I've got some pretty nice samples waiting in the wings to be trialled, and I'm enjoying this relaxed project even more than I thought I would! It feels so positive to be actually using the products and documenting my thoughts and first impressions - it satisfies the hoarder in me to have a record of things and new stuff keeps the beauty junkie in me alive, too!
I managed to squeeze two uses from this sample size, and it really highlighted how ineffective my current hair mask is (that I use as conditioner!) I tend to stick with drugstore hair products but this smelt nice and did a good job of softening my strands, so who knows!
Lush Yummy Mummy Shower Gel
I actually finished this a little while ago (seen in my empties!) but forgot to include it in my sample project! I didn't mind the strong iris scent but there are others from Lush that I prefer so I will stick to buying those.
YSL Shocking Faux Cils Mascara
This mascara is a thing of beauty - I am pretty lucky in the lash department but never has it been more evident than when I'm wearing this bad boy! The downside to this is that I now despise most of my current lash options as they pale in comparison to this...
Estee Lauder Modern Muse
I absolutely adore this scent, and have used up another sample vial of it in the past, too. It's a scent I spray on anytime I pass an Estee Lauder counter, which says to me that I need to pick up a full size in the future!

Sounds like that EL scent is calling to you! I'm keeping note of my likes and loves as I go through my samples and I'm drafting quite a shopping list - I totally see how doing this project helps keep the beauty addiction thriving too!
ReplyDeleteI find it to be so enthralling for some reason - actually all of the EL scents I've sampled have been above par now that I think about it! I haven't got too big of a list but am enjoying noting my feelings on each item - then once I pare back my collection I can be sure I'll only add great items back in!
DeleteLovely samples :)
ReplyDeleteI´ve heard so many good things about the YSL Shocking Faux Cils mascara that I´m not surprised you love it :) I

Thanks Anna! It's definitely one of the best mascaras I've ever used, wish it wasn't so expensive though!
DeleteYou're doing well. Samples are soooo annoying to finish (especially when it's a one use skincare sample).
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I don't mind sachet body samples etc but it's hard to gauge how effective a product can be on a one use facial sample, which is frustrating!
