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.
Omg it has seriously been a hell of a fucking month. Everything has gone wrong and clusterfucked up and its been miserable. Feels like I haven’t had ten seconds to breathe which is why I haven’t posted anything in like over 2 weeks. Things have just been fucking miserable and I have had so many big life changes and crazy shit and AHHH but enough about that. Cuc this isn’t an apology just a hey life got out of control and blog/Instagram had to take a break.
I was really meh about this month. So let’s dig in.
My Burberry Blush Perfume
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $90
Sample Size: 2 ml
Value: $3.60
This is like a rose scent and I am allergic so this was a no go for me. Not much more to say. Reason one this box was meh.
Sephora Ultra Shine Lip Gel in Perfect Nude
Full Size: 0.11 oz
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 0.1 oz
Value: $10.91
We got this in a different shade last November
I don’t know why but that majorly annoys me so reason 2 this box was meh. I don’t like lip gloss but my mom will love this so yay for easy stocking stuffer but. I don’t mind getting differnet shades of the same product over the course of a year but something about it being in the same month twice bothers me. That is just a weird idiosyncrasy of mine probably not an issue for anyone else. Also not swatch because this is a gift.
Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $49
Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $16.33
Reason 3 this box is meh at no point has my profile said I need moisture of any kind. Let alone SOS high moisturizing anything. ugh.
Origins Clear Improvement Mask
Full Size: 100 ml
Full Size Cost: $27
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $8.10
This is a half a meh I like this mask but I just got it in the October Macy’s Box. I know that isn’t Sephora’s fault and it does fit my profile so it gets half a meh.
Moroccanoil Treatment
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $34
Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $6.80
So I have had a sample of this before but I can’t remember from where. I really love this stuff and am excited to have it again this was my first higher end hair oil and started my obsession with hair oils. They have really worked wonders for my hair in terms of sleekness and manageability. So this is like an aw nostalgic product and my favorite thing in the box for that reason.
Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara in 10 Noir
Full Size: 0.32 oz
Full Size Cost: $26
Sample Size: 0.17 oz
Value: $13.81
This is the most exciting product in the box it has a fluffy natural bristle want which is my favorite but the formula looks a little wet which I am not a fan of. I really wanted to try this for Thanksgiving but I am trying to be good and not open too many mascaras at once I have like three or four open right now and that is plenty.
Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by a subscription box. Hehe least I make myself laugh. Probably because I am having a shitty month but I felt bored annoyed and unhappy with this box this month. Sorry Sephora but you get a no from me for November here hoping December is just better all around.
