What: BEAUTYFIX

What It Is: A way to sample some of the hottest up and coming brands.

How It Works: For $50/quarter or season, you receive 8 products (mostly full sizes and a few deluxe sizes) delivered right to your door. And you can stop, start or put your account on hold anytime you want.

What We Think: This is a great way to try out products as each quarter's collection is over $400 retail value and you can report back your thoughts on their website, beautyfix.com. Here's what I received in this month's box:

REDPOINT Noc-Out Cover-Up Compact (full size)
PCA SKIN Purifying Mask (2oz)
AMARTE Aqua Veil Pure Hydration Serum (2.2oz)
AMARTE Natural Wonder Cream (.34oz)
JANE IREDALE 24 Karak Gold Dust (1.8 grams)
KRONOS 'Phyx' Overnight Repair Maskque (4oz) - can't wait to try this one!
MLAB Anti-Aging Treatment Cream (.5oz)
PERRICONE MD Firming Neck Therapy (.5oz)
SENSA Weight Loss System (.70oz)

Love finding a great mascara and as I’ve mentioned before, the formulas are getting better and better. MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Lash Mascara ($22 @ sephora.com) is part of the Back to Black Holiday Collection and is the perfect complement for a lush smoky eye look. The dense brush delivers the darkest black pigment to all your lashes and makes them thick. Sexy!

This next new brand is quite a bit of what it’s not. No synthetics, chemicals, parabens, suphates, artificial ingredients, petrochemicals or animal testing. In other words, these three products that make up the line are all USDA certified organic. REVOLUTION ORGANICS is laying out three products for us that all seem to be multi-taskers. Here’s the deets…

Lip Therapy Balm ($24/.5oz) – packed with vitamins, Shea Butter and nourishing oils to keep lips in prime kissing shape.

All-Over Body Balm ($28/.5oz) – claims 22+ uses like dry spots, cuticles, fly away hair, unruly eyebrows and even a makeup primer.

All-Over Skin Crème ($33/2oz) – contains 15 skin-feeding organic ingredients for wherever you have skin – legs, arms and even the face.

Can’t wait to see what this line puts out next. All @ beauty.com

I’m trying to decide if I’m a fragrance push over, in that, it seems like I am loving a lot of different fragrances that have come out this year. Well actually, let me rethink that, I didn’t like the new Chanel No. 5 scent. It smells like dish detergent on me! Not the usual fan of the powdery fragrances, but I am really loving this KENZO fragrance. FLOWER BY KENZO Eau de Parfum Spray ($85/3.3oz @ nordstrom.com) is a floral notes like violet and rose mixed with white musk and vanilla. An unual mixture to be called a floriental but it is and it has quite a following. It’s a little heavy so I recommend this one for eves.

Sunscreen is showing up in everything these days, which is good. Lipsticks, lotions and even mineral makeup has it. But here’s a new form – soap! I think this is the world’s first – BETHESDA SKIN CARE has created a Sunscreen Body Bar ($8/4.5oz) and it has a SPF 10. Like all of the products in the line, the founder created this one out of necessity. Luckily she schooled herself in chemisty and skin rehabilitation and all of the products are homemade so they have a dash of love in each not to mention over 50 vitamins! And she is expanding the line to lotions, toners and even haircare soon. So check back on bethesdaskincare.com in the coming months.
