Beauty Fix

[AngeBrooklyn]

Yes, I've been using it for the past few days since I've got some redness on my chin and around my nose.  I've been applying it with my flat foundation brush (using it like a big mineral powder concealer brush), and it really does seem to get rid of the red without looking heavily powdered.  I wasn't sure how the 3 colors would really blend, but I've been pretty happy with it so far.

I really hope she remembers.. My injury has caused a lot of very sudden changes in my life ( like  living with my former step mom until I am well enough to stay at home alone) and then my sweet dear old dog died this week despite all we and the vets could do. I really need a bit of kindness, I guess.

Thanks to all who have cared enough to post here, and thank you for suggesting that I contact them. Also, thanks to the people who have posted the referral discount codes.

Have a great weekend, everyone. I think I need a very long nap.

Laura

So sorry about your dog and your injury 

I hope you get the discount.

I tried it for the first time yesterday, and I am quite happy with it also. I have a lot of redness on my nose, forehead, and cheeks. It works very well on my forehead, pretty well on my nose, and just okay on my cheeks. Maybe I need to put more on my cheeks, but I hesitated since they start to look cakey very quickly. Overall, though, like AngeBrooklyn said, it's not too obvious that you're wearing powder, and it blends really well.

Can someone tell me exactly how to use this Stila ? I just got it, and have never used a product like this. Do I use one color at a time ? Or swirl them ? I am familiar with how greens neutralize reds, etc....having taken art classes in school.

I got my first box today...19.99 with the code BFBLOG.

What I got :

- Glytone acne cleanser (which came just in time, I got a pimple last night

- Nailtiques kit  - I swear I'm going to stop biting my nails , in spite of the enormous pleasure I derive from doing so.

- Nick Chavez Amazon Styling Clay

- Skindinavia Finishing Spray (VERY excited to try this, as we are in full sweat mode here )

- Beca resurfacing primer

- Exuviance rejuvinating masque

- Murad skin perfecting primer

Murad eye lift Perfector

- Stila set & correct powder

- train case makeup bag that I will give to DD

I am pretty happy.

I think you're supposed to grind the plastic cover and use all the colors together. I'm not really a big fan of that plastic cover thing, and have trouble getting the product out. I might just tear off the cover and  just swirl a brush over the actual product -____-

I just realized...they didn't send my make up bag. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Call them. They've left out my makeup bag before and they shipped the bag out super fast.

My BOX is in Memphis. Ask me if I have gotten the discount yet!

NO.

The charge still shows as pending too.. Strange and stranger.

 

[SimplyChelle xX]

I ordered my first box using the BFBLOGS code and got some pretty great stuff, especially for $20.00!!!! ​

Heres what I got along with my first impressions/brief thoughts on everything so far:​

Exuvience Rejuvenating Treatment Masque (2.5oz.)

    Used once so far and liked the "peeling" effect since I dont have any other peel off masks. It left my face feeling super smooth!

i Divine Eye Color - Darjeeling (0.06oz.)

     The ingredients listed 2 different parabens.....This sucks because it looks like such a pretty color and has a neat looking case.

Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray (4oz.)

     Very excited about this! Ive been loving my travel size UD DeSlick spray and am hoping this will be the same if not better!! Used once and still not sure how it compares.

Beautyfix Cylinder Bag (1piece)

     I think this bag is super cute and different! I love the little mirror that slides into the side!

Nailtiques Nail Moisturizer and Formula Kit  (4piece)

     Perfect timing for this kit as my nails have been peeling a lot lately! Especially loving the nail moisturizer over bare nails and the protien under polish!

Nick Chavez Horsetail Lifting Spray (8fl oz.)

     NOT A FAN OF THIS AT ALL Ive been using the Loreal EverStyle alcohol free root lifting spray and have gotten used to the non-sticky non-harispray-like feeling so I dont think I will be able to convert. If anyone wants this product I'd be happy to trade for something else from this seasons selection!!

Eminence Coconut Firming Body Lotion (8.4fl oz.)

    Probably my favorite product I received in mybox! LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell and I would never buy such an expensive lotion on my own so I feel like I am indulging every time I use this!

Stila Set and Correct Powder (0.16oz.)

     Have replaced my regular powder for this one for the past 3 days and have really been liking the results! Dosent look cakey or powdery and blends well.I also love the compact's mirror and twist feature.

Murad Hybrid Eye Lift Perfector and Hybrid Primer Perfector Matte (2piece)

     Used the face primer instead of my usual hourglass primer once so far and think I will have to use it a few more times before being able to tell if it compares at all. Same for the eye perfector. Just not sure how much I like these two yet.

**Overall, I was happy with this service but am not sure if Id want to pay $50 next time around although the value definitely speaks for itself.  ​

I may cancel and sign up using a different e-mail address to try and use the code again. Does anyone know if they​

keep track of credit card info and/or addresses or is it just the e-mail and password???​

Skindinavia is the same company that makes the Urban Decay setting sprays (if you look at your UD bottle, you'll probably see Skin Dinavia somewhere on the bottle).  It's the same formula/product, but Skin Dinavia does have more formula variations than the 4 they offered to Urban Decay.  So if you love your UD spray, you'll love this one too.

Nailtiques is one of the ONLY nail products where I've seen a considerable difference in my nails.  I've been a convert to them ever since I tried out a sample my friend gave me a few years ago.  They're expensive considering the price for a half bottle, so I was really happy to see the kit in the BF so I ordered one too, haha.

