Beautybox 5 May 2015 | Unveiling and Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Each month BB5 creates a theme-based box, and the theme for May is products that lend themselves to "Super Outstanding Skin." From a delectably scented liquid hand soap, to a lovely moisturizer, to a lovely cream blush, and they even included two beauty tools.

1) Bio Swiss Stainless Steel Mini Tweezer ($4.99) #bioswiss

These Red Bio Swiss 2-1/4" long tweezers come with included red end-capped transparent carry tube. The precision-aligned slant head tweezer tips are constructed of quality stainless steel. This discreet mini size is a perfect on-the-go tool with matching carry tube.

The size is perfect to carry in your makeup bag just in case you need to fix your brows when you are out and about.

2) Essenza Luxury Hand Soap in French Lavender (2 oz. Deluxe Sample) #essenza

ESSENZA’s French Lavender fragrance includes a top note of green fresh lavender, a middle note blend of light sweet florals, and a base note of subtle earthy wood. What are notes? In the fine fragrance industry, “notes” are fragrances that we sense over time once a perfume is applied. Top (head) notes are perceived immediately, and tend to evaporate quickly. Middle (heart) notes are the main body of a perfume, perceived as the top notes dissipate. Then finally, we perceive base notes as the main theme of a perfume, usually after the evaporation of the middle notes.

This is a delectable smelling hand soap that I really look forward to using.

3) Styli-Style Glide-On Blush/Highlighter Stick in Bittersweet (Brown/Pink) ($6.49 Full Size) #stylistyle

Traditional blush a little scary? Avoid clown cheeks with our 100% product control blush stick that deposits a light sheen of color that blends in easily into the skin. Keep sweeping the stick across your cheeks to build your custom color.

This is a very buildable and highly pigmented cream blush that applies smoothly and evenly.  Bittersweet is a muted pinky brown,

4) Coastal Scents Classic/Synthetic Brush ($1.95-$2.49) #coastalscents

The Classic Shade and Fluff Medium is ideal for shading and blending like a professional. The soft, oval shaped, synthetic bristles allow you to soften the look of powder or cream shadows by blending harsh lines.

The synthetic bristles are very soft, and feel wonderful against the skin. This is a great choice for laying down color and blending.
