THE SAMPLE POT






I'm always receiving or picking up samples, it's probably one of my favourite things to do when shopping, sad, I know. But without these fun sized treats, there's so many products I would have never bought or even considered. More often than not, these usually end up sitting in my square glass jar for a while, but I got my backside into gear and had a good look at what I can play with this weekend.

First up the Nars Orgasm illuminator - how do I use this?! Seriously, I've been desperate to give this a whirl for a while now and I just can't figure it out, so do give me a heads up! Something I actually picked up whilst I was in Manchester was the Lush Ultrabland cleanser. I'm a HUGE fan of this, seriously (updated review coming up soon!) and I regretted not taking this away with me, so I picked up a sample whilst there to give my noggin a good cleanse - sorry Lush! Not a sample, but it's small and something I wouldn't use often is the Lush Tea Tree Steamer Tab. You will be getting used this weekend, fear not! Since I had a massive breakout, my skin is going to really appreciate a good tea tree detox.

I love Origins for samples, and I usually pick up their products and my sample of the VitaZing moisturiser is no different, I'm in loooove. My boyfriend picked the Eve Lom and Cane+Austin samples when getting my birthday gift - VERY smart boy, I love a good serum and I've never used a Glycolic Treatment Pad! I keep wanting to use my Dermologica Daily Microfoliant samples, but I'm scared I'm going to love it and it's very pricey! Again, not a sample, but my Superdrug Vitamin E oil fits in here perfect, but I don't love it half as much as my Marula oil from African Botanics. It feels so luxurious and is really hydrating, the smell is something left to be desired though!

Ren, Ren, Ren, I just love you. You NEVER fail to impress me, and I'm going to be buying your Radiance Renewal Mask as soon as I can, because you are perfect. The BB cream
is brilliant - I've never been interested in the whole BB cream hype as I prefer a higher coverage base, but this is just beaaautifull.

So here's a look into my sample pot, but what do you keep stashed away for rainy days? :)

  4. I'm a sample junkie too, except I don't crack them open until I'm traveling. Also, I think I'm going to have to try the REN BB cream. See what you did there? Just one sentence about it and I'm already hooked. haha :) x

  7. I've never been one to pick up samples because I always feels like I need to buy something from them (especially higher end brands) or feel a bit nervous. But I think I will pluck up the courage and hopefully find some new products to love. I really want to get some Ren samples as I've heard such great things about the brand x

    1. I know what you mean, usually I go to them and say "I'm interested in products from your brand, this is my skin type, what do you recommend, do you have any trial size or samples I could take away with me?" :) I loooove REN! xx
