Another small round-up for this month. I'm still making an effort to work through my samples, and that's going well!
~ YSL Black Opium sample - yes, I still have these. Still enjoying making my way through using these up.
~ Juliette Has A Gun "Another Oud" - This smells like a fancy cigar and had pretty good lasting power. I enjoyed the sample but probably would not purchase a larger size. I don't really want to be known for smelling like a cigar.
~ Cristophe Robin purifying shampoo - Since my recent move, my hair has been a greasy mess (I think it hates the water in my new home state). This shampoo has been a lifesaver - my hair feels like normal hair again! I've already purchased a full size.
~ Too Faced Hangover Rx primer - finished as part of my project pan, didn't like this, wouldn't buy this.
~ Erborian CC cream "fair" - It was pretty nice, but didn't have a lot of coverage (as expected). If I ever want another CC cream it might be this one, but I'm good for now.
~ Benefit Watts Up - I used this under foundation for some extra glow. It took forever to use up, but wasn't a necessary step for me. Glad I was able to use it up, wouldn't repurchase.
~ Philosophy renewed hope in a jar moisturizer - Meh. Didn't really do a whole lot, wouldn't repurchase.
~ Hourglass veil mineral primer - I usually don't mind using this one, but it did not play nicely with the Drunk Elephant sunscreen I've been using. Maybe since they're both mineral products? Don't hate this, still have another foil sample of this.
~ Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturizer "Cameo" - even though it's the one for oily skin types, I still feel like it made me a bit greasy. I feel like I've done this with this particular sample before. Wouldn't repurchase.
~ Drunk Elephant TCL Sukari Babyfacial - I love this, and I feel like it actually works. I use it maybe once a week, especially if I feel like I'm having a bad skin day. My skin feels softer and stays clearer. I purchased the gift set this year, so I have a full size now.
~ Bath & Body Works marshmallow pumpkin latte hand cream - I actually used this up as a body cream, since I don't really apply hand lotion during the day. The scent had pretty good lasting power - it was still there when I woke up in the morning. I think I actually have another one of these.
~ Fresh Rose deep hydration face cream - This was a light gel moisturizer. Didn't mind it, would totally use another sample, but probably wouldn't buy since it didn't wow me.
~ Sol de Janeiro brazilian bum bum cream - I love this, used it in 2-3 nights. I still have more samples hanging around, and I'm excited for the new scent they have coming out!
~ Ole Henriksen Pure Truth youth activating oil - Hated this. My husband said my face smelled like marijuana, and it stained my counters with its' orange coloring. Nope.
~ Ole Henriksen invigorating night transformation gel - This was okay. I've used it before they re-did the packaging and the names, and it didn't have that much of an effect, so I wouldn't purchase a full size.
~ Dr Jart+ Cicapair tiger grass color correcting treatment - basically a BB cream, I don't hate it, but like I discussed above, I'm not really a BB cream kind of gal. I also have 2 deluxe sizes of this from various sets.
~ First Aid Beauty facial radiance pads - Basically Stridex pads but slightly less effective and a lot less stinky. Didn't mind using this sample pack, but wouldn't repurchase.
