BeautyCon BFF Beauty Winter Subscription Box Review + Coupon

WARNING

I tried to cancel my subscription to Beautycon BFF, given that this box came with 3 damaged items and that it wasn’t that exciting to my daughter, and they responded REFUSING to cancel my subscription saying that their policy was that you had to e-mail them to cancel within 7-days of receiving your last box. I couldn’t even cancel the summer box, to cancel that one I’d have to wait to receive the spring box and then cancel within the 7-day window.

Fortunately, California law prohibits these shenanigans. I spoke with my credit card company and they will do a charge back if Beautycon BFF charges my credit card again (though I have to call them to dispute the charges). But this policy is so dicey and anti-consumer, that I figured I’d warn the rest of you.

If you don’t live in California, check the consumer protection laws in your state as they may also protect you in this case.

I couldn’t resist! I had to have the the minnie ears, tattoos and the nike gift card box!! Thank you to those who shared the coupon code.

We got our box at the end of December – but by the time my daughter opened it in early January the Bethany Mota $10 off purchase had expired. This really stinks!

This was my first box (had been on the fence for months before taking the plunge). I contacted them about the ColourPop highlighter (mine was ‘shrunk’ to half the size) and they sent out a replacement right away. Obviously a bad batch, but due to the number of people with problems, I’m disappointed BFF or CP didn’t cease and correct. [I hate feeling like I’m being passed inferior product purposefully.]

I’m not a fan of gift cards that require a purchase and consider them another filler. I really wish subscription boxes would only include gift cards that are face value with no additional money required. $20 at Nike or $10 at Aeropostle would have been nice. Granted, I may even spend more than $50 at the store, but I feel forced when they state $XXX off a $XXX purchase. Is it just me?

Other than those minor complaints, I was happy with my first box. The Minnie ears pulled me in. There’s enough product I’ll use personally to validate the price and the others will be great gifts!

There is a coupon code Vday50 and I was able to use it on the year subscription!!! 4 boxes for $50 plus shipping.

I was going to give it a go with the free shipping coupon code, but when I went to look at it, VDAY50 popped up, and I saved 50% on the box. My total was $21.49, so especially with the $20 card, that’s awesome! When I submitted my order, a message popped up that said “Internal Server Error”, but I checked my e-mail and my order went through. Just in case anyone is thinking about this one, hopefully you’ll get the same great bargain to try it out! 🙂

I got that mascara in the Target box, too. It is the devil’s mascara. It’s horrible, and it resulted in me having to completely redo my eye makeup– twice.

The gift card box is cute as a button, though. I’d totally reuse that.

I got this box for my 13-yo and I think it’s really directed to that age group. She has been a big Bethany Mota fan “since before she got famous”, she says 🙂

That said, I was not too happy with the box, and my daughter’s general attitude towards it was “meh”. In addition to the problem with the highlighter, the original Minnie Mouse ears we got had loose stitching so they went down rather than up and the notebook had indentations on the front. The replacements were better but not perfect.

She did like the mascara and the tattoos. Click on my name to see my full review.

For the Colourpop, try using a tissue on top and pressing down. One of my readers told me that trick and it worked like a charm. Mine was damaged too and using the tissue made all the cracks disappear and like brand new. It is sort of magic haha!

I just subbed just for the Minnie ears and cute little Nike box. I like that’s quarterly. Will try it for a couple of seasons.

thinking of ordering for the Minnie ears too… throwing my twins a Mickey Mouse themed party for their 2nd birthday next month and i want to wear those at it! everything else is just a bonus i guess 🙂

If I sign up today or tomorrow will i get this box or have to wait until spring? Thanks for an excellent review! I’m such a sucker for colourpop anything.

I kinda want the Minnie Mouse headband, though I’m too old for it. Then again, that doesn’t stop me from wearing my panda or bunny earmuffs. *cough*

Liz, they might have added the $30 in discounts to arrive at the $100+ value for the box.

This was my first Beautycon box and, although it’s really aimed at a younger crowd than me, I loved it.
I found that the Garnier Fructis Root Amp did just that, and very well too! My hair kept its volume for days – colour me impressed.
I’d never heard of Colourpop before this and have been on their website buying more!
I’m excited to see what the next quarter brings.

“Like the type of bad reviews where it is actually entertaining and you can’t stop reading” – Love it, definitely been there… and can’t stop reading them either 🙂

And oh my shoebox if that isn’t the cutest little box ever! So cute!

Agreed on the Push Up Falsies mascara, totally clumped up and feathered and just didn’t work out at all.
Cute little Nike card box. That would make a great regift box for a gift card too!
