Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Each month BB5 curates a thematic beauty box, and January is devoted to caring for and adorning hair and nails.  Rather than adhering to the standard five products, they added a sixth this month.
Bodipure Keratin Gloves (Full Size. Retail $5.00): I am so excited to try this moisturizing hand, nail and cuticle treatment. My hands get so dry during the winter, and I suspect that these gloves will make them look and feel much more moisturized! #keratingloves

Formulated with 100% vegetable active ingredients derived from renewable sources. Nails will grow healthier and stronger while skin will feel unbelievably silky smooth. Slip into a soothing glove or sock, loaded with an intensive, healing emulsion to strengthen nails, moisturize hands, soften cuticles, and provide dramatically longer-lasting polish application. 

Benefits of Keratin :
  • Reinforces the protective outer layer – keeps skin healthy
  • Repairs existing damages
  • Protects your healthy skin, guarding against damaging heat, chemicals or friction
  • Increases skin elasticity
  • Increases skin hydration

  1. Those keratin gloves sound so intriguing! I like what I seem from BB5 because it's not the same stuff as in ipsy and Birchbox, it seems to focus on new and different.

  2. Not as exciting as some of the others but I'd be very interested in the hand mask too. And finding a nail polish in subscriptions is always happy news.

    1. I know what you mean. I definitely think it is a good mix of products, but I would have personally preferred something other than the hair styling products since I have so many things like that crowding my drawers and cabinets.
