Hi everyone! This is my first post here, though I've been reading the forums for a while.
I thought this month's Sample Society box was pretty decent. I wasn't super wowed by any of the products because I've seen them before, but I'm still going to stay subscribed for another month. I think last month's box definitely had bigger samples, but it was the first month, so I'm sure they wanted to impress. Like everyone else, I hope to see more makeup/nail polish, but I'm glad a received skincare items I will actually use.
Boscia cleanser: nice size sample. I love this brand and have used some of their other cleansers, so I think this will be good. I used it last night and this morning and liked it.
Oscar Blandi Jasmine Serum: I really like Oscar Blandi products and have some other treatments from the jasmine line that I really like, so I'm excited to try this. It smells so good! The sample size is tiiiiny, but you really don't use that much when you use a serum (and my hair is really fine), so I think this sample will last at least a few months. My only gripe is that I have so many hair oil/serum samples from sub services!
Murads Hybrids Primer: kind of a makeup-y item I guess. I have super oily skin and was hoping to get the Peter Thomas Roth mattifying gel in last month's Teen Vogue BB, but got the blotting papers, so I'll give this a go. I thought it looked kind of dark at first but the color blends and matches.
DDF Amplifier: I was kind of surprised at how watery it was, but according to reviews on Sephora that's the normal consistency. It smells a little funky, but that faded fast. I used it last night and my skin looked smoother and brighter today. It's pricey, so I probably won't buy the full size, but I can see this sample lasting a long time as well since you only need a few drops for your whole face.
By Terry Rose Cream: This is kind of a dud for me. 6ml is kind of a small sample, especially compared to last month, though I do appreciate the inclusion of an expensive brand that I wouldn't normally try. I really want to like this because I've heard great things about it, but I think it smells terrible! I really don't like rosy/floral scents, and it smelled so strong coming out of the tube that I don't think I'd be able to put this on at night without setting off my allergies. I'll probably trade this since it seems like other people really like it.
I hope there are more stackable codes this month. Last month I got a LaVanilla perfume and Fekkai hair mask for ~$25 by stacking the March code and I think the spring one. Of course today I saw an extra $10 off your first order from Beauty Bar in my spam folder that I could have used too! hmmph!
