BeautyFix May 2015 Spoilers!

If I purchased the May box, will I receive the box every month or will I need to buy this box every time it is offered? I am hoping it is just a subscription that I will receive every month.

I re-subbed to this in April because of the cleansing oil and stayed in May because of the Needles No More. I am anxious to see what will be in store for us in June.

I must say that I like this curation much, much better than when it was the ‘bag’ subscription. (Can’t recall the exact name.) I tried that one for two months and had to cancel because it was mostly hair products and mostly heavier stuff for curls or oils, neither of which I can use for my fine, straight, color-treated hair.

I want to sub to this – but it doesn’t take me to a subscription page.
Are they not accepting new subscriptions now?

Overall I was pleased with this box for the $25 price tag. The hair oil works well on my fine hair, the brow stuff is fun to play with, and I like the sunscreen.

I didn’t see a significant difference with the Needles No More, at least not enough to spend the $ on a full sized bottle, but I’m glad they included it so that I could try it. They did bill the box as anti-aging products in the description, and the relationship seems a little attenuated to me, but I can use everything in the box other than the blond brow cream, so I’m happy about that.

Two months in, I think my only wish for this box is that they would make it a little easier to skip if you didn’t like the theme/spoilers, but right now the value has been so good – with good quality full sized products, that I’m really excited about this sub. Already looking forward to what they come up with for next month!

dear dermstore person that might be browsing in here looking for june ideas; a nice soothing toner would be nice for summer after all the beating our faces take with the sun, sweat and AHA treatments. 😀 or perhaps another cleansing oil as we enter the final half of april’s DHC to see if all cleansing oils are created equal.
ps i trust your procurement i hugz you plz never cancel me i would never quit you hashtag youhadmeatfullsizemoisturizer

Reviews:

Citrix: Love it! It smooths on, it’s somewhat emollient, not just a pure liquid. It doesn’t burn. It’s completely clear.

Sunscreen: I rubbed it in and it looked nice, nice and matte. Since there’s no tint, I wanted to put on some make-up over it. My regular make-up has oxynoxate, so that wouldn’t work (oxynoxate destabilizes avobenzone). My previous make-up did too. I pulled out my previously used make up to that and put some on. It started to ball up somewhat – because of the dimethicone in the new sunscreen. So did my undereye concealer. I wonder if that takes off the sunscreen? Tomorrow I’ll try a powder foundation over it and see if that’s better. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go without the makeup.

Smart Brow: It worked! Blonde worked on my brunette eyebrows. I should be able to swap the Brunette one. I will also say that my eyebrows aren’t thinning and this product still worked. Although I am middle-aged and my eyebrow color is not as vibrant as it used to be so that’s why I need a brow product in the first place so you might not need one.

Is it annoying to write reviews when most people haven’t received the boxes yet?

It also occurred to me one reason why this box is so great: most boxes are filled with cut up paper with the products sitting on top, but this one is filled to the top with stuff!!

I got mine today and I’m so excited! So many fun, new things to try that I wouldn’t have bought for myself! This is my 2nd month with BeautyFix and they are amazing!! 🙂

I received my box today! I am very pleased! I’m so happy they gave us two shades of the Smartbrow. I have light brown hair, and I am able to blend the two products…perfect!
I hope they stay on this great path. I was going to cancel a few months ago, I’m happy that I didn’t.
I love every product that they sent…and the value is amazing!

does everyone get the same beautyfix box or is there variation?

This is my first month because I saw how good last month’s was, but I really don’t want a bunch of .03 oz samples…=[ and I can’t use the brow stuff.

