The lovely Christina Jones (www.christinaloves.com) turned me on to the latest and greatest when it comes to sampling programs. Actually, to label Beautyfix as just a sampling program isn't giving it justice. Here's how it works:

You sign up to become a member at Beautyfix. Four times a year, members are mailed several full size or deluxe travel sized must-have beauty products (not teensy trial sizes) hand-picked by Beautyfix's top beauty industry experts. These experts range from dermatologists to plastic surgeons and famous estheticians/makeup artists. The best beauty bloggers are included in the mix as well. As a member you are a part of this great online community where you can share in forums and swap opinions/tips/tricks. Members also get free gifts and special pricing on the products you will inevitably end up loving.

The cost for these quarterly deliveries? Under $50. I spent some time pricing out the Beautyfix delivery I just received and I about fell over when I realized it would have cost me around $300 to buy all of those products!

Over the next week or two I will be reviewing each of the Beautyfix products, which include:

3Lab M Cream – deluxe travel size

Bella Bronze - self tanner - full size

Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque – full size

Global Goddess iDivine eyeshadows - full size

Glowelle Beauty Drink Mix - pomegranate or raspberry – 7 day supply

Kerstin Florian Aromatherapy Neroli Water – deluxe travel size
