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!

BeautyBar Sample Society April Box

BeautyBar has once again provided me products I've never heard or or knew I wanted. If you haven't signed up, use code BB4SS2013 to get your box in 1-2days!

What's in my box?

Borghese Gel Delicato Makeup Remover- .5 oz- Value about $3.50

I love Borghese products! I was a little miffed at first because the tube says make-up remover so I'm thinking a lotion or something but it's actually, "The first step in the cleansing process, Gel Delicato is a lightweight, oil-free makeup remover gel". Who knew I was missing the first step of my cleaning routine! 



B. Kamins Nia-Stem Moisturizer Kx- .5 oz- Value almost $40

I have never heard of this brand but for $125 for a full size bottle, I'd expect it to work miracles. 

CoTZ Face Natural Skin SPF 40- Freebie- Worth a couple bucks. 

Hanskin Hydro Sheet Mask (20ml) 1 sheet - Value $3.50

You have to leave this mask on for 20 minutes and it's one of those masks that lays on your face so it's not as if you can move around while you wait. I prob wouldn't purchase this unless I saw a serious lift. 

Jane Tran Bobby Pin Set- Value $4

These are freaking adorable! I will totally use these some day when I'm not to lazy to do something with my hair. 



Red Flower Italian Blood Orange Moisturizing Body Lotion- Value $5

I'm not a huge citrus fan but love extra lotion for my purse. 

About a $56 value which is pretty good. Overall I am not thrilled with this month but I'm usually very satisfied so I still consider this a killer deal.
