My box was apparently lost in transit. I messaged the this morning on Facebook and was told a replacement would be sent via ups. Great! But I never got a notice that it was being shipped so I checked my account. A replacement was ordered at no charged, then canceled, then ordered again, then canceled again. What the heck?

Got mine today, absolutely disappointed. I opened the lipstick and there was NOTHING in the tube…completely empty! And the other products were tiny, I could not even holdcon to them. Some of the boxes are a hit, while some are a more of a miss. I think I am done, BeautyFix.

This is the first time Beauty fix has ever disappointed me. Hopefully it’s the last. This sub is my most favorite.

Hi! I see a lot of people aren’t fond of the hair mask coming in this month… I actually have been wanting to try it for a while now! Would anyone be willing to send it my way?

That hair mask is quite popular on the swap site!

You should join the swap! It’s on this site. I’ve gotten rid of tons of things I won’t use in exchange for my favorite products. In fact I’m almost cleared out I only have 20 or so product left.

Having briogeo in this box is like a slap in the face to me right now Lol I don’t like the stuff it’s all over the sub world. I have been trying to cancel this box for OVER A WEEK. And of course, today, they finally stop yanking my chain and cancel for me EXCEPT for this month. I was specifically trying to avoid a charge right now in order to wait for me to get paid in a couple of weeks. I wanted to cancel so I can resub when I have the money. At this point I’m so livid that I don’t want to resub and this sub has always been one of my faves. I’m so unimpressed and frustrated at this point.

How many times are they going to recycle the Avene water? I have 2 full size cans from them alone in reserve. I purged quite a few longtime beauty subs this week but hung on to this one in hopes it would continue the good streak of the last few boxes. Fewer items, spray water that’s a repeat-repeat, Briogeo mask (repeat), MD Solar Science (repeat) and another Nick Chavez hair product are a sign to continue my new year’s box purge. The inclusion of a lower end brand lipstick did nothing to save this box for me; ditto the Biorewind (while I generally like the brand it’s yet another brand repeat from just last month). Given their vast product inventory I’m certain they have other brands they could include beyond the same 8-10 they seem to rotate monthly.

BeautyFix box is available now Liz. Just ordered!

I already have 2 cans of the Avene in the closet — but — I will say it’s a quick fix for hair static !! Static is due to dryness in the air – so one small spritz and my hair static is gone ! So much better than those chemical static sprays and it doesn’t leave your hair sticky, like a hair spray will. (just don’t use too much or you’ll need the blow dryer again..)
Just my .02 — haven’t really tried it for clothing static. I also put my hair up in a clip until I get to work to avoid flat static hair.

The spray actually has really good reviews online so I may give it a go…plus I read that it’s an essential part of the Korean skin care routine.

The avene has floral bacterial in th3 water that good for the skin

Love this sub but raise your hand if you’ve already gotten more than your fair share of the Bridgeo? ✋
Can’t wait to see what they do for next month!

This is the first month I’m disappointed in beauty fix. The only products that are really useful to me, the moisturizer and serum are the ones I have way too many of in my stash. I’ll stick it out because they are normally my favorite. I’ve been searching for the unboxing video online because I live to watch them but can’t find it has anyone seen it yet?
Reply
Stephanie
Me too. I can’t use chemical sunscreens so the MD Solarscience moisturizer is a no-go, I dislike lipstick, Briogeo has been in -every- other sub box for the last year, and everything else is pretty meh. Is there no beauty tool this month? That was actually almost always my favorite part.
Reply
Tara
Me too! 7 products and no tool! Very sad.

It’s fun to see what’s in these boxes. I use to get both Beautyfix and Boxycharm. I stopped both awhile back and do not regret it. I was getting just too much stuff that I didn’t use. I gave it away. I still get many others and anything I can’t use I gift or give to be local food pantry that accepts them.

Was thinking about subbing but will wait another month. That is really cool that they let you cancel even after you’ve been charged and do returns if you don’t care for the box. I think that’s going to be a big factor in my switching from boxycharm. Also love that beautyfix is mor well rounded always including skin hair and make up

They did not let me cancel. They said i’ve been charged so the ox is with a carrier. If I want a refund I have to pay return shipping. If I want a store credit than it’s free to return and the credit can’t be used on the next months beautyfix but only in the store.

