Sample Society

[MissMonica]

While I loved my SS box (and the SIZE of the samples), did anyone else have the hardest time getting INTO to box?  Like the outside box for shipping, not the actual box holding the samples. At least for me, it was like trying to break into Fort Knox--I was sure I was going to break a (gel) nail!  I finally had to get out the scissors and stab/cut my way through. 

Of course, my boyfriend walked in the front door at exactly the moment I looked most psychotic, stabbing a tiny little box with scissors and sweating from exerting so much effort.  In my defense, I'd been trying to pry the end open for 10 minutes, before I got to that point.

Don't really like my box. I got a small sample of the microfoliant a while back and didn't like to so when I got the deluxe sample in my BB this past month I traded it so I'll probably try to trade this one too. I"m just not that into skincare. Will definitely try the stuff for your hair. Not quite old enough to need an eye pen yet and the perfume is horrible! I'm going to give it one more month and if it's a lot of skincare again then I'm going to cancel.

You're never too young for an eye cream!  Just sayin'.  If you wait until you're showing signs of aging, you're too late to do much good! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I started using eye creams when I was 19, almost 21 now. Never too early to start helping future you!

Overall, I like my stuff. Would have liked a little more makeup, but I'ver resigned myself to the fact that makeup is going to be one of the occasional perks and it's OK. I love my skincare too, especially if it smells nice!

I liked the Oscar; I didn't find it smelled like a grandma unless that grandma is a lady-who-lunches, wears a lot of tasteful cocktail dresses and spends a lot of time in philanthropic endeavors...weird, I know, just my take on it. I'm definitely not wearing it to work! Not against florals but this one is a little too concentrated for office wear.

As to the Dermalogica, how do you use it? and to what consistency do you mix it up?

My box finally shipped out today! I got the email. I have no idea when it'll get here, but at least it's in the mail! =] 

I'm super excited to try everything in it.

I agree about the eye stuff, I am 27 and dont have any wrinkles but even I wish I would have started when I was younger. I am so excited about the Dermalogica and the eye pen. I will try all of it though, even the perfume. There are perfumes that smell awesome when I spray them but not when I wear them on me, so I am hoping that even if this one doesnt smell good right away, that it will smell good once its on.

i just got an email that my box JUST shipped! i did join late though (march 1). i'm so excited! i've used the glossing cream before (a little greasy) but i did like it. it holds up hair ends really well. i use the microfoliant every week. i have the full size bottle and am so excited to get a smaller version for travel! as for the other products, haven't tried them, but looking forward to it. this is my first beauty box!

I'm a 3rd-shifter too! So I was really excited about the eye cream. It had a nice cooling feeling when I tried it last night.

Its an under eye circle/depuffing pen, so it is good for everyone! Plus antiaging is good for everyone too. But if you aren't into skin care, I understand.

Well the directions say to pour powder onto wet hands. So I did that and just poured a little in my hand and then used my fingers to mix it up into a thick paste. When I actually started to use it on my face, it thinned out a bit and was more liquidy. So you really don't need that much powder at all.

I'm not sure if I used it right though, but it seemed to work like I wanted it too.

I don't care for the eye serum, ill have to put it in the trade thread! Its great that its full size though!

 

[ladygrey]

Haha, YES. I tried for ages to rip it open with my bare hands, but I finally just ended up grabbing a serrated knife and hacked that box to pieces!

Yay third shift! I will be trying mine when I get up for work in a few hours. Can't wait to feel the cooling action, I may buy another if I like it!!

 

[freyabecca]

Exactly! Also the pen is good for dark circles & puffiness which can occur at any age.

the $15 coupon can be used on anything in the box? and if not items in the box you have to spend $50?

It HAS to be used on a brand from the box, and you have to spend 50 dollars.

Does the mask smell like barf to anyone else? lol maybe I've been drinking too much citrus vodka but this smell is not nice to me.

I felt the same way!  I almost did break a nail and was afraid of using the scissors and cutting myself.  The glue was pretty sticky stuff and I couldn't figure out another way in without going thru the gluey ends of the box.

Hahaha grosssssssssssss! I am a little less excited about trying it now.
