Beauty DNA Subscription Box Review – October 2014

I love Beauty Dna. I received so far $ 70 face serum and 75$ eye cream. Love them both-high quality. As a mater of fact, Beauty Dna is my favorite subscription yet. I don’t really need 5 products monthly, all I need is just good one product per month , and that’s what I get with Beauty Dna.

Hi Liz, I see that you haven’t reviewed Beauty DNA for a few months. Did you cancel it? Sorry for being nosy, I’m just curious. lol I recently subscribed, and I received my first product today. I’m pretty thrilled. I received Epicuren Bio Peptide Complex Serum. It’s listed at $114 on the card, but I’ve found it for $98 online. Amazon has it for $82. It matched my profile spot on. I had initially planned to only subscribe for one month, but, based on this month, I may stick around for a few months.

This is by far my favorite sub. This month i got a Bodyography Hydrating Mask with a retail of $32 and I was thrilled I got a Revitalash Volumizing Msscara in Raven! It has a value of $24. I dont think they are doing cosmetics yet, this fell under the eye category because it helps with sparse lashes. I had never even heard of the Bodyograpy brand before and want to try more products by them. Both of these products are amazing and perfect for me. I received 2 items this month and neither was marked as a bonus.

I got this same exact face mask last month, but I did not receive a bonus item. All I got was the mask 🙁 I’ve been overall disappointed with the value of this subscription. This is my 3rd month and I have not received a shipment with a value higher than $35. I emailed customer service regarding this and just received a generic response that there wasn’t anything I could do because I did receive a product that was more than the sub cost, but they completely missed the point of my email. I spend $25+tax (because i’m in Florida) just discouraging to see a well known blog get the same product as me, but they get a bonus product and I get a “too bad, so sad” email response. Kind of misleading

This is a sub that I had to cancel for now because of unexpected expenses. I hope to restart in the new year. Love reading what everyone is receiving.

I just cancelled this after 2 months although I may re-sub in the future. The first month I got a high value face serum which looks good (haven’t opened it yet because I have a bunch of serums to finish up before starting new). This month I received a tube of hand cream at a $37 value, and nothing else, so $50 must not be the cutoff for a secondary item. The value is still there overall I suppose if averaged out, but I must admit I was a little disappointed with only a $37 value on a $25 beauty sub. I have to figure out if a full-size item sub is right for me. When I’m getting so many sample/deluxe samples from other subs, I don’t know how often I’ll use up a whole full-size product. Still mulling it over.

I love this subscription. I’m obsessed with finding new and better skin products, and this box is always an incredible value. I think I’ve received three boxes? The first was a Skinceuticals serum, second was a huge tub of a Phyto hair mask and the most recent was another serum. Probably the best-value box that I’m getting.

I received my first box last month, and was happy to receive skinceuticals hydrating B5 gel. I was so excited to try this since I am just getting into serums. After using this for a week my face nroke out with a ton of teeny tiny under the skin pimples, I have never experienced this kind of acne before! so of course I stopped using it, and emailed them about cancelling or sending the product back for a refund. The value was there since it was like a $75 dollar product but I didn’t want to risk it again. Anyway they emailed me and instead of letting me return the item they just said they would send me a replacement product at no charge. I haven’;t received it yet, but am very happy with the CS I have already experienced!

I received my favorite product yet this last time. Moroccaoil body soufflé. Smells wonderful & is lightweight, with a $52 price tag. Something I would have never chose because of its price but oh how I like it & perfect for my skin type. Feels like a luxe spa body cream. Beauty DNA is just knocking it out of the ballpark with my last few shipments.

I just got my third sept box last week. I got the same brand as a clove flower and turmeric face serum. So far I’ve gotten two face serums and one shampoo and mask as a set. I think face serums you an get more than one as one can be an exfoliant serum one for anti aging and one for moisture etc and I believe there are diff categories that each one could fit into. I personally don’t mind as I tend to use two diff serums for day and two for night. You can layer them for multiple effects.

I love BeautyDNA, so far I have received only great products. Jen is very responsive and sweet. I cancelled it this month cuz I am out of fun budget : ( I will definitely re subscribe it. I really like the Juara mask Liz received.

I also cancelled Beauty DNA last month. I like the sub., but for some reason I only loved 2 out of 5 boxes, and of course they had to send me my favorite product at the last month. Plus, I just cant keep up with all the full size products! I only have one face and I still have other products that I need to use and more coming from other subscription boxes. I would hate to waste good products if it expires. (BTW, when I filled out the survey, I marked NO on all body products and only a few Yes on hair products. When I talked to the rep. on the phone back then, I mentioned that I would hate to receive body products because I dont use lotion or those things at all. So I received mostly face products. )

I just cancelled this one. They kept sending me face serums and then of course right after I cancelled I receive my final box and it had a great body cellulite (don’t judge, I’ve had 2 kids in 2 years) serum. All but two of my boxes have had values close to $100. It’s a great value unless they’re sending me similar full sized products month after month.

Wow, I can’t believe you got October’s selection by the third of October!

Man I think I’m going to cancel after this month. I’ve been underwhelmed with their selections for me lately, the value the last few months has been much less than yours. Last month I got a cleanser too, valued at $35 so that’s way less than the minimum $50 you are thinking of. I wasn’t particularly pleased with it either, so for spending $25 on a surprise I’d rather pay for something I know I’ll like.

Wow this is a great! any coupon codes to try them out.

I received an item that was $45 with no bonus so the cut off is at least that

Is there a way to request which category you receive? I thought it is suppose to go skin, body, hair (or whatever order) before you receive the same category again, Liz has received skin items the last three times!

I dropped BeautyDNA last month to save for Christmas but I will be back come January! This is by far my favorite subscription. They do a wonderful job of matching products.

I haven’t gotten my September shipment and finally emailed them and the next day I had an email about shipping information. Do they ship at the end of the month? I love this sub, but I they’re shipping is inconsistent.

I got a nice body scrub and body lotion this month. I’m having a mental block as to the brand name (both were the same brand and had “aloe” in the name). BeautyDNA does always make great selections for me, although this was my last month for financial reasons. (Plus I still have more than half of the eye cream, serum, and moisturizer they sent me. I’m not used to full-size products these days and it takes me a long time to use them up!)

FYI to anyone who is interested, canceling seems to be easy. I did it by e-mail. It took a day or two to hear back, but they were very nice about it. Although if you cancel near the time your next shipment is due, that may be too late as they may have already started the shipping process (happened to me, anyway).
