December 2015
I just received my 1st BeautyDNA box. BeautyDNA is a beauty subscription box that wants to end products that don't work for you. BeautyDNA
was created to solve this exact problem. It is not another subscription
box that gives you the chance to sample
groupings of products. BeautyDNA is smart,
savvy and makes discovering beauty products easy
and personal. They have one goal:
To deliver you FULL-SIZED beauty products that
you’ll fall in love with. To do this, they harness complex beauty
factors and scientific information, and then match it
against your specific needs and preferences. In
fact, their system analyzes more than
100 million data points to identify each and
every perfect product match they send
out. BeautyDNA is personalized for YOU! All of
this is just $25 per month.
BeautyDNA is designed so that you never get the same product twice. Additionally, they never deliver products from any of their core categories (Skin, Hair, Body) in consecutive months. Taking it one step further, the system is built so that subscribers do not receive a product type (i.e. shampoo, conditioner) more than once over the course of a year.
When you join, you fill out an extensive beauty profile. This profile was by far the most exhaustive beauty profile I've ever experienced. You select the types of products you want to try, for skincare, body, and haircare as well as what concerns you have. For example, for hair they ask if your concerns are aging hair, dandruff, dry hair, split ends, dry scalp, fine hair, hair loss, and/or product buildup. You also select your preferences for ingredients and what areas to treat. For example, I selected natural, paraben-free, and sulfate-free products.

In the Box
Every box comes with a report on why they selected the product. My product this month was My Body myHERO Probiotic Ultra Rich Cream.
BeautyDNA stated that they selected this for me as its anti-aging but
good for skin that is sensitive and has redness. According to the My
Body's website, the cream has "intensive bioactive moisturizing cream
with Topical Probiotics,
antioxidants, skin tighteners and a heroic complex of plant derived
growth factor peptides helps correct and protect a compromised skin
barrier while reducing redness to visibly bring youth, vitality and
radiance to excessively dry, aging, hormonally depleted, and sensitive
skin.
Box Value: $145 This box was worth $145. Tremendous value for a beauty subscription box that costs $25.
My Review of My Body myHERO Probiotic Ultra Rich Cream:
This cream is just that, a cream. It was super thick and I worried
that it would cause a break-out. I am happy to report that it never did
cause my skin to break-out. It is ultra-moisturizing so its been nice
for the winter. I haven't noticed a difference in redness yet, but it's
only been a few weeks. My skin is nicely moisturized.
Box Value: $145 This box was worth $145. Tremendous value for a beauty subscription box that costs $25.
I was very happy with this box and look forward to my next BeautyDNA box.
