Woo hoo! Sample Society is here once again, and it has arrived pretty early this month too. Sadly this will be my last box since school is closely coming to an end and summer is coming up! There's a chance that I may resubscribe in the future so don't worry! Lately I haven't been too impressed with these boxes so I'm hoping for the best this month. Each month you're guaranteed five deluxe 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 featuring all of the samples in this month's box. It's a helpful guide for learning about each featured product. (P.S., I'm loving the model's makeup!)
Here's a peek into this month's box!
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil
Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream
Benefit Cosmetics The PoreFessional
Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip Plumper in Rio
Mt. Sapola Lavender-Chamomile Body Lotion
Illume Tonka Noir Candle
I don't believe I've sampled anything that is featured in this box so it's nice to have some newbie products!
I've heard of the brand Bumble and Bumble mostly from Sephora but haven't had the chance to try any of their products. I've been seeing a lot of hype lately on the invisible oil mostly for it's ability against heat damage so I'll definitely be giving this a try.
You all should know how much I love Marc Jacobs' fragrances. Daisy Dream isn't one of my favorite but it's a lovely floral scent that's great for spring/summer.
Benefit Cosmetics typically make great products, especially when it comes to mascaras. As for the PoreFessional, it's a pretty decent makeup primer that doesn't make my skin too oily. I'll most likely use this sample for my eyes when it comes to eyeshadow and keeping it in place without creases.
I'm not a fan of lip plumpers so this sample will be passed on. However, for those of you who want to know more about it, the color is a sheer brown and apparently it feels as soft as a balm!
Now isn't this just the cutest little jar of body lotion? I've gotta admit that the scent is strong and probably would be best if used at night as a bedtime routine. It's rich but light enough to use throughout the day if you wouldn't mind smelling like lavender and chamomile.
Last but not least is the Illume candle. I love the tin that this candle comes in! It's great to have propped on your desk or in a small corner. The scent is light and I can't really make out what it is but I can tell you that it is warm and floral-y.
Overall this month's Sample Society box was interesting but wasn't the greatest hit ever. The value also wasn't there considering the turn out ended up being about $16 worth of products. For $15, that's definitely a total miss and it's even worse that this is my last box for some time. I truly hope that future month's have great turn outs for those of you who are still subscribers!
