BeautyFIX Subscription Box Review – August 2018

That ACV Scrub for your scalp had to be THEE worst and most awkward product I have ever tried. Hated it… but the ACV rinse they sent a couple months ago IS AMAZING. Left my hair soooo soft! However, straight Apple Cider Vinegar used instead of shampoo is a much cheaper and effective option. I use olive oil as a conditioner also… really, I have never found anything cheaper or more effective than that combo. I only use actual shampoo, conditioner, or hair masks when I receive them in Beauty boxes, and typically it’s because I’m on travel and they are easier to pack. I also only wash my hair every 4 days. Otherwise it gets dried out 😐 I don’t have split ends, and cut my hair once or twice a year. I have very thick curly hair, and I typically go 4 days curly, then 4 days straight. I never leave out hair oil on the day I wash my hair and use dry shampoo the days in between washing. I know this is long, but I always love to hear other people’s hair routines 😬

The Hum melatonin is the first sleep aid that really works for me, I will be purchasing more!

Hi, the promo code of GIFTFABMSA isn’t working. Help?! I’ve already ordered my box. 🙁

No September spoilers? This is really late. Im making decisions for September now, so I guess I’ll just cancel.

hi liz,

i also reccomend olly restful sleep vitamins as well as olly less stress vitamins (stress also disrupts sleep cycles)

this box looks like samples except for the tarte lipstick,

Wow, so sad to hear that we’re all sleep deprived! It’s so important and yet… we aren’t “allowed” to make it a top priority (work, kids, errands, literally everything comes first..)
I’ve had 0 success with melatonin. Each time I’ve taken it I’ve been wide awake the entire night, not even a wink of sleep. I’m pregnant right now but I’ll be giving the HUM a try sometime next year! Lol

I did not receive the SkinMedica eye cream 🙁 Must have gotten left out by mistake? Is it foil-sealed in case I try to get one in a swap?

I’ve tried almost everything and love everything! Beautyfix rocks!!!

Hi Liz! I use melatonin at times and I recommend it often to my patients after the have tried working on their sleep hygiene. As someone said before, people can become tolerant to it – I tell my patients that if this happens, stop it for two weeks and try it again. I personally have had some issues with vivid/disturbing dreams on rare occasion with Melatonin- I’ve noticed that a 1/2 tablet of Benadryl with the Melatonin helps this with no morning sedation. However, I’m not a huge fan of chronic Benadryl use as it can disturb your sleep cycle and there have been some studies associating it with cognitive/thought difficulties later in life. But being sleep deprived is so difficult I totally understand trying just about anything to help!

Hi Liz, i have been taking Melatonin for the past 3 hrs and they help me to sleep because i suffer from insomnia. I also use the kava root tea hy yogi and it helps me to relax and fall asleep fast and keeps your mood mellow and calm… have a great day and thanks for referring this box i love it… 10 items for 24.99… amazing.

I tried melatonin for a while then talked to my doctor about it. He said it is ok to take a low dose once in a while but your body will build tolerance after a while and many people start increasing the dose. And he said it can also stop your body from creating it on its own as it is getting a higher dose from pills. He recommended that if you do take it, take it until the bad sleeping pattern is broken after a few days then stop taking it. So not sure how I feel about it but I did stop taking it.

Myself, my mother and my daughter all swear to the effectiveness of the HUM Beauty ZZZ’s!! I’ve tried lots (tons actually) of sleep aids and these are the ONLY ones that I’ve found to be effective! Personally I’ve used the other melatonin sleep aids and they did nothing for me other than give me terrible dreams, but I’ve had absolutely no issues with these and I’ve used them for almost two years now!!

I didn’t like the tarte formula and color. It has a strange very liquid feel to it and the color is not very flattering on my skin tone, i find a bit orange.
The eye patches are not as good as well, they are not as moist as others, but they stick well. I wouldn’t purchase them but it is good I got to try them.
The eye cream feels nice and absorbs well, not sure yet if it works and I also got a bit of air in it, so might not be able to use it enough to find out.
The dry shampoo is good and the cleansing bar is ok. I dont care for the blotterazzi since I don’t get oily. Not sure I like this box as much as the July one but it was nice to try out the products.

Melatonin gives a small percentage of people really vivid, unsettling dreams. I, unfortunately, am one of those people, and I now avoid it entirely.

Melatonin helps me relax so I fall asleep faster. It usually only takes me a few minutes to pass out. Staying asleep is another story.

This box looks great. If only I had unlimited funds and unlimited space.

The SkinMedica eye cream is incredible. It actually works!! I’ve only used it for about a week and I’ve already seen a substantial difference in my fine lines. I didn’t believe it at first but it’s true. It also absorbs ridiculously fast. I’m not used to that with such a hydrating product. Now if only it wasn’t so ungodly expensive :'( It’s too bad that yours was mostly air. Mine was pretty much completely full.

I was very disappointed with the Klorane eye patches. They feel like I’m wearing stickers! They’re much drier and stiffer than other patches I’ve used. I live for patches and this was pretty much the main reason I bought this box. On the bright side, I now know what type of patches I dislike 🙂

I went for the Hum as soon as I got my box and it did help me sleep. I slept through the night which is normally always a challenge. I will be getting a full size one. Thankfully Beautyfix always has a discount code 🙂 I always find value in their boxes. Thank you for the review.
