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.
Everything about this post is going to be kinda shitty and subdued. It is not a good day for me.
Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $40
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $4
This does not smell good for starters. I don’t really love Josie Maran products. This actually sunk into my skin really nicely and didn’t leave me feeling greasy. To be honest though I have so many face creams that this one is just pulling me to use it as hand cream because I like how it made my hands feel after I applied it so that is what I am going to do with it because I make my own rules.
Rahua Freestyle Texturizer
Full Size: 105 ml
Full Size Cost: $34
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $1.62
I rarely use texturizers and when I do I only use sprays so this cream one I’ll never use.
Caudalíe Vinoperfect Essence
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $42
Sample Size: 5 ml
Value: $1.40
I have the matching serum to this so I am going to pair these and see what kind of results I can get from them using a matching “system”.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Makeup Removing Gel Cleanser
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $25
Sample Size: 7.5 ml
Value: $1.25
This smells just like the mist which I love it smells so good and spa like and really makes me happy. I have to go away for the week for a funeral so I am going to take this cleanser so I can have a little happy scent boost at the end of the day.
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy in Dream
Full Size: 4.3 g
Full Size Cost: $26
Sample Size: 2.2 g
Value: $13.30
I only like the advanced therapy line of their balms because the other ones are super messy on the lips but this is nice and sheer pink so it should work out fine. I also always love the packaging because it feels like metal and the cap screws on. This is also a great size compared to everything else so far. Swatched Below.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Paaarty
Full Size: 5.6 g
Full Size Cost: $29
Sample Size: 1.5 g
Value: $7.77
Two Tarte products that it kinda interesting. I don’t use blush but this is a pretty light pink. Swatched Below.
You can barely see either of these shades on me sorry. These colors are just very light.
I feel like the sizes and value really sucked this month. I’m not unhappy with the products just the sizes they are extra tiny this month.
