Time for the October Samples & Empties Post. Quick thoughts about each starting above.
Kalleis Oxi Serum: I liked this creamy antioxidant serum. It has unique ingredients. Review HERE.
LILFOX Aphrodite: I liked this mist. Wasn’t my all time favorite so I wouldn’t repurchase.
Allies of Skin 1A All-Day Mask: This was a fabulous gel cream. I loved layering it in the day. I would repurchase but its been reformulated. More on the new version coming up. Review HERE.
Jane Scrivner ‘OO’ (Over Oil) Cream: I liked the texture of this. It’s great for days. The scent is a bit too strong for me. It’s unique. Review HERE.
Odacite Oleosomes Time Release Delivery Creme: I really enjoyed this. It’s a lightweight lotion. I talked about it HERE.
Jordan Samuel Hydrate Facial Serum: Love this. Amazing hydrating serum. I would absolutely repurchase. Review HERE.
KYPRIS Cleanser Concentrate: Loved this. Would totally repurchase. Review HERE.
January Labs Moisture Balancing Lotion: Love this, my second tube. This is one of my go tos for Ellas face. So gentle and light. Review HERE.
Joanna Vargas Super Nova Serum: I loved this retinol serum. It was quite good. Review HERE.
Catherine Jinn Pro Bio-Placenta Essence: I liked this. It wasn’t the most powerful growth factor serum ever. More to come soon.
EVE LOM Time Retreat Hand Treatment: Love this, all time holy grail hand treatment. Review HERE.
Kat Burki Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream: This is such a divinely textured face cream. Review HERE.
Omorovicza Illuminating Moisturizer: I liked this quite a bit. It’s their thickest lotion. I didn’t get to use it all before it got mold or something so I tossed it. Very sad about that.
NIOD Survival 0: I like this creamy night serum. Has tomato carotenoids. Review HERE.
Kat Burki Vitamin C Nourishing Cleansing Balm: I loved this. Really really enjoyed it. I will buy another when I work through a few more. Great light spring balm. Review HERE.
Botanic Farm Salmon Egg Hydrogel Eye Patch: I liked these. Cheaper patches. I couldn’t use them all before they started to dry out. Review HERE.
Herbivore Coco Rose: My holy grail body scrub. Review HERE.
Alpha-H Liquid Gold Rose Hand Cream: I love Alpha-H Liquid Gold Hand Cream, it’s a holy grail. This version is a bit lighter and less heavy so it’s not quite as good, but still good. Review of the original HERE.
Shu Uemura Urban Moisture Shampoo: I liked this. Very hydrating for a clear shampoo.
LTD Apothecary Java & Lemon Body Scrub: I loved the lemon version, the java version was not my favorite. Overall the scrub is a bit rough.
Truly Organic Doll Face Face Cream: This was to heavy, has coconut oil so I used it on my arms not my face.
Lovinah Dragon’s Blood Serum: Loved this sample. Will need to grab a big one.
Philip Kingsley Body Building Conditioner: Everything he touches is gold. Very light. Like it.
R+Co Texturizing Shampoo: This was OK. Uses cactus extract. Can be a bit drying.
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk: Did not like this, white cast is too high.
Yes to Coconut Ultra Hydrating Overnight Eye Balm: I liked this. It’s creamy. I ended up using this more as a nose balm to soothe when sick then for eyes (I know sounds weird but it worked for that as it wasn’t the most hydrating on the eyes).
Momotani Clear Cleansing Lotion: This was a typical cleansing water.
TATCHA Luminous Dewy Skin Mist: This is OK. It’s hydrating with a fine mist. A little pricey.
Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm: I like this. Good detox cleansing balm. Review HERE.
Zelens 3t Complex: Love this. One of the best creams ever. Review HERE.
Molton Brown Rosa Absolute Shower Gel: I like their shower gels, this one was too rose scented.
Amore Pacific The Essential Creme Fluid: I love this lotion like fluid. Too bad it’s too perfume scented for me.
Tata Harper Resurfacing Serum: Love this creamy acid serum. Review HERE.
Sente Dermal Repair Cream: I liked this a lot. Light yet moisturizing.
Farmacy Honey Drop: This is OK. It’s nice but nothing that’s groundbreaking.
Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Primer: This is so matte. I can only use it on my nose only as it’s way too drying for a full face primer. Review HERE.
Origins Original Skin Matte Moisturizer: A nice gel cream for summer.
YSL All Hours Foundation: This is nice. Matte, liquid, long lasting. Has a watermelon scent.
Armani Eye & Brow Maestro Copal: I liked this. It was a bit high maintenance for me as it took work to get it right, but it lasts forever.
Gypsy Secrets Cleansing Oil: I liked this cleansing oil.
Skinn Cosmetics Serum: I honestly can’t remember what this was called and I gave it to a friend. It was a hydrating serum. I just had so many to go through.
5YINA Lucent Summer Oil: I like the oil, Autumn is better for me.
Thriva Luxe EGF Super Serum & Daily Moisturizer: I liked this creamy moisturizer & hydrating serum with CBD.
CLEAN Reserve Sel Santal: This was a nice light scent. Pretty commercial scented but nice.
Marie Veronique Medium SPF: I so wanted to love this. But it was drying and almost gritty to a bit from the sample.
Sisley Instant Glow Primer: I like this shimmering hydrating primer. It’s perfect for winter.
LAC Taut Collagen Mask: I liked this sheet mask. Hydrating. Not biocellulose so not my all time favorite.
Bliss That’s Incredi-peel: This was an OK peel pad. Nothing that exciting. I prefer my liquids in a bottle.
Too Cool for School Pumpkin 24K Gold Mask: This was an OK sheet mask. Not biocelluslose so you know I’ll say not my favorite.
