Beauty Fix Subscription Box Review + $10 Coupon – July 2017

This was my first subscription box from Beauty Fix. Way too many small samples for me. I will give this box at least one more month and if I end up with the tiny samples again then I will Unsub. I also subscribe to Ipsy, Glossybox and BoxyCharm. If I am not happy with next months I think I will try Allure.

I received this box today and looks likes some great new products for me to try! For the long time subscribers are the small sizes a normal thing with this box. I personally, would prefer less small samples and more full size products. I may hang for a month or two because its hard to judge by one box. I do love the fact that there was a full size eye shadow. I’ve never used this brand and hope for some staying power. I love masks and am also happy to try out the mask. My favorite boxes are ipsy and glossybox. And i am a new subscriber to Boxycharm.
Overall, i like the box….i just wish the samples were more of a deluxe sample size.

I’m completely neutral on this box. Actually want to try the body wash (especially) and mask, and there is enough to see if I’d want the full size. I’m doubtful on the mask. Don’t personally use EL or Vichy so those will swap, and also the hair spray cuz I’m picky about hair products. The eyeshadow is great. Scrubby thing I don’t need.

Finally, I can never get enough quality vit c so I’m thrilled it’s in the box. The small size is also great for travel, and I like to be especially protective of my skin during trips. I think this is a product you need to sample first because of the smell and how your skin tolerates vit c. I’ve used SkinCeutucals C on and off for years, and while I’m used to the smell there are times when my skin can’t take this formulation. I’ve also found that antioxidants aren’t in the instant results category for me. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, use them for years (assumingly part of a solid skin care regime) and your skin will thank you! Oh yeah, and lastly this way you are at least getting a genuine product.

For a sub with a primary focus on skincare. I’m really surprised about the inclusion of that little face scrubber that’s supposed to just hang out in your shower and collect acne-causing bacteria. I get grossed out just thinking about it. Seriously, Dermstore? That’s the best you can do?

For a sub with a focus on skincare, I’m REALLY surprised they sent that gross little face scrubber. All I can think of is how it’s probably slam full of acne-causing bacteria. I get grossed out just thinking about it.

I hated the smell of the serum but I’ll use it up. Would never purchase full size though given the price. Smell is not worth it. Lol. I was also disappointed in the sample sizes but I’ll use everything. I used the face scrubber, but it dirtied quickly for me since I use makeup. I have a rough patch around my nose right now that just won’t go away but the scrubber has helped greatly. Only other downside is the holder it came with for the shower -for me it does not dry at ALL if I use the holder. Stopped hanging it up and it dries much better.

The stinky smell in the serum is supposedly the Ferulic. Also could be oxidation of the C, so it’s good to find a pic online of what a brand new serum looks like and compare, as yellowng/ambering indicates oxidation. Here’s a great post on vitamin C:

I currently use the Marie Veronique, but Mad Hippie is a cheaper option that is supposed to be great.

I’ve been using SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic serum for about 10 years. You’d never guess my age and I give this serum all of the credit. That said. Yes, it smells. Sausage has always been my guess but maybe hot dogs, too!

My 1st box after an 8 month hiatus. Really like the eyeshadow in Mermaid, just don’t know if it will be used.

The lid on the highly perfumed EL toner came undone and was almost empty. Took me a bit to find out what smelled so strong, as everything had been doused. Would’ve thrown this out anyway, just a pain having to wash all the samples.

On the fence whether to cancel again as I wanted skin, hair, & body care, not makeup, which is why I liked this box. Haven’t used eyeshadow in a decade, but it’s pretty to look at, lol! Most samples were smaller than I remember, too. Sigh.

Beauty Fix is an absolute sham. There is zero value in those free samples that often even say they’re free and not for sale. When you’re paying $26 per box it’s pathetic and feels like such a rip off. Every month I see it I’m glad I cancelled because you’re hardly getting your money’s worth with all their useless samples.

Did anyone else receive a bonus SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream in their box? It was tiny, but still a pleasant surprise!

