Sample Society by Allure May Beauty Box

So this Beauty Box by Allure's Sample Society used to be one of my favorite boxes but I found that while I loved some boxes others were not that exciting which I know, I know is all part of the sample box idea but still...
The one thing that I can say is I have tried some super spendy product samples that I wouldn't typically have the chance to. This is my last beauty box by Allure. I decided after every person in my neighborhood, not to mention my bf and mailman started to inquire if I had a problem shopping online, that I would cancel a few of my subscription boxes. While I enjoy getting multiple exciting boxes, packages and surprises each day I have acquired so much stuff that I literally don't know what to do with it all. I was also starting to get crossover from box to box which really bummed me out.
On that note I wasn't that please with this box which made it that much easier to say goodbye. I'm sure I kick myself next month when it is some super fantastic box that only come once in a lifetime (like my kick ass ipsy box I got this month). 

In this box: Alterna Bamboo Shine Luminous Shine Mist, this is like the 50th bottle I have gotten of this and I don't even like it, it's one of those products that you have to use sparingly and carefully and I don't have the ability to do anything carefully or sparingly. 

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream, again with the overkill on this product. I give this to my boyfriend who seems pleased with it but he also puts olive oil on for moisturizer. 

Dr. Brandt Flexitone BB Cream, I get the BB cream, time saver and all but I'm more of a ritualistic skincare and make-up gal. I like the whole 2 hours it takes me to apply all my layers of lotion, serum, primer and all. 

Jane Iredale Forever Pink Just Kissed Lip & Cheek, I am just not a huge Jane Iredale fan. I have yet to try anything that I thought was great from her line. I do like self adjusting lip color. 

Kate Somerville 360 Tanning Towelette, I love Kate Somerville and all she does. I love this product. Yay!
