I don't like the smell either. I love the smell of citrus but this one is just overwhelming.

LOL. I don't love the smell of the mask, but I don't hate it. Similarly, I don't really enjoy the smell of the perfume, but I love the sample size!  It's not a BAD smell, I just prefer sweeter scents over fresh/florals.  May try layering it with various lotions or other scents and see if I can come up with a combo I like, who knows.

I am about to try out the mask and the eye pen. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree... opening the outer box was a nightmare! I'm all about secure packaging, but that was insane!  Almost makes me want to cancel my sub to not have to deal with opening the box every month....

 

[Playedinloops]

Well while the mask doesn't smell very good, my skin feels amazing. SOOOO SOFT. I want to cuddle my face right now, lol.

Received my box today too, odd that my birchbox was suppose to arrive by USPS today but didn't, so at least I got one box =)  Don't know why someone said we had to sign for the box because I didn't.  I really love the sizes of the samples as they truly are DELUXE, and I've been dying to try that Dermalogica exfoliant (really glad I didn't get it in BB), and I actually love the smell of the Oscar perfume - it's a light floral scent...I would never associate that scent with a grandma...to me grandmas smell of moth balls, or camay soap or anything like that. lol.  Well hopefully I'll get my Teen Vogue box tomorrow...and my MyGlam bag should arrive by Tues =)
Oh, I'm part of 12 monthly sample boxes / bags btw  - I will be weening myself down to hopefully just 4-5 a month soon (after all - - how am I going to be able to use all these samples I'm getting?)

Has anyone used the mask in the last Glam bag AND the SS mask?

People were saying the Premier mask made their skin so soft, too- Hoping the Ren mask produces similar results, because I sure can't afford the Premier mask ;p

 

[yousoldtheworld]

YES!  I was one of the people who liked the Premier mask, and it did leave my skin soft and smooth...but so far, I actually think this Ren mask is way better.  I used it about 4 hours ago, and my face feels like velvet and looks glowy. Really impressed - I may be buying this one!

Awesome! I just used the Premier mask tonight and really like the results, but not enough to spend $100+. SO excited about this box!

I did not like the Premier Mask at all personally, I had it on for a minute before I had to wash it off because it was so strongly perfume scented... I couldn't get it off fast enough /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I wish I could have had more of a chance to experience it on my skin.  I enjoyed the Freedman mask a bazillion times better (it really didn't do a lot for my skin but the smell and feel was nice and made me feel pampered).

The Ren mask at least has a more neutral citrus-like scent which is neither pleasant or unpleasant, but the results were enough to make me buy a full size yesterday.  I kinda want to experiment with more peels/masks now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)  

 

[freyabecca]

I did. I did not care too much for the premier mask. I wouldn't even compare them as products because consider the Ren to be an exfoliation product. If I was to do an at home facial on myself I would do the ren mask in place of an exfoliator. The premier mask does have some vitamin a from what I can see so that could be considered slightly exfoliating but nothing compared to the ingredients in the Ren Mask.

When are you guys getting billed? Is it a set day, or does it repeat on the day you joined?

They put a hold on my account on the 1st, then it went through the day it shipped.

I'm hoping to get off the waiting list before too long...I'm so excited to subscribe based on your reviews.

I got my box on Thursday (along with my Birchbox and something I bought off of ebay- so it was a good day). Love the Dermalogica exfoliator and the eye pen. For the people who are averse to using eye cream, use it. I've been using eye cream since I was 16 and I'm 29 now and people think I'm 10 years younger. The perfume is weird. I wore it yesterday and smells good after it's been on for a while, but I put it on again this morning and it smells like the inside of my grandmother's closet. Kind of like a sachet. IDK. I haven't tried the masque yet, since I used the exfoliator instead last night. I used the Fekkai stuff yesterday and two people told me my hair looked great, so guess it's a keeper. I'm pretty pleased.

Take back what I said about good customer service. (They told me because the Dermotologica was damaged they would send me another box for free). Not only did they NOT send out the replacement box, they have NO record of it being offered. I know I'm not crazy! Anyway, they are sending me a Dermotologica replacement on Monday (which is fine)... but it's kind of annoying that they would offer one thing and then go back on it. Whatever it's just $15 + tax dollars and I'm happy with the box.

 

[yanelib27]

I just thought of a friend of mine who I think will like the perfume! Yey, now it wont go to waste /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not cool. One of the reps had offered me a 10.00 credit on my account and its only a 5.00 credit. But since I didnt get it in writing there is no sense in arguing with them about it. 5.00 IS better than none.

I just cancelled my Sample Society (I know I'm going to regret it!), because my husband said I had to because he doesn't think I need to spend so much on samples.  Anyways, I have good news for those that are waiting to sign up.  Go now!!!  It looks like they are taking subscriptions again through their website.  I may sign back up on the sly because every time I cancel one of these, they get super good the next month.  I really wasn't wowwed by the first box, but I'll probably be envious of next month's boxes.  The only one that I haven't regretted cancelling is Myglam.

Men just don't understand!!!