I’m glad it’s not just me who isn’t impressed with Briogeo. Whenever I get it, I keep wondering what I’m missing.

THE best conditioning treatment I have ever used is Bigen Deep Conditioner. It is not expensive, but it is a bit of a pain because it comes in packets. I empty them into an empty Keratase jar and use it from there.
The only reason I haven’t tried the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask is because I am incredibly happy with the Bigen product. The Bigen product seems to be targeted at a particular hair-type, but I have fine, straight, dyed hair and it works great for me.

Where do you find this product? It sounds like we have a similar type of hair and I am always looking for a product that will do great in my hair! Although, when I looked this product up, it seems like it is more geared for ethnic hair. It doesn’t weigh your hair down? Also, how does it smell? I am so in love when a hair product also smells good,lol, although results do matter more.

Beautyfix had that mask in their box for the June 2014 box. I got it then and didn’t like it. Pass.

So excited for the Nick Chavez Volumizing I love this stuff! You only need very little! Lipstick looks ok? And I guess I will try the serum. The rest is Blahhh for me tho! I am also on Product Overload but I generally love BF so I’m gonna give it one more month.

are any of these items in this jan box full sized?

Stefanie
Yes. The Briogio mask, Thermal water, nick chavez hair stuff & lipstick are all full sized.

I agree with you ladies. This is usually my favorite box. Nothing is exciting to me in this box. I just gave two tubs of the Briogeos away. I have already been charged. Wondering f I can skip this month. Time to contact customer service…
Reply
Becca
Nope you can’t skip or cancel. I just call and was told I would have to return it. If you put return to sender you will be charged a $15 fee. If you want a refund you have to pay return shipping and if you want store credit you get a return label for free. I’m not pleased.

Becca, thanks for the info 🙂
Darn it, guess I’ll just get the box, gift some stuff, and hope next month’s box is great!

I really like this subscription, but I am on product overload. This seems like a good month to start a break.

Well, I like the Briogeo mask. (Haha, apparently I am in the minority. I do have a lot of it, but will use it, so that is OK.) Haven’t tried the Dermalogica Superfoliant but love their daily microfoliant. Lipstick is generally a good choice for me.
I don’t like water sprays in general, and have gotten rid of quite a few FS Avene sprays. I can’t imagine I would use the styling cream, especially after reading the description.
Moisturizer and serum, I am always up for trying, but I kind of have a problem in that I have too many of both.
I think I am probably going to cancel this one (I mean, already been charged for the month, but going forward). I am cutting down on beauty subs because my stash is just unmanageable.
Reply
Luna
I’m in the minority too! I love the Briogeo mask, but I’m not fond of the smell (the samples I used a few months ago had a sort of chemical/medicinal smell). I’ll still use it though, because it makes my hair feel so soft afterwards. I already have a few (new) samples of it waiting to be used, plus I got a full-sized jar in a PSMH mystery box, and I recently purchased another one in an Ipsy offer! Having said that, that’s not enough for me to re-subscribe (yet) to Beauty Fix or purchase a box.

Briogeo has shoved their overpriced conditioner (that’s all it is) into every beauty sub box in this country over the past two years. Pass.
Reply

Totally agree. I can’t seem to escape getting samples of it. And all my friends I give my samples to are also tired of it. No more, please!!

I agree, this box is underwhelming. They’ve charged my card so I’ll just go along with it. Beautyfix usually makes up for it in other months.
I have several of the bioregeo too, even after gifting some over the holidays. 😀

Becca
This is the first month I’m not happy with. Nothing really stands out. There is less items than there usually is and I really don’t want another Briogeo mask. I have 8 and I don’t even like it. It is definitely not worth the $26 this month. Ot may be time for me to cancel.

I agree on the mask didn’t even deranged my hair I only ordered for the nick Chavez flocker .

Agree completely. I am normally really excited about their boxes, but this one is a let down. And I really don’t need to see Briogeo’s hair mask in another sub box for a long long time. I am on the phone now to cancel. There isn’t a single thing I would use.

I was able to cancel my box this time in the order history tab. I don’t like anything in this box either :/.

Unfortunately my box already shipped so there is only a return button. Do you know if you have to pay return shipping.
