Beauty Fix

[OiiO]

I just received my first box last week and I'm definitely going to keep my subscription!

I liked everything, especially the Exuviance mask, all of the nail treatments (they actually work), the 3LAB cleanser and of course the Stila powder.

The total RV is almost $285.

Here's my haul pic:

I just ordered my first Beauty Fix bag. I only heard about it today from a MUT blogger, and I was really impressed with how many full sized or generously sampled items I will be getting for the intro price. Here's what I picked:

- Exuviance Rej Masque

- 3Lab M crem

- Bioelements Pumice Peel

- Batiste dry shampoo

- Alphahydrox AHA Souffle Soothing Anti-wrinkle

- Nailtiques nail moisturizer and formula kit

- Jane Iredale just kissed lip plumper

- Murad eye lift perfector & Hybrid primer perfector matte

As you can see by my choices, I am really paranoid about wrinkles and my skin's texture. I really hope one of those treatments or creams makes a dramatic positive difference. I would seriously consider purchasing the $250 for full price if it could really impress me with its results. I've never paid that much for a face cream or any other single beauty product before, but if it could fix my issues, it would be worth it, to me.

I'm really impressed they included the Murad primer and eye lift as one choice and they are full size! I hope I like them. They are out of the Stila color correcting powder and the coconut lotion, now. But I wasn't after those items anyway, and would only have added them as an afterthought. The lip plumper looks really pretty in all of the pics/videos I've seen. Dry shampoo is something I can always use. And the nail kit would be excellent if it works. I have peely nails, so I am curious to see if it helps at all. I'm really looking forward to getting my order, and seeing what the new products will be in September.

Summer was my first box too! I signed up because of the stila, and I love it. The dry shampoo isnt bad, I got it too and didnt mind it. I wish I would have gotten other things like the lip plumper, murad items, arcona toner. But the first one is a learning experience. I cant wait till september either!

Just a word of warning, I am pretty sure the 3Lab cream is a teeny sample.  I remembered looking at it (wanting to get it) but I opted for larger sized products instead.  I have no idea how good it is though, it might be a miracle product lol.

I think it is like a .5, but people said that a little goes a lot way. I looked up reviews online, and the raves are overwhelming. The only negative reviews I saw, is one or two people who got whiteheads, and every other review said that it made their wrinkles go away, and that they saw a difference almost immediately. The brand says it's the rare apple stem cells, but it's also got some kind of growth hormone in it, which kind of scares me. But at this point, I think I'd do just about anything for a smooth forehead. I don't have real wrinkles, just cruddy texture from a tango with some retinol, so .5 could possibly fix my problem.

The nail kit works for sure, I have thin peeling nails and it actually does make them stronger. After 4 or 5 protein base coats they don't even bend anymore!

It's true about the Nailtiques — it works. I couldn't wear nail polish for like 10 years because I have the weakest, peeliest nails, and the Nailtiques really helped a lot. I used the kit for like a month to strengthen my nails, and then when I tried wearing nail polish, I always use the Nailtiques protein as my base coat. I've been wearing polish every day for the last 6 months without much trouble.

I am thinking about subbing to Beauty Fix, how do you know how much they are going to charge you? When you go to sign up and build your bag it doesn't ask for any cc info until you have already signed up. I went ahead and made a account and it tried to charge me without anything. I put a promo code in as well and it doesn't tell you a total price. So fill me with wisdom subbers!

I wasn't comfortable with the whole "secret" price thing so i called them and placed my order by phone.  Everything gets taken care of properly that way.  Also, if there were any items that you wanted that are no longer avail on-line, you can ask about it because sometimes they still have a few left.

When in September can we order again, does anyone know?

It's not really a "secret" price, since the $49.99 is displayed all over their website.  The main thing that's the problem here is if you're using a coupon code or have a discount, you have no way of verifying that the discount is approved, acknowledged, or even legitimate, because there isn't a "confirm this order/price/shipping address/payment" step...it just jumps straight from "pick your items" to "ok your credit card has been charged and you'll get a shipping notice soon."

Even when you go to an actual store with a bunch of stuff to buy, they let you know how much the total is before taking your money, and BeautyFix's website doesn't give you that confirmation step.

@AthenaBolina, the schedule isn't set into stone.  When I called and asked them about it once, I was told the customer service doesn't even know the exact release date of the new season until maybe a week or two before the new season.  You'll get a teaser e-mail maybe a week or two before it's ready, with a preview of some/most of the new products that will be available for the new season, then for a few days to a week, you'll be able to check out the new products available on their site.  Then, you get another e-mail saying "Pick your fix!" which lets you know that you can now choose items.  That same e-mail will notify you the cut off date for you to pick your items or cancel the box (if you do neither, then they'll auto-pick and auto-ship/auto-charge you after their cut off date).  Usually there's maybe 10-14 days? to pick?  I know I've listed exact dates in the past, but it's around 2 weeks, I believe.

You're right, I was just being snarky when I typed that.  It does bug me though that there's no confirmation of the amount being charged.  And I recollect that there have been a number of people on this thread whose accounts ended up not getting the appropriate code or discount applied.   That said, I do like BF since you have control over the items you get, and the items are mostly full or deluxe size.

I haven't even gotten my first one yet, and I am ridiculously excited about the new quarter. Thank you for letting us newbies know how it works. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am so in love with the items I have received and looking foward to the next one! Talk about some good stuff for your money I would recommend it to everyone! When I asked for the next date I was just told mid September ! Here is what I got in my box! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHva1flWf6U&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I agree with you. The simple confirmation step would save everybody (including their own customer service!!) a lot of hassle. I don't know why they don't have it.  It's always best to be able to confirm before you pay, instead of feeling like you're mid-purchase and all of a sudden the money's taken from you.

Unless they changed their button to a "Pressing this button confirms everything you've got and will charge you and complete your purchase order. please verify NOW before clicking!" like huge bold bright in your face "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE" statement.  I much prefer having everything on my cart, going to the next screen so I can verify everything before hitting the "charge my card" button.

Yeah i definitely reccomment ordering over the phone. I had the same issue with the promo code not going through, and was charged full price without knowing.  When i saw the charge on my bank statement I called and they took care of it for me, crediting the difference back to my account.  I actually liked the service so much I signed up for a second box/account using my other e-mail address.  That time I called to place the order and ended up getting a second bottle of the eminence coconut lotion although it was "sold out" on the website! Definitely dosent hurt to ask! I will order over the phone next quarter unless they change the payment method to show the final charge.  Does anyone know if they have another promo code for next time? One that an existing subscriber can use? That would be awsome!!

Does anyone have one (or two?) of the $25 off $50 purchase coupon codes that you won't be using? If so, I'd love to have it — I want to buy my boyfriend an Art of Shaving kit for his birthday. I'd be happy to send you a sample on my swap list (or make you a great swap if you're interested) in return.
