June was another good month for sample usage. Since I'm preparing to move in with my fiance, I've been trying to use up my skincare samples that I've been toting around. I also started piling everything into a shopping bag instead of just having a pile of trash on my dresser. Because apparently saving your beauty-related trash so you can post a picture on the internet is weird. Go figure.
~ Garnier Fructis dry shampoo - discussed in Fire & Ice project updates.
~ UD Naked Skin Foundation - I feel like this oxidized on me, and I don't enjoy being orange. The formula was nice though. Might repurchase.
~ Ole Henriksen African Red Tea cleanser - this was the last item in the 3 little wonders sample kit to bite the dust. It was nice; I feel like it stripped my skin a bit. I would not repurchase.
~ Tarte marine boosting mist DS - smelled like spraying lemon pledge on my face and I didn't notice a difference in my makeup wear time. Would not repurchase.
~ Tarte Smooth Operator loose setting powder DS - discussed in Fire & Ice updates
~ Dr Jart sunscreen - also in Fire & Ice
~ The body shop foil - I don't remember what this was exactly, nor do I remember what it was supposed to do. A foil packet is too small for skincare.
~ Lancer "polish" - nice exfoliant, wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it
~ Origins Gin-zing eye cream - I liked the pearly color and it made my eyes feel nice. I might repurchase.
~ Laura Mercier mega moisture cream sample - I can't tell if I liked it or if it made me too greasy. Probably wouldn't repurchase because I have cheaper, better face lotions.
~ Peter Thomas Roth moisturizer DS - this was a nice, light day moisturizer with a gel texture. Might repurchase.
~ Dr Brandt microdermabrasion - I really liked this. If I had a need for a physical exfoliating product and it wasn't so dang expensive I might repurchase this.
~ Replica Beach Walk sample - I loved this. Again, so expensive. I have 2 more samples, so those should probably get me through the summer without dropping $120 on perfume.
~ Marc Jacobs Daisy sample - I still like this one, but it really doesn't last very long on me so I probably wouldn't purchase it. I would use samples though.
~ Living Proof overnight hair perfector - I liked the scent, but I'm not entirely sure it did anything? It didn't make my hair super greasy, but didn't improve it in any noticeable way. Would not repurchase.
~ Covergirl ready set gorgeous concealer - it was okay, good color match. Very sheer though. Might repurchase after trying other concealers.
~ Dior dreamskin something or other - let's be real. I have no idea what this is or what it's supposed to do. It has diamonds in it? What? Why? I liked using it as a primer, but the theme of this month remains - hella expensive. Would not repurchase.
Blush pan!
~ Revlon Naughty Nude - there's a bit of pan peeking through there in the textured bit. It's there! I promise! I still like this blush, just trying to rotate through some of my others now.
~ UD Naked Skin Foundation - I feel like this oxidized on me, and I don't enjoy being orange. The formula was nice though. Might repurchase.
