BeautyCon BFF Beauty Subscription Box Review – August 2015

I really want to try this box out! Too bad they don’t have this in the UK! We’re really lacking subscription boxes!!

I thought it was cute! I really like the flower headband, it doesn’t look like a fake cheap one but haven’t convinced myself I’m still youngnenoufh to pull it off, the sunglasses were cute, the bag. Love the beauty they included, the bracelet was cute, earrings vs were cute even though I can’t wear them. And it’s actually only $29.99 for the box, but they charge shipping which makes the difference. I hate shipping, I would rather.pay more for an item than say I pd shipping, pahaha, I know….idk

The new fall beautycon is out for purchase. There is a YouTube video of it.

I am tired of sample and deluxe size product subscription boxes, so I was happy to hear about this! It doesn’t have the high end brands of a Boxycharm or Glossybox, but at least the products are full size and the $35 price is for a 3 month supply of product. I see a lot of talk about the “demographic” this is supposedly aimed at, but I am not seeing anything on the site or in this box that suggests it isn’t appropriate for older beauty lovers. I am in my 40s and I’m excited about trying out these products! Age is just a number!

I won’t lie, I swapped for the box on the swap site. I really wanted it. I’m 33, but the flower headband really caught my eye & I never pass up a Baby Lips lip balm or a Nyx lipstick. I’ve also been wanting yo try out that mascara (I have this crazy obsession with mascaras; I have at least 30 revolving tubes in their very own ‘mascara drawer righ now

I didn’t see the price earlier and I also think it’s a little high. If they’re just using drugstore brands and not mid/high end brands, then I think around $25 is more reasonable. Most of the accessories, albeit cute, are a house brand and don’t really justify the price. That being said, this looks like it’d be a fun gift for teens!
Also, thanks everyone for explaining where “Bye Felicia” is from! I’m not a big fan of the current slang (Fleek, Bae, Slay, Legit, etc.) either.

$35.99 for that box? Puh-leese. Perhaps it is outside my demographic, so at the risk of being rude, all I can say is… “Bye, Felicia!”

Wow what an overpriced box of junk! I could go to the dollar store and drugstore and get more products that are better quality for 35.99. If it were 10.00 I’d say sure what the heck. But 35.99?! Outrageous even if it is quarterly.

Bye Felicia comes from the movie “Friday”. Craig, Ice Cubes character, said that to Felicia, she was a crackhead. She was Nia Long’s sister in the movie. She would always come around asking for money. So it really is an insult to even be called Felicia, I mean who wants to be referred to as a begging crackhead? I guess it means something else now, but knowing where the term actually comes from and who Felicia is it’s not exactly cute or funny to me. Maybe if it’s a friend saying it to you…

For those wondering bye Felicia is a teenage slang for saying someone is leaving and nobody cares or will miss them. On fleek means perfect and that is legit means awesome.i have 3 teenage children and my kids no better than to talk this way.disgusting!

Their website is kind of obnoxious. With the words: fleek, legit and use of bye Felicia. All I can do is roll my eyes. No wonder kids don’t know proper words or how to phrase things. lol

I don’t think it was all cheap drugstore junk. Drugstore for sure..but I like NYX, the spray looks interesting, the earrings are subtle, the bag can be used for your carryon liquids. Would I pay $35? No but it was an ok box. (maybe at a lower price point though).

I’m 21, but I feel like this box is a little too cutesy and young for me. This is definitely more for 15-16 year olds who are just starting out with makeup and want to experiment with affordable brands.
I have that Colourpop eyeshadow, plus a few other shades, and I love it! I’m definitely buying more soon. Nyx is great too. I have that Maybelline lip balm in Cherry Me and it does moisturize/give a natural red tint. I cringe every time I see the commercial for that mascara. That look is exactly what I don’t want! Also, can someone enlighten me on what “Bye Felicia” is referring to?

I know that mascara looks janky, but you guys ITS SO LEGIT. I bought it as an impulse and it does beautiful things to my lashes. Its my new HG mascara.

Got it!! Loved it. Favorite sub box so far!!

I love that they actually included a bolder lipstick, because that’s what I like to wear.. But otherwise this box just makes me feel old looking at it (I’m almost 32). The verbiage they use is just the biggest turn off ever. And I do not need more cheap mascara. I’ll watch for future reviews to see if I can be swayed past the silly teen speak.

I want a floral headband! It looks fun for teenagers/young adults although I am not 100% sure. I have boys.

I really liked this box. Although the items were a little young for me, I was still able to use or re-appropriate the items for someone else. The value was there regardless. This is a fun box, with useful and whimsy products. Unlike some other boxes that are, some months, less than worth the value paid; this box rocked! I look forward to what Fall will bring. Thanks for sharing this new experience. PS- My office mate SA Addicts also loved this box as well (and they are older as well).

Wow… I think that box looks like it’s worth maybe $10 or 15 tops, I’m stunned they ask for $35. The lipstick, sunglasses and headband all look like dollar store junk. And their actual website… oy! I don’t ever need to see the word “fleek” again! I knew the box skewed young, but now I’m thinking it’s like ages 12-16 young. This one is not for me, and I’m glad. I get too many boxes already.

I don’t think this box lives up to it’s value. The non-make up items look like dollar store stuff. Makes me sad that this box is $35 & is for teens and tweens. Grown folk like drugstore make up too lol. The best part of this box, for me, is the NYX Wicked lipstick. Great brand & great line of lipstick.

Urgh. That’s an expensive box for a bunch of cheap drugstore junk

Hi Liz…
This box really looks fun…I thought to try it and I went through the website and stumbled upon their code tab…Seriously they do not like if anyone does not provide a positive feedback or is not happy with the box…Will you as well mind not giving a positive feedback if you do not like and of the box in future?

What a fun box! it does seem like it is geared for a younger age group and if I had a teenage or young adult daughter I would definitely sign up. But I’m on box overload. Hope everyone enjoys their box as much as I enjoyed the review.
