And have you guys heard of the Beauty Fix sampling program? If you’ve been reading a while you know how much I love the New Beauty Test Tube program, well apparently this program is similar in theme (though a tad more expensive) whereby about four times a year you get to sample new beauty products for a fraction of the cost. I found out about this program yesterday from the gals who run In The Makeup (you can also see their full blog here). I’ve signed up and will report back in a few weeks when I get my first shipment, and let you know what I got and maybe you’ll want to sign up too!
