Cost: $10.00 monthly + tax
Cycle: Every Month
What is it: Every month our favorite money sucking store Sephora sends out a curated box of higher end samples to try out. Every month you receive 5 samples and a perfume sample. The boxes are customized with a few different variations being sent out each month.
There is a small survey that Sephora has you take that helps Sephora curate a box to your needs. There is also a card included in the box for a complimentary mini makeover (which are complimentary any way so I don’t really get that) and 50 extra points if you purchase something in store.
So I updated my profile to include anti aging thinking I might get some cool eye creams and that was clearly a mistake. It threw me in way to deep lol. Definitely need to remember to change it back.
Elizabeth and James Bourbon
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $85
Sample Size: 2 ml

I didn’t like how this smelled so it got passed along. A little too deep and rich smelling for my tastes.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Perfector Blurring Skin Tint in Shade 08
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $36
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $6
This is not a terrible shade match definitely will work in the summer and sheering it out and some powder probably work now it is rather sheer. I may have gone a shade or two down it is hard to judge. I have had good luck with Make Up For Ever foundation so this is great.
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Moisturizer

This is certainly ultra light like it is describe it felt super nice on my had I am really worried to put it on my face though I have not had great experience with Philosophy products they don’t do well on my skin.
Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate

I am super excited to use this as an eye cream I love Kiehl’s but they are so expensive.
Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel
Full Size: 16 wipes
Full Size Cost: $88
Sample Size: 2 wipes

I like that we got 2 treatments making 7 items this month. I don’t know that these are right for me. So I don’t know if I’ll use them or pass them on.
Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss in SPL
Full Size: 7 ml
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 1 ml
Value: $2.86
Yay a lipgloss *sarcasm* this isn’t as sticky as other lipglosses but still not for me. These just launched this month so it is really cool that they sent it out in the box.
There is no color to this shade just iridescent shimmer.
Overall the sample sizes are very small this month and the value was really crappy this month. Overall not satisfied this month.
