My August Beauty Box 5 is here! The theme of this month’s box is “Radiant and Remarkable” focusing on beauty products for healthy hair, a moisturized complexion, dazzling lips, and a pop of shimmer for fingers & toes to help carry your carefree attitude well into the fall!
Here’s what I got in the August box –
1. pur~lisse pur~protect SPF 30 (deluxe sample): This is a lightweight, everyday moisturizer with SPF. The formula soaks in quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy sheen. Although it’s pretty good, I am not really interested in the full size (which is actually pretty expensive at $55) as it’s a chemical sunscreen based product and I prefer mineral sunscreens (or something with a mix of both)
2. LA Fresh Travel Lite Oil-Free Makeup Remover Wipes (8 wipes, value $2.50): Makeup removing wipes are definitely handy and these will be used but they are not something I was excited to see in the box.
3. Nanacoco Lip Gloss in Secret Crush (Full size, value $3.99) : This is a shiny, peachy-nude lipgloss. The formula is a bit sticky but wears comfortably and lasts really well! it has a sweet scent that fades quickly. Being a fan of nude lipglosses, I like the shade. It’s too light for my lips to add any color but it’s super shiny!
4. Style Essentials Nail Polish : This nail polish doesn’t have a shade name listed on the bottle, but it’s a bright and vibrant green. It’s not really the type of color I would normally choose but will probably give it a try.
5. Novex Brazilian Keratin Treatment (Sample size) : This is a deep conditioning keratin treatment that you apply to clean, damp hair after shampooing, leave in for 25 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. I haven’t tried this one out yet but it does sound like a moisturizing treat for dry, frizzy hair like mine!
Overall, this was a nice box with some useful products but nothing too exciting. I will be using up all of them except for the nail polish. The total value of the box was about $25 which is pretty good considering the $12 cost of the box.
