Sample Society - December 2014


Would you look at that, the last Sample Society box of the year has shown up! This month the entire box was revealed by many bloggers across the blogosphere so I couldn't help but take a peek since my past boxes haven't been all too exciting. Well I can let you know now that this box definitely will end the year with a bang! Each month you're guaranteed 5 deluxe size samples and a $10 BeautyBar.com giftcard to redeem on any $50 Beauty Bar 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 samples included in the box. This is a great helpful guide for learning more about a specific product.


Viola! Here's the first peek into this month's box.


RGB Nail Polish in Oxblood
Crabtree & Evelyn Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Therapy in La Source
Butter London Lippy Tinted Balm in Mush
Burberry Beauty Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in Nude Radiance
Estée Luder Advanced Night Repair Eye 

How exciting?! A full size bottle of RGB polish is definitely the charmer. Sadly I'm not too fond of dark colors for my nails but I'm sure one day I can switch it up a bit before winter is over.

I always did like lotions that came in packages similar to these. The size is small but it's enough to keep in my backpack on the go and the smell is great! I remember seeing this brand around so I think I'll grab some for gifting.

I absolutely love Butter London products (especially their polishes) and I couldn't believe this is also full size! The lippy tinted balm is interesting because it surely looks like a lipstick but it's actually quite smooth but I still don't think I'll consider it a balm. The color I received was a slight coral/nude color which doesn't look bad on my lips but I would have preferred one with a red tint. 

The luminous fluid base almost reminds me of the Benefit Cosmetics Girl Meets Pearl sample I received from Birchbox a very long time ago. It's much smaller in size and also a bit more watered down but I love the shimmer. A little goes a long way with this product and when blended it looks amazing!

Last but not least the Estée Lauder Night Repair Eye is a sample that I'm grateful for but didn't exactly need in my beauty stash at the moment. However, I'm sure it'll come in handy down the line when I absolutely need an eye cream especially in these winter conditions. 

Overall this is by far one of the best boxes I've received from Sample Society since I've been a member. With a value of over $70, I couldn't be happier since the subscription only costs $15. I'm surely happy I stuck around this month but I definitely can't wait for next month!

xox.