LOL the whole "I would have NEVER paid for this product retail price" luxury feeling is a HUGE reason why I love BeautyFix.  I get stuff I'm super excited about, then I get stuff that I'd never buy but it makes me feel like I'm using dollar bills on my face LOL (I have a serum from my first kit that retails for $99. Would I ever pay that much for serum? heck no! but will I use it every night knowing that the dropper of serum on my face each night is probably worth at least $5 for a single eyedropper drop? heck yes! LOL)

BeautyFix does allow for skipping.  If you don't want to pay $200/year, I really suggest skipping every other season (unless there's something you MUST have from the current season -- as some products DO sell out each season).  For $100/year you get 16 products, which is still a good deal, but since they only add maybe 8-12 new products a season, the chances of having 8 brand new products that you absolutely need in your kit every season is lower.  (If I just got the previous box, instead of having 8 things I really really want, I usually have maybe 3-6 things I really, really want, and 3-6 things that are filler items that I'm selecting for a 2nd time, or things I skipped from previous seasons) If I skip a box, I then have 3-6 things from the previous season + 3-6 things from the current season + a couple filler things I wouldn't mind having, and suddenly my list is up to 10-14 things I'd be happy with in my kit.  If you want to skip, just call them and tell them that you want to skip. (if you change your mind about skipping later, you can always just choose your items and it'll send it out to you when you do)

For me, I know the Nailtiques is worth at least the $15 for the Formula 2 alone and it has the 3 other products with it (tax + gas lol), so the other 7 items I figure were worth the $35 to me.  It just depends, but I'm not scared about skipping if I don't want to spend $50 for that season!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and informative reply!!!!

I see what your saying about skipping every other season since they repeat many products from the previous season.. good point.  I definitely see the value in the boxes I guess it just feels like a lot compared to everything else I subscribe to. In all actuallity though, it is probably the best deal around! Im excited to have discovered it and cant wait to see what they will add next time. Im **almost tempted to order another box lol

Also, do you get notified via e-mail before they charge your card? Or do you have to be proactive and call in advance if you want to skip?

 

[viccckyhoang]

i can't wait to get my box today! DD

yeah, they actually keep ALL of the past items up until they sell out, so if it's lower on the list, it's been there longer.  I've seen some current season things sell out during the season, I've seen some previous season things sell out during the first 24 hours of the next season, and I've seen things that seem to be popular, that have been on the list for over a year.  It just depends on how much product they have, and how popular it is.

Annually, it's really not that expensive compared to the other subs, since $15/month is actually $180/year, and those are normally for sample sizes.

If you want to skip, you do have to call (since the way BeautyFix works, they say you can choose up until their cut off date. They e-mail you when the cut off date is, which is maybe a week or two after the new season opens up?.  You won't get charged at all if you call and skip.  You won't get charged for your box until you actually make your order, or you wait until the cut off date.)

Summer Sneak Peak e-mail received 6/9

Pick your Fix e-mail received 6/15

Date listed inside Pick your Fix e-mail: 6/25 11:59pm

So you get a couple heads up before your card will get charged.  And you can pick your items and dwell over whether you want them for 10 days before deciding to cancel! lol

 

[AngeBrooklyn]

Thanks for all the detail, Annelle!  I'd been wondering about a lot of the same questions that SimplyChellexX asked.  I had just gotten my first shipment and had been thinking of cancelling, but I might just wait and see instead.

 I got an Email notice from the company today telling me that they are crediting my account for over $30.. I haven't seen it come through yet, but I believe them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm so happy, and I have those of you who asked me to pursue the discount to thank for it!!

Here's what I am getting- Some of my first choices sold out while I was deciding on the rest, LOL:

VICHY Lift Activ Day cream

Eminence Coconut Body Lotion

STILA Set and Correct Powder

Jane Iredale Lip Plumper in Milan

Murad Hybrid Eye lift and Hybrid Primer

Exuviance- Rejuvinating Treatment Mask

Global Goddess- eye shadow

3Lab Perfect Cleansing Foam

And the 2 tone MU duo bag

I hope these are some good products and make up for the not- exciting contents of this quarter's TT.

Thanks,

Laura

I didn't like the 3Lab Cleansing Foam.  I just didn't like how it felt when I rinsed it off my face, but it reminded me a lot of Origins Checks and Balances face wash.  Some people call it "squeaky" clean (one of my friends LOVES it because of it) ...I just don't really know how to describe it, but I don't like it!!  (almost like if you rubbed your finger against a balloon, but the balloon was so rubbery that you can't slide your finger smoothly over the balloon, and it goes bump, bump, bump, across the surface...that's how it makes my face feel!)

Hi! I already sub to four different sample boxes, but this one looks fantastic. I have a question for those of you who have been getting it for two or three or more rounds now: Does the variety of sample choices vary much between shipments? I would hate to subscribe and get everything I want now, only to find nothing appealing left for the next round.

Thanks for your information!

The products you see now will be the same products that you'll see for the rest of the season (unless an item sells out, then it'll be removed from the list.)

When the new season shows up, there will be maybe 8-12 new products added to the top of the list.  Everything else on the list that has not sold out will stay on the page until they sell out, whenever they sell out, whether it's tomorrow or next year.

Notice the product is at the end of my list? I had put something else I really WANTED in my cart, bu it sold out before I had made all my selections. Think it was the night cream from Kinerase that matches the cleanser I have--

Other than the 1 3Labs substitute product, do you think it's an OK list?

I don't know a lot about the smaller brands. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
