Sample Society Mystery Boxes are Back!

 

BeautyBar has brought back the Sample Society Mystery boxes. (Thank you Samaria and Karol for letting us know!)

FYI - these boxes are put together with samples from past boxes, so if you've been subscribing to Sample Society for a while, you can expect getting some repeats.

Also, you can save $25 off a purchase of $100 or more with coupon code FALLCARE14

More enabling advice here: throw in a bunch of stuff that you need anyway from soap.com (like paper towels and toothpaste), and if it adds up to $49 you get free shipping.

Already received my box. Thought I ordered an a and b box but I got 2 a boxes. It is what is listed up above. I like box but wanted a butter London polish

Yes, am a member of the naughty/addicted club. I ordered two of each box and used the code for the $25 off as well as the code for the extra gift of 20 products.

They said it will be here tomorrow—amazing!

I just subscribed and ordered both $25 sampler boxes! So excited and got free shipping automatically for ordering $50.

I know this is bad, enabling advice, but anyone considering spending $75 or more can also apply code beautybar0814 for an additional 20 item mystery sample pack according to the ladies on MUT.

I just ordered 3 boxes using the code “beautybar0814” but when I was checking out it wasn’t listed on the receipt? So I guess I’ll see if I get it.

The code is BEAUTYBAR0814 in all caps, and it will show up in your cart.

Emily

It showed up on my receipt. I would definitely contact CS.

Angela

NOOOO! I did SO good at avoiding this temptation, then you came along with that, lol. I caved! Oh well, thank you! I will be one happy girl later this week…

Joanne

I’m so weak!! I caved and got it too. I have so many products right now but I still can’t resist these offers. At least with Sample Society I know I’ll be getting good stuff. Won’t fall for Julep/Bare Essentials/That other one that sucked bad, again lol

Emily

Sorry, Angela! I caved, too. I ended up buying four of the $25 boxes, used the $25 coupon code Liz suggested, used the beautybar0814 code, and applied the $10 code from my Sample Society subscription box… 80 samples for $65 plus tax. I will be swimming in samples tomorrow. I am so ashamed!

Britney

Just got my boxes in last week with the mystery pack… Well worth it. I got $600+ worth of itens for $75 please tax. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself!! 🙂

Vanessa

Anyone who gets the biggest boxes, can you post what you got? I purchased the last offer of the A and B boxes for $25 and I want to get these but don’t want any repeats!

These were the A and B boxes I received. http://imgur.com/a/MsHEn

A few doubles in the boxes, but I’m mostly using them as Christmas gifts so that’s not an issue with me.

Robyn

Thanks for the code. Splitting 2 boxes with a friend and got 2 full size bliss lip glosses for only $3 with the code! So excited!

Has anyone done this type of mystery box before? I would love it if I could receive the too faced melted lipstick or some of the other awesome samples I have seen Liz review. Another part of me feels like it may be similar to a Julep box where you only get horrible colors and almost out of date items. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks 🙂

Brooke

I got two $25 boxes last month and was thrilled with the value and variety! Not like Julep at all.

The only reason I’m not doing it again is because I haven’t worked my way through those samples yet 🙂

See Liz’s last post about SS Mystery Boxes… a few people – myself included – listed all the contents.
