This month’s BeautyFix box theme was Au Naturale in honor of Earth Day. It featured natural beauty products with clean, fresh ingredients! BeautyFix is a monthly skincare, makeup, and haircare subscription box created by DermStore. A monthly subscription is $24.95 per box and a one-time box purchase is $34.95. Most items in the box are either full or deluxe sample size products.
Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash | Full-Size $10
I’ve tried a lot of Pacifica products with just okay results. This cleanser has a really nice sweet coconut smell and feel extremely light on the skin, but isn’t something I’d re-purchase (although it will be great to throw in summer travel bags!).
Sunday Riley: Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream | Full-Size $65
This gel cream treatment boasts hyaluronic acid as one of its ingredients which makes me so happy because hyaluronic acid is one of my favorite skincare ingredients! I just find anything with hyaluronic acid super hydrating without adding too much of that greasey feel you might get with other moisturizers. This cream feels very light on the skin and smells like cucumbers! Plus, Sunday Riley is a brand that I’ve never tried but always have heard good things about, so I love that BeautyFix included this brand!
Juice Beauty: Stem Cellular Moisturizer | Full-Size $70
The BeautyFix box almost always includes a Juice Beauty product each month, so for me, the novelty of this brand has worn off a little bit. Although I still very much enjoy the products I receive from Juice (especially because a lot of them are full-size!), I’m not the biggest fan of the signature scent they put on all of their products!
The Organic Pharmacy: Enzyme Peel Mask | Full-Size $79
This peel mask smelled like straight up orange juice - which was a pleasant surprise! The sample itself was tiny, so I was a little disappointed that I was only able to get 2-3 uses out of it, but I enjoyed the fact that it was a peel mask that didn’t make my skin sting like a lot of other peel masks tend to do.
Skyn Iceland: Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels | 4 Pack $15
Yeesss! This is one my all-time favorite eye gels! I’ve received it in numerous subscription boxes and am always so excited to use them again! Although my under eye bags usually aren’t too bad, I love how relaxing and luxurious putting on a pair of eye gels feels! These gels are super, super cooling, stay on for hours, and really help to relax and de-puff the under eye area.
This Works: Deep Sleep Pillow Spray | Full-Size $56
I’ve really been wanting to try a good pillow spray because I’ve heard so many great things about how they can help you get better quality sleep! This spray smells wonderful and I’ve enjoyed using it, but it was honestly such a small sample that I couldn’t really tell if the pillow spray really worked for me. I wish the sample they’d given was a little bigger!
HUM Nutrition: Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder | Full-Size $39
This superfood powder claims to provide beauty boosting nutrients and is something you can easily throw into a morning smoothie if that’s something that’s already a part of your routine! Unfortunately, this just isn’t the product for me - I’ve previously received superfood powders in other subscription boxes and to me, they taste awful!
Tammy Fender: Intensive Repair Balm | Full-Size $130 (!!!)
In this month’s box, subscribers could have received one of two products from Tammy Fender. I received the intensive repair balm. The name of this product makes it sound like a really heavy moisturizer but it’s actually much more lightweight than I expected! Although I don’t love the smell of the product, it works well and I’ll be happy to bring it along for a couple of trips I’ll be taking this summer!
I am always so impressed by the value of the BeautyFix boxes. With the price tags on these skincare products, you are getting way more than what you pay for the box! If you are a skincare junkie like I am, you really cannot go wrong with the BeautyFix boxes. Through these boxes I’ve been introduced to tons of new brands and products that I’ve really enjoyed and I always feel like i’m getting such a great deal on products that are oftentimes high-end and therefore, much more expensive than the $25 price tag of the BeautyFix box!
What did you think of this month's BeautyFix box? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Workout Outfit Essentials! ☼

Working out is always a little bit of a struggle (for lazy people like me! 😛) but I find that having a handful of go-to workout essentials makes it just a tad easier. I'm a huge fan of bright colors and workout gear is the best place to show off all of your favorite bright colors at the same time! There are tons of expensive workout brands out there that want to make you think that you need to spend hundreds of dollars on fancy workout gear but some of my favorite workout clothes come from places like Marshall's and Forever 21 - you can truly find great workout gear without having to break the bank! Below are some of my favorite workout essentials!
Bright Leggings!
I wear leggings pretty much 24/7 but I reserve my especially colorful ones for my workouts! One of my favorite places to get leggings is Marshall's because they always have tons of colorful leggings from about a bazillion different brands. If you're looking for more trendy leggings, Fabletics is also a great place to look!
Comfortable Shoes
I'm pretty frugal when it comes to workout clothes but shoes are the one area where I think it's worth the splurge! Nike is a great brand for shoes in tons of different colors & styles that are also super comfortable. I'm always able to find great deals on Nikes at outlet malls, too!
This might seem like a very minor thing, but I find that having fun hair ties makes working out in the early morning that much easier! Lately, I've been loving colorful ribbon style hair ties and old school scrunchies to throw up my hair :)
There are a lot of fancy workout zip-ups out there, but I've found that a cozy sweatshirt often does the trick for my workouts! I get cold pretty easily, so as soon as my workout slows down, I always feel a little chilly! Crewneck sweatshirts are my all-time favorite. They are super affordable (most of mine are $10 off of Amazon!) and come in every color of the rainbow!
A Water Bottle w/Straw
Last, but not least, a water bottle! I find that water bottles with straws tend to be best for workouts because re-hydrating during a workout is super important, but if you're bouncing on a bike or taking a pit stop between downward and upward dog, it's simply easier to take a swig of water out of a straw. Being the uncoordinated person that I am, if I don't have a straw, I usually end up pouring half of the bottle down my shirt instead!
Hope you all are having a wonderful start to spring! Thanks for stopping by! :)
H&M Sweater Obsessed!
Sweater: H&M / Bag: Kate Spade / Jeans: Forever 21 / Shoes: Payless / Earrings: Shop Miss A / Lipstick: Colour Pop Ultra Satin Lip in Echo Park

I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about how much I love H&M on here yet, but it’s never too late to start - I am obsessed! They had an amazing post-christmas sale which means I couldn’t resist grabbing a couple of their cozy sweaters 😃 If you are looking for basic, comfy sweaters that are affordable but actually still high quality enough to keep you warm, then you need to check these out! I picked up this fluffy burgundy one and I can’t get enough of the comfy-ness. 😃 Especially with the cold, snowy winters in Wisconsin, that little bit of coziness does not go unnoticed! What are your favorite pieces for staying cozy in the winter?
