NOW AVAILABLE: ALLURE "SUMMER" 2012 BEAUTY BOX

Allure Summer 2012 Beauty Box - Available April 24th @ 12:01PM EST.

It is officially Spring but Summer is only two months away and I am so ready for the warmer weather. Although this year's Spring season has been rather warm at times which has me worried about how hot it will get this Summer. Hopefully it won't be too hot though.

Anyway, last year I ordered the Allure Beauty Box (you can check out my post here) and I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by everything that I received. So I am definitely going to order it again this year when it becomes available.

This year's Allure Beauty Box seems like it will be as great, if not better, than last years. The cost is $39.99 plus shipping and handling (last year it was $10 for shipping) and $5 from each purchase will be donated to The Skin Cancer Foundation.

There are no guarantees that you will get one but when it becomes available you can order it from here: https://allurebbfulfillment.com/april2012site/   

Keep in mind, that last year after the Beauty Box sold out online, Allure disabled the virtual store link to purchase the Beauty Boxes. So if you don't find the listing for the Beauty Box in Allure's virtual store, then they may have already sold out of them all.    

SAMPLE SOCIETY: MARCH SAMPLES

I recently received my first Sample Society box of sample beauty products for March. Not sure what it is, then read my earlier post about it here. I signed up for the sample service several months ago and I couldn't wait to share my first box of goodies with you.

When I first opened the Sample Society box I was a little disappointed. I was expecting to see more makeup products rather than the skin and hair care products that I received. Although the skin and hair care products are nice, I still would have preferred makeup samples and hopefully next month's Sample Society box will be just that.

I also received an Allure booklet that gives skin and hair care tips about the products along with a $15 coupon. The $15 coupon is good towards any future purchase of $50 worth of products and at least one or more of the products has to be a full size version of one of the samples that I received in my beauty box. The coupon does expire so there is a time limit on the $15 savings.

Since I just received the box of samples I haven't tried everything yet, so I'll definitely follow up with several reviews on the various products and what I thought about them.

Be sure to visit here: Sample Society to sign up for your box full of sample beauty products and don't forget to use the special referral code: MHEF5811.

Here is everything that was in my March Sample Society box:

• FEKKAI ADVANCED Glossing Creams
• DERMALOGICA Daily Microfoliant Deluxe Sample
• SKYN ICELAND Icelandic Eye Relief Pen
• REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Peel Mask Deluxe Sample
• OSCAR DE LA RENTA Esprit d'Oscar Deluxe Mini Rollerball

ALLURE & BEAUTYBAR.com bring SAMPLE SOCIETY

Luxury Beauty Brands...on Demand

In the past year, I have subscribed to several different sample services. What is a sample service you might ask. Basically you pay a monthly fee and then on a predetermined date the company will mail out a box of beauty related product samples for you to test or try out. There is no obligation and you can cancel at any time. Some companies that offer this service do a good job of sending out worthwhile samples while others send out samples that are junk.

Some of the services that I have subscribed to are: Julep (read here for more info) and New Beauty's Test Tube. I have thought about trying Birchbox but I haven't heard enough good things about that service to warrant me to sign up at this time.

Anyway, the reason for this post is because Allure and BeautyBar.com have teamed up to offer a "Beauty Cocktail" called Sample Society. Once again this is a sample service but with a twist. Most, if not all sample service companies offer referral rewards to their current members for getting new subscribers to join. However, Sample Society donates up to $30 to select charities for each eligible friend that orders and there is no limit to the number of friends that you refer.
