This month, Sample Society wants me to have beachy waves, plump lips, less eye wrinkles, clear skin and smell like my grandma. Okay, maybe not like my grandma but when I get Oscar De La Renta, that is all I can think of. Oops! Anyway, I really cannot stop raving about SS and how amazingly awesome this sub is. I have been with SS since the start and it has quickly become my top beauty box. Minus last month of course, but that is subject to taste. The sizes of these luxury beauty samples are perfect! Most of them are "deluxe sized" and for $15, that is a STEAL. Also, every month you get a $15 gift code for BEAUTYBAR.com to use on that months products. Of course you have to spend $50 to use it but I happen to think its a great perk. On to the goods.

In my June Sample Society box:
*Alterna Boho Waves Texture Mist
*Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream
*Oscar De La Renta Live in Love
*Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip Plumper in Tokyo
* Murad Acne Clarifying Cleanser

I'm really not sure as to what the theme is this month. Although it seems like its like a staying young/anti-aging Summer box. I don't know but I like it. Luckily, I have tried 2 of the items featured in this months box before (Alterna Texture Mist & Murad Cleanser), I am wearing 2 others at the moment (Oscar De La Renta & Jane Iredale) and I will be trying the Caudalie Eye Cream tonight. So I'll review the items I have tried.

I absolutely love Alterna's Texture Mist! Now that I have let my hair grow long, I will use this a lot. It has a nice smell to it and it has Organic Bamboo and Black Yucca Root in it. The mist makes my hair shiny, gives it a bit of volume and crazy texture. LOVE IT! Full size is $22 for a 4.2 oz bottle.

I am not a huge fan of Oscar De La Renta fragrances because to me they don't smell good. Like I said, it reminds me of my grandma. But as I am sitting here, it smells pretty good on me. I personally wouldn't buy this or wear it again but it isn't bad. Live in Love is a "green floral bouquet, with a sparkling heart and sensuous dry down." Its floral but nothing special. This will most likely live on my mom's dresser. Full size is $58 for 1.0 oz.

The Jane Iredale Lip Plumper is nice. I have a few lip plumping lippies but don't use them a lot. But this one will most likely be in my bag everyday. Tokyo is a nice sheer pinky coral color. It looks dark in the tube but it really goes on sheer. It smells very cinnamon like in the tube and tingles when it goes on. It goes on very smooth and has a hint of shimmer. Even though I will never have Jolie lips, this is a fun product to try. Full size is $25.

I used the Murad Acne line about 4 years back. Hated it! In fact, it made me break out like crazy. But I got a Murad Hybrids Acne Primer in my April SS box and I looooved it! So maybe I'll give this cleanser a second try. Murad Acne Clarifying Cleanser is $26 for 6.75 oz.

All in all, pretty good box! 4 stars out of 5. :)
