Beauty Box 5 - April box

Hello, Fireflies!

Ready to check out April's Beauty Box 5?

April's theme was 'Shades of Beauty' - taking time to make yourself look and feel beautiful.

Makes you feel like it should come with meditation instruction and a CD of world music, right?

The closest thing to incense, though, in the box was the Blum cleansing cloths.

I love peppermint oil and peppermint oil-scented things.  I haven't tried these yet.. I'll be honest with you.  I'm a little leery of something that says it's safe to use on babies, and is non-irritating, but also has peppermint oil and to avoid getting it in your eyes. Can I use it to remove eye makeup or not? If anyone has used these and can put my mind at ease, I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

One thing I did try was the lippie duo - Bonnie Bell lip pencil in Apple Cider, and Nikka K lipstick in Daring.

These are interesting colors - alllllmost red.  It looks like red to me, but my husband says it's pink.  The lip pencil was okay - I rarely wear lip pencils.  I don't like that dry, tugging sensation on my lips, and this one does that, though it's not hard or rough.  The lipstick was nice and glossy, and it stayed put while I drank a soda without a straw.

The last products in the box I haven't tried.  I received this California Collection from BH Cosmetics in another sub box already, and it bums me out to get the same colors.  I'll probably find a new home for it.  The Jergens Natural Glow is in one of those silly packets, and I rarely use those.  I haven't ruled it out completely, though.  It would be nice to get a little color on my pasty legs.
