Each month BB5 curates a thematic beauty box, and January is devoted to caring for and adorning hair and nails. Rather than adhering to the standard five products, they added a sixth this month.
Bodipure Keratin Gloves (Full Size. Retail $5.00): I am so excited to try this moisturizing hand, nail and cuticle treatment. My hands get so dry during the winter, and I suspect that these gloves will make them look and feel much more moisturized! #keratinglovesFormulated with 100% vegetable active ingredients derived from renewable sources. Nails will grow healthier and stronger while skin will feel unbelievably silky smooth. Slip into a soothing glove or sock, loaded with an intensive, healing emulsion to strengthen nails, moisturize hands, soften cuticles, and provide dramatically longer-lasting polish application.
Benefits of Keratin :
- Reinforces the protective outer layer – keeps skin healthy
- Repairs existing damages
- Protects your healthy skin, guarding against damaging heat, chemicals or friction
- Increases skin elasticity
- Increases skin hydration
Nails Inc's rich burgundy 'Sloane Mews' polish is timelessly elegant. The smooth formulation and generous brush make application easy, creating intense color with just a couple of coats. Glossy formula.

Those keratin gloves sound so intriguing! I like what I seem from BB5 because it's not the same stuff as in ipsy and Birchbox, it seems to focus on new and different.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely the most intriguing to me as well. I haven't yet tried them, but I can't wait to give them a go. BB5 definitely seems do feature different things from those included Ipsy and Birchbox.
DeleteNot as exciting as some of the others but I'd be very interested in the hand mask too. And finding a nail polish in subscriptions is always happy news.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I definitely think it is a good mix of products, but I would have personally preferred something other than the hair styling products since I have so many things like that crowding my drawers and cabinets.
DeleteThis looks like a perfect selection. I'm interested in the gloves, they seem like such a great invention.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try the gloves, and they are definitely the most intriguing to me!
DeleteOhh I like this box! Very interested in the Keratin Gloves!
ReplyDeleteThe Keratin Gloves have definitely caught my interest as well!

DeleteThis is a box I could love. Those Keratin gloves... I need some! My hands get so dry, this time of year and it's hard to keep up with just lotion.
ReplyDeleteThe Keratin Gloves are definitely super appealing to me as well. I really need to try them out since my hands are dry from the cold weather and hand washing!
DeleteThis box looks so amazing!
