lola's secret beauty blog: Beauty Box 5 December 2015

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Each month, Beauty Box 5 curates a theme-based beauty box, and the December 2015 edition features all full size products! Most of the time subscription boxes contain a mixture of full sizes and samples, but this month BB5 killed it by featuring only full sized products!

This month the BB5 theme is a wish that we have a smoky holiday season, and they have provided all that you need for a smoldering smoky eye!

Product Card

1) Ofra Shimmer Eye Shadow in Iron (Full Size | Retail $13.50): This is my first Ofra eye shadow, and I'm very impressed by the extent to which it is finely milled and ultra-pigmented. Iron is a gorgeous charcoal with shimmer, and it's gorgeous for a smoldering smoky eye, or smudged into the lash-line. #OFRA

Fabulous pressed powder eye shadows with strong pigment for a long lasting effect which can be applied with an eye shadow brush, wet or dry. This selection of eyeshadows have shimmer and possibly metallic look to them depending on how they are used. These eye shadows go great with our Matte Eye Shadow collection and complement each other well.

2) Beauty Box 5 Blender Brush (Full Size | Retail $10.00): This tapered blending brush has super soft bristles that feel wonderful against the skin, and it blends makeup perfectly.

3) Prestige Cosmetics Total Intensity Eyeliner in Deepest Black (Full Size | Retail $5.95): I have a large collection of Prestige Eyeliners, and just can't say enough good things about them. They are soft and creamy, but once they set they are absolutely budge-proof. It doesn't hurt that they are also very affordable! #totalintensity
