Sample Society

[Playedinloops]

I got mine too..along with my random copies of health and fitness, I have a lot of magazines to read, lol.

I received my first Sample Society box in April. I'm wondering if I will be getting Allure later than everyone here?

 

[Scawolita]

I can't remember if I said I didn't want one. Logged in to try and see but couldn't find anything! Anyone know where I can find out>?

In order to "Opt Out" of getting the Allure, you had to fill out a form (paper form, not online), and mail it to the magazine people along with your receipt ("Proof of Qualifying Service") in Fresno, CA, within 30 days of subbing to Sample Society.

So most likely, if you don't remember opting out, you're gonna get the Allure.

I saw this too before subscribing in the FAQs, but I'm fairly certain that upon checkout with my subscription, there was a box that could be checked/unchecked in order to receive the magazine. I didn't particularly want it, so I made sure to uncheck the box about receiving it. I have not received the magazine, so I assume my request was received.

So, its possible if you accidentally unchecked that box, you may not receive it.

That was to receive a refund on the magazine, or something along those lines. Opting out would have involved unchecking the "yes! please send me a complementary 1-year subscription to Allure", or something like that lol.

You're right. I must have unchecked that box because Sample Society confirmed that my account wasn't reflecting the free subscription to the magazine. Their customer service however, is superb as they've added it to my account so that I can receive it.

Just curious how many people are going to stick with SS if we keep getting boxes full of skincare and hair samples and no makeup. I am all for the hair samples but my skin is so sensitive that I can't really use the skincare stuff so it just gets passed on.  If we can get the $15 off and stack a bunch of codes then great but if not then I am not sure I can keep justifying the $15 a month.

I'm sticking with it. So far I've loved pretty much everything they've sent. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And with the 15 coupon code, it does pay for itself if you love the products. Do wish coupon codes were stackable again, but I would love to see what May has in store before I make a for-sure judgment on the service.

I don't know how long I will, but I am happy right now.  I think once I get bored buying items from their store is when it will lose value to me.

Honestly, I'm probably *more* likely to stick with it if it's all skincare.  I can't wear alcohol-based perfume, the makeup colors that are usually sent out in sample boxes are typically all wrong for me (Irish washerwoman do not need bronzer!), my hair is too short (and I'm too lazy) to deal with styling products, plus I seem to be on a skincare kick right now, in large part because my skin is changing (one part age, one part working in a modern skyscraper instead of a small historical four-story building.  Happily, it doesn't seem as sensitive as it used to be, so I actually *can* try all of the samples!), and I'm trying to figure out what I should be using on it now, and samples mean I don't have to deal with the cosmetic counter ladies.  

(Also, that Boscia cleansing gel?  Now lives in my desk at work along with several moisturizers from Birchbox.  Some coworkers go on smoke breaks to calm down.  I wash my face and moisturize.  I have a feeling my habit is probably healthier than theirs.)

I am sticking with it for May but I do not know how much longer. As soon as Glossybox opens subscriptions (who knows when that will be) I will be canceling this one. I wont have 2 BB accounts, this one AND Glossybox. Its just too many samples. I have been very happy with the samples.. I loved the rose cream and the murad primer in this months box & the daily microfoliant, the eye cream and fekkai cream in the first box. I used the March code twice, and will be using this months code as well. So far so good. I just think Glossybox will be more worth my money. At least I am hoping it will be!

The next box ships in less than a week! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[nelliebelle1197]

Anyone have any spoilers?

 

[Janamaste]

I'm definitely keeping this one for now.

I've loved the eye pen and the Fekkai Glossing cream. The Murad primer works great. Getting Oscar Blandi oil was pretty sweet too.

 

[javagirl87]

I ended up canceling a few days ago, it's not worth $15 for me since I didn't use the code this last month and didn't use a single product from the box!!

Plus I wanted to use that $15 towards my Littleblackbag purchases /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'll probably be kicking myself if I find out there's tons of makeup in May's box tho haha. But that's okay because I have too much makeup right now anyway

 

[Scawolita]

Anyone know when they will bill?
