Beauty Fix Winter 2012

OK OK, I'm an addict to makeup and skin care, and sample clubs. I admit that. But here is the thing, I do use everything I buy. So on that note here is my BeautyFix box for the Winter season. Beauty Fix is from the dermstore.com and costs $49.99 every 3 months. You get to pick your own 8 products, shipping is free and you get a free cosmetic case. They have a lot of choices suited to any age group so it is worth a look. Also most of the products are full size and high end.

Note: Value of sample sizes calculated of of size and price of full size. AKA I did the math for you. You're Welcome. :P

Sonya Dakar Hydrasoft Lotion - Maintenance .25 oz value $11.00

Moisturizing and oil free, Yup that's one for me.

Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque full size 2.5oz value $39.00

I do a mask once a week. If you consider that this mask costs less then one spa treatment and you can get many uses out of it at home it's totally worth it. 

Beautyfix Large Cosmetic bag, Guessing a value of $10.00

One can never have enough bags and you get to pick which one they send to you. It's an added bonus to the kit.

NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy full size .5oz Value $75.00

Dark circles and puffiness be gone! Seriously $75 value????!!! WOW

Jane Iredale 24-Karat Gold Dust - Rose Gold full size .06 oz value $12.50

This is really pretty, it is an all over powder but I will probably use it as a blush. I never used something with gold dust in it and it has a very nice shimmer to it. A little bit goes a long way. I used it a little heavier on my cheeks and blended it a little onto my forehead for a nice glow.

Intelligent Beauty Labs Rescue Rapid Repair Hair Mask full size 6oz Value $45.00

I am really into these hair masks right now. Directions are to use once a week, I'm really hoping to keep the frizz and split ends away this winter.

DDF Acne Control Treatment .5 oz value $12.35 

No explanation needed on this one. Keep that skin clear is my goal.

Glytone Back Acne Spray full size 2oz value $16.00 

Small word of advice. Hold your breath on this one when using. I breathed too soon and it stung my throat. I only used it once so not sure what it will do, as far as the ingredients are concerned it should work well.

Nick Chavez Caviar Moisturizing Styling Mousse Full size 7oz value $20.00

Caviar seems to be popping up everywhere right now in beauty items. It's supposed to be really good for the hair. 

Total value of my winter kit $240.85 

Totally worth the price.

Later all!

Glossy Box Limited Holiday Edition

I received my Limited Edition Refinery 29 curated Holiday Chic Glossy Box last week and am able to do a quick review on it. This limited edition box contained only full size products and cost $45. Here is what came inside.

 Kelly Van Gogh Rich & Delicious Caviar Hair Masque- 6oz Value $35.00

Even though this is "meant" for color treated hair and I don't color my hair I still battle frizzies and split ends especially in the winter. I can't wait to try it and see how it works.

Josie Maran Argan Color Stick color -Love- .55 oz Value $22.00 

This doubles as a cream blush and a lip color, but I'm not going to use it as a lip color because it smells like tea tree oil to me. It's going to be great for me since I am staying away from powder makeup. Please see my post Beauty Products and Asthma

  

Cult Nails Lacquer in "After Glow" .5oz Value $10.00 

I really love the shimmer in this. It is coppery but also has a pinkness to it.

Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water 3.38oz Value $13.00 

One can never have enough cleanser around. The last thing you want to do is go to bed with makeup still on your face. This one is made in Japan from hot mineral waters and 6 herbs that are good for the skin. It also came with a pure organic cotton cleansing pad.

 Booty Parlor Flirty Little Secret Perfume- .33oz value $22.00

This smells dark and sweet, a little too sweet for my taste but I'll probably apply it lightly because it is nice. I didn't feel sexy wearing it though. Honestly I think the whole "Pheromone" thing is gimmicky  and I fully believe that a person should wear a perfume because they like it and not what the label claims it can do. ;)

Total Value $102

Anyway that's my take on this box. 

See you next time!
