Sample Society May 2015 Complete Spoilers

I just got my box today. I’m so happy that the perfume is a mini, that makes me love this box. I love it when it’s an actual mini instead of a sample spray, plus I collect the minis.

I got my box yesterday and must say I like this box much better than last month’s. The sizes ar so much better. I really like the perfume, wore it last night, really nice scent. Tried on the lip gloss, not much color but at least it isn’t frosty/shimmery. I tried the sleeping mask last night over a serum. It Goes on smooth, face feels moisturized. I’m looking forward to trying the alterna and the avene. The John Frieda I will pass onto my daughter since I have thick hair. Overall satisfied with the box this month though eventually will need to cut 1 of the 3 boxes I sub to 🙁

I love this month’s box!!!!! There perfume mini is a home run! Love the Julep Mini, the hair caviar, and the mist!!! I am curious about the water sleep mask! The only dud for me is the volume treatment because I have extremely thick hair, so that will be gifted to my mom. Love this box!

This box is great! I can’t wait to try everything!

I tried to sign up and they aren’t taking any subscriptions at this time. I wonder if they are struggling.

I just got my box, and I have to take back yesterdays comment that I just wasn’t excited about the box. The samples seem to be generous sizes, I know I will get a several uses out of the Alterna and Avene, and with summer coming the Avene seems to be a nice product to slip in the fridge and sneak a spritz just to refresh in the hot weather. I will also say that unlike others I like getting perfume samples, I don’t get to the mall much so I don’t get them for free, and I am always throwing out bottles with more than half left in them because I get bored with a scent quickly, and this bottle is a very nice mini replica of the full size, not just a small vial with a spritzer. That said I am in the end once again very pleased with the value of this box for $15.

I said I was going try and stick around for another month or so but I may cancel. Getting tired of pink, frosty, sheer lip glosses, tiny samples and so so products I also subscribe to beauty fix and boxy charm. After receiving two boxes from each sub I am overloaded with products that I need to try or swap so I may scale down to just boxy charm eventually

It’s funny last month was the only month that I kept almost every item, though the value was really low. This month every single item is going up on swap, but that’s fine too. So far I’ve really liked sample society. For 15.00 I either get items I will totally use or the value is totally there and I can swap for items I really want. The couple items I was really excited to try like the strivectin and the malin and Goetz I feel very bleh about after I tried them. And I would’ve paid full price for them eventually. And I have found a couple items I just adore. Like the illume candles and the Jane iredale products. So for now I’ll still keep sample society.

personally, I enjoy getting a variety of samples…plus, it used to be worse–I had SS a few years ago and there were a lot of foils and just stuff I would never dream of using. I don’t expect full-sizes for 15 dollars. I love the New Beauty Test Tube, and am sad that QVC has stopped carrying their version–that was a great set! It was also 40 dollars, plus shipping though. I am happy that after reading last month’s comments, I did subscribe to BirchBox, so I have that coming now too!! Thanks for enabling me, everyone! 🙂

For those that are canceling this subscription, I’d like to hear from you what subscription you are picking up in its place?

No morning after regrets for dumping this sub.

Does anyone know if subscription boxes usually do anything special for your birthday? Maybe an extra sample or anything?

With the exception of last months box this has been a great box for me. If you go to “my dashboard” on your account link they have a picture of the whole box. Looks like 3 are deluxe samples this month! I’m excited to try the mask!

I’m a HUGE fan of the water sleeping mask, and the I’m excited to try the Avene!

I wonder why they phased it out? Not making any money?

I’ve had this subscription for almost a year and there really was only one disappointing month: The shampoo/conditioner box. Other than that, I’ve really enjoyed this box and I think their product reviews are quite entertaining.
I really hope they are not stopping the box but I might be in the minority. If it’s just new subscribers then I have to say I am thrilled to be a grandfathered subscriber.
And lastly, I look at this box like Birchbox, It’s about the experience of finding new products. I don’t expect the world for $15.

Hmmm…I’m interested in trying some of the products. I’m hoping the pink lipgloss is also suitable for darker skin tones. I hate when beauty boxes include skin tone specific items. I already have two bright pink lip glosses, BB cream and foundation all meant for fair skin 🙁 I’m gonna stay subscribed to sample society another month and then maybe cancel to save money. This box seems better than April’s at least. Curious to see the sample sizes.

They are not cancelling for current customers. They are just not accepting new subscriptions.

I have been on the fence about canceling, but this just pushed me over the edge. Cancelled today. Samples are getting worse, and now they are no longer offering to new subscribers. Not worth the money.

Last month was my first time with them and they’re closing shop!?
They’re that first date who was awkward and not very handsome or interesting, but you give him the benefit of the doubt (maybe he was nervous!?) and suggest a second date, but he brushes you off like YOU’RE some kind of stage-5 clinger.

The Alterna is something I’d like to try. I wouldn’t mind trying the Avene. The lip gloss is not my color, but maybe I’ll try it. The Sleeping Mask has irritating botanical ingredients like lavender, and since I’m trying to get used to a retinol, that might not go well right now. John Freida is for a different hair type. Perfume gives me migraines. This is similar to last month’s box. Maybe a little better, though. We’ll see. I’m intrigued with the idea that the program is unavailable. Are they phasing it out?

Gee, no notice, just cancelled the program. How about a little customer service but allowing us to delete our data!!!!!

I just cancelled after seeing these spoilers; last month was a huge disappointment as I ended up being allergic to the candle scent (and fragrances are all a miss for me.) I had signed up for the new BeautyFix box when it was re-launched in March, and the values don’t compare ! I also only used the $10 code one time — yes, the shipping was FAST but nothing on BeautyBar is ever on sale ! and Dermstore ALWAYS has a sale.

I had no trouble cancelling when I had logged into my account. Received an email a few mins later to confirm.

Same here – I just went to the website and says in bold red letters “SORRY THIS PROGAM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE”. Have this discontinued this subscription??

I don’t sub to this box, but I can say that Laniege’s watery bank sleeping mask is AMAZING. I got a sample of it while shopping at Super H Mart and loved it so much that I immediately went back and bought the full size! It smells great and feels so soothing and moisturizing on my sensitive skin.
