Box: Amazon Luxury Beauty Sample Box
Cost: My beloved Amazon wanted to play into the box action so it decided to have a GWP box free with a qualifying purchase from selected items from its Luxury Beauty store (or pay $8.99 without a qualifying purchase).
Twist my arm with another Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain! I went to find the cheapest thing that qualified for the GWP. The lowest price point I found was around $35 but I finally settled for some Bliss Spa Socks for $39.99 (this retails for $52 at Bliss)! They do work and short of a paraffin bath they do not compare to lotion/creme/oil/emollient/salve/ointment/jelly with the socks gig.
I have fond memories of Bliss, my first experiences was at the Soho Bliss Spa before my wedding day. I believed if I did not receive those treatments I would have been stressful blissful not bliss blissful. I digress…
What to Expect:
14 assorted luxury samples.
Kick Back and Get Comfortable:
First off the beautiful box!
We all know we are all about the box! This is pretty and it makes me feel luxe as I feel cheap buying with Amazon Prime for the 2 day shipping zillions of times. But isn’t that why I pay almost $99 a year for this and the many other perks that Amazon offers
*value does not compute sometimes with me. Maybe its because I spend so much at Amazon*

Verdict: Again Amazon finds a way for me to go down another rabbit hole with discovering their Luxury Beauty store with a beautiful box with a qualifying purchase. What really sold me was the offer of the Jane Iredale lippie and I lucked out with a great cute mini eyeshadow shade from MAKE Cosmetics. There was a $10 off $50 general coupon code LUXBOX15 expires 1/30/16 to lure me back in but I fought off the urge since I spent money on a certain Popsugar code I used last year 😉 We all know there is the word “box” in “sub box” so with that said, if Amazon offers another beautiful box I will find a way to purchase something for it!
This just in…
Starting Saturday January 15th at 9:00PM PT through Sunday at 11:59PM PT, Amazon should be offering NEW members a one year Amazon Prime Membership for ONLY $73! I do not have a linky though just an FYI from a reliable source…

That StriVectin definitely adds some value… nice! The Jane Iredale is not a good color for moi. Between that, my huge product stash and all the foil packets, I decided to pass – I actually don’t mind foils most of the time; I’m not a big foil packet snob and find they make for quick “empties” if you need to feel like you’ve made progress in denting your stash… those & sheet masks! But I digress. This was just a few too many foils, I think.
But really good products and definitely could be a great intro to sample boxes for many Amazon customers that aren’t part of the Sub Box underground. Great review Pnut!
Yeah I am not a foil snob either… I tend to use the the most!
Thanks Subista! I keep all my foils together and sometimes I get around to a spa foil night. Although when I travel I actually really enjoy using the foils it gives me great satisfaction seeing a piled of used foils in the cute hotel trash bin it makes me feel accomplished.
It makes me feel the SAME way!!!
awesome review !!!
ThanlsHeat! I am a sucker for boxes. I need a foil spa night soon. And I am thinking of doing my evening commentating and/or blogging with a sheet of something for ma face.
Thanks for digressing Heat I am going to look at my sheet masks army tonight and pick the wettest one its supposed to be a deep freeze coming my way tomorrow.
It was great to see what was in the box!
I know Sub Bella up close and personal with Amazon. I wanted to do this post because I love seeing boxes like this along with other sub boxes. I cannot wait for Sephora Sun Kit to come out in May!
