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 and 50 extra points if you purchase something in store and now online too.
Some stuff I am excited about and some stuff I am less then excited about.
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
Full Size: 125 ml
Full Size Cost: $29.50
Sample Size: 3 ml
Value: $0.72
This is my favorite way to remove eye makeup I love this product so so much. This little sample is probably not exciting to most people but to me I am thrilled because now I have this tiny little thing to take on vacation ad I don’t have to take my bigger travel size jar. A little of this goes a long way so this should last for at least a weeks worth of make up for me.
Clinique High Impact Mascara in 01 Black
Full Size: 0.28 oz
Full Size Cost: $19
Sample Size: 0.14 oz
Value: $9.50
Repeat brand and repeat item alert they have definitely sent this before. I don’t like Clinque mascaras they do nothing for my lashes leaving them kinda flat and not pretty looking.
Make Up For Ever Step 1 Mattifying Primer
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $37
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $6.17
They have sent these primers before but not as recently as that mascara. I don’t need any more primers in my life and the primers I have tried from Make Up For Ever were nothing particularly special in my opinion.
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment
Full Size: 4.3 g
Full Size Cost: $26
Sample Size: 2.2 g
Value: $13.30
Another thing I’ve gotten in Play! before but this i really like so it gets a pass. This is a really nice feeling lip balm on the lips but it absorbs so quickly so you use it pretty fast because it is such a soft formula. I love how even the minis have the same packaging as the full size that nice metally plastic with a top that screws down so it doesn’t come apart in your pocket or bag. This clear one has an almost sweet lemon scent/taste but very faint.
GlamGlow Good in Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream
Full Size: 45 ml
Full Size Cost: $54
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $9
This is a very thick soft cream it really coats the skin. It smells nice like passionfruit and feels super soft on the skin but it is heavy and I don’t know how my skin is going to get along with that on a long term basis.
Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream
Full Size: 60 ml
Full Size Cost: $58
Sample Size: 7.4 ml
Value: $7.15
So this weirdly smells like beer to me. I guess they were going for like a day cream and a night cream but I don’t like that there are two moisturizers in the same box. That said this is more suited for my skin it is much lighter in texture and absorbs alot faster. Feels nice and light and a bit cool on the skin too.
So many repeats. Ugh I hate that. I am happy with 4 of the 6 products but 3 of the 6 are repeats.