Based on Candes spoiler post (thank you!), the OCD side of me had to add this up, as I have not received my box yet. This is what I came up with:

$45.00 Blowout beauty anti frizz volume boost treatment oil. 2 oz
$26.00 Peter Roth thomas sunblock 50 spf. 1/2 oz
$12.00 Harry Josh carbon tail comb

(Assuming full size)
$61.00 Smart Brow Eyebrow Filler Duo blonde
$61.00 Smart Brow Eyebrow Filler Duo Brunette

$15.13 Dr Brandt needles no more .085 oz
$5.07 Citrix Vit C collegen brightening serum .06 oz
$6.30 Neostrata skin perfecting peel -2 pad set

(Could not find on site or Internet)
?? Nouveau Excellence code cream .07 oz
?? Nouveau lunar code serum .05 oz

TOTAL (minus Nouveau items): $231.50

I’m sure I’ll be able to swap out the eyebrow filler I won’t be using, so that’s not a big deal for me. I have black hair/fair skin, but I’ve always used brunette powders. Using a black powder would look too harsh on me, and I’m not going for the goth look (well, not since high school anyways lol)

WHHHHY do subs only offer lighter brow products? Lots of people with brown hair have black eyebrows :(. Not the best way to start a new subscription, with one of the full sized products being unusable. Why don’t subs give you the option to order your needed shade if they insist on including items that are skin tone or hair color specific?

Stupid iPad.. Lol…. Please ignore the blank post. Got mine!

Blowout beauty anti frizz volume boost treatment oil. 2 oz
Peter Roth thomas sunblock 50 spf. 1/2 oz
Harry Josh carbon tail comb

Ok now this is where it gets weird but good lol…
Smart Brow Eyebrow Filler Duo blonde
Smart Brow Eyebrow Filler Duo Brunette

I have not been getting any samples lately from them but got some super nice ones today:

Dr Brandt needles no more .085 oz
Citrix Vit C collegen brightening serum .06 oz
Neostrata skin perfecting peel -2 pad set
Nouveau Excellence code cream .07 oz
Nouveau lunar code serum .05 oz

I posted a pic on OBT if you want to see them.

Dermstore seems to be doing a great job with this box. If the value and quality of products continues like last month, I may just have to keep this as a regular sub! My box doesn’t get here till Friday and I am impatient!

My box shipped May 4 and should be here tomorrow. In my experience, they have fabulous shipping, which is unusual these days! Having your May box arrive at the beginning of May fills a void that no others do..:)

This may be my favorite beauty box. I have found that it is a much better value (in the sense that it contains reputable products that I actually use) than my other beauty boxes, (though I don’t subscribe to very many strictly beauty boxes).

I’m back and forth about this month… I still have multiple full size Purlisse SPFs left from the over load last summer. While I love BeautyFix, I don’t like that one of their biggest items is something I don’t need, nor will I use it. Hmmm… I think I just have a fear of missing out.

I’ve tried the Needles No More before (hey, that rhymed!) and it’s really good stuff. Usually with these wrinkle fillers I test them buy putting a small amount onto the webbing of my hand that’s between my index finger and my thumb. I then compare it to the same area on my other, untreated hand. You can usually see a difference in the lines when you’re using a good product.

The ad screenshot actually says “up to 10 products” so I’m taking that to mean 10 items aren’t guaranteed. That said, their boxes are usually worth several times the price paid.

Gonna give it a try! Even though I will not be using the Peter Roth Sunscreen stick because it contains Oxybenzone I still am excited to see their curation. I have been a little disappointed with BirchBox lately (I know, how is that possible?!). I subbed to Dermstore’s box a long time ago before it was Blush Mystery box and it was awesome. So hopefully this will fill my beauty sub hole that Birchbox has caused because I seriously keep getting sent Harvey Prince stuff and I am over it.

Hooray, I finally got to subscribe and bought a box for my mom.

I just signed up! I’m really excited to try this subscription. It looks like a great value, and I’m just starting to get into skincare products, so it seems like a perfect fit for me.

I have been trying to sign up for this box. And…I Just did! Very happy addict here

This is a random question, but does anyone know when the Sephora sun safety kit goes on sale?

I’d just signed up! Yay. Even though I’m more in love with last month box because it fits my skin type, I’m excited to finally get to join Beautyfix. Anyone who is selling their April BeautyFix box or want to swap. Please message me! 🙂 [email protected]

I really want to sign up for this but the website doesn’t have an option that I can see. Liz, can you help?

A sunscreen with no Parabens or sulfates AND its full size! Score 🙂 I’m a happy camper. 🙂 I subbed to this for the oil cleanser last month and so far I am LOVING it! Great mix of skincare/haircare/cosmetics. And with one full size item and 9 others? I honestly don’t even think I could be mad if they were all samples!
