The August BB5 box is truly one of the very best that I have seen. The lip gloss and eyeshadow palette pairs perfectly with the liquid eyeliner, and who doesn't need another great nail file! Add to that a deep conditioner for your hair and a nice anti-aging moisturizer and you have just about everything that you need to glam and go!

What a fabulous box! I can't believe you got the Starlooks eyeliner pen in the gorgeous Plum shade! Thru ipsy, I got it in yet another black :( I adore the orange compact, but I thought the eyeshadows were bronzer, blush and highlight, lol! I just applied for beauty box 5 a few days ago, but haven't heard anything yet. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Allison! Between the eyeliner in plum and the palette– it's a really great value! The plum shade is definitely a lovely alternative to black, but I would have been happy to have received the black as well. I know what you mean about the shadows. I actually thought that they were a bronzer, highlighter and blush, and I suppose that you could use them that way as well. There was no product information from the line, but BB5 called them shadows on their product card. I hope that you are approved by BB5– I think that you will have fun with their monthly boxes!
DeleteLove the nail file - super cute!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Jen!
DeleteYou got a different palette than me, such pretty colors! Unfortunately my mirror fell out when I did my unboxing video on YT heheh. They are stepping up their game!
ReplyDeleteSo far I have seen three different palettes out there. That's kind of lame that your mirror fell out already! They definitely are stepping up their game!
DeleteThat little compact is adorable! Love!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is, Babi!
DeleteI'd be most happy with the eyeliner. That alone would be enough to make me happy that I bought it. The rest is great for travel though I'd probably keep the cute palette for a "stocking stuffer".
ReplyDeleteI know, and as cute as the palette is, the truth is that I will get more use out of the eyeliner!
DeleteEep! This is the most awesome box there is! <3
ReplyDeleteI definitely think that it is their best one yet! <3
DeleteI'm one of those weird people who absolutely *hate* lip glosses in eyeshadow palettes. I never use them! LOL. But otherwise that palette would have my eye for sure. Overall, though, this is a great value in this box!
ReplyDeleteI actually think that many many many people feel that way. There is that messy fact that powder kick back can end up landing right into the lip glosses or lipsticks when they are housed together in the same palette. The value is definitely amazing for this box, no question!
DeleteI agree with Jessica on the lip product/eye combo palettes - usually the lippies get so powdery. But, the shades look really pretty and I love that adorable nail file!
ReplyDeleteThat is always the problem. The one thing that I do to prevent too much powder kick back, in lip/eye palette combos, is tilt the palette on the side and swipe downward. That way the powder falls to the countertop rather than onto the lippies. It's certainly a little awkward, but it does help.
DeleteI wasn't a fan of that palette - Probably because the colors in mine were awful haha - But everything else is great!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you got awful colors! The eyeliner certainly is great!
DeleteThat palette is so cool! I used to use Hask hair oils all the time, what a great value box!
ReplyDeleteThe palette is so cute! Hask makes some really lovely products! I need to use that mask this weekend! It really is an amazing value for this box!
DeleteOhhh I was wondering what the other palette looked like! I love the colors! I'm surprised it also leans warm. I wonder if a cool toned version is floating around?
ReplyDeleteI actually saw one with a pink case and pink shadows and glosses. Iactually would have been super happy with that one. I would have used the shadows as blushes/highlighters!
DeleteThis box is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree– they really did a great job this month!
DeleteI love that Argan Oil mask, it's one of my faves. Definitely an interesting bunch of goodies in this BB5.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good selection this month! I love a good hair mask, and definitely need to use this one soon! I'm so glad to hear that you love this one– especially since you have curly hair as well!
DeleteThat palette is definitely cool!
ReplyDeleteI agree, and the packaging is super fun!
DeleteI love the selection! The nail file is perfection in the little case (I'm going to need one!)
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bailey! They definitely stepped up their game this month! The file is awesome, and it's definitely nice that it has its own case!
DeleteLooks like a decent box. Loving the nail file in the little case
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is! I love the nail file in the case as well! It's so handy to travel with too!
