I love to see what people get in their beauty subscription boxes as much as I enjoy sharing the contents of what was in mine. This post is all about the June BeautyFIX box from Dermstore. I received this month’s box a few weeks ago and immediately tore it open to reveal the contents. This is only my second box from them and I was slightly disappointed when I saw the contents. There were six sample size products right before my eyes. I don’t sign up for these boxes and pay good money for sample size products.
A little background on the BeautyFIX box… These are monthly subscription boxes that cost $24.95 per month if you sign up for a subscription. If you prefer to pick and choose which boxes you purchase as a “one time” thing, then the cost is $34.95 per box featuring full and travel-size products worth at least $100. You can see what I received in last month’s box for a better idea of the variety of contents.
BeautyFIX June 2018 box includes:
- Alterna CAVIAR Anti-Frizz Blowout Butter (0.85 oz): a hair smoothing cream that banishes frizz and provides heat protection. My hair needs this one pretty badly. It has been so hot and humid at my house that I get terrible frizz if I don’t use a flat iron.
- jane iredale LipDrink™ Lip Balm – Flirt (.05 oz): a moisturizing lip balm with sunscreen protection in a sheer, peachy pink shade. This shade is gorgeous and the formula feels light on the lips.
- Shaveworks Cool Fix (1 oz): a soothing, gel lotion that treats the ingrown hairs, redness, razor burn and bumps associated with shaving and waxing. I’ve tried this in the past. This will be good for travel.
- Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (24 ml): a highly moisturizing body lotion that quickly absorbs into your skin. I haven’t tried this yet, but I do hear good things about it.
- Juliette Has a Gun Moscow Mule Eau de Parfum (1.7 ml): an eau de parfum made with citrusy, woodsy and floral notes for one unforgettable aroma. I don’t care for this scent I’m very particular about my perfumes.
- Dermalogica Bio-LuminC Serum (.10 ml): a vitamin C face serum that brightens skin and slows signs of aging. I will keep this for future use when I run out of my current vitamin C or I will save it for travel.
Imagine my joy when I took out the small size products and discovered that two FULL SIZE products lie beneath the crinkle paper. These saved my opinion of the box in about 10 seconds!
- Colorescience Sunforgettable Brush-On Sunscreen SPF 50 – Medium (0.21 oz): a brush-on mineral sunscreen for the face, neck and hands. I’m impressed that I received the shade that is my match. I actually reviewed this sunscreen way back in 2014. I loved it then and I still do no! This sunscreen retails for $65.
- Nia 24 Sun Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen Protection SPF 30 (2.5 fl. oz.): an oil-free, mineral sunscreen to protect against sun damage. This sunscreen retails for $49.
The two full size products are mineral sunscreens. I’ve used the Colorescience brush on one many times in the past and really like it, especially for touch ups on-the-go. I also like to use it as a setting powder. The Nia sunscreen is a new one to me and I look forward to giving it a try.
As you can tell from reading this reveal, I was skeptical of this box at first glance. Once I realized that I had two full size reputable sunscreens in the box as well as the samples I flipped my opinion to being impressed. The box was definitely worth the $24.95 that I paid for it. I think of these samples as a little bonus. I will use everything except for the perfume sample. I honestly wish companies wouldn’t include them in their beauty boxes.

I didn’t know they have beauty boxes too, thanks for the heads up
Yes, and I think that’s why they have good contents is because they already sell so many great brands of beauty products. Stacie xo

This is a new to me box and it looks like a good one. The sunscreens, alone would have delighted me. The brush on in fair, tho… lol
Yes, I was delighted with the sunscreens too! I’ve many good boxes from this subscription from others in the past so I’m crossing my fingers that it stays good. Stacie xo

That box was totally redeemed by the sunscreens! I love the Brazilian bum bum cream but the scent is too heady for me, it gives me a headache 🙁
Yes, I agree about the sunscreens making this box worth it. I haven’t smelled that cream yet and strong scents give me a headache too. Now I’m curious to give it a sniff. LOL! Stacie xo

Everyone is talking about the Bum Bum cream so that’s a great item. The two sunscreens are excellent. I’ve used Nia before and enjoyed it. And I so agree with you about the fragrance vials. I’ve had them spill in the packaging from other companies and it ruins the experience for me.

Wow, at first I thought this box was a little pricey, but it’s really not for what you get! So many great products in there.

I think that’s a great deal, especially based on a full size Colorescience Brush-On Sunscreen price. And, you get all the other stuff too. If every month is this great, then I would love to try the subscription.
Yes, I agree with you! The sunscreen products in the box made it a fantastic value. This was just my second box. The first was meh, but this was one was great. Stacie xo
