March 2016 Allure Sample Society Review

By Elisabeth @onecutedoc

I was excited to see my Allure Sample Society Box in my mailbox. I usually love this subscription because they include well known high end brands. They include deluxe size samples and sometimes FULL SIZE products. A very detailed product description card is included. It is one of the best description cards I have seen. Allure Sample Society is now curated exclusively through Allure. They use to be curated through BeautyBar.

Cost: $15.00/month

Ships: To US only


FIRST IMPRESSION:

I love how well the Allure Sample Society Boxes come packaged! Everything looked so nice! I also really love the brands that were included this month. There were 7 products this month and some were FULL SIZED! I couldn’t wait to dig in! I did have a hiccup with Allure because they were suppose to send me a bonus box and never did. I was previously signed up through Beauty Bar, but when Allure switched over to just Allure Beauty Box…they didn’t allow Beauty Bar subscribers to receive the bonuses. I had to cancel and resubscribe through allure which was a pain. If you are a new subscriber, you will not have these issues. It is just for previous customers who purchased the box through Beauty Bar. I hope it is all fixed now.


REVIEW OF ITEMS:

DP HUE ACV  

This is a sample size. It is a vinegar-based rinse that gives hair a deep clean. I can’t wait to try it because I love hair rinses.


Macadamia Professional Ultra Rich Moisture Cleansing Conditioner

This is a deluxe size sample. It is suppose to remove buildup while softening and defrizzing. I love Macadamia Professional so I am excited about this product.


Julep Konjac Cleansing Face Sponge ($12)

This is a FULL SIZE! I love Konjac sponges and thanks to subscription boxes, I am totally stocked up with them. I really do like this one and that it comes with a shower hook for storing.


Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder 

This is a sample size. I am so excited about this sample. I love finishing powders especially for “baking.” I can’t wait to test this one!


Nunzio Saviano Anti-Frizz Sheets

These are sample sizes. They are for you hair and are perfect for travel. I am totally throwing these in my purse!


Cargo Blush/Bronzer Duo in Catalina and Medium

This is a nice sample. It includes a duo of blush/bronzer. I love the shades and I love Cargo cosmetics. I received this in another subscription box so I will be giving this one away.


L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lipcolor in Timeless Rose ($9.99)

This is a bonus item and is FULL SIZED! What an awesome addition to the box! I love the shade I received and can’t wait to wear it.


OVERALL IMPRESSION:

I am blown away with this month’s Sample Society Box! I loved the brands that were included and I loved the detailed information card. I love seeing exactly why they included an item and their take on it. They have really been stepping up their game with this year’s boxes. The value is definitely there. I love that they include very well known brands. I am so excited about the lip product, conditioner, hair rinse, and finishing powder. What do you think of this box? Are you grabbing one?
