Allure Sample Society-- October 2014 Review

Sample Society is a monthly subscription service from Beautybar.com & Allure. It usually caters more towards beauty related products from higher end brands (this box didn't live up to that!) The samples are also usually deluxe to full sized.

I do have to say, I love the packaging. I have been able to reuse this box every month for something!

The Cost: $15/month (You will also receive $10 off %50 towards Beautybar.com

You will also receive a "mini mag" detailing the products and why they were chosen from the box. I think this is a great idea!

Ships: to US via USP

Emi-Jay Hair Ties--Value $6 

Never used this type of hair tie before, so I'm not too thrilled about this in the box, but I'll give them a try!

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara-- Value $16 

Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum--Value $15

I think, I may end up buying the full size of this mascara. Its wonderful, lengthens and gives lots of volume to my lashes. I  think its one of the better mascaras I've used in a long time. 

I haven't tried the serum, yet but I was very excited to get this in my box. Although, I was a little bummed when I realized how small it was.  

L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Shampoo & Conditioner--Value $1

Bond No.9 High Line--Value $1

These last two things made the box a little disappointing, especially the shampoo & conditioner only because this box has been known from higher end products. 

What did you guys think of this months box?

Allure- Sample Society September Review

Sample Society is a monthly subscription service featured by Allure & Beautybar.com. I really enjoy this box because all the sample are higher end & have all been deluxe to full sized sample! My favorite box by far!

Cost: $15/month

Whats in the box: 4-5 Deluxe to full size samples

Ships to: US

*Every month you will receive $10 off a $50 purchase to use at Beautybar.com as well!

Every box comes with a mini-mag featuring each item. I really love that this box because it comes with this min-mag detailing each item; price, description and why it was picked!

Restorsea Revitalizing  Eye Cream-- Full size Value $85

Eye creams are the best to receive, they are usually super expensive & I hate purchasing them on my own, so I was thrilled to receive this beauty in my box!

Tarte Brazilliance Marcuja Self Tanning Face Towelettes--Value $9

I don't think I'll use these, I would be afraid they would turn my face a weird color with my foundation. It's a neat idea though.

Givenchy Fragrance Dahlia Divin--Value $1

Not a scent for me, I'm not a fan of getting perfume samples anyway.

LORAC POREfection Mattifying Face Primer--Value $6

I love pore anything, so this will be used for sure!

Alterna Caviar Repair RX Re-Texturizing Protein Cream--Value $9.25

Never used this brand before, but I'm excited to try it out. I love getting hair product samples!

My thoughts: I'm happy with the value of this box, over $100 worth of products! I love almost everything in it, I'll get great use out of the primer, re-texturizing cream & eye cream!

I love this box, I actually use several things in this box already, so this was a great stock up for me! Some things I'm really excited to try out as well! 

Hopefully, you were lucky enough to get your hands on one too!

Can't wait until the next big beauty box.

Allure-Sample Society August review

Sample Society is monthly subscription box from beautybar.com and Allure magazine. I've received two boxes so far and both have seem to come with higher end products; I really enjoy this box, because you get deluxe to full sized samples! Plus I love the cute, glossy red box everything comes in.

Every month you'll get a "Mini mag" listing & describing all the products. It will also stated why the Allure editors picked the items for the box! (my favorite part)

Cost: $15/month

Every month you will receive deluxe and full sized beauty samples. Also a $10 off $50 to use at beautybar.com.

Ships to: The US

Kate Somerville- Dilo Oil Restorative Treatment - 01 FL Oz ($6.50) 

I love beauty oils! They work so well with my oily skin, which may sound strange, but you can fight oil with oil! Putting oil on your face (at night) helps prevent excess oils from coming through your skin throughout the day. 

Ciate Paint Pots in Cha Cha Cha- Mini ($6)

This is a vibrant neon orange, I'm excited to try this out, I've never used this brand before, but I've heard good things! Plus I love neon colors, great for the summer. 

Too Faced Melted Liquefied Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Peony- 5 ml ($8.40)

Jane Iredale Longest Lash Thickening & Lengthening Mascara in Black Ice-  3 g ($8.25)

I know I already love the Too Faced lipstick, I have the full sized version! It's a great long wearing lipstick with excellent color payoff! 

I've never heard of this brand mascara before, but I love mascara, you can never have too many! I love the packing, so different!

Oribe Surfcomber Tousled Texture Mousse- 2.5 Oz ($21.50)

I don't use mousse, so this will be give away. But WOW! This is super expensive mousse for the travel size!

My Thoughts: Overall, I'm very happy with everything in the box. I only paid $15 and I received over $50 worth of products to try out. I hope that future boxes continue to be this packed with great products!
