This is my first Beauty Box 5 and I like what I got! The theme for the December 2013 Beauty Box 5 is Naughty and Nice.
Let’s check out the goodies now…..
Body Drench Daily Moisturizing Lotion – Infused with a blend of natural emollients, this is a fast-absorbing lotion that moisturizes well without being greasy. It has a sweet, tropical scent that’s nice! The 2 oz sample size is pretty good and is perfect to tuck in your handbag for on-the-go hydration.
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer – This is a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that promises to provide ‘a touch of moisture’ and won’t clog pores. The formula soaks in quickly but I didn’t find it moisturizing enough for my dry skin. This one is definitely more suitable for the oily skin types.
Ofra Cosmetics Sultry Lipgloss Plumper – Winter is the perfect time for vampy, dark lips and this sultry lipgloss is just perfect for that! I love how pigmented it is and also provides fullness to your pucker with a slight minty flavor and a touch of plumper – without the stinging! It’s full sized (retail $$12.95) and definitely my favorite item in the box!

NYX Cosmetics Love in Rio Eyeshadow Palette in Sway With Lola (retail $6) – That’s a nice colorful palette! The color payoff of the eyeshadows is not excellent but good enough with an eyeshadow primer underneath.
Every Beauty Flexible Foot Smoother (retail $4.99) – ‘Tis the season of dry skin and my feet definitely need a bit of pampering at this time of the year! This foot scrubber can be used dry to briskly rub away rough spots or you can go spa-style and soak your feet in warm water for 15 minutes beforehand. I find it much better than a regular pumice stone and it’s also reusable. Good stuff!
Overall, count me impressed with this box! What do you think? Have you tried Beauty Box 5?
wow this box looks fun – I think I may check it out. thanks
