This is my April 2012 Beauty Bar Sample Society shipment. I'm once again upset there was no real makeup in the box - although I guess technically the Murad primer is a makeup product. I just want more makeup... lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner, etc. Is that too much to ask for?

Now I'll break it down, product-by-product...
By Terry Echantillon Creme de Rose
- MY THOUGHTS: I really didn't like the smell of this; far too strong of a rose scent and I'm just not a fan of it. If you like floral or rose scented things then you won't mind this scent. But for now, this goes to a friend/family member.
- FULL SIZE: 1.01 oz @ $99.00
- SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.14 oz
- VALUE: $13.73
Murad Hybrids Acne Primer
- MY THOUGHTS: Seeing as how I have acne-prone skin, this should be a nice primer to try. I'll likely only use this during the one week of the month where my acne is super bad. Looking forward to seeing how it works.
- FULL SIZE: 1 oz @ $35.00
- SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.17 oz
- VALUE: $5.95
Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel
- MY THOUGHTS: I really like the Boscia brand, especially their Detoxifying Black Cleanser, so I'm always happy to receive another product to try out. I'll give this a try in the future.
- FULL SIZE: 5 fl oz @ $26.00
- SIZE I RECEIVED: 1.69 fl oz
- VALUE: $8.78
Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Hair Serum
- MY THOUGHTS: I received this sample in my very first Birchbox shipment; I still haven't used that sample a whole lot so I'm not sure when or how much I'll use this one. It's not that it's a bad product, I just haven't gotten around to using it. I do know the price has gone up; it used to be $24 but now is $35 for the full sized.
- FULL SIZE: 1.6 oz/50 ml @ $35.00
- SIZE I RECEIVED: .169 oz
- VALUE: $3.70
DDF Amplifying Elixir
- MY THOUGHTS: I have several of these sample tubes, which I received all for free from Sephora when they were running deluxe skincare sample bags (I believe that's where I got them). I think I have 3 or 4 tubes, so now another. I do like this product, so I can't complain!
- FULL SIZE: 1.7 fl oz @ $63.00
- SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.5 fl oz
- VALUE: $18.53
