Beauty Fix

I'm not one to spend a lot of money on makeup. A big splurge for me would be buying something from the Clinique counter at the mall. Not that I don't wear makeup, I just don't believe in spending a ton of money on it. So when I stumbled upon Beauty Fix, I thought this might be something that would work for me. Sounded easy enough..."Beautyfix.com is an exclusive beauty club dedicated to matching you with the perfect products. Each season, you'll pick 8 of the hottest beauty products recommended just for you by Beautyfix's panel of beauty experts. Selections are based on your profile, but you'll choose what goes in your bag."

You start by completing your profile describing your skin tone, eye color, hair color, etc. Then you choose what applies for your skin tone and your facial concerns and finally your hair type (straight, curly, long, short, dry, etc). Then a screen of products is shown and you get to select 8 products to add to your kit which will ship free of charge along with a little free gift.

Here's a picture of my kit which included body wash and a matching lotion, eye shadow, lip gloss, an exfoliating mask, make up brush, and a mineral glow and active veil.

The body wash and lotion were so disappointing. First off, the bottle is only 2oz so you're not getting many uses out of it. Then when I went to use it, the body wash was so dried out I could barely get it out of the container. It appeared to be really old or something. Then I tried the lip gloss which is labeled "butter toffee" but it tasted like mint. I even had Andy give me a kiss to confirm and he agreed there was no butter toffee to be found. The eye shadows were just ok. Honestly, I like my Loreal eye shadows better. The powder seemed really heavy even though I used such a small amount and I didn't like the way they blended together. The exfoliating mask wasn't bad but I've only used it once since I have sensitive skin and can't over do it with the scrubs. I have yet to try the veil but the mineral glow didn't match my skin tone at all and I looked discolored. I was very light with the application, too.

Beauty Fix is a club with limited membership and you will receive a shipment each season. If you try it and don't like it, you are able to cancel at any time. Honestly, this is not something I would join. It's hard to match make up when you're filling out a profile and not trying on the product to make sure it works ok for you. I would rather see a product in person before I buy it and maybe open a sample to make sure a butter toffee lip gloss smells like butter toffee. But hey, that's just me. I was really disappointed with this program and am giving Beauty Fix 2 biscuits.
