Beauty Fix July 2015 Spoilers + 50% Off First Month!

I’m also pretty underwhelmed by this box! The past few months have been pretty good. I’ve discovered several new brands through these boxes that I love and use daily. When I opened the package this time it looked to me as though they forgot to put in main items! These are all “free” samples and they have no business selling them! If August is a repeat I’m cancelling. It’s to their benefit to introduce us to products that we will repurchase as opposed to cleaning out old inventory! I always purchase through DermaStore rather than Sephora if I can but not if the BeautyFix boxes turn into garbage.

Wile at $13.00 this was an ok box…. For full price paying subscribers, this was a joke!!! I am seriously upset by the ridiculously small sizes. If they were going to do a promotion and shrink sizes to offset expenses then they should have done so with ONLY the people using the promotion code, not the people already subscribed to their service. I essentially paid almost $30 dollars for a tube of their lipgloss and mascara… Considering the hair clips say FREE GIFT on them and everything else is joke size small. I really can’t wait to see Liz review this. August better be amazing or I am dropping them for good.

I get that this box was half price (for new subscribers; I’d be furious if paid full price) but the microscopic samples don’t exactly encourage me to stay subbed at full price. I’m not sure why subs think that sending a lower value box for a discounted price will draw in new subscribers and keep them beyond the first box. I took one look at the contents and pronounced them smaller than BB and that’s saying a lot (and without the accompanying reward points, yet priced $3 higher). To me it’s a super cheap move to “discount” the box but then send samples that are nothing like the sizes they’ve included in previous boxes. That’s hardly a great deal. Had they sent the same high value box for half price as in prior months I’d sub for the long haul in a hot minute. As it stands pretty much everyone I spoke to who subbed at the discounted price were unimpressed and already cancelled. It’s especially bad that they sent multiple “not for resale” samples. I’m pretty sure no one who snapped up this deal was thinking “I hope they send a box of samples I can get for free at Sephora instead of the full size products they usually send.” People (for the most part) subbed at the discounted rate assuming they’d get the same sizes that BF has included in every other box. Basically it’s a bait and switch scenario, right up there with subs that offer deals on RueLaLa or Gilt but then send lower value boxes to sale price subscriber. On one hand they sent the same box to everyone but on the other, that’s hardly fair to existing subscribers who paid $25. In short, this just felt underhanded and shady.

I just received my box today, and have been a regular monthly subscriber (ie paid full price). I feel like this box contents’ shrunk in the mail…some of the tube “samples” don’t have sizes but feel essentially empty, and that is the tiniest bar of soap that I have seen. On a positive side, the soap does smell nice, but at $27 a month for a beauty sub, I am off to cancel this one and take my chances if they up their game for August.

My box should be arriving today. I read the comments about the small sizes and wondering if they do this occasionally to balance out cost. If so, it may work for them but it’s a bummer for the customer who expects a great box and a bang for their buck each month. I really like beauty fix so I’ll hang in there and see what next month’s box looks like -and I think they count on customers to do that lol. I’m hooked for now but will cancel if I start getting too many foil packets and minis.

Got my box and was angry enough with the size of the samples to complain (what’s with the soap? I get larger soaps at hotels!). They didn’t let me return the box, but they gave me a refund of 50%, so around $13. For $13 this is an OK sample box. But I’m nervous about next month. I haven’t cancelled yet, but I’m thinking about it. I could always resubscribe after the spoilers.

I received my box today, and I’m actually pretty happy with it. The samples are definitely smaller than in past months, but I’ll actually use or try all of it, while there’s always been one or two things that have ended up in my swap pile in past months. I’m hoping for a return to more full size products next month, but BeautyFix remains a favorite of mine!

I am a bit disappointed in this box. It seems to me, that they just threw a bunch of samples they had laying around into a box and called it good. I cannot express enough, how much I dislike foil packets. It isn’t because they are small (because depending on the sample type, I can get quite a few uses out of the packet) but because there is no great way to store them once they have been opened. Whatever product is at the top dries out, and either the rest of the product goes to waste, or you have to cull the dried product from the top. They also leak or spill because it’s difficult to keep them upright.

