Time for the really late September Samples & Empties Post. Quick thoughts about each staring above.
iS Clinical Copper Firming Mist: I liked this. It’s not stellar or most favorite mist ever list. I love the copper in it for sebum control and wound healing. I hated the package it came in. It leaked a lot from the top. I think it’s since been repackaged.
Make P:rem Peel me: This was a great gentle PHA acid toner. Review HERE.
Omorovicza Nourishing Hand Treatment: I love this light to medium weight hand cream. So light yet nourishing. Review HERE.
Omorovicza Blue Diamond Resurfacing Peel: I adore this mask. It’s a lactic acid mask so it’s gentle. While it’s gentle it’s also so powerful. Two minutes is literally all you need. It has a hydrating texture so it’s never drying. Think same texture as Farmacy Honey Potion or OSKIA Renaissance Mask. I would 100% purchase again. Review HERE.
Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea: I liked this. It’s not the most complex mist so I probably wouldn’t repurchase. I just have others I like better. I like this better than the Rose Herbivore mist.
Herbivore Coco Rose: You know how much I love this body scrub by now. My all time favorite. Review HERE.
VENN All-in-One Concentrate: I was so skeptical of this at first but I absolutely loved it. It works phenomenally. Review HERE.
Su:m 37 Secret Essence: I loved this. A fermented essence. I would easily repurchase. Review HERE.
JKosmmune Serum: This was such a good beta glucan soothing and hydrating serum. The bottle lasted forever too. Review HERE.
OSKIA Nutri-Active Day Cream: I love this stuff. This was my third bottle I think. It’s a creamy lotion texture. Review HERE.
NIOD Re:Pigment: This stuff is great for pigmentation. Its one of the only things that ever worked for me for pigmentation well. I would absolutely repurchase. Review HERE.
Activist Signature Hyaluronic Acid Serum: I liked this. Nice light thin texture. Review HERE.
Omorovicza Oxygen Booster: This is my favorite Omorovicza serum. It just gives a glow boost to the skin. Review HERE.
Truly Organic Moon Rocks: Blue tansy in a body scrub. Yes please.
Butter & Me Body Shine: I liked this scrub. However, the scent is way too powerful for me.
eos Shave Cream Vanilla Bliss: Love this. Staple for years. Cheap. Review HERE.
REN Neroli & Grapefruit Body Cream: I loved how light this was. Almost like a whipped lotion. I love neroli so it was a win win. It wasn’t heavy which I loved.
John Masters Organics Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner: An all time favorite conditioner. Review HERE.
Texas Collections Hand Cream: This was a random thing I grabbed at H-E-B one day. Loved the scent. It’s light & refreshing. I’ve never seen it again after I grabbed it.
SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser: This was OK. A basic gel AHA cleanser. I don’t really care for AHA/BHA in a cleanser as it washes off so quickly. I want it in my acid toner right after.
Shiseido Facial Cotton: This used to be my all time favorite cotton pad. So soft, never sheds. It’s been replaced by Klairs however because Shiseido holds too much liquid. I waste product. Review HERE.
Manyo Factory Thermal Water Mineral Cream: I liked this. Lightweight cream yet nourishing. I let it expire so I ended up using it mostly on my body.
Sisley Floral Toning Lotion: This is just OK. Way too scented for me. Really pricey too.
Osmosis Clear Activating Mist: This was OK. Not my favorite mist just because it was OK.
Sente Pollution Shield: I liked this sunscreen. It’s a tinted mineral. It’s thicker in texture that I prefer and not my all time favorite. But it’s quite far from being my worst mineral sunscreen ever.
Naturallogic Flourishing Cleanser: I loved this creamy turns oil then emulsifies cleanser. Just bought a big one.
The Truth Serum: I wanted to like this as it seems like a cult favorite. I don’t like the oil based texture.
Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara: Eh I wasn’t a fan. It was nothing special.
Tom Ford Lip Color Sheer Edita: I finished another lipstick woo hoo. Love the Tom Ford sheer formula. This is a shimmering peachy pink shade. Review HERE. Sold out.
Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Brows Brigitte: I liked the formula and color of this a lot. The brush is a bit tiny I wish it was a little bigger. Review HERE.
Clarity RX Get Fit Multi-Peptide Serum: I liked this sample. Great texture.
Hadalabo Mask: This was hydrating. It wasn’t my favorite sheet mask mostly due to shape and material (non biocellulose).
Skyn Plumping Lip Gel: I like these. These are for more rare occasions for me. I took this to New York for the New Beauty event.
Skyn Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels: I also took these to New York. I love them because they’re good yet affordable. Review HERE.
Joanna Vargas Bright Eye Firming Mask: Love these eye gels. So hydrating & brightening. Review HERE.
Beverly Hills MD Ageless Volume Hyaluronic Face Mask: I love the serum in this mask. Sadly it’s paper. I wish it was bio cellulose. More to come.
Instytutum Flawless Skin Mask: I also too this to New York. It’s bio cellulose and amazing. Easily one of my favorite sheet masks. Review HERE.
Sisley White Ginger Contouring Oil: I love how this has a warming sensation. It’s thick and hydrating. So pricey.
In Fiore Soleil Fleur: This is a creamy before sun treatment. I liked it but small sample who knows if you like it in the long run.
Bitgoa Hue Essence Toner: I liked this. Nice hydrating essence, low fragrance.
Herbivore Lapis: This is OK. It’s just not my favorite blue tansy oil.
ORIBE Shampoo & Conditioner for Beautiful Color: Love this shampoo & conditioner. Oribe just makes killer stuff and this is my favorite line.
Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel: This is a nice hydrating gel with aloe & propolis. I would grab a big one some day.
JKosmmune Lotion: This is a nice unscented hydrating lotion. Light.
Su:m37 Water-full Timeless Water Gel Cream: I didn’t like this one that much, nice emulsion but too scented.
Reverie MILK: Love this hydrating creamy leave in treatment. I bought a big one.
LAB L Skin Supplement Vitamin B5: This was nice. Hydrating thicker serum texture.
Chanel Sublimage La Creme Yeux: Loved this. More than I thought I would. Hydrating.
Saturday Skin Freeze Frame Beauty Essence: I liked this. Basic essence. It wasn’t a wow me product.
LUXE Botanics CAMU Brightening Serum, Moisturizer & Cleanser: I liked the serum the most of these three. Nice line overall.
LUXE Botanics KIGELLA Clarifying Serum: Nice gel serum texture I liked it.
LUXE Botanics MARULA Hydrating Pre Cleanser: This is an oil based cleanser that smells completely divine. I so loved it. Might be my next cleansing oil purchase.
