BeautyBar Sample Society with Allure Box - March 2012

Hello, Everyone,

I subscribed to a new cosmetic/skin care monthly subscription service and I just received my first box. This is the very first box from Beauty Bar's Sample Society with Allure.  BeautyBar Sample Society is similar to Birchbox or GlamBag except it costs $15.00 (includes shipping) a month instead of $10.00 like Birchbox or GlamBag.

Membership to the BeautyBar Sample Society includes:

• 5 deluxe-sized samples from "luxury" beauty brands.
• $15 gift code to redeem on a $50 purchase - when any product from the brands you've sampled is included in your order.
• Expert beauty advice to accompany your samples from the editors of Allure (Mini Mag).
• A bonus one-year subscription to Allure magazine ($12 value).

Sample Society is not customized at this time and members do not have the ability to choose their samples. However, customization is something they hope to provide in the future according to their website.  Also, my credit card was charged the day my box shipped and I received it within 7 days, just like it promises on their website. I like that they charge my credit card on the actual ship date, rather than a month in advance like the GlamBag.

Contents included:

• Fekkai Advanced Glossing Cream - 1.6 oz
• Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Deluxe Sample - 0.45 oz
• SKYN Iceland Icelandic Eye Relief Pen - 0.14 oz (which is a full size product worth $20.00)
• REN Glycolactic Radience Renewal Peel Mask Deluxe Sample - 0.5 fl oz
• Oscar De La Renta Expirit d'Oscar Deluxe Mini-Rollerball - .1 fl oz
• Mini Mag

Unfortunately, due to high demand Sample Society is unable to accept new subscriptions at this time. However, you can sign up to be notified when they start accepting new members.

I think the value of this box is fantastic. The full size SKYN Iceland Icelandic Eye Relief Pen is worth $20 alone!! I haven't used any of my products yet since I just received the box yesterday, so stay tuned for a proper review of all the products.

Did you subscribe to the Sample Society?  If you did, what are your thoughts about it?

Take care,

Kat
