Beauty Box 5 - FEB 2014

Here is my review for the Beauty Box 5 for February 2014.  I really enjoyed some of the items in this month's box.

This coupon came in the box for $10 off your order from MyNameNecklace.com.

This is the front of the card that tells the products inside the box.  February is the birthday month for Beauty Box 5.  They started only a few years ago, in 2011 and have become very popular.

When you open the card, here are the products inside the Beauty Box 5 for February 2014 that I will be reviewing.

ROCKSTAR NAILS:  There is a bright pink nail color and pink caviar beads.  There was no name for the colors of these items.  I am not a pink lover, but these are a great addition to my polish collection.  Below, you can see how it will look on the nail plain, and with the caviar beads.  To apply the beads, paint one or two coats of polish.  When it is almost dry, sprinkle the beads on the nail.  Do this over a piece of paper so that you can fold it and put any extra beads back into the bottle.  You can then add a top coat.  The picture is shown without top coat.  The smell of the polish is like that of a permanent marker.

JOHN FRIEDA LUXURIOUS VOLUME:  There are 2 samples of this in the box.  There is a shampoo and conditioner.  This is great for color-treated hair and gives hair touchable volume and fullness.  I have not used this product yet.  I have using John Frieda items, such as the Frizz Control hair spray and serum.   I love them both.  I will report back on these items.   Each packet has a $2 coupon towards the purchase of any John Frieda Luxurious Volume styling product.

H2O PLUS SPA Hand and Nail Cream:  I like the rich cream.  It has a light fragrance.  This lotion absorbs quickly without being greasing at all.  Keep this in your purse, car or desk so that you have something when you hands get dry and to keep cuticles hydrated.

ELIZABETH MOTT It's So Big Volumizing Mascara:  I really like this mascara.  I can see fullness and volume when I use it on my lashes.  The formula is thin and fluid.  Just wipe some off on the top and apply.  I found that it did not cause clumping.  It did separate the lashes well and did not leave a heavy feeling on my lashes.  It was very light, which I really like.  I don't like mascara with weight, so that when you blink you can feel the weight and makes you top and bottom lashes stick together or pull on each other when you blink.  This mascara stays on all day and takes a bit of time to remove.  I use a face wipe.  I am going to look into purchasing a regular size bottle when I am done with this sample size.  Below you can see the hourglass brush.

Beauty Box 5 - JAN 2014

I am late putting this out.  January has been a very busy month for me so I apologize for the delay.  Here is my Beauty Box 5 review for January 2014.

H2O Plus Spa Sea Lotus Body Wash:  I have not used this product yet but I love the smell.  I smells very fresh and clean.  It is a travel size, great to put in your overnight bag or a weekend trip or in you gym bag for a trip to the gym or spa.  I will report back later on how it works.  There was another H2O product in a Beauty Box 5 a few months ago.  It was a moisturizer that I have been using and like very much. 

NUBAR Cuticle & Nail Oil:  I love cuticle oil and this one is no different.  It has a light scent of passionfruit.  It is not really greasy and it does hydrate the cuticles nicely.  This products works as well as any other cuticle oil.  Nothing special about it than any other cuticle oil I have tried.

SWISSCO Bath & Shower Exfoliating Gloves:  I have not used these as of yet but will report back on how they work.  These gloves stretch to fit any size hand.  They are rough to help remove dead skin and polish and help to exfoliate. 

JERGENS Daily Moisture Lotion:  Nothing special about this product.  Jergens has been around for ages.  I have always loves their products.  This is a small sample of the Daily Moisture Dry Skin lotion.  I have been keeping this in my purse.  I works great, especially this time of year when the cold can dry out your skin.

EPIC BLEND Hemp Coconut Lip Balm:  I will be using this product soon.  I use quite a bit of lip balm, all year round.  I don't particularly like lip gloss or lip stick.  I will use them occasionally but I mostly use lip balms to keep my lip moist.  This lip balm smells like coconut.  I will leave a better review once I start using it, which will be soon.  I have been using Carmex right now with the harsh winter we are having, but will try this to see how it stands up to other lip balms I have and have used.

*BONUS PRODUCT* That Awkward Moment Mirror Compact:  This is great item to have.  It is a compact mirror that is plastic.  You can keep this in your purse, desk, car or overnight bag.  The plastic means it is sturdy so you don't have to work so much about breaking it.  I like to have a small mirror on hand, especially at work on in the car.  This is a promo item for the movie That Awkward Moment coming out January 31, 2014.  I know this review is late, but check out the trailer at  thtawkwardmomentmovie.tumbler.com.

I hope you enjoyed this review.  I will have more info later on items have not tried.  I am running late putting this out.  I will be getting my Beauty Box 5 for February soon.  I will try not to delay that review.  I appreciate your time and check out the video below for more info.  Thanks for reading and watching.
