Yep, not regretting the cancellation all of a sudden.

.17 is so small for samples... Ugh was hoping the primer would be .25, that's what I consider to be more 'deluxe'. I more than made back the $15 with being able to stack 3 codes to get the 40 off, that was a crazy insane promo but I seriously doubt we will be able to do that every month. I will probably cancel this or beauty army next month and still keep my beloved BB lol

Does anyone know if there are any GWP's this month?

I always just search the phrase gift with purchase (so that it doesn't pull up all the gift sets), right before I order, because I get frustrated if I think there is a GWP and it's over (like happened with Philosophy last month)

I got the same size sample of the oscar blandi in a birchbox.  A little definitely goes a long way so the sample lasted awhile.  I love the product...it has a fantastic scent.  Can't wait to get my box.  Thanks for posting pics!

Sure! Here's the box as it came:



Here are the products out of the packages:



I'm holding the Oscar Blandi to give you an idea of how small it is. It's kind of like that Jouer from Birchbox, if you recall.

I admit, I had smacked it on just to see if it would work as a primer but as pale as I am, it worked fine as a very nude eye shade. Just a PINCH of glow, you know?

I must have a freakishly small face. I got five full applications out of that tiny Jouer LMT. I loved it. I've also gotten several uses out of the lipgloss. Maybe I apply really lightly? I am irritated, however, with any lipgloss with that type of applicator. It is so sad to see half an inch of product that you will never get without doing something extreme.

I wouldn't put my face in the "small" category (unfortunately!), but I also got several uses out of the Jouer. I liked it pretty well on those days when I didn't want to wear foundation. It gave me an awake glow but not enough coverage for my acne-prone skin, so I wouldn't buy it again.

I agree! I still have the bottle of lipgloss but there is no way that I can get anymore out of it and its more than half full! What do you do to get the rest out?

If you look under the huge banner on the homepage, there is a column of links on the left hand side that has a link to GWP's /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yeah, I have the Oscar Blandi sample from my birchbox and there's no way I'm running out anytime soon. A little goes a REALLY long way!

 

[yanelib27]

I wish we could skip this one whenever we wanted to. I would like to do that, esp once Glossybox starts subscriptions.

Darn it! I was hoping they would. Even with a March brand and April brand in the cart?

I tried that. It doesn't work.

I cancelled after i opened this today. It is all skincare for the second time.

I contacted customer service because i wanted to return this box and there are no returns. "If you'd like, we can certainly unenroll you from the program but there are no refunds or returns for Sample Society shipments." - Customer Service. Sort of a polite f you. 

I would advise skipping this society if you want makeup items. If you want skincare I would recommend beautyfix, they let you choose your own samples and some are full size.

Well, it did say no returns before you signed up.

I threw away that lipgloss, but was the bottle too small for a narrow lipbrush to get in? My other thought would be to heat it until the gloss can run out, and put it in another container.
