Beauty Box 5 January and February 2017 | Unveiling and Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Each month BB5 curates a theme-based beauty box that features five products that range from full-size to samples. In this feature I will unveil the contents of their January and February 2017 boxes. This is the first time that I have done this, and I will tell you why...I have a brand new mailman who generally delivers my mail to who knows where, and it is often days or weeks later that a neighbor will show up with a some of my mail. Accordingly, one of my neighbors seemed to have received my January box, and it appeared on my porch around the same time that my February box appeared. Therefore, I thought that I would unveil them simultaneously.

The January Box theme and contents:

So Susan Light Diffuser (Full Size. $18.00): With the delectable scent of cocoa and coconut, this duo gives you a perfect contoured and highlighted look. Apply the contour shade on the hollows of your cheeks, while placing the illuminator over cheekbones, temples and nose. #SOSUSANCOSMETICS

Each month, BB5 curates a theme-based beauty box, and I have to say that their April box was probably my favorite one to date. The theme, "Take a Hydration Vacation", is perfect for the season, and I will use every single item in the box!
