Beauty Bar's Sample Society.

Here it is! My first Sample Society Box arrived via UPS this afternoon and I am kind of in loooovvveee. So what is Sample Society? It is very similar to Birchbox which I also subscribe to. One main difference between the two is that Sample Society costs $15 a month while Birchbox charges $10. I really do think I got my money's worth here. The sample sizes are on the bigger end which is always a plus. I really hate getting samples where you literally get three or four drops and that's it.  So lets dive in shall we? i cant wait for you to see what I got!
The packaging...


Look at my loot! Love all the crimped paper filling too. :)


They call this a "mini mag" I will call it a pamphlet...Inside you will find your monthly products listed  along with beauty tips and tricks that correlate with what you got in your box. Also, as pictured above, you get a code to enter if you buy any full size product that you may have fallen in love with in sample form. Spend $50 and get $15 off....which makes your  box free! 


Alterna Boho Waves Texture Mist
I absolutely love this stuff. It's the first thing I tried and  I cannot wait to order a full size. I don't have naturally curly hair so this gives me more of a tousled look. Actually it makes my hair look like I have been swimming in the ocean all day and frolicking on the beach, and I kind of love that. So when I want something different then the every day stick straight style I usually rock...this will be my go to hair texturizer from now on! 


Murad Clarifying Cleanser
I have heard and read so many good things about Murad so I am pretty excited to use this cleanser. I am even more excited about the size of this sample I will actually get to use it for a while and see what it does to my skin. 

Caudalie Premiere Cru Eye Cream
To me this stuff seems real fancy. Mainly Because everything is written in french. The only  english on the tube says  "Use morning and night, working from inside out" uhhh ok. I guess thats all i need to know. 


Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip Plumper
This little lipstick is so cute, it's just so tiny. Anyways its not highly pigmented so it took a few swipes for it to really show on my lips. I f you have used a lip plumper before you know that tingle that comes with it. This plumper has that same tingle. 

Oscar De La Renta: Live in Love
So happy with this! Before I even smelled it I was already smitten. Its such a pretty little bottle...and I'll say this again I am so happy with sample society because of the sample sizes! Perfume samples always come in those tiny little glass  test tube looking things. This is such an upgrade! The fragrance is floral and I don't know how else to describe it but to say its really feminine. I will be wearing this, I like it a lot!

The goodies one last time...


I am really happy with this box and with it being my first, it has really left a good impression. Did I mention that if you sign up for Sample Society you also get a one year subscription to Allure Magazine? Not to shabby eh? here is a link to check it out or sign up
