Beauty Fix

[Missglammygirl]

Got my box today!!!!! So happy!

I got:

Stila set and correct powder- amazing! love it!!! I love the grinding aspect of it. Kronos shine spray- just a shine spray, weird smell.

Jonathan hair spray- nice! and not bad. plus its huge! It will last me forever!

Jonathan hair serum- im a sucker for hair serums. smells pretty good. smaller than I expected.

Raw minerals eyeshadow brush- not bad, but I gave it away

Batiste dry shampoo- just a dry shampoo, but wanted to try it, then gave it away.

Global goddess eyeshadow- nice color, but came broken. called BF and they are sending me a new one!

Skindinavia spray- I got it as a back up for my UD deslick since they make the spray anyways. It has a different scent to deslick, I prefer deslick to it, but it would be good to travel with since its big enough to last a while, but too big for a carryon.

Plus 2 mini makeup bags. Not too bad for 21.44 with the BFBLOG code. Stupid CA sales tax though. Not too sure if I will get one next quarter. Depends on the selection. My favorite item would have to be the stila set and correct powder. Before i found out about this product, I never knew this packaging existed! If bare minerals used this instead of their click lock and go method, I would probably have wasted less product over the years. Then I learn smashbox has this same packaging with their halo powder. debating on whether I shoould try that too. but thats a different thing. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

But overall happy with my purchase. plus I took advantage of the survey thing so I got the gift card and bought two tarte blushes, stila cheek and lip stain in passionfruit, stila lip trio and a mystery grab bag.

Man, I wish I'd known that before I made my selection... I found out later that those SpaRitual polishes have been up there forever (interestingly, the only blogs with swatches all seemed to have gotten them through BF, and I think some went back to 2009 or 2010). I'm such a polish addict and I've been wanting to try SpaRitual, but now that I know this and I've tried them, I wouldn't really say it was worth giving up the opportunity to try out some more expensive items. So, friendly advice to those who haven't ordered yet... skip the polishes...

I saw the Stila powder in IMATS this weekend, I did not bother to try it or check on it because I remember I ordered it in Beauty Fix. That was the first thing I opened in my box. For some reasons, when the powder is ground, it seems like it create static. When it comes to contact to brush, it flies everywhere.

Not sure if you are using a brush with animal hairs or a synthetic brush, but some face brushes do get static electricity in them. 

If adding a bit of conditioner to the brush cleanser doesn't work, what about applying with a non- latex facial sponge?

I used them for all my Bare Mineral makeup for years because I found that the many powders on my face were absorbed better and also didn't have flyaway like on a brush..

Of course, if you are cosmetic- savvy enough to go to IMATS, you probably know all there is to know about brushes, brush care, and other application methods., I don't mean to butt in. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

my favorite item to get rid of static are dryer sheets.  (clothes clinging to you? pull out a dryer sheet and just wipe over your clothes to fix)

Maybe try getting a dryer sheet and like...wiping your brush on it, to see if it helps?  Or maybe wiping the metal grinder with the static sheet.  see if that helps?

I've never tried it with a makeup brush, but it works wonders for skirts and dresses and static filled hair, lol

I've been using it with a flat synthetic foundation brush and haven't had any problems.  I've been applying it like a mineral powder concealer.  Hope that helps.

No issues with static for me, it must be your brush. My guess is that Annelle's dryer sheet idea will msot likely work!​

Ive never had a brush get static-y before so not sure what the issue could be. ​

 ​

Anyways, I just went and ordered a second box for $19.99 using my other e-mail!!! I couldnt resist!!!

