Sample Society: Beauty Bar Subscription Box Review - May 2013

One of my favorite things about the Sample Society is that they ship consistently at the very beginning of the month - May's box arrived on the 3rd!

The Box: Sample Society by Beauty Bar

The Cost: $15 a month (includes free year subscription to Allure magazine)

The Products: Deluxe and full sized beauty items.

Sample Society Subscription Box Review - May 2013

B. Kamins Vegetable Cleanser - 2 oz Value $11.35

Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Conditioner - 2 oz Value $5.62

I love the smell of the Olive Oil Fekkai Hair Products - this conditioner is going in my travel kit!

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream - .1 oz Value $1.28

Dr. Brandt Flexitone BB Cream SPF 30 - .25 oz Value $10

I wasn't too excited about this Yu-Be cream - only because I have a ton of these samples from Sephora orders. However, I was thrilled to see more BB Cream - I like this formula a lot, and my goal is to keep getting enough samples of BB Cream so I never have to buy a full size!

Jane Iredale Forever Pink Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain - (Mini) Value $4?

I think I have a few of these lip minis from subscription boxes - but I love them, so no complaints here!

 

Verdict: Two skincare products, two makeup products, and a haircare product - this Sample Society box was the perfect mix for me! The value was really good (more than double what I paid), but I'm actually used to the value being triple or quadruple what I paid - Sample Society has spoiled me!

I received the you-be skin cream which I love. The BB cream, the lip stain, a Bamboo shine mist and a tanning towel. I was very happy. Sample Society is my favorite due to the fact I always use everything I receive.

I haven’t purchased this box yet (I’m wanting to, though!), but I did receive samples from Jane Iredale a while back. The lip & cheek stain is amazing!

Eeek, that Yu-Be cream smells terrible and I swear it made my skin burn. Kinda reminds me of a vick’s vapor rub scent.

I’ve had my sub for 7 months and I’ve never gotten an Allure magazine. I remember clicking the box when I signed up saying that I did want the magazine as well. Sad face.