Anyway, to say I am disappointed in this box would be an understatement. If the next box is like this too, I will be cancelling my subscription, which makes me sad because I remember what BeautyFix USED to be like. :\

I received mine today. Glad I got this one for half price because it’s kind of disappointing. A few notes: The soap is indeed the Erno Lazlo Firmamine so I’m happy to try that. The Devacurl is indeed the foil packets set. I will not be using that. Is someone interested in trading for it? The Bliss and Vichy products are excellent sizes for travel. I am happy just to have the refillable Vichy bottle! The Undercover Agent product is minute and the others (not already mentioned) are quite small. The clips are very sturdy and will be useful. They also included an additional free foil packet. Hoping next month will be better but I’m not unhappy since I only paid half price.

wow this was disappointing in lieu of the last subs. :/ not many full sized. Just 2 after having 4 or 5? their samples are usually super small too. I should get mine in the next few days. I’ll keep them for a bit longer but for $26 a mth (includes tax), I won’t keep something that disappoints. We shall see.

Got my box today and I’m regretting even paying the ~$13 for it. I’m really wondering what happened this month, considering their previous boxes.

I received my box today. Everything is small, except the mascara. It doesn’t seem like a box worth 100.00. I hope the products wow me. I have been a subscriber for almost a year. This box seems like it’s full of samples. I’m hoping for a great box next month.

50% off is pretty good…does anybody know if any other codes apply? 🙂

Mine has shipped! This is my first BeautyFix, and while previous months were much more tempting with the products, I couldn’t pass this up at half price. I wouldn’t buy it at full price, though, which is weird since I’ve always considered previous BeautyFix boxes to be well worth the $25 value but something or another always kept me from buying. I feel like I bought this one only for the price… which is terrible haha.

I’m just happy I could finally sign up before it sold out.

Yeah, as a current subscriber I am not impressed. With shipping or tax or whatever is added this box is $27+ for me. Those teeny tiny samples just don’t cut it. I’m interested to see the actual value for myself when I have the items in hand. Beauty Fix has consistently been a favorite for me but more months like this and I will have to bow out.

They no longer make more shipments to Puerto Rico, i had to cancel my subscription today (my last beautyfix was in march). Soooooo sad!!!! I really love this beauty box!!! =(

I’m torn on the box. I want to try the DevaCurl!

I posted about the cost 3 times last night, but I can’t see my postings. Anyway, as far as I can tell, from the video and using the prices I could quickly find online, this is the value breakdown of the products in the box. They add up to $66 plus the cost of the cleansing bar. I can’t tell either the brand or the size of the bar from the video.

The SkinCeutical items do not count as they specifically say “Not for Resale” and don’t comply with US packaging laws.

Deva Curl Intro kit – $9.5 (at Amazon)
Bliss Mask, .34 oz $5.4 (3.4oz full size $54 at Ulta)
Lip Quencher $12
Glo-minerals mascara $19.5 at Dermstore
SkinMedica moisturizer .25 oz $7 (2 oz full size $56 at Dermstore)
Vichy Cleanser 1 oz $2.5 (6.76 oz full size $17 at Ultima)
Harry Josh clips 2 $10 (3 for $15 at Dermstore)

Darn that half off coupon! I totally bought one…. I’ve no self control. I keep saying “No MORE”!!!!!

I’m loving this spoiler! Devacurl is the best product for my blonde curly hair! I hope everyone who doesn’t like it, puts it up for swap!

I’m excited for the skincentuals and lip quench…diva curl? nah. Got fine, thin hair but I might find a friend who will want it. I hope it’s not a full sized item, I’d rather that be the skin stuff. I still love this sub!

Hmm. Yeah it doesn’t seem like there’s really a marquee item this month. All things I can use though, so I’m happy with this box.

I kind of wish they wouldn’t repeat things from past mystery boxes though – I already had the carbon tail comb from a couple of months ago and I have the hair clips – both from recent mystery grab bags. I do like the hair clips so I’m fine with having extras. If I keep up my beautyfix sub I definitely won’t be buying any future mystery grab bags though, with that issue in mind.

If this is the same kit I have received before the deva curl set is all foil packets

I was just about to buy new hair clips, these look like good quality too, and need more micellar water. So, at half price, this is a no-brainer. The Deva Curl will be gifted to my big hair friend – she’ll be thrilled!
