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.
And another meh box from Sephora I don’t know how but they always seem to send me the box I want least from all the options I don’t get it.
Make Up For Ever Artist Face Color in B302
Full Size: 5 g
Full Size Cost: $23
Sample Size: 1.3 g
Value: $5.98
This is a satin finish peach blush if you’re a blush person you’d probably like this blush it is really smooth and light in color so you can build it up. There is not place for this in my life. I can’t even use it as an eyeshadow it is just two light of a color. Swatched Below.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Kristen
Full Size: 4.5 g
Full Size Cost: $16
Sample Size: 2 g
Value: $7.11
This is a really pretty color I wish it wasn’t a gloss. I can’t do the stickyness on my lips just no. This has the oddest paddle shaped doe foot applicator that I’d be curios to try out. I think I have to see if they have this shade in a liquid lip or lipstick that I could do. It is a nice mauve nude shade. Swatched Below.
Gloss Moderne Clean Luxury Masque
Full Size: 120 ml
Full Size Cost: $65
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $3.79
This product is like a serious WTF why are you so expensive product. My first gripe is they sell travel packets that are 9 ml so why is the sample pack 7 ml like don’t be so damn cheap gives us a full travel pack they both are foil packets just the same. I am sure it costs the company more to produce this alternate size for samples then for just making extras of the ones they are already selling. Also this did nothing for my hair. I was so excited at first because it does smell awesome it smells like sweet luxurious coconut and felt really nice on my hair. Then it did nothing for my hair no shine, no added softness, not frizz reduction nothing.
Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream
Full Size: 15 ml
Full Size Cost: $26.50
Sample Size: 3 ml
Value: $5.30
I like the price of this eye cream that seems fair to me for an eye cream. I don’t love the applicator it feels to big and awkward under my eye so I use my fingers. It is a little sticky under the eye but does feel like a nice eye cream for the one time i used it definitely a good morning cream it sinks in fast. I’m cool with the tiny sample because I tend not to like the pep-start line this is also perfect size to finish up in like one vacation so after that vacation I’ll have a good feel if I like this or not. So check in next months empties for a more in depth review.
Glamglow Supercleanse Clearing Cream to Foam Cleanser
Full Size: 150 g
Full Size Cost: $32
Sample Size: 15 g
Value: $3.20
So I saved the two products I am excited about for last. I have wanted to try this cleanser but it is a ridiculous price for a cleanser. I like cream to foam cleansers so as soon as I finish up the one I’ve been diligently working on for like a year now.
Boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $34
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $6.80
This is one of those chemical peel things that like balls up all the dead skin on your face. This was a little more gentle then I wanted but that is ok. I have really oily skin and it can get really grubby and dull sometimes (Yes gross and terrible I know). I wanted a little more exfoliating out of this but it is a great gentle chemical exfoliator I am a fan but I don’t think I will buy it.
So two things I really like one that I’m content with and 3 that just are not for me. Once again this month seems a little lackluster. Nothing was like wowing me, even a bigger size of one of the products would have made this a better box even if it was a product I didn’t like.
