Beauty Box 5 - July 2015 - Summer Night Out

Beauty Box 5 decided to stick with the summer theme for their July beauty box.


OFRA Cosmetics - lip gloss in Golden Rose
*Full size* 27 fl oz/ 8g   value: $13

OFRA Cosmetics - lip liner in Glacial Pink
*Full size* 0.04 oz   value: $13
This lip gloss has a soft creamy formula that easily glides along your lips. I'm loving the light pink shade and it has a hint of shimmer. The gloss contains natural sun filters and can be used alone or over lipstick.

This light pink shade of lip liner pairs perfectly with the OFRA lip gloss in this box. The formula is water resistant and is created with a synthetic beeswax base. It goes on smooth and soft for long-lasting coverage.


Nanacoco - nail polish in Dazzle Purple
*Full size* 0.54 fl oz/ 16ml   value: $3
This purple nail polish hue is quite dazzling. The brand is a bit inexpensive, but I'm liking the color. Put on two coats to give your nails a pop of bold color.


Love Life Skin - Recovery serum & night cream
2 ml/ 0.06 fl oz each   value: $2
The recovery serum heals dry and delicate skin. It is infused with green tea, pomegranate and resveratrol to protect skin against damage. The night cream soothes and replenishes your dry skin while you sleep.


Pur~lisse - Flash tattoos
value: $9
Flash temporary tattoos, how fun! These gold and silver metallic tattoos seem to be a top trend this summer. Apply the tattoo for a fun addition to your summer garb.


The July Beauty Box 5 has a total value of $40. I loved receiving the gloss/liner duo in complementary shades. The tattoos are a fun item that I would not normally purchase for myself. Overall, I am happy with this month's box and it certainly has me loving the summertime!!

IPSY - July 2015 - Summer Lovin'

Summer is going strong and the July IPSY glambag is designed to help all of us enjoy the season even more!
This month's bag is a splash of colors and super cute!!


Nudestix - magnetic eye color in Gilt
*Full size* 0.10 oz/ 2.8g   value: $24
What an awesome full size item to receive! This is a long-wearing, waterproof eye shadow that spotlight your face with it's shimmery gold color. The pencil is soft and ultra-gliding great for creating an easy-to-blend look. The pencil comes with a sharpener on one end.


Crown Brush - tweezers
*Full size* value: $10.50
Are tweezers a frequent in beauty boxes? I guess I can always keep them stored in case. These are nice, black tweezers adorned with an adorable little crown (CROWN brush).


City Color Cosmetics - HD powder
0.141oz / 4g    value: $3.50
Now one wants an overly shiny face and this powder gives you a soft, matte finish. It is 100% silica powder that evens out fine lines, imperfections and pores.


Jor'el Parker - Classico fragrance mini roller
8.8ml   value: $21
This fragrance is described as the scent that takes you away. It opens your mind and awakens your senses. I enjoy the roller for easy application throughout the day.


Pur~lisse - Pur-bright ultra skin brightening serum
10ml/ 0.34 oz   value: $25
The first thing I thought was "wow this is an expensive product". I guess that is true of all quality facial serums. It brightens and evens your skin tone without the use of harsh ingredients. Apply the serum to freshly cleansed face and neck day or night.


My July glambag comes in at a total of $84. WOW!!! This month had many high value items. I'm loving everything in the bag this month.
