This month’s Beauty Box 5 seemed a little disjointed to me. Not necessarily a bad thing, but usually they follow a “theme.” My box contained two of my must have beauty items, so that was great! Here’s a look at the November box, which is “Gracefully Grounded.”

Afterfeather refillable travel bottle 2oz - this TSA approved plastic bottle has a cute floral print, and will no doubt be used! retail: $8.95 for a set of 2 bottles.

DenTek Floss picks and case - We all know we should floss daily, and maybe this handy case will help us remember! retail: $2.49 4 count.

HASK Macadamia Revitalizing Shine Oil for hair - I always rave about HASK here on daydreaming beauty! They are one of my most favorite hair care brands. They have fabulous and nourishing ingredients at a great value. retail: $2.99 5/8oz vial.

Laura Ashley body butter - I received Sweet Peony which is a loud floral. A little too loud for me, so I’ll be passing this along to someone who will appreciate it. retail: $20 for a set of 6 1.75oz jars.

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash - I love Dove’s body washes. All of the variations they have are super! My favorites are the Pistachio Cream and the Winter Care. retails: $6.49 22oz

Also in this month’s box, there was a coupon for $1 off any DenTek product and a 30% off code to Sparkles and Pop online costume jewelry and accessories store.

Beauty Box Five October 2014

This month’s Beauty Box 5 was a hit! The theme for October is “Effortless Allure.” Sounds like it’s right up my alley!

Here’s what’s included in the Beauty Box Five October subscription:

Chapstick Hydration Lock - This double ended wonder balm contains two conditioning formulas to keep your pout protected. The renew side will revitalize your lips with natural butters and is scented with a botanical medley. The moisturize side will keep lips moist and young looking. This side is scented with vanilla.

Bellapierre Cosmetics - Cheek and Lip Stain in Pink - This gorgeous pink is flattering on most skin tones! Use your fingers to apply to lips or dab on cheeks for a fresh flush.

Extend Your Beauty - Cosmetic Tool - This teeny spatula will let you scrape the last of your beauty products out of bottles. This is fabulous, and I was SO happy to see this! It’s a huge pet peeve of mine to have a beauty product that has too much left in it and you can’t get it out. (I’m looking at you EOS shave cream!!) This is dishwasher safe, and reuseable.

Nanacoco Nail Polish in Mermaid Lake - Pretty teal nail lacquer with metallic silver sheen. Love this shade!

Lashem - Picture Perfect - This nourishing serum reduces fine lines for a gorgeous glow when applied after cleansing. It can also be used as a smoothing pre-makeup primer.

I haven’t opened the tube of Picture Perfect yet. I got the same kind of tube (different product) in last month’s box and it exploded all over me when I opened it lol. SO, I am nervous to open it! I’m a huge fan of Chapstick, and lip balm in general. I can always use another tube! I really love the pretty pink shade of the Bellapierre cheek and lip stain. The nail polish is gorgeous, and will be going to my Mom who loves all things teal! Did you get this month’s box? What did you think?

You can get a box for $12 for one month, $30 for three months, or $99 for a year. Please click my affiliate link below to subscribe, and THANKS!!

Beauty Box FIve September 2014

Another month, another Beauty Box Five! I am very pleased with my selection of products in this month’s box! The theme is “balancing act.” Sounds like they know me pretty well! Anyone else still struggling to balance daily life now that the kids are back in school? I thought it would be soooooo great having a quiet house to “get so much blog work done” every day! #FAMOUSLASTWORDS

It sounds nice, but it’s not realistic! I can’t get back into the school year groove. Life keeps throwing me curve balls(hello stress!), so my little box of beauty came just in time.
Here’s what I got this month:
Nicka K New York Eyelight Crayon - this creamy eyeshadow stick glides on easily and adds a pigmented pop of color that lasts! I received this in Bronze, which is exactly the color I hoped for! Well, that or purple. These smooth metallic liners are just gorgeous, easy to use and super long wearing. I love this shade. The bronze is light, I’d consider it a coppery bronze. Perfect for blue eyes!

Natural Style by FUBU Deep Conditioner and Co-Wash - Equipped with 8 repairing oils and shea butter, this treatment strengthens hair to minimize frizz. Made without sulfates or parabens, it’s gentle enough to use as a co-wash for curly haired girls, or a deep conditioner after shampooing for all hair types. I love me a good deep conditioner, and I’m getting back into co-washing occasionally.

Sally Hansen Toe Spacers - When it comes to no nonsense nails, our girl Sally never disappoints! Cushion your toes and separate them with these adorably printed toe spacers to keep your diy pedicure looking professional and smudge free. You can never have too many of these little pedicure helpers, that make all the difference!

My Beauty Spot Nail Polish - We love these pretty polishes for their incredible bold colors! The thick formula glides on smooth plus, it dries quickly, which means we can change our manis as frequently as we change our mood! I haven’t tried this gorgeous burgundy metallic shimmer polish yet. I love the color!

Chrislie Formulations 3-in-1 Eye Bright - Wake up bright-eyed, n o matter how late you stayed up watching one more episode of your favorite show. When used overnight, this serum makes the delicate area around your eyes smoother, brighter, and firmer, reducing dark circles and rejuvenating skin. I haven’t tried this yet, but Chrislie Formulations makes some great products, so I’m looking forward to giving this a try. Anything to help me look more awake and less zombie like!
