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.
No bugs this month! Yay too bad I got the shittiest version of this months box I didn’t get any of the product options I wanted. Most of these products won’t even work for me.
Fresh Rose Face Mask
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $25
Sample Size: 15 ml
Value: $12.50
I am not even going to open this. I am very allergic to roses so I can’t use this at all so this is a total waste to me. I really wanted the pore pudding from Boscia that many people received and that my beauty profile says would be appropriate at no point have I ever indicated that I need hydration on my skin.
Clinique Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser
Full Size: 4.2 oz
Full Size Cost: $19.50
Sample Size: 1 oz
Value: $4.64
I always love Clinique skincare so this is probably the most useful thing in the box to me but I don’t really enjoy the pep-start line. I find it to be a little weak in its effectiveness. The grit in this is a little rough but still good.
Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture Dream Come True Wonderful Deep Conditioning Mask
Full Size: 6 oz
Full Size Cost: $32
Sample Size: 1.25 oz
Value: $6.67
The way this needs to be applied it will only be good for one use. It will get used but its kinda like ok cool another hair mask sample. I get so many of them. I have a feeling that even at my driest this mask will be way to heavy for my hair.
It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara
Full Size: 0.3 oz
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 0.1
Value: $8
Staple or not I think every one who subscribes to boxes is sick of black mascara. I never need to buy mascara again with how many samples I have. But really I haven’t had to purchase a mascara in over two years. They at least could have sent a new or interesting mascara this one has been out a while. I am guessing at the 1/3 size but that is fairly standard for a sample mascara from It Cosmetics.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Color Splash Lipstick in Set Sail
Full Size: 0.12 oz
Full Size Cost: $21
Sample Size: 0.035 oz
Value: $6.13
This is a nice mauvey nude color it is hydrating but it feels very thick and rick on the lips which I’m not personally a fan of. The color is nice though.
Guerlain Mon Guerlain Perfume
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $66
Sample Size: 0.7 ml
Value: $1.54
This is a very fancy perfume from a very fancy brand. It smells alright a little more floral and mature then I go for.
Another fail month from Sephora for me personally they sent out plenty of awesome products but not were sent to me this box was not suited to my tastes at all. I won/t get a lot of use or enjoyment out of this months box.
