Beautiac Makeup Brush Refill Subscription – Should We Review It?

Wow, how wasteful. I would rather see more reviews for eco-conscious companies like the Mighty Fix review a few posts down.

Wow, I was just going to comment something generic like, “I’m not interested,” but then I saw the #controversy in the comments!

I think Anna makes a good point that reviews of this sub might get boring. However, that got me thinking that it might be worth MSA’s time to do a review of a starter box so interested folks can learn about the quality of the tools, then one more review the next month or a few months down the road to see how the first set of tools held up, & if the quality of the brush heads remains consistent with subsequent shipments.

I just worked so hard to get my brush collection down to a reasonable size so I can easily take care of them. I’m not about to add more brushes whether disposable or not.

We, as a society, just get lazier and lazier.

I like that everyone has mentioned that not all cities would recycle the brush heads. BUT lets take into account the amount of waste and byproduct created by the manufacturing of these brush heads. I doubt they are off setting their carbon footprint with just having the brush heads being recyclable.
Don’t get me wrong, I fall into the totally lazy category of only washing my brushes hopefully 3 times a year, if that. But then again I do wipe them off to remove the color after I use them, I never share brushes, and 100% have never had any type of skin reaction (not even a pimple) from my laziness.
Granted I do not use liquids on my brushes so perhaps that makes a difference, I am more of a highlighter/eye shadow with mascara girl. And I do take care of my skin with products and sunscreen so no one ever believes I am in my 40’s anyway.

I agree with everyone that this isn’t eco-friendly BUT sub boxes aren’t in general. We’re all getting shipments of boxes, stuffed with packing, stuffed in other boxes full of disposable samples in containers we can’t recycle. This is no worse for the environment than a monthly shipment of ipsy, sephora or razor refills.

I travel a lot. I thought these might be a nice travel option. E.g. Receive the first box and receive one – two – theee more sets as backup. This way I can toss just before I go home as washing is not feasible when I travel.

No, I would use them for home use, but travel…

Definitely a NO! This is such a waste! I would rather have great quality brushes that I have to clean && take care of then cheap disposable brushes that I have to throw away each month. Im sure they are very cheap and will fall apart since you replace them every 30 days. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this is definitely not a good box to review.

No, this is such a waste. Would definitely rather have good quality brushes that last for years. If you are replacing your brushes each month then it will obviously be cheap quality. Everyone has their own opinions so if people want to purchase this, let them go ahead but this would definitely not be a good review.

This seems awfully unneeded and is trying to fill a void nobody asked for. When taken cared of, a quality brush can last years. My primary set of Sephora Pro brushes have lasted me for about 4 years. Invest in quality brushes and you won’t find yourself needing to replace them often.

This feels like posturing. Let’s create a recyclable version of something that doesn’t create barely any waste to begin with! Most brushes last for ages if properly cared for. I can’t see how this would be more effective, honestly. It’s just targeting the people who want to brag about how environmentally conscious they are without actually doing any research.

I’d like to see it reviewed!

$20 a month is like a Boxycharm subscription, and they send new brushes every month anyway. 🙂

Brush-washing takes only a few minutes and not even much water.

Yes please review! Their recyclable! And it’s really no different than the morpheme brush subscription your still getting new brushes every month! So my vote yes and I really do hope their will be a review on this cause i think alot of people will give it a try!

No, I prefer cleaning my brushes, and I already get an occasional new brush with the Ipsy bag. I don’t need a whole new set of brushes every month.

So wasteful and bad for the environment. And are we going to ignore that price tag? I bet it costs them a dollar to make a huge batch in China, but here they will charge you $20 monthly.

Thanks for never posting my comments that I take the time to write out

I can appreciate you always bringing new sub boxes to our attention. I find your blog much more user friendly than Crate Joy’s.
I personally wouldn’t use this sub. As for your review of it I think it would only appeal to a small group of people. Would the review be cost effective for you to review?
We would all read it out of curiosity but as far as making the plunge to purchase probably not

It may take more time to open the package, dispose of shipping materials, change the brush heads, and throw away/recycle the old brush heads than to clean the brushes.

It would be a better use of $20 a month to invest in quality brushes that would last for years with proper care!

I’m in the ‘seems wasteful’ boat. Just because they are recyclable doesn’t mean your particular city can/will be able to, or even know they should. Plus if you factor in the energy to make, ship and recycle, it’s still wasteful. A review would just give this wasteful box more viability, so I’m against it.

Besides what everyone else has already said, I don’t see the point of only having these three types of brushes. I use more eye shadow brushes than anything else, and those get more dirty with various colors.

I agree with all the comments as I prefer to wash my own brushes. Plus I prefer my pretty pink brushes! I did go on the site and they do offer recycling for those who do not have plastic recycling. They did do a good job of scaring me into thinking about mold!? Regardless, I prefer to keep my own! But I would love to see a review about the quality of the brushes.

Unless the brush heads are fully recyclable, this seems environmentally and socially unconscionable. I am fully capable of washing my brushes once a month. I have extras of the types I use most to reduce the need to wash more frequently.

Wow I’m pretty lazy about washing my brushes but this is just so wasteful it makes me want to be better about taking care of my brushes.
