You will also receive the “New & Classic Favorites Sample Set” (pictured below, a $50 value) which contains 15 samples, plus you’ll get a gift card good for either $20 off $100 or $50 off $200 on your next purchase, and you’ll get free priority mail shipping.

Beautyfix #1 Contents

beautybonus1 Comment

I received my BeautyFix box (very quickly after I ordered it, might I add) and wanted to share the contents with you. You can see a photo over on their web site, but this is what was included:

  • M Lab Anti-Aging Treatment Cream (0.5 oz)
  • Kronos K-Charge Phyx Overnight Repair Hair Masque (4 oz)
  • Amarte Aqua Veil Pure Hydration Serum (2.2 oz)
  • Amarte Natural Wonder Cream (0.34 oz)
  • Jane Iredale 24 Karat Gold Dust Shimmer Powder in shade Rose Gold (0.06 oz)
  • PCA Skin pHaze 9 Purifying Mask (2 oz)
  • Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy (0.5 oz)
  • NOC Out Cover-Up Compact (0.32 oz)
  • Sensa Weight Loss System 15 Day Trial
  • BeautyFix branded train case

Most of these products may not be from brands you have already heard of, but I’ve searched around online and they all are receiving rave reviews in the blogosphere. The retail value of this kit is huge compared to the $50 price tag (the 4 oz bottle of Kronos K-Charge Phyx Overnight Repair Hair Masque alone retails for $79. If you purchased the products separately at retail value I calculate the worth of this BeautyFix box to be approximately $359). The informational material included and the packaging are of very high quality, and also if you sign up on their site to review products you can get $25 off your first order (of any of the included brands) at glow.com. I can’t wait to try my new products and hope you have fun with yours if you choose to sign up. I can’t wait for the next edition!

Lancome is running mini bonus specials for the next three days from 11am-3pm EST. Today only with any $35 purchase you will receive free shipping plus deluxe samples of High Resolution Refill-3X Triple Action Renewal Anti-Wrinkle Cream SPF 15, Bienfait Multi Vital High Potency Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30, and Bi-Facil, plus you can choose an additional sample at checkout. Enter code DAILYSPECIAL1 at checkout, they are saying this expires at 3pm EST today. It looks like the freebies tomorrow are powder, blush, bronzer, and Magnifique (but I could be wrong so don’t hold me to that!).

And today’s new coupons:

Bliss Spa coupon: Free shipping on any $50 order. Enter code 029907 at checkout. Expires February 28.

Clarins coupon: Purchase any new Bright Plus HP Product and receive deluxe samples of Bright Plus HP Firming Brightening Essence and Bright Plus HP Protective Day Lotion SPF 20. Enter code BOTANICAL at checkout. Expires March 4 or while supplies last.
