Here are the items I received in the December Beauty Box 5. I have been getting these for a few months and this box I am VERY happy with. I hope to get more products like these, that I can get use from. Enjoy.

OFRA Cosmetics Sulty Lipgloss Plumper: This is lovely color that can flatter any skin tone. It looks dark in the tube, but it goes on sheer with a hint of color . It says that it has a mint flavor, but I did not find that there was any flavor to it. The mint must be very light. I like light glosses and this is not heavy or sticky. It feels like lip balm, very smooth. It has the slanted tip for easy application or you can just squeeze some out and apply with your finger or a lip brush. I really like this product.

BODY DRENCH Daily Moisturizing Lotion: This is a wonderful lotion that you can use all over. I have been using it on my hands and face. I keep it on my desk to use after I do my nails. It really hydrates and moisturizes. I also use it on my face after I wash my face. It has not caused any breakouts and it absorbs quickly and without feeling greasy. The smell it suppose to be aromatherapy but I think it smells like a bar of soap. I love the clean smell and I love this product.

CLEAN & CLEAR Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer: This is known as one of the best moisturizers on the market and I can see why. This lightweight gel is a powerhouse. It has a bright citrus fragrance and goes on without being greasy. I use this before I apply my makeup, around my eyes and on the lids and around my nose. I also apply it all over my face too, but I concentrate it more in those areas. I will be re-purchasing this when I have used it up. A little goes a long way, so it is worth the price. A regular size costs about $7. It will last you for a long time. I agree that is a great moisturizer.

EVERY BEAUTY Flexible Foot Smoother: This product can be used on feet, elbows and knees to help remove rough, dry skin. I have not used this yet but will be trying it. I will let you know later how I rate the usage. The package states that it is soft and flexible....it IS NOT. It is very hard. I wet it to see if it would soften up but it did not. It conforms to your hand to help with gripping but this product is not soft. One side is coarse and the other side is fine. The middle is a sponge, but it is hard. I hope it performs better as a products to remove coarse and dry skin.
December 29, 2013: I tried the foot smoother today and I get a bit softer when wet. It is flexible and easy to use in the shower but I still find it a bit hard. It does conform to your hand a lot easier when it is wet. I saw a difference after using it. It did remove the rough skin very well. I don't think I would re-purchase but it did work well.

NYX Cosmetics Love in Rio Eyeshadow Palette: I was SO EXCITED to see a FULL SIZE NYX eyeshadow palette in this Beauty Box. I have a few NYX shadows that I purchased on Ebay and I really like them. This palette is gorgeous. The colors are just bit shimmery but not glittery. The pigmentation is AWESOME. I use eyeshadow primer (e.l.f sheer primer $1) which makes these last all day with no creasing or flaking or smudging. The charcoal is deep beautiful, the cranberry is lovely too and the champagne color is great for a lip color or every the brow bone. I used the cranberry color to re-produce a video by Sharon Farrell for one of her holiday looks and it worked perfectly. Check out her video for this look. I have added it below. I love NYX shadow and will be making many more purchases from this brand.