I have subbed to this box for YEARS, way before it was BeautyFix . i thought my box seemed a little on the skimpy side. I have NEVER had a box with missing items, have always loved my boxes and totally love their CS reps. I really want to try the items that I was missing. I let my 10 year old daughter read the card…then we throw the card and box away. Usually she is pretty good with noticing an ” off” box or bag.

For those that just want another 5 ml Vichy, they are giving them away for free on the Vichy website for consumers who want to try the product (as it is relatively new). No shipping charges.

I’m fine with this box. The value is still more than i paid. Only complaint is i got that ugly deep green eye shadow. I will pawn it off on someone else in my family.

I am so upset with this box! The toner was empty cuz it spilled over everything in this box making it a mess. I emailed the company but they still haven’t gotten back to me. Really bad customer service, I might cancel.

My box was missing the Skin & Co Truffle Therapy, the SkinCeuticals, and the Jane Iredale eye shadow. I contacted Dermstore last week — no response.

Kind of feel ripped off by this box — I’ve always been thrilled in the past but I feel like the samples are getting smaller and smaller. The scrubby pad kind of seems like a cop out. I’ve never been one to complain about the $5 and $10 boxes, but spending $25 and getting samples, plus missing items, is kind of making me rethink my subscription.

I have old, dry hands and since so many of the samples are small I use them on the back of my hands at night. I do the same with all small skin samples I get. I have a good nightime face regimen but other than moisturizer I haven’t done much for my hands. I figure if I come across a product that works well on my hands I might by the full size. My skin isn’t overly sensitive, and the glycolic body wash didn’t burn my skin. I thought it smelled like motel soap though.

I loved everything in my BeautyFix box, although I was a bit sad to get the green eyeshadow. I like neutral colors for my skin tone.. oh well..

Oh yes, the Skinceuticals Vitamin C and Ferulic smells intensely like hot dogs. I could never get over the smell and ended up letting an entire full-size bottle of it oxidize.

I have since moved onto Drunk Elephant’s Vitamin C which smells only faintly of hot dogs and is far less intense.

the skinceuticals smells like burnt hair to me. its VERY off putting and I am tempted to just toss it as I just cannot get past that. definitely not something I would recommend or be tempted to try out other products from the line

I just did a quick review of the BF reviews Liz did from last August until this box. The boxes in August, September and October were a lot like this box overall – mostly deluxe samples, a beauty tool, full size items were not showstopper brands or higher end products.

From November through March, we had a run of fantastic boxes with more full sized items. Now we are back to less spectacular boxes.

I was perfectly happy with my first few BF boxes, which looked a lot like this box. Upon reflection, I’m gonna stick with BF and see how the next several months go.

I agree with some of the other posters here that the small samples are a little disappointing to me. While the value of the box may be well above the cost, there’s something that irks me about little bottles and tubes rolling around inside this huge box. And the nature of a lot of these skincare products, you really need to use them several times to know if they’re working. I’d much prefer fewer skincare items in deluxe sample size than so many microsamples. This used to be my favorite box but lately, I’ve been underwhelmed.

The smell of that serum is normal. I used a product by Dr Weil by Origins years ago that had something to do with mushrooms? Anyway-same smell! It’s totally gross but it goes away pretty quickly. I’ve been using this vitamin c serum for the past week since I’ve gotten the box and it’s made my skin look great. Smells stinky though!

Not impressed with this box lately. Samples getting smaller and smaller every time. I’m gone for the goodness sake of my storage and my wallet

I loved this box. With the $10 coupon, it was only $15 for me. Each one of the eye shadow, truffle eye cream, or CE Feralic more than covered the cost of the box. They sent 9 items. I think that’s great for a box with quality products that I want to try. My solution to small samples is to buy multiple boxes, keep the parts I want, and gift the rest. That way, I got all three shadow colors. Btw, I have read on many sites about the funky smell of the CE Feralic. Some people think it smells fishy. I didn’t like the smell or the feel of it, but it has such good reviews that I’m going to stick it out. I have had good luck with the Dermstore Customer service site. They don’t complain when some months I get multiples boxes and some months I cut down to one.
