My Beauty Obsessions

Beautyfix #4 Contents

The fourth Beautyfix is shipping now (I’m anxiously awaiting mine). According to their website you will receive 9 of these 14 products. By my calculations if you got all 14 the retail value of this Beautyfix would be over $500 (so the value of your kit will vary depending on which products you receive). You can purchase this for only $49.99 plus $6.95 shipping (total = $56.94). Beautyfix #4 includes these products:

  • 3Lab Perfect Foaming Cleanser (full size, 3.4 oz, exclusive to this kit)
  • Bella Bronze Olive & Grape Seed Extract Tinted Sunless Tanner for Face (full size, 2 oz)

As I was writing this the Estee Lauder site was still offering five samples with any purchase (and two of the samples are Re-Nutriv, the serum and the hand cream). I’m not sure if they’ve extended it for the entire day today or if they could end it at any minute.