 I will be cancelling this one right away and leaving the first membership open untill I see what next quarter's products will be. ​

I decided to get mostly all different things in my second box except for 2 repeats because I loved the products so much.​

Heres what I will be getting this time around:​

• Eminence Coconut Firming Body Lotion REPEAT (I absolutely LOVED this stuff and was so excited to get a second bottle considering it costs about $36 regularly
  
  Also, I thought they were sold out of it since iIdidnt see it listed on the site when ordering today but when I called (to make sure I could use my code and to edit my credit card information) I asked if they had any left and Lo and Behold, she said YES! Not quite sure how that worked out but I am a happy girl! )
• Jonathan Finish Control High Shine Flexible Hairspray

• Cures By Avance Age Defyer Eye ( will be gifting to my mom since I already have several eye creams and this sounds great! )

• Beautyfix Flat Makeup Bag Duo w/ purple flowers
• Raw Natural Beauty Mineral Glow - Warm Glow
• Nailtiques Nail Moisturizer and Formula Kit REPEAT ( I have heard great things about these products and have liked the kit so far. I will either keep this as backup or gift to my mom )
  
• Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser
  

• iQ Derma Clear Remedy Hydrating Lotion
  
  
  If anyone has any thoughts/reviews on any of the new products Ive listed above I would love to know what you thought about them!!​

Was the only thing you changed to get a second account was email address? Did you use the same payment method & address? Did you send yourself a referral link to sign up through? Just curious /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

^ I made a second acct on BF with the same shipping/billing address, different name/email/credit card after BF didn't send my first acct any updates about when quarters came out. Oops.

Also...I was seriously like bugging out last night because I could NOT get the Stila S&C powder to come out...and then I realized that the top of the grinder has a small plastic film covering it....I was like...wow I am so dumb.

After I got it off and used it, I liked it since it did seem to minimize redness...though I dunno if I can really tell a difference between that and my $6 setting powder.

Also, also,I think someone asked about the Kinerase night cream? I got it before and hate it so much. I put it on my face and when I was scratching one side, the lotion like...flaked off. And the next morning, the other side had a really weird red rash/bumps, I guess from being irritated by the formula. I think it's like a stronger formula, and I normally don't have sensitive skin but hot d*@%.....I recommend not getting it lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I strongly believed that it was because of the brush. I tried it just now with another brush and didn't have any issue with it. Maybe it has been quite a while since I used loose powder that is why it kinda got off my mind.

Thanks Annelle! Will try that next time I'll use a new brush /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Btw, I was sad not to see in you in IMATS. We had to leave after the NYX Face Awards. Git to see Zadidoll and Irene. I hope to see you next time /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

yeah, dang. I got caught up doing a few interviews on the other side and lost track of time. When I realized what time it was you were already gone!

 

[zadidoll]

Oh you missed seeing me make a complete fool of myself in interviewing Scott Barnes and Perez Hilton. Unfortunately there IS video of the Perez interview. LOL Thanks Annelle!

 

[HelloLeilani]

Got my Beautyfix for the quarter, will post a photo later, but this beauty sub never disappoints and definitely gives me the most for my money. I have loved everything I've gotten from there. I cancelled my New Beauty Test Tube a couple days ago and am happy I did. This quarter is completely lackluster and disappointing. 

Oh and that Jane Iredale lip plumper? FABULOUS! Great neutral pink shade and smells JUST LIKE like Cherry Coke! MY faaaave new thing. LoveLoving the Coconut lotion too. mmm.

You're so cute, Zadi! Perez is really funny! Im pretty sure you both still have the highest energy level despite of that long day!

Hopefully I could make it to next year's IMATS LA. January is too soon! I might go to London for a change, but we'll see. I hope there'll be another affair where we MuT girls will meet up! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You know me so well. lol. 

Sometimes coconut is done very, very, verrrrry badly. I'm happy to say this is my fave coconut lotion to date! I'm also addicted to everything Tahitian vanilla. 

 Annnnd I love cola scented lip products. My fave lip balm ever is Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper with Coca-Cola scent being a close second. This particular Beautyfix order was full of so much win when it comes to me, it's ridiculous.

I LOVE the coconut lotion. I was going to open another account (just for the lotion!) but its gone. Beauty fix has some awesome new products, much better the spring ones.

lol, me too! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I get the Exuviance mask every single time. It's my favorite peel off mask, leaves my skin baby soft! It's so pricey at Ulta that Beautyfix is always the better deal for me. The coconut lotion, Exuviance, Stila, and lip plumper are waaaay worth the full price and then some, plus I got more goodies. I also get Nailtiques every time. That protein has saved my nails from my crazy amounts of polish color changes. Thanks to Beautyfix I'm a lifetime customer of Nailtiques, formula 2 protein.
