Sample Society - January 2015


Sample Society is here once again and actually showed up pretty early this month (I'm just pretty late about posting). This month wasn't necessarily a surprised since there were tons of spoilers out by many bloggers and I actually wasn't bothered by that since I'm always so curious. All I can say is, this month is gonna be a great one! Each month you're guaranteed five awesome deluxe size samples and a $10 BeautyBar.com giftcard to redeem on any $50 BeautyBar purchase for only $15 a month (to the US only, shipping included). 


Pictured above is the mini mag for this month detailing all of the amazing samples featured in this month's box. It's a helpful guide for learning more about the products. 


Here's a peek into this month's box!


StriVectin Intensive Illuminating Serum
Erno Laszlo Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar
Zoya Lacquer in Tiana
Philip B. Light-Weight Deep Conditioning Créme Rinse
Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Lid + Line + Lash in Peach Prism
Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar

Talk about amazing! Two full sized products have been featured once again and I couldn't be more grateful for that. There's always a bit of judgement from me due to my picky habits but I've gotta admit that this box isn't half bad at all.

I've always wanted to try a StriVectin skincare product because of the great reviews I've read from many bloggers and customers and I'm super happy to finally have that chance to add it to my skincare routine. It also turned out to be a bonus item this month so woo-hoo to that!

The Erno Laszlo soap bar is so cute and tiny. It's actually a pretty great size to use on my face and the scent isn't a strong one. Definitely hoping to see a change in my skin soon.

I always like receiving polishes from brands that I know I won't splurging on any time soon. The Tiana color is great for the spring since it's a minty pastel. Sort of reminds me of pistachio (although I hate anything pistachio flavored). 

I've never heard/tried any Philip B. products and honestly the sample is probably only great for one use due to my thick hair and I can already tell you guys that I love the scent!

The Revlon eye art is one that I don't mind having but will also be passing along to a friend. I'm not all too excited about it since it is a drugstore product after all but it's great that it's full size. The colors would look great on me but I already have a couple of products that I would prefer.

Last but not least is the Philosophy moisturizer. I've actually received a little foil packet sample of this moisturizer before directly from Philosophy so it's great to have one in a tube that I can use on the go. It's lightweight and works well on my sensitive/combination skin.

Overall this Sample Society box may not have topped last month's but it's definitely a great steal with a value of over $50. This is still great considering that the subscription only costs $15 monthly. Can't wait for next month!
