FYI - the photo collage is of full-size products, not the actual sample sizes. What do you think of the spoilers? I'm pretty excited - I love all things Alterna, and I was already excited about the full size Restorsea eye cream!

Really enjoyed this article, I have read full of your article. This is really informative. But I like Givenchy Cologne, it’s really awesome. You can try it.

Hi Emily
I would recommend beauty DNA. It’s a sub just for skin,body and hair care.
You fill out a detailed profile, and then you’ll get one-two items in one of the 3 categories. The cost is 25 and it’s a great value items are double if not triple the price

I’ve gotten a $125 eye cream and a $96 serum from Beauty DNA in the past few months. So sometimes (not always) the items are 4-5 times the price of the sub!

I’ve been wanting to try this and it looks awesome but I didn’t see this till today. I prefer the skincare over makeup are there any boxes that primarily focus on skincare and/ or haircare with just a little makeup that anyone can recommend?

Omg! I was a day to late to sign up. The 3 items I’m happy about are awesome. The two I’m unsure of but willing to try are the perfume and tanning cloths. If anyone has an extra box to sell please contact me. This is really bothering me, I was a day too late in the hospital. I would love this box.

The only thing I’m not happy about in this box is the perfume. I really wish sub boxes would quit sending perfume OR allow people to elect not to get any. I’ve hated every sample I’ve ever received. Other than that, I’m pretty stoked for this box. Especially the full size cream. I prefer this box to other boxes because the sample sizes are better in general. Can’t wait to get this one.

I ordered this box when I saw the eye cream, because I have been looking for a good one. The only other product i’m excited about trying is the alterna product. Everything I have ever tried from them has been fantastic, and I love hair care products

I was so excited by the eye cream spoiler that I ordered 2 boxes (so I can give an eye cream to my mother)! The rest of the spoilers may not be as exciting but they’re still good– I’m super happy with this sub and this box.
I know some people prefer makeup over skincare. For me, makeup is cheaper to buy than eye cream or face serum or what have you so those things have more value to me… and also there’s a limit to how much makeup I can actually physically use. I give away so many mascaras, lipsticks, nail polishes, etc to my sons’ girlfriends because I could never use it all. So I love the creams and such – I go through a facial serum sample way faster than I go through an eyeliner.
Of course, I’m old…

I’m more of a skincare person too when it comes to the subscription boxes. I cancelled this month’s shipment and then saw the hair cream and tried to signed back up a day too late. I was trying to be good because I still have eye cream I need to finish. I never can have enough hair products and that is perfect for my hair.

Hi Pa Anna,
Try emailing them, they might bee able to still send you Septembers box.
Good luck

I temporarily cancelled to not get this box. The brands are great, but perfume and tanning products are not something I use, I have an abundance of primers, and the other 2 products just don’t excite me (even with the epic value).

This will be my first box and I am excited!

I have been looking for a mattefying primer this week so I’m so excited to try this out! I wish there was at least one makeup item, but I’m satisfied with the box.

Thanks for the shoutout! 😀
It’ll be interesting to see what the reaction to this month’s box is – as it’s less make-up heavy, and more geared towards skin care. Reminiscent of the “old” Sample Society.
Personally, I’m thrilled with this box. I rarely wear make up, and my coloring is so tricky – lets just say neon oranges and chalky pinks don’t work for me. I’ll use everything in this box except for the tanning towelettes, which can be easily gifted.

Yes it does say you after subscribe before the 5th to get that months box!!
They don’t charge you until the 1st of the month.
I ordered two boxes after I saw the first spoiler!
Even tho it’s all skin care I’m still excited for the box. I’m liking the new SS a lot . So much better, bigger size samples 🙂

I contacted them via facebook and they are sending me a september box, yay!
Violet
They mention that you must sign up by the 4th of the month to get that month’s box 🙂
