Sample Society Subscription Box Review – April 2014

Yep, after reading your review, and all the comments, I definitely have box envy of those who didn’t get the pink eyeliner lol. I wish mine was brown or even blue! Otherwise, I think this was a great box. I also got the candle, tissue paper, and H2O moisturiser.

I canceled this box because one of them was stolen. I was away the day the UPS guy left it in the lobby.(after the manager signed for it and left it in the lobby. Now, this is not the fault of Sample Society. I still was upset. I decided I never wanted that to happen again and canceled it.

Mine is coming today & I was actually REALLY excited for my box when I got my “Sneak Peek” email only because of the eyeliner because I love Butter London products. (The rest I could take or leave.) Unfortunately I failed to see that they are sending me a lime green eye liner. Lime Green. What the heck am I going to do with lime green eyeliner?! As you probably could guess, I cancelled today. I get Glossybox & Ipsy so I doubt I will have too much of a void.

I have not been able to sign back up with Sample Society. I used to receive their boxes but we had an issue last year where our debit card was lost and had to have a new one sent. I had this sub put on hold and then just never reactivated it. I sent them an email and received a response telling me to re subscribe with a new account, but they seem to be having issues with their mobile site. I mostly use my tablet and it won’t let you finish the subscription process properly.

Anyway, I keep meaning to call them but I always seem to forget until I see someone review their boxes. Some months I’m bummed that I missed out and then some months I’m glad I passed. SS seems to be very hit or miss now days. It used to be one of my faves, but they don’t seem to have as great of a curation any longer.

I got the same products, but my Butter pencil is a deep purple. SOOOO happy with this box. It’s my second one since making the switch from Ipsy. At $5 more/month, it’s a much better deal. Ipsy kept sending me crappy drugstore brands (NYC every month) and stuff with glitter. I’m 36- no one my age should be putting glitter on their face. This sub box is so much more my style. Plus, that $15 voucher is awesome.

Sooo bummed I missed this box due to the Target credit card debacle. Their site didn’t let me switch to our new card without calling and even though I called somehow things didn’t get switched right, so, my next box is going to be the May one. 🙁

I have the same box but my eyeliner is pink too. Between this and the PSMH LE box I have gold, blue and pink eyeliners to try out. Hmm… I think I have some googling to do to see how exactly one wears pink eyeliner without looking like they have pink eye.

I was thrilled to get the brown version of the eyeliner. I also got some sort if brightening cream from borghese which I am reluctant to try but will. The candle will hopefully find a new home … Especially since I got the same one in my beauty sage box! The h2o cream us great! Used it tonight and so far I liked it!

This is my first SS box and I can’t wait for it to get here! My profile says I got the same items mainly, except my eyeliner is Jaded Jack and the wipes are replaced with Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Cleansing Cream. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with lime green eyeliner :). I’m kind of hoping to be admitted to the swap site so it can find a new home!

Hi Liz, if I sign up now, would I get the April box do you know? Thanks!
