Beauty Box Five December 2016 | Unveiling and Review #BB5

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Each month BB5 curates a theme-based beauty box that features five products that range from full-size to samples. The December box is all about the holiday festivities and providing you with a few products to help you get ready to celebrate.

The Contents:

Jelly Pong Pong Liquid Gossamer (Full Size. Retail Value $22.95): This is an absolutely gorgeous luminizer, and I look forward to wearing all throughout this holiday season! #JELLYPONGPONG #LIQUIDGOSSAMER

According to Jelly Pong Pong,

A lightweight, water-based luminizer that gives skin instant radiance while keeping it moisturized at the same time. Formulated with ultra-fine, light-refracting coated mica pigments in a sheer, soft cream that gives your skin an ethereal, youthful-looking glow. Usage : Dot onto your cheekbones, browbones, down the middle of your nose and anywhere you want a soft light. Blend with fingers or brush. 

Neutrogena Rainbath Shower and Bath Gel (1 oz. Sample): I haven't used this shower and bath gel in years, but I used to buy it all of the time! I really look forward to using this during my holiday travels! #NEUTROGENA

According to Neutrogena,

Rainbath Shower and Bath Gel cleanses, softens and conditions skin. Its unique fragrance of spices, fruits and herbs provides a clean, fresh burst that awakens your senses and refreshes your entire body. A rich, conditioning lather leaves skin in better condition.This special formula rinses clean, without any heavy residue.

Amlactin Cerapeutic Alpha-Hydrody Ceramide Therapy Restoring Body Lotion (2 oz. Travel Size $2.99): I love Amlactin lotions and creams, and am always impressed by the extent to which they exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal smooth, soft skin. In my travel bag this handy size goes! #Amlactin

According to Amlactin,

Instantly transform your skin with this unique moisturizer. It’s the only formula to combine clinically proven, patented ULTRAPLEX and three essential ceramides to relieve extreme dryness for 24 hours. Uncover visibly soft, silky, youthful-looking skin. 

Professional Freezing Finish Spray (Deluxe Travel Size $3.00): I don't generally use hair sprays, but when I do, the formula can't leave hair stiff or unnatural looking. I will likely give this a try over the holidays.

According to DeMert,

This fast-drying, salon inspired, waterless formula never looks stiff or feels tacky. So, lock in your look with enviable confidence. Be empowered by your style, not controlled by it. #ProfessionalHairspray

Hikari Lip Gloss in Salsa (Full Size $13.00): This is a gorgeous highly pigmented and fully opaque lip gloss with a lovely sheen. Salsa– described as a "Classic Red"– is a stunning tomato red that is holiday perfect! #HikariCosmetics

According to Hikari,

With our high pigment lip glosses you can wear them alone or layer them over your favorite lipstick to create intense new colors. They will give you the perfect sultry lip with just the right amount of shine!

 Top to Bottom: Jelly Pong Pong Liquid Gossamer and Hikari Lip Gloss in Salsa

Overall Assessment: The December BB5 box is definitely a good value, and it's worth more than the $12.00 cost of admission. The Jelly Pong Pong Liquid Gossamer and Hikari Lip Gloss in Salsa are the definite highlights for me, but everything is perfect for travel during the holidays!
