Sample Society

Yeah, I'd probably prefer that too (I'm usually pretty happy with my BB until I start checking out the boxes I DIDN'T get 

), but I couldn't rule out any of them from the May box based on what we think might be coming.

I'm pretty surprised there's going to be makeup! if that's the case, I think I'll probably drop myglam--I thought the last bag was great, but I realized I always give most of the stuff to my sister lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[yanelib27]

I am excited for this month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think it can only get better. I really like that they give out real deluxe sizes.

If the colorscience item is that stupid travel puff that birchbox sent out in February I will be seriously disappointed!
I wonder if the mineral makeup is going to be a color or some type of setting powder. Since they send they send the same box to all subscribers, I don't know how they would handle all of their subscribers' different skintones.

i think borghese is mostly known for their skincare products actually. at least that's what I know them for.

I'm thinking it might be some sort of bronzer that way they can satisfy more people without having to know their skin tone.

I hope its foundation. They have stated online since the 1st box that they hope to start customizing the boxes, and they have our beauty profile online. I have no use for bronzer so I hope thats not what it is. 

On another note, I spoke with CS and you are not able to stack the monthly codes. So if you want to use both April and May you need to place 2 orders.

Me too, I'm white as a ghost so bronzers look ridiculous on me. I would think they'd be making a big stink over starting to send out customized boxes though, which makes me think it's something more universal like a setting powder or highlighter or something along those lines. We'll have to wait and see!

The advice sneak peek definitely hints at the possibility of awesome-ness! 

For those of you who signed up after March's box - have you received your Allure magazine yet? Still waiting for mine!

 

[PaleBeauty66]

My account was charged on the 27th. I checked the ship date it says the box will ship on May 4th, a friday! I'm excited for this box, it is my first sample society box. I hope there is wonderful goodies in it!

The May advice guide is up

https://www.beautybar.com/Images/SampleSociety/AllureExpert/201205/advice01.jpg

just change the advice number to 02,03,04 and 05 to see them all.

So after peeking at this a few times, I changed '201205' to '201206' just to see what would happen... and June's advice guide is up too! I didn't think it would be up so far in advance but yay? lol

For June, looks like we're getting a lip product, fragrance, curling spray (I hope not - I am completely content with my straight hair!), eye cream, and some sort of acne treatment cream by the sound of page 5

https://www.beautybar.com/Images/SampleSociety/AllureExpert/201206/advice05.jpg

I tried for July but it 404ed

 

[zadidoll]

I think it's up because May is only four weeks.

 

[onthecontrary]

my account says my box arrive by Tuesday! I haven't gotten a shipping email, so we'll see, last month the date changed a few times before I actually got the box.

 

[Dena Fletcher]

i was charged the 27th and it says mine will ship the 1st....  *fingers crossed*

I canceled last month but June's sounds interesting to me.. I would love some sort of beachy spray for my hair and a maybe a lip plumper (better not be that Jouer tiny lip sample hahahha) or gloss. Hopefully I can subscribe again soon.

 

[glamourdolleyes]

Woohoo!! May and June both look promising.

 

[Playedinloops]

Glad I reactivated my account, I'll be sticking around through June at least.

I just hope it's a bigger one than Birchbox had a few months ago. The tube was barely longer than a postage stamp. Some people were getting great results, and more use, by turning it into a brow highlighter. It's a great product, but the Birchbox sample might only have been big enough for two full-face uses.

This is BeautyBar and from the boxes they have sent out so far they seem to send out REAL deluxe sizes, not BB sized samples /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
