Beautybox 5 March 2014 Review

 Press Sample (Unaffiliated links)

I have yet to be disappointed by Beautybox 5, but I have to say that I may love the March box more than all of the others! It contains products that celebrate the coming of spring, and that puts me in a fantastic mood! As you see from the card in the box- the March box emphasizes renewal. Out with what is old and didn't work, and in with the new that will! It's all about cleaning, exfoliating, moisturizing, and perfecting.

 This box contains:

1) Jane's Pick All Natural Handmade Soap (Deluxe sample. Retail $8.00 for 5 oz.): "Jane’s Pick soaps are meticulously blended with all-natural herbs and flowers into fragrant oils. After cooling and setting, this mouthwatering soap is sliced into hearty chunks for your use."

I received a deluxe sample of Peace (Lavender and Litsea), and it is a delectable smelling concoction that I can barely wait to use in the shower. BB5 suggests lathering it up and using to shave, and I plan on doing precisely that!

Ever the prince of herbs, Lavender is as relaxing as it is luxurious. Made from a unique, yet simple touch of pure essential oil, Litsea, this soap is great for sensitive skin and will gently nurture the skin with the natural moisture level as it helps you with relaxing and calming touch.

Ingredients: Italian Olive Oil, Senegal Shea Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Avocado Oil and essential oils.

3) Bellapierre Cosmetics Makeup Base (0.25 oz. sample. Retail $18.99 for 0.29 oz.): According to Bellapierre, "This wonderful product helps transform all of our shimmer powders, from shimmery to matte; it also provides a water proof base for any of our pigments. Some clients also choose to use our makeup base as a Concealer for blemishes and impurities that are more difficult to cover with makeup. Apply makeup base with a clean finger all over the eye where you plan to apply the shimmer. Using the eye shadow brush apply the powder as normal to create a matte look as opposed to shimmer. The Mineral Make Up base will hold the shimmer powder even longer and is a great correction tool if you get a little messy!"

This makeup base has a lovely creamy consistency that effortlessly glides across the skin. I am currently experimenting with it, but already like it as a concealer! I am very excited about this makeup base!

5) Swissco Dual-sided Facial Pad (Retail $2.00 one size): "This Swissco Loofah & Terry Facial Pad cleans and revitalizes the skin. It is highly effective in stimulating blood circulation. It gently exfoliates unwanted dead skin cells on your face. Enjoy a refreshing and stimulating bath or shower massage! For use with your favorite soap! After use, rinse and let dry."

This Dual-Sided Facial Pad is so cool! I thoroughly soaked it warm water before using the loofah side on my face, but when used very gently the effects are amazing. The terry side is super gentle and can be used all over the face without incident. Those who have more sensitive skin might prefer using the loofah side for spot treating rather than on the whole face. The small size also makes it perfect for throwing in an overnight bag while traveling.
