Dr. Brandt: Pores No More Luminizer Primer // Retail: $38

It seems like every month there's always a full-size product included in BeautyFix. This month, it was this primer from Dr. Brandt. Although I really enjoy this primer's texture, I'm more of a matte foundation person and won't get a ton of use out of a luminizing primer. Plus, I actually previously received this in a Boxycharm. If you're subscribed to more than one beauty box, you do often receive multiples of the same products.

Murad Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil // Full-Size: $72

I've tried a couple of different products from Murad (another frequent BeautyFix brand) and have enjoyed all of them! I really like this oil because you only need one tiny drop to cover your entire face and has a very light, inoffensive smell (unlike some of the other oils I've used).

Juice Beauty: Stem Cellular CC Cream // Full-Size: $39

I was really excited to receive this product because I am a huge fan of cc creams! Anything that minimizes the number of steps I need to do in my make-up routine is great for those days where I'm running short on time! Compared to my other cc creams, however, this product was just way too thick and didn't offer very good coverage. I still ended up adding foundation to the mix just to get some more coverage on red spots so this is not a product I'll end up re-purchasing.

Replenix: Plumping Lip Treatment // Full-Size: $36

Lip plumping seems to be a huge trend lately - I am now the not-so-proud owner of 4 lip plumping products that I do not need! My lips are already pretty big as it is, so lip plumpers are just not a product that I need in my life. I still decided to test out this lip treatment, but the smell was super artificial and if you get any of the product outside of your lip line it does tend to burn so overall, this was just kind of a dud product for me.

Dermablend: Loose Setting Powder // Full-Size: $27

I've received this product in a BeautyFix before (BeautyFix Aug 2017) and really enjoyed it! It's a nice setting powder that is super, super fine and just completely mattifies everything on your face! I'm excited to have received this product again, but a little disappointed that it's a repeat!

Tocca Beauty: Giulietta Eau de Parfum // Full-Size: $72

If you've read my reviews before, you'll know I am not a fan of receiving fragrance samples! I'm super picky and so most fragrance samples are just wasted on me! I might have to eat my words, however, because I loved this fragrance. I didn't love it enough to buy it myself, but without really thinking about it, I used up the entire thing in a week!

VMV Hypoallergenics:  Smart Moisturizer for Combination Skin // Full-Size: $32

I love changing up my moisturizers so BeautyFix is the perfect subscription for that! This moisturizer is designed for combination skin which is perfect for my skin!

Skinceuticals: Discoloration Serum // Full-Size: $98

This serum is a the newest release from skinceuticals (a brand that is often featured in Beautyfix) and it was a nice thin serum with almost no smell - it almost felt like water on the skin! The reason I mention this is because I've had mixed feelings about previous skinceutical samples smelling weird or having strange sticky textures. So far, I haven't experienced any of that with this sample!

Peter Thomas Roth: Mega-Rich Body Cleanser // Full-Size: $20

Another commonly featured brand in BeautyFix, I was super excited to receive this cleanser from Peter Thomas Roth. I have a nice little sample pack of their face masks and thoroughly how high quality and thoughtful their products are. This cleanser smells amazing and I'm excited to be able to throw into a travel bag for some upcoming trips!

Neuma: Neumoisture Instant Fix // Full-Size: $26

I credit BeautyFix with jumpstarting my interest in hair care and each month, they continue to fuel this new obsession! I don't take super good care of my hair but since I started subscribing to BeautyFix, I've really enjoyed a lot of the hair products they've included and I think my hair is pretty happy about it! This serum comes in a nice spray bottle and I've been enjoying using it on the ends of my hair to help my split ends.

Fillerina: Dermo-Cosmetic Filler Treatment Grade 2 // Full-Size: $165

This product is a topical hyaluronic filler but I have to admit, the packaging kind of scares me. The serum itself is nice and cooling, but packaging it in what looks like a needle is misleading! I'm still at a point in my life where I don't feel that needles are necessary in my skincare routine, so I'm not a huge fan of using a product that looks like a needle - despite the product itself being fine as a serum.

Shop BeautyFix May products: 

This month a lot of my other subscription boxes are on the brink of getting the axe, but not my BeautyFix subscription. I'm still extremely impressed by the value of each BeautyFix box - I definitely think I'm getting my money's worth! Each month there's always at least one full-size product that is worth the value of the box and it feels like every sample on top of that is just an awesome bonus. Although I didn't love every product in this month's box, I'll still be able to use all of them and love getting to try different skincare brands to see what products work for my personal skin needs!

What did you think of your subscription boxes this month? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
