Sample Society

[becarr50]

I'm actually really in love with most everything in the box. I have tried to perfume yet, but that's really only because I have so many other perfume samples. The peel was a little itchy on my face at first. Once I took the mask off and then used my moisturizer, my skin looked really fresh and glowy. I've also been using the eye cream pen daily, and I plan on trying the glossing cream tomorrow.

This is definitely a sub that I'm going to stay with provided that they keep up the same quality.  Hopefully it stays this way and I'm not disappointed with my April box.  It just seems that subscription services that also sell their products tend to have better quality items. And thanks LadyEarth for the tip about the combined discounts, can't wait to place my first order /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just received my first box and I have to say this is the first one that has been even close to birchbox for me.  I was going to cancel because it's $15 but now I think I will keep it for a while.  It's nice to finally get a wow after the awful platinum & gogogirlfriend stuff!

I probably wont use the coupon because it will drive me to spend more money. But I do like that we have that little perk, as apposed to having nothing!

And if you somehow get some extra money it's not like you have to use it by the end of the month! You have the 60 days or whatnot.

I will eventually use it, but since I have placed so many orders lately it will be sometime in April.

I got my SS box yesterday.  Pretty impressed with the size of the samples although the only ones I will really try are the hair products.  Very sensitive skin so I can't sue the mask.  The perfume is ACK!!  The eye pen is ok...used it once but have so many other eyes creams that I don't need anymore.  Keeping this sub and here's to hoping at least one makeup product next month!

New here on the boards(joined mostly to chat about sample society) and also a sample society subscriber. I actually had a few hiccups in getting my box sent to me as well, due to issues with my credit card(not the cards fault) but customer service came through in the end and fix things after many, many phone calls. My box was sent out on Friday and was given a beauty bar credit ($16). I made sure they emailed me while speaking with me to have a physical proof of said credit. I feel in the future there should not be any problems (fingers cross). My box arrives today, but I work late so the box should be in hand around late evening.

I think I'm most excited for the Eye Pen (NEVER ever to early to start using) and the Dermalogica Exfoliant.

Another reason I also wanted to post on the thread, I really wanted to maximize my ordering potential with the $15 coupon and I found online you can use if you are new to beauty bar (never ordered) you can use the code BBAFF to get $10 off to combine for $25 off. I thought this might be helpful to some.

Okie Dokie I'll be back. I should probably post on the introductions thread....

Thanks for sharing that code!  It used it with my $15 off code.  Beauty Bar is also on my corporate perks website so I got points through that also.  I was needing some Philosophy shower gel and the were doing a GWP.  Very excited!

So the first item I have tried from the box is the Fekkai glossing cream - last night and this morning. I really like it! I give it an A.

I LOVE fekkai products but can never afford them! I ordered 3 of their products for $54, but with the 15 off plus 10 promo code, and my 5 credit it was only $24!! Yay! Maybe I will like this box, just for the coupon /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I know I had 2 other codes/credit, but 35 for 50 is still a good deal.

Fekkai absolutely rocks. Their treatment mask they have is seriously amazing. It's in the Technician colorcare line, but I have recommended it to everyone, even those who haven't colored their hair, with great results.

Thats what I am doing, I decided to load up on Fekkai so I am getting the biggest glossing cream they have (7 oz for $30), the sample shampoo and shine mist along with a Stila palette and my total will be 34.00 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> so basically getting the cream for free !

Lol I am all about deals so I like to figure out how much product I am getting for my money, the $30 bottle is the best price per ounce out of the choices so I went with that. I really wanted to try the shampoo and shine mist but I got the sample sizes just in case.. I am def adding the hair mask you recommended to my wish list, thanks for that!

No problem, I used to sell Fekkai so I know quite a bit about the brand if you ladies have any questions!

I remember selling Fekkai when I worked at B&BW! It was always hard convincing folks to buy the product since it was kinda pricey, especially for our small town B&BW. Awesome product though!

Wait- What's the $10 promo code?

This sub looks awesome. Too bad they're not accepting newbies.

 

[emeline]

Keep checking! I saw they weren't accepting on Sunday but then checked again yesterday & it was open

You can get another $15 off by using code giftBB. My order came to $28 and it shipped this morning.
