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.
Not my favorite box ever everything was kinda the same in my box I got one of the crappier variations in my opinion.
Verb Ghost Oil
Full Size: 2 oz
Full Size Cost: $14
Sample Size: 0.57 oz
Value: $3.99
I actually already own this and I love it so I don’t mind getting a duplicate. This really is a weightless shiny hair oil it does not weigh down my hair. I used it in Florida and it really helped combat frizzy from the humidity. Look how cute that little ghost is, I love him.
Josie Maran Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm in Etheric
Full Size: 0.5 oz
Full Size Cost: $32.96
Sample Size: 0.1 oz
Value: $6.60
This is functions as both a primer or a finishing balm. I don’t really know how well this would work over foundation but I think It would be really pretty all over when you aren’t wearing foundation but want some glow. It has a shimmer almost duochromatic sheen to it that really is very ethereal.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Full Size: 10 ml
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 2 ml
Value: $4
Who hasn’t tried this? This is like the OG eyeshadow primer that every one has used. Yes this is what I use every day but come on Sephora step it up give us a sample of a new and different eyeshadow primer that we don’t all have samples of from Ulta already. Any way it’s a good eye shadow primer there are others I feel like they all kinda do the same thing.
Benefit Watt’s Up Highlighter
Full Size: 0.33 oz
Full Size Cost: $30
Sample Size: 0.08 oz
Value: $7.27
I was not expecting to like this but boy is it pretty. And this is the largest Benefit sample I have ever gotten normally they are super tiny. This is a very pretty champagne cream highlight very glowy a little glitter but very easy to blend out. Swatched below.
Glamglow Glowstarter in Nude Glow
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $49
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $6.86
So this was odd. Very hydrating, not sure why it has shades because there is no color this I could see really being an oil slick on my face so I don’t really know how I plan on wearing this yet, It is super glowy though.
Left is the Glowstarter and right is the Watt’s Up.
Atelier Cologne Clementine California
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $75
Sample Size: ~1.5 ml
Value: $3.75
I love this this is an amazing brand of perfume they are mostly unisex and are so amazing smelling so fresh and real. Their citrus scents like this on are my favorites. This is a nice bright orange scent.
Not my favorite box, overly dewy is not a look I ever do but I will use this box to try and branch out and try something out of my normal comfort zone. I am not impressed at all with the eye shadow primer I really look to these boxes to be new and different. I feel like a lot of the other box variations were better than mine, my box felt very one note a got three nude/translucent glowy face products that is very one note to me. Definitely one of the worst boxes I have received from them. I am still happy with the value for what I pay and most I not all the products will get used up so I do not feel like it was a waste just not exciting.
