Hi everyone!
It’s time for my monthly Sample Society review!
A bright, red box to brighten my day!
This mini-mag is the first thing I see when I open my box.
It has details on each product and an explanation of why the Beauty Directors picked them to be featured in the box.
Box Contents:
- Mt. Sapola – Lavender-Chamomile Body Lotion
- Jane Iredale – Just Kissed Lip Plumper – Rio
- Benefit Cosmetics – The POREfessional
- Bumble and Bumble – Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil
- Marc Jacobs – Daisy Dream
- Illume – Tonka Noir Candle
Mt. Sapola – Lavender-Chamomile Body Lotion
I just applied this lotion, and I don’t think it’s for me. The scent is VERY strong!
The curators are aware of the strong scent though! I read the mini-mag and laughed when the writer very bluntly said that this product is not for everyone! I’ll see if any of my friends like it!
Apart from the scent, I really like this lotion. It is very quick to absorb and doesn’t leave a residue.
Jane Iredale – Just Kissed Lip Plumper – Rio
This is the smallest lipstick sample I have ever received! The canister is super small but also super cute!
Even though the cannister small, there is a lot of product inside.
When applied, there is a little bit of a tingle but not too much!
Rio is a light brown shade and isn’t quite for me. I prefer rosier colored lipsticks.
Benefit Cosmetics – The POREfessional
I use POREfessional everyday, so I am very pleased to receive this in my box!
I’m quite surprised with how many Benefit products I’ve received in subscription boxes recently! I got some in my last Sample Society box and in my last POPSUGAR Must Have. No complaints from me though!
Bumble and Bumble – Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil
I have thin hair so I’m a little worried about adding oil to my hair. After reading the mini-mag though, I have decided to give this oil a try!
The mini-mag says this oil is good for all hair types. It also says that it smooths flyaways. I have quite a bit of those, so I will definitely be giving this a try in the near future!
Marc Jacobs – Daisy Dream
I’ve gotten a sample of this perfume somewhere else before. I can’t seem to remember where though. Perhaps it was a Sephora freebie? Or maybe Ulta?
I like the smell of Daisy Dream when it’s sprayed into the air, but I don’t think I’d like it if it was sprayed on me.
I’ve never worn perfume before, and I would be quite overwhelmed if I started.
Illume – Tonka Noir Candle
I absolutely LOVE this candle! It smells great and the packaging is adorable!
I can’t find a specific scent anywhere on the package but the Allure mini-mag says their are notes of mandarin, plum, rose, jasmine, tonka bean, musk, sandalwood, and Madagascar vanilla. That’s a lot of notes! All I can say is that it’s a calming and soothing scent!
I definitely wouldn’t mind a full-size of one of these candles!
My second month of Allure Sample Society was great!
I can’t wait to see what month three has in store for me!
Do you subscribe to Sample Society?! What do you think of the April box?
