Beauty Fix


The Pink Mixer was recently given the opportunity to check out BeautyFix.com. The concept behind this site is simple. Once you've signed up and filled out a profile - your skin type, hair style, etc. - you're able to "shop" (with just the simple click of a mouse! Behold the power of the internet!) and pick out beauty items to be delivered right to your door.

Here's what I liked: Well, it's shopping for beauty products! What product junkie doesn't enjoy that? It's fun to peruse the "shelves" of products and decide what items you might like to try.

Here's what I didn't like: The majority of the products stocked at the site are brands with which I was unfamiliar. While I'm all for finding new lotions and potions (clearly) there's something that makes me a tiny bit wary about selecting creams and makeup and products without having the chance to pick them up and decide in person if they're right for me. Call me old-fashioned but I enjoy a tangible product when I shop.

The flip side, is when I did receive my box o' hand-selected goodies from Beautyfix, I was pleasantly surprised by all of its contents. The colors and shades of make-up I selected were true to what the website showed and I've been nothing but pleased with the products I've been using thus far.

But here's the best part of my review. For once you DON'T just have to take The Pink Mixers word for it! You can, ahem, get your OWN fix...and try BeautyFix.com yourself and if you can enter the code: BFIX1 you'll receive $30 off the $49.99 price and get free shipping! (And really, who isn't a sucker for free shipping these days?)

Average Price: $49.99 (Before discount)
Rating: 3 out of 5
