100– there is no point in keeping a box service going if you aren't happy with the things that you receive! I have been quite happy with BB5 :-)
DeleteHappy Monday, Lola! The Laura Ashley coconut lime body butter sounds like something I would absolutely love!
ReplyDeleteHi Allison, While I have done nothing more than try it on the back of my hand– I will say that it smells really yummy! :-)
DeleteOops, Happy Monday to you too! <3
DeleteI've always wanted to try BB5. I think you've just convinced me :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cari! I have been consistently happy with their boxes. It's definitely worth trying! I'm super happy with the November box, and already packed the contents in my travel bag! :-)
Deletethis box would make me sad. No makeup :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, I did kind of want something like a lip gloss, but then again I have a million of them! The timing of these products is just perfect for holiday travel though! I'm hoping that there is some makeup in the December box though!
DeleteThis month´s BB5 looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteHi Leelo, I agree! Everything is perfect for traveling over the holidays!
DeleteI love the looks of that travel bottle! So much prettier than the generic clear ones.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Deborah! The bottle is probably my favorite thing!
DeleteThis box was fantastic! <3 I have nearly finished the body butter already!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are loving yours too! I haven't started using the body butter yet since I wanted to save it for my holiday traveling, but it smells and feels wonderful!
DeleteLooks like a great selection! I'm totally lame and would be most excited about the floss case. Those little flossers are so hard to keep contained in one space.
ReplyDeleteHi Bailey, I definitely agree! Not lame at all– I got excited when I saw that as well– especially since it's purple!
Deletedeluxe samples always come handy for travels! happy thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Kath! Especially since they are TSA regulated sizes in case you have to jump on a plane to get where you are going!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you too, Kath!
DeleteThis is such a great box! I love that Dove body wash.
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie! I agree! I already popped everything into my travel bag! I haven't tried the Dove Body Wash yet, but am definitely looking forward to it!
DeleteThis month's box is super nice. I feel BB5 has really stepped it up.
ReplyDeleteHi Norah! I agree! I can't wait to see what they do in December, and I hope that they include some makeup for the season! :-)
DeleteLooks like a nice box :)
ReplyDeleteHi Destany, I'm definitely quite pleased with it! It's perfect for the season!
DeleteI really do love Argan Oil especially from The Hask
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan as well!
