Harry Josh Pro Tools Mini Oval Brush – Value $25
I have the larger Harry Josh brush, and it's a quality item, so I'm happy to get a travel sized version too. Here it is in my hand to give a better sense of scale:
Bliss Foot Patrol – FULL SIZE! Value $18
(Good to know for swaps - has inner foil seal)
This foot cream has a refreshing minty scent, and I'm not sure if this is a new formula, but online this product has parabens in the ingredients, but it's not on the ingredient list of the actual product.
LaLicious Weightless Hand Cream in Sugar Reef - .23 oz Value $1.40
(Subscribers will receive either Sugar Kiss, Sugar Reef or Sugar Coconut)
(Good to know for swaps - has inner foil seal)
This is a tiny sample for a hand cream! I like the scent, and the formula is lightweight, so at least I will get a few uses out of it!
glominerals Suede Matte Stick in Pinup – FULL SIZE! Value $16
This lipstick goes on smoothly without the drying effect that some matte lipsticks can have. I like the formula, but the color is a little too orange-red for me. (Swatched below)
VBeaute Lip Spread Anti-Age Hydrating Lip Gloss in Distraction - FULL SIZE! Value $19
(Subscribers will receive either Distraction or Kinky)
This formula is paraben, fragrance and gluten free! It adds color and a TON of shine without any stickiness! Swatched below on the right:
Toppik Hair Fattener Advanced Thickening Serum - 1 oz Value $5.30
I feel like BeautyFix sends more hair thickening products than the typical beauty subscription box! I wasn't expecting too much from this product, but decided to give it a try. (It works on both dry or damp hair). It's a gel that you distribute from root to tip. The directions don't specify how much to use, so I went with 2 pumps of the gel, and applied it throughout my hair. It's fragranced, but the scent fades quickly (and smells pretty good too). I noticed a lift in hair volume without any stickiness or any other feeling that made me feel like I was wearing hair product, so I'm happy. I'll probably add this to my hair routine. (And it is sulfate free and safe for color treated hair).
skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Face Gel for Smile Lines - Value $4.40
I've tried the eye patches before, but these smile lines gels are new to me! I like that skyn products are free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, fragrance, dye, etc. (And they are vegan too!) I decided to wear these while writing this review, and I'm pleased with the results. (I noticed a subtle difference in my smile lines after taking them off). One thing to keep in mind while wearing these - you can't talk/smile/etc. while wearing them!
Vichy LiftActiv Serum 10 - 3 ml Value $4.50
This serum is paraben-free and leaves my skin super smooth. I would have loved a larger sample, though.
Dermalogica AGE Smart Skin Perfect Primer SPF 30 – 7 ml Value $15.50
I wasn't expecting this primer to be tinted. It looks dark in the tube compared to my skin tone, but I was able to blend it in completely. And like a good primer, it provides a pretty much flawless smooth finish. And this is actually a decent sized sample since the full sized version is only .75 oz.
Verdict: This box has a value of about $109. I think BeautyFix almost always delivers a great value compared to the cost, and I appreciate the variety of items this month, and most of the sample sizes are good too! My favorite items are the brush, the lipgloss, the foot cream, the primer and the hair serum. (For some reason, my favorite items tend to be full-size, high-value items! 😉 )
