A Closer Look: November 2013 Beauty Bar Sample Society Review – Beauty Subscription Box

November 2013 Beauty Bar Sample Society Beauty Subscription Box

The latest trends in makeup and beauty products change every seasons and sometimes more often than that. Whether it’s the latest eyeshadow colors or the latest facial cleanser, there’s always something new to try. The Beauty Bar Sample Society monthly beauty subscription box makes it easy to find the latest must-have beauty products.

Created in collaboration with Allure magazine, the Beauty Bar Sample Society is designed for on-the-go professionals who want only the best beauty products. Every month, the beauty expert select deluxe-sized samples from the best luxury brands, ranging from skin care products to makeup to fragrance.

Unlike most subscription boxes, the Beauty Bar Sample Society box came in an outer cardboard box with a tear strip.

We opened the outer box and pulled out the Beauty Bar Sample Society box – a high-quality lidded navy blue box that is perfect for gifting (just throw a bow on it) or for at-home storage.

The first thing we saw was the Allure mini-magazine that has a few articles with editors’ beauty tips and trends.

November 2013 Beauty Bar Sample Society  Monthly Subscription Box Wrap-Up

This was a great collection of beauty products for us. While advertised as “deluxe-sized samples”, the Borghese Splendore Brightening Makeup was full-sized (although in a tube versus a glass jar.) These were definitely high quality products. I loved that they had a variety of products and weren’t all makeups. The candle was a fun twist (and one we’ll be buying here!) The total estimated value of the November 2013 Beauty Bar Sample Society beauty box was $48.36.
