This is the very first box from Beauty Bar's Sample Society with Allure. I am really impressed with this subscription service. The value was fantastic; my box was worth $58.71 - which is pretty good!
The shipping was super fast too. My box shipped on the 7th and I received it the very next day, which I loved! Fastest shipping so far from a sample program. The only bad thing is there is no makeup samples, which was disappointing. Hopefully next month they'll include a makeup item - like a gloss or shadow.

- SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.14 oz (full sized item)

OSCAR DE LA RENTA Esprit d'Oscar Deluxe Mini-Rollerball
