July Sample Society Box!!!

Hey again, I am on a roll, 2nd blog post in 2 days!!! While I was on vacation I received my Sample Society box for July! Thankfully my Dad came by that day to check in on my fur children so he brought it inside! I am thrilled with the box this month!!! So without further ado here is what I got.

This is how the box comes! I really love the sturdy boxes and pretty silver tissue paper that I can use for gifting or storage!

On top of the products underneath the tissue paper is the Allure Magazine monthly beauty guide, these are so nice.

And then under the guide we find the products all nestled in their confetti bed. The packaging is great nothing moves or gets jostled!

The first product in the product guide is the Borghese Tono Body Cream. I am a sucker for body cremes and lotions and this size is perfect to throw in my purse. It is really really thick so a tiny bit goes a long long way. The scent is very nice not really really heavy which I like, there is nothing worse than the scent of your lotion overpowering your perfume. The sample worth is $4.34.

Second up is VBeaute Eye Never Nourishing Repair Eye Cream. I don't know what it is about eye cream but I love it, I just wish they weren't always in such tiny tubes when you get them as a sample. This stuff is very nice, I have been using it since I got home on Friday and I can definitely tell a difference in my dark bags under my eyes! Hopefully this sample will hold out long enough for me to find some that I like. The sample worth of this is $5.61.

 

Facial Moisturizer is something else I am a sucker for I use it 2 times a day normally. This is Sisley- Paris Hydra Global Intense Anti Aging Hydration creme. I know it is anti aging, and I know I am only 26, but its never to early to start worrying about things like wrinkles, lol. This stuff is nice, it goes on rather well and doesn't make my skin oily at all! The sample worth of this tiny .14 oz sample is $25.00, yes you read that right. The full size retails for $250.00. Personally I will never spend that kind of money on a face cream, but its really nice to try it.

 Next up is a Vincent Longo Duo Lip Pencil. This my dear readers is worth getting sample boxes, its Full Size!!!! As you can see the colors I got are White Glimmer and Sangria. Only problem is that I don't use lip liner, but a little known fact is that you can use lip liner as eyeliner too!!! I used the Sangria color last night when I went to go see Magic Mike, because you know I wanted to look pretty for the hot guys on the movie screen, LOL, it all made sense in my head. It goes on sooo smooth and the color is awesome, not to red but not to brown!!!! The worth of this product is $26.00!!!!

Last but not least is Jouer Cosmetics Luminizing Moisture Tint SPF 20. I received the shade Bronzed, which I am tan, but definitely not bronzed by any means. I swatched it on my hand just to be sure and though it blended in quite nicely it was way to dark for me. So, what I have decided to do is start collecting really cool samples like this that I can't use to at some point giveaway to one of my lucky blog readers. I am not sure when I will give the samples away, but it will be awesome! The sample worth of this is 3.80.

So, what do you guys think? Definitely worth the $15.00 that the sample box costs? I think so, the total worth of the whole box is $64.75 this month.

*please remember I am reviewing these products honestly, I spent my own money purchasing them*

June Look Bag! Makup Bliss!!!!

I have been a bad bad blogger. Last week I received both my June Look Bag and Green Grab Bag. I took pictures and edited them all... And then, I didn't post a blog about either. So today y'all will be getting a double blog. I will get the second one up later this evening.

With that said! June's The Look Bag!!!!!

This is how it comes in a bubble envelope. I like it, but I wish they were reusable bubble envelopes, green is an effort all around.

I love the bag everything comes in! The organza cinch top bags are awesome for tons and tons of different things from gifting to storage!!!

As with most all other sub services you get a card that gives you a monthly greeting, theme and tells about the products that are inside. This month the theme was June Beauty Boom, they really were putting an emphasis on taking care of your skin during the summer, very good sage advice!!!

The first product, #1 on the card is Atopalm Intensive Moisturizing cream. I haven't tried this yet, but it will be nice to take this little tub along with me on vaca because I will be out in the sun a ton and in the water so I don't want to get dried out! The sample value of this is $2.20.

Next #2, says it is Snowberry Cellular Regeneration Night Cream, but what I was sent is Snowberry Intensive Renewal Face Serum. I am really glad I got this instead of the night cream, I have tons of that. For in the morning this is amazing!!! It has a slight smell of oatmeal, which I like, and it goes on and soaks in perfectly, dries quick too. It leaves your face feeling very very fresh! The sample value of this serum is $22.26. Just for giggles, the sample value of the night cream would have been $8.56 for the same size sample.

 

#3 on the card is Korres Eyeshadow. The color I received is Golden and it is part of the Sunflower Evening Primrose line. I am in love with this shadow! The pigment is amazing and really gives a lot of color!!! I have worn it several times now by itself. You can use it lightly for an all over color and then it can be layered more for a deeper pigmented color! This is a full sized product!!!! The price for one of these are $13.49.

The #4 item is this liner sharpener made by Prescriptives. I really like when boxes send out tools like this! This sharpener can put a point on both fat pencils and when the insert is placed small pencils! I had to estimate the price of this because I could not find this sharpener for sale on the Prescriptives web site. My estimate is around $2.00.

The Last product that comes in a Look Bag is a personal product that is chosen just for you based on your beauty profile. I received this Too Faced Sparkler Glamour Gloss in Violet Vapor. I like this gloss, but there are some aspects of it I am not a huge fan of. I love love love the color, the pictures do not do it any justice at all. It is a iridescent light purple white and other colors sparkle. I like the packaging. I also like how it comes out with the wind up, I do not like that you can turn it both ways and have to hold the bottom to twist up the top, I have been turning the wrong way a lot. I also do not like the feeling of it on my lips. It is very very grainy, not cool. This is another full sized product and the price is $9.99 for a tube.

So, all in all great bag! I am definitely going to stick with the Look Bag if they continue to send products of this level and variety! The look bag costs $10.00 a month. This bag was worth a total of $49.94. Not bad for $10.00.
