January’s Allure Sample Society is here! I was a little surprised that the colors weren’t the same as in my control panel, but not totally.  When you subscribe to Sample Society (this code won’t work on the past boxes – only on the subscription), use code 5FORYOU to save $5 on your first box! Sample Society usually sends 5 deluxe samples – makeup, skin, hair, accessories, and fragrance – but I was so excited because this box had SIX!

There’s a mini magazine in every box and it’s very editorial – the Allure editors pick every product! This month’s theme was New Year, New You!IMG_8136

Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Lid + Eye + Lash ($9) This is a fun new product! Mine is “Gold Glitz” and one is cream and the other glitter. They go on sheer. The mag comes with great suggestions – like pressing a hint of black glitter over the tips of mascara’d lashes. I found myself hoping to get these in more colors!!

Zoya Nail Polish in Leslie ($9) Every box has one of 5 spring colors – Allure says to use a base coat with these to avoid streaks.

Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar ($5.88) I don’t think I’ve tried this one and I’m pretty excited about it because it has hyaluronic acid plus other acids for exfoliation. i.e., it renews your skin! Mag reminded you to wear it under SPF or use at night!

StriVectin Intensive Illuminating Serum ($24.75) Ummm this one isn’t even in the booklet! Surprise! And how awesome is this? I love StriVectin products!

Erno Laszlo Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar ($3) This is hard to value because the full size ($45!) bar comes with a soap dish. It’s part of the Erno Laszlo “Regime” that is 75 years old! This one has stood the test of time. I’m not sure about all that splashing though (watch the video!). I’m more of a…. I use a wipe in the morning and cleanser in the shower kind of girl.

Philip B Light Weight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse ($2.17) This one is sort of funny because Allure is all like it doesn’t make split ends less noticeable and doesn’t make your hair feel as soft as other conditioners. Um ok. It says it makes it shiny and healthy though!

The January box had a value of around $54. Not as crazy great as last month but WAY more than excellent for a $15 box! You can pick up the December Sample Society Box by itself too but I don’t think the January one is up yet for individual sale!
