Beauty Fix

[page5]

I also called to skip and discovered I am not a subscriber. I stayed unsubscribed - I will just order in the future if I see enough items that I really want/need.

I got it today! I haven't had the chance to try anything but the new lip plumper. Not only did it plump my lips, but it also made them a pretty red color. And it doesn't hurt at all. It just has a nice cinnamon taste and feels slightly warm.

The Cotz sunscreen had a sticker on the box that says, "Enjoy your free sample." Um, free? No. And it is only .5 oz, the sticker on the tube says it's sample size and the package says 1.5 oz, so I expect it is a 1/3 full tube. The tube itself is not huge, so this is disappointing. This was a huge draw to ordering this quarter, because I do need a good high sunblock that is mineral.

The full sized "Argan Oil" which is mostly silicones, is making me want to try it, even though I am strictly a no-cone girl. The mascara is full size as well, and is heavy.

But the peel looks kind of small. They also sent me a shampoo and conditioner sample that I haven't looked at yet.

I got the CoTz sunscreen in my box last quarter and I was surprised about it too. But, don't let it keep you from enjoying the product! For me it ended up being my favorite product in the whole box and a definite HG item. I love how it's primarily a sunscreen but wears like make-up -- the coverage is so good that I don't even need to wear foundation other than a little bit of color-correcting powder. To date, it is the ONLY product of which I got a sample in a subscription box which I tried and then bought the full-size of.

Also, the sample will last you a pretty long time. I bought the full-size almost right away using my Dermstore coupon, but I haven't even touched it yet -- I didn't finish the sample size version until last week! Every time before that when I thought I was done with it, I was surprised that I still managed to squeeze more out of the tube. Granted, I didn't wear it every single day because I've been trying some different products, but I've worn it more than anything else (I haven't even touched my MAC Face & Body since I got it) and it basically lasted me for 3 months. I'd say that's pretty darn good for a sample.

And if you're interested in the full-size, Ulta has it on sale (online at least) for $15 instead of $20.

I got the CoTz sunscreen back in the Spring quarter and it was listed on Beautyfix as 1.5 oz.  When I received the .5 oz, I let them know and they changed it to the correct size on the website.  So, even though it's in a huge tube, it is listed correctly as .5 oz when you make your picks.  It is a fantastic sunscreen that I would highly recommend to anybody.  It didn't break my oily, acne prone face out and it had a matte finish to it.  I thought that the color would be way too dark for my pale skin, but it blended beautifully and looked natural.  I agree that it lasts forever too!  I've been alternating it with a Coola sunscreen (which is also fantastic), and I still have some left.

Speaking of wrong sizes, I ordered the Snowberry Eye Serum which, when I ordered it, was shown and said .5 oz.  That is also what was on the email confirmation I received.  When I got it today, it was half the size.  I went on the site and noticed they had changed the size there (though the bigger size was still pictured).  I called them up and they gave me $10 back.

Thank you for letting me know that. I think I will try wearing it tomorrow, that way I may be able to get it on sale. $15 sounds like a pretty good price for sunblock and foundation.

So I called to cancel my subscription last week. Even though I never got an e-mail reminding me to skip or cancel and assumed that like everyone else, I maybe was never actually signed up for a recurring subscription, I didn't want to take any chances.

I just got an order confirmation e-mail.

I am PISSED. Currently on hold with their customer service and about to give them a piece of my mind.

So their CS said the order was placed due to a "system error". I'm not sure I buy it, but whatever. At least they acknowledged their mistake because they did have a record of me calling in a week ago to cancel, so they had no problem refunding the charge.

The weird thing is that I called in within 5 minutes of getting the e-mail, but they said that the order has already been shipped...?! The good news is that they said that I can keep the box when I get it, so at least I'm getting a box of freebies out of this SNAFU. The bad news is that the order only contains one item that I would've ordered for myself had I placed another BeautyFix order, everything else is mostly skin creams and body lotions that don't interest me, and some real junk. (Degree Body Mist? Really???)

I guess I'll be getting a bunch of stuff to replenish my trade list...

It's bizarre! I remember being a little worried even after I called in to cancel last week, so I purposely changed my billing address to an incorrect one. I'm not sure how they managed to charge me with the incorrect information.

But I guess I can't complain too much if I'm getting a bunch of free stuff out of it, LOL.

Thats really bad. You better check your funds. I know some banks still lets the payment go through and if your account goes negative, you get charged a insufficent fund fee if it's not cleared within the next day.

my bank doesn't accept anything if i don't have enough funds /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> there's never a negative amount.

Ok, so I cancelled MONTHS ago.... And haven't had a problem with them charging me. But yesterday I noticed 49.99 was missing my my bank account and saw it was a charge from BeautyFix. I called them up, and the girl helping me kept telling me I was not cancelled and had no note of me calling....

And to make things worse, the box had already shipped, and now I have to wait for it to get here, and call them back for postage to send the stinking box back before I get a refund.

Aaaand they claimed I should have gotten an e-mail saying my selection was open (which I do not get because I CANCELLED months ago) and whatnot, but I have not received any e-mails whatsoever from them since I cancelled. And I checked my spam and nothing. Yet they kept claiming on the phone they e-mailed me.

I am not happy with Beautyfix. Not one bit.
