Beauty DNA Subscription Box Review – April 2014

Just got my June box. I got Revitalash which they say has a value of $98! Can’t wait to see if this works!

I signed up near the end of last month and received skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream with Biospheric Complex. I’ve been using it this past month and I love the product they chose for me. The info Beauty DNA sent me said it retails for $65 and from what I’ve seen online that is true. I’ll be receiving my May product soon so I’m really excited to see what I get next. I’m really excited about this subscription. I can see it being a really good value especially since the products are being chosen for me from their in depth survey.

I just got my May box. Can’t find a May thread so I guess I will post here. Please move if incorrect. My box was slightly delayed and when I didn’t get a notice of shipment I emailed to ask if I had misunderstood the timing. They responded (quickly) that I was correct but that my item had been pulled aside in their quality control for a ‘better match’ and would be shipped that day since it had been rectified. I received Babor Body Line Thermal. I had not heard of this product nor this line. Opened the box and tried a little: seems very nice.

My April box was also late but they did e-mail back right away apologizing. I received Baborganic Revitalizing Eye Cream (Retail price $64.00) I have never heard of this brand but I’m happy to try it out, this box wasn’t as exciting as March’s box for me but its still one of my favorite subs right now and can’t wait for May’s box!

Hi! Just wondering if anyone else was skipped last month? They did not charge me but I haven’t received a shipment since my first product 2 months ago.

Got my first box and I am so pleased! I requested a hair product and got Wen Lavender Cleansing Conditioner, which is perfectly suited for me (retails for $18). As a bonus I got Ahava Caressing Body Sorbet which also was perfectly matched for me (retails for $26). Both will jump the queue of random beauty products to be used tonight! This is an excellent subscription for those who are pickier about what kinds of products they use.

I am new to beauty dna and I have to say if your thinking about signing up do your profile in depth. Know in advance what you are looking for or not because they rotate every month with hair, skin and body. So you will never get two skin items in a row according to the lady at the company who handles the product reviews. Customer service is super awesome and are very prompt. I received a skyn iceland oxygen infusion night cream. It retails for 75.00 so my overall thoughts is that I really love the full size items. I like trying things I would never pick and its great name brand products we all know and love. Be forewarned your profile determines overall what you may get and may not.

I got a skyn Icelandic Relief Eye Cream and the John Frieda Luminous Glaze Clear Shine Gloss as a bonus item. I love these products. Never tried skyn before, but heard good reviews. And I always want to try the JF glaze shine gloss. I really enjoy this subscription box.

I got my first BeautyDNA box very shortly after I signed up, so right off the bat I was happy with their service. I was not put off by filling out such a long survey, because my choices are the only information my beauty consultant has to work with.

I chose a skincare item for my first item, and I received Goldfaden MD Sun Visor Ultralight Oil-Free SPF 30 mist. I have used this product for about 2 weeks now on my face, neck and chest. I like it a LOT. It comes out as a really light, milky spray. It is not greasy or sticky at all. At first I was spraying it on pretty close to my skin and I had to rub it in, but now I just lightly mist it at a distance that creates a very light spray and I don’t have to rub it in.

My only slightly negative point that I made on my review on the BeautyDNA Facebook page was that the card I received stated that this was a $75 product. I looked it up on Amazon, and this is a $45 product. Still, that is $20 more than what I paid, and there was the treat of having someone find a product for me based on my preferences. I probably never would have found this product by myself. I am very pleased with BeautyDNA!

I’m actually really disappointed about this month’s service. I received COOLA face mineral sunscreen. While it sounds nice, it’s valued at only $36. I don’t feel like I received my money’s worth, at all. I was really looking forward to this service too.

I received Miracle Skin Transformer Heal Everything Balm and a bonus Kiehl’s lotion this month. The balm was only $26 but I’ve decided that I don’t mind. The point of me doing this was to find new products that I love and this will definitely be one of them. My skin is super reactive and I get hives really easily. I put this on today and it cleared it up my hives right away. Super happy! Another win, two months in a row. Really pleased with Beauty DNA.

I got 2 items this month, Wen Pomegranate cleansing conditioner (value $18) and a bonus item of Eau Thermale Avène Akerat Smoothing exfoliating Creme (value $31). The Wen calls for using 12 pumps for short hair so it won’t last long, but I have been wanting to try it but didn’t want to buy it.

Just received my first product- worth $60! I am very happy with my first box- we’ll see if that continues. Crossing my fingers.

Beauty DNA is my favorite box to date. Love it!

I do like the service and recommended in their survey that products they send could be added to our profiles; allowing us to note if they were liked or not.
I received a June Jacobs Citrus Moisturizer. The scent was too strong for me which makes it difficult to use. I’m looking forward to the next shipment though.

Well, I received Eau Thermale Avene Night cream. The full size of this cream is $61! I don’t know if I like it yet. It’s suppose to reduce wrinkles and brighten skin. Frankly, I don’t remember all those scientific words that I checked on my profile. Would I buy it on my own? No. But I think I got a good deal and I did want a night cream with no fragrance.

I’m curious as to what they send me next.

Ahhh!! I love Kiehls! The value of your last box was way higher than mine, I’m hoping that I get luckier this month. Can’t wait to see what I get, hopefully mine will ship in the next few days. 🙂

I signed up and loved what I received as well. Very high value product and very nicely matched. I can’t wait for May!

When looking for skin care products, for my face, I always look for Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide as those are more natural and better sunscreens. Regular ingredients that are in sunscreens burn my face (and not as natural). If you pay attention to say, Bella Pierre, and other similar more natural foundations, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are included in the few ingredients. Even Bare Minerals have these ingredients. Though if you use products with higher percentages of this you might see white residue (life guards with white noses).

Just signed up. I like the super-customization and I was able to pick that I get a hair product for my first box (I’m drowning in face care stuff right now).

Titanium dioxide is in a lot of mineral makeup (it’s sourced from minerals). It’s also in a lot of sunscreens (in place of PABA and related chemicals) and is supposed to be better for people with sensitive skin than sunscreen chemicals. My guess is this ingredient (and possibly also the lavender) had something to do with a preference for beauty products with natural ingredients.

Good Value – Yet this box would not be for me. I could see myself trying the only item twice and then not liking it. Then I would feel awful for getting it in the first place.
