Sephora Deluxe Fragrance Sampler For Her

Hello, variety! This set contains miniature versions of twelve bestselling fragrances, including one that I'm TOTALLY coveting right now: Michael Kors' "Very Hollywood." The samples come in a cute and convenient carrying case. The set (a $94 value, as the people at Sephora point out at every chance) retails for a mere $50.


Okay, now I know what you're thinking. Why shell out any cash - let alone a substantial amount - for a set of fragrances samples that could be obtained in exchange for a few well-placed smiles during a department-store trip? The fragrant fun doesn't end with a collection of tiny samples. Enclosed in this set is a coupon for one complimentary full-sized perfume. The idea is that you buy the set, sample each of the scents, choose one, and use the included coupon to redeem a bottle of perfume. Like I said, the set sells for $50, which really isn't a bad deal when you think about what you're getting: a "full-size" bottle of a bestselling fragrance, twelve purse-friendly samples, and an adorable carrying case.


Sound too good to be true? Well..it kind of is. It turns out that by "full-size bottle", the people at Sephora actually mean "tiny one ounce bottle." Yes, the tactic the store employs is a bit misleading...but the concept is so fun that I almost don't mind!
