Sample Society Subscription Box Review - November 2013

Sample Society is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription service. I'm always impressed with the value of this box, and the quality of the products included. If you're looking for a subscription box that is a good mix of makeup and skincare, I highly recommend Sample Society!

Sample Society Subscription Box Review - November 2013

Each box comes with a card detailing the items included for that month. This month's theme is Winter Wonders.

Sample Society Subscription Box Review - November 2013

Borghese Splendore Brightening Makeup - FULL SIZE! Value $29.50

Jane Iredale Mini Lip Drink Lip Balm - Value $4

At first I thought this Borghese brightening makeup was a deluxe sample size, but it's the same 1 oz size as the full size version, just different packaging. This product gets great reviews, and I can't wait to try it blended with my CC cream.

Illume Balsam & Cedar Candle - 1 oz Value $3

Eau D'Hardien Perfume - 1.75 ml Value $3

This candle smells like winter and holiday time - I love it!

Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture - .25 oz Value $10

I'm most excited about trying this product - it gets great reviews on Sephora, and it's free of harmful ingredients like phthalates and parabens!

Verdict: I paid $15 for this box (plus tax I think) and I received about $50 worth of products. I'm never that excited about perfume samples in boxes, but everything else in this box is a win for me! I'm definitely pleased with the value this month!

What did you get in your November Sample Society Box?

I received the following:

– Jane Iredale Lip Drink Lip Balm $ 12
– Borghese Splendore Brightening Makeup $ 29.50
– Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien Eau de Toilette $92
– Murad Anti-Aging Acne & Pore Minimizing Hydrator $49.50
– Illume Balsam & Cedar Metallic Tin Candle $23.50

I have the Murad Pomegranate Pore minimizer and really like it. I can’t wait to try this one. The scent of the candle is nice, not over-powering. For $15, this subscription is such a deal!

This box never seems up to par for 15 dollars… It’s samples you can get at your local ulta store. I may give it one more month then I’m over it….

I absolutely LOVE Murad products!! Haven’t tried their moisturizer yet, but if it’s anything like they other items I’m sure it’s excellent.

I received the same exact box! I love the borghese and the candle! I use the borghese as a highlighter so my face doesn’t seem too shiny. And the candle… It smells amazing! I’m pretty picky with candle scents but this one was spot-on.

I just subscribed to this box and I JUST missed November’s. It looks AMAZING. I’m really hoping December’s is just as good.
