Beauty Box 5: August 2014

This month the theme is: Radiant and Remarkable.

Product details are included on the back (complete with correct company hashtags):

First look:

Pür-lisse

Pūr~Protect SPF 30

Sample size: 0.5 oz (Full size: $55)

"Shield your skin and soak up some rays, without guilt or greasiness! This lightweight moisturizer has the perfect amount of SPF to protect your pretty face and want upset sensative complexions--bring on the sunshine!"

I like moisturizers, and I like this brand, but I am going to try and swap with my friend for a Keims Shampoo she got in her Birchbox.

LA Fresh

Travel Lite Makeup Remover Wipes

Sample size: 8 wipes (Full size: $19.99 for 48 packets)

"We love to pile on the products, but when it's got to go, there's no need for a delay! These wipes take away all out favorite makeup fast-even waterproof formulas!-without irritating our faces or leaving any residue behind. Ahh-quick, easy, and refreshed."

I like this brand, but I have a number of face wipes right now so this will be off to the swap shop.

Nanacoco

Lip Gloss - Mysterious

Full size sample! Sample size: 0.22 fl oz  (Full size: $3.99)

"Your lips deserve a rush of color and shine with no stickiness attached! We adore Nanacoco's gloss because it's packed full of pigments and vitamin E to keep your sassy pout poppin' and nourished at the same time."

Love lip gloss, and love this color! I haven't applied it yet, but I'm hoping it isn't too sticky.

Novex

Brazilian Keratin

Sample Size: 1.05 oz (Full size: $19.50 for 2lbs)

"Is your mane hungry for nourishment? This intensive treatment works on all hair types, so you can renew and reinforce your strands right away. BB5 tip: massage this into your tresses post-shampoo, leave in for 25 minutes, then rinse for smoothness and shine."

Um, 2 pounds?! That is a lot of hair treatment! I'm torn on whether to keep this one or swap it. I have a lot of hair products to sample right now.

Style Essentials

Nail Polish - Teal

Full size sample! Sample size: 0.25 fl oz (Full size: $7 for 4 polish set)

"Bored with plain polish?" Wave hello to shiny, exciting nails! This lavish lacquer adds a pretty dash of color and fun finish to your digits, and the easy-to-apply brush makes switching to a new hue simple."

This polish is available as part of a set called A Touch of Teal. I love the color and plan to put to use it in a pedi soon.

Summary: another good box! I like the mix of products, I just wish the brands were a bit more high end. Some of them don't seem to even be at a drugstore level.
