Well ladies and gents, it's that time again for our annual Black History Month.... let's do a Fun Trivia!!

Today's QUESTION is:

Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh scoop of ice cream on a hot day? This gentleman invented the ice cream scoop making it easier for people everywhere to enjoy their favorite treat. He studied at a seminary, worked as carpenter and then became interested in mechanics. He was first black man to receive a patent in Pittsburgh.

Who was he?

GOOD LUCK and hurry, this ends TODAY at 11:59 PM (EST)

Subscription Review: Beauty Box 5

(Affiliate links included)

Hello everyone and welcome back!!! 

We are starting this week by talking about something new.  "Beauty Box 5".

Beauty Box 5 is  a subscription based service that provides you with five (5) deluxe samples and some full size products to your door every month.  

 Beauty Box 5's goal is to introduce their monthly subscribers to new and great products while sharing tips on the best way to use them.  

Every month you will receive a mix of make up, beauty accessories, hair, skincare, fragrance, body and nail products.  

Beauty Box 5 offers free shipping on all their subscriptions (US ONLY). 

This month's Beauty Box 5 contained the following products:

(Travel Size) Rave 4X Mega Unscented Hairspray:  

This is an 1.5 oz bottle that is actually considered a "BONUS" item in this month's since it was not part of the "Five Item Description Card".  But travel size items are always welcome in my bag and in Bree's dance bag.  

I used it on my hair this morning and so far it has kept my hair free of any frizz.  Also, my hair did not get that "crunchy" or "sticky" feeling. 

Next, we have Olive Natural Beauty Elixir:  this is a 1 oz bottle.  (2 oz bottle retails for $37.00).   All natural essential oil that can be used together  with your daily skin lotion or you can apply it directly to your skin after a good cleansing.  

  

Now, VO5 Hot Oil Therapy Treatment really doesn't need any introduction or explanation... we all love a good hot oil treatment and I often use it on my son's hair (more than on Ms bree's hair).

My mother used it on my hair when was a little girl and now I use it on my kids.   

Nika Exfoliating Brush:  It's the cutest and softest brush I have every touched.  The retail price of this brush is $17.00 and you simply use it with you favorite face wash in a circular motion over your face and neck in order to achieve beautiful skin. 

This month's Beauty Box 5 can't be "Spa Day" theme without having Spa Day Hair Ties by Did Hair.  Let's be honest, there is no such thing as "enough hair bands".  These bands have no metal that can pull your hair and I just love the cute designs on them.  These ties retail price is $6.50.

And the last item in this month's Beauty Box 5 is Retinol Spa Treatment Mask (Retail price of $7.50).  The retinol is an ingredient that reduces expression lines and wrinkle while boosting cell renewal.  

Every item in this month's Beauty Box 5 will be used ... I don't anticipate any of them going to waste. The value of this month's box is approximately $51.59 and this price does not include the bonus item.  

Beauty Box 5 monthly subscription is only $12.00 (no shipping on all beauty boxes)!  Of course, they also offer other options like $30.00 for 3 months and $99.00 for 12 months.

Overall, I'm really impressed with these items! 

I will be reviewing each item separately so stay tuned for those reviews!!! 

Beauty Box 5 loves new subscribers, all new subscriber will receive FREE Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow with their first box!!  (This offer has been extended until the end of September 2016).   Click here to get your FREE EYESHADOW WITH YOUR FIRST BOX.

Gold Medal by Sinful Colors Professional

If you follow our blog or any of our social channels, then you already know how much I love the nail polishes from Sinful Colors Professional line... specially the $1.99 price! (sometimes I can find them for even less than that!)

This week's color is "Gold Medal".  

GOLD MEDAL #1397

This is a beautiful metallic color and I really like it!  It is definitely a fun color to wear but me personally, wouldn't wear every day.  Maybe for a special occasion like a party or a date night.  It would be perfect for any holiday event as well.

As you can see on the picture (above), a second coat is really not necessary but I highly recommend you apply a second coat in order to have an even finish.  (lessens the signs of the brushstrokes)

In my personal opinion, this is a keeper! 

I added a fun applique and a clear fast drying top coat to give it that extra shine!

"Thimbleberry" by Sinful Colors Professional

Welcome back my beauties!! 

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.  We are definitely staying busy around here with only 32 days left of school!!  

Baseball season ends on May 9th, Ms. Bree is having her recital on May 21st then our family vacation! I am looking forward to that time at the Beach!!!!

After the beautiful teal color nail polish from last week ("Savage"), today I'm bringing to you "Thimbleberry-108".  This is also by Sinful Colors Professional.  (I just love the $1.99 price on these nail polishes)

Thimbleberry is a prefect "spring color", it has that vibrant dark pink "coral" finish to it.  The more coats you apply, the brighter the final color is.

One of our loyal readers commented on our Facebook page: "Gina H-S" I have this one!! It works on all skin tones!! It's my go to spring/summer color!

Thimbleberry is a prefect "spring color", it has that vibrant dark pink "coral" finish to it.  The more coats you apply, the brighter the final color will be.  

It also has a shiny look to it once it's completely dried but I always recommend the use of a base and top coat.  In my opinion, using a base coat gives the nail polish an even look and the top coat will allow the nail polish last longer.

Another of our loyal readers commented on our Facebook page: Christeena C-M W: My son picked that exact color out for me <3.

I personally love this color! Share your thoughts?
