Hello Everyone,
It's time to show you my Beauty Bar Sample Society Box for September. I've been a subscriber to this box for seven months now and I have really enjoyed every box. If you are thinking about a monthly subscription to try, I suggest this one.
So....on with the show. Here are my products for September.

| Beauty Bar Sample Society Box - September 2012 |
Stila Cosmetics Smudge Crayon in Smoke– Full size, $22.00
A three-in-one gel-based eye primer, shadow, and liner that glides on with ease and stays in place until you say when.

What it does: This advanced, creamy, multi-pearl formula is infused with emollients for smooth, comfortable application. It provides rich, bold color and more than six hours of continuous wear that won't fade or crease over time.
I did a swatch of this on my arm. It went only smoothly and has a very intense, rich color. I’m looking forward to using it. I haven't used it yet so I can't attest to the six hours of continuous wear.
Diptyque Eau de Toilette Fragrance – Full size, $120

| Diptyque Eau de Toilette Fragrance |
This is a spicy scent with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. I read that this scent is good for both men and women. I would say that’s true…when I first put it on, I thought it was a men’s cologne. It softened on my skin after a few minutes and then completely disappeared after a few hours.
Borghese B Gloss in Fiore – Full size $18.50
This gloss contains vitamins A and E with aloe vera and oils of avocado and jojoba to heal damage and protect lips for optimal lusciousness.

It glides on smoothly and is a shimmering shade of purple-mauve. Nice color for autumn. It says it has all day staying power. I haven’t used it yet, so I can say if it does or not. I just know that I’ve never found a gloss that lasts all day.
AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask – Full Size $30
 |
| AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask |
I received a sample of this mask in a previous Birchbox, so this is my second sample. I've used is several times. It’s a nice, deep cleanser that left my skin soft and smooth. It has “soothing, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties with the benefits of Horsetail Extract”. Yikes…what the heck is that???
Cellceuticals Extremely Gentle Skin Cleanser – Full size $35
This cleanser is a mild cleansing agent without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). It has Wheat Amino Acids that provides skin moisture and soothing properties.

| Cellceuticals Extremely Gentle Skin Cleanser |
This is, in fact, a gentle skin cleanser. When I wash my face with my regular face wash, the water in my sink turns very cloudy from all the makeup. When I washed my face with the Cellceuticals my water remained almost clear. I didn’t think it took much of my makeup off at all but when I used my toner there was no makeup on the cotton pad. So, it worked much better than I thought it did. It didn’t remove the eye makeup as easily. It did not irritate my skin and didn’t leave it feeling extremely dry. The scent of it is horrible! It smells too medicinal. The consistency of it is clear and very runny so it’s easy for more product to come out then necessary.
Overall, I'm really happy with all the products I received. Please let me know if you've tried any of these products and what you think about them.
Hope you are having a fabulous day!
Take care,
Kat
