Allure Sample Society: October 2014

Still sloughing through October...

The magazine detailing the products:

First look!

Estée Lauder

Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum

Sample size: 0.24 fl oz (full size: $62-$92)

I'm feeling a bit ho-hum about this product. I think I'll see what swap offers I get for it.

Bond No. 9

Chinatown perfume

Sample size: 0.057 fl oz (full size: $190-$270)

I thought this was candy at first glance. Which would have actually been better than another perfume sample. The smell is really unpleasant too. Ugh. 

L'Oréal Paris

Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo and Conditioner

Sample size: 1.7 fl oz/each (full size: $4.99/each)

Drugstore shampoo and conditioner?! This may actually be more disappointing than the perfume sample...

Emi-Jay

Hair ties

Full size sample! Same size: 3 ties (full size: $6.60 for three)

I really don't care for these kind of hair ties. They simply don't stay in my hair, and the claim not to "dent" hair is totally false. 

Bobbi Brown

Smokey Eye Mascara - Black

Sample size: 1 oz (full size: $28)

Black mascara. Ugh. I could seriously not see a black mascara in a sample box for a year and be fine. 

Summary: this box was a total disappointment for me. Especially after last month's box. Fingers crossed that November is better.
