Sample Society June 2015: A Day At The Beach

The Final Box!

Unboxing & Review! 

As many of you may know, this is the final Allure Sample Society Box being sent out through BeautyBar.com. And, with the lack of creativity and great products since January- I don't think this could have come a month too soon.

 

Let's have a look!

 

 

 

The Haul!

 

1. St. Tropez Self Tan Express:

Sample Sized at 50 ml (Approx. $11.00). Full Sized list at 200 ml for $44.00

 

I never use self tanning products. I turn orange. This is useless to me and I can't fathom why it is part of a beauty box. But, I get the idea that they want to go with the whole beachy thing. It's just not for me.

 

 

2. eSalon Perfect Ending Leave In Conditioner:

Sample Sized at 29 ml (Approx. $2.90). Full Sized listed on eSalon for $15.00 for 150 ml

 

Although I will use this and it smells awesome, I'm a bit peeved that Sample Society put a trumped up price for the product in their booklet.

 

 

3. E.L.F Studio Small Stipple Brush:

Full Sized! Listed at $3.00

 

Although I love getting makeup brushes, I like to try different ones and a typical E.L.F brush that I can pick up a couple blocks from my office just doesn't excite me. But, I am happy to have a new brush to try. So, I'm 50/50 on this.

 

4. Lauren B. Beauty Nail Couture in Polo Lounge Punch:

Full Sized! Listed at $18.00 for .5 fl oz

 

This is probably my favorite item in the box. A full sized nail polish in a really cute color. This is a win!

 

 

5. Completely Bare Wax Strips for Face, Bikini, and Body:

Sample Sized at 4 strips, may worth under $1?? The full set seems nice though with at lot of strips for $12.99

 

This feels like a throw away. I would be hesitant to have so few on hand in case I screw up. 

 

 

6. Cotz Face Sunscreen SPF 40 in Natural Skin Tone:

Sample Sized At .18oz (Approx. $2.40). Full Size listed at 1.5 oz for $19.99

 

Effing Cotz. I am SO sick of these Cotz samples. I can't use them and I seem to get like one a month. Maybe they're on the way out of the beauty box world since they've really been everywhere. That won't be a moment too soon.

 

 The Final Verdict!

Box Value: Approx $38.00

 Box Score: 4/10

Final Thoughts:  I'm really intrigued how Allure is going to handle doing Sample Society from here on out. I was getting more and more disappointed with my sample boxes over the past few months and I could tell that obvious changes were going on. Let's hope for a bright new future with the new incoming sample boxes!
