Shopping My *Sample* Stash #11

For this fortnights Shopping My Stash post I thought I would do something a bit different and only include samples. My Samples stash has passed the overflowing point so to help me make some space (for more samples no doubt) I thought this would be a good move.
 
Sephora Super Loaded Age Defy Serum & Age Defy Moisture Cream SPF 15: I have 2 samples of each of these and yes they're from Sephora which can only mean one thing, Lina! :D I adore Sephora makeup so hopefully the skin care is good too.

Phyto Express Conditioner for weakened damaged hair: I think Lina sent this sample too? She looks after me doesn't she. lol I've tried this conditioner before when it came in one of the FeelUnique beauty boxes but can't remember if I liked it or not. Looking forward to giving it another go.
 
John Masters Vitamin C Anti-Aging Face Serum: All the hair care products I've tried from John Masters have been fantastic but this will be the first skin care product I've tried. I'm kind of hoping I don't fall in love, the prices make my eye's water!
 
REN Invisible Pores Detox Mask: I completely forgot I had this sample! The reviews I've read have been good and anything that promises to make my pores look smaller excites me. 
 
Burberry Lip Cover 'Rosewood': How cute is this lipstick, it's only the same length as my baby finger yet perfectly formed. The shade looks quite dark but my lips are really pigmented so on me it looks natural. This came in the Harrods Glossybox last year but hasn't had much love from me.
 
Benefit They're Real!: Everyone and their dog seem to love this mascara. It's recieved Holy Grail status from so many bloggers but for me it was a bit of a miss. I've only used it a few times though, maybe once it's dried out a bit I'll like it more.
 
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel: I love cleansers. They're without a doubt the one skin care product I get most excited about. I love the whole cleansing process and once you've found 'The One' you've almost won the bad skin battle. I found mine last year in the form of Sarah Chapman Ultimate Cleanse. I'm now the proud owner of a full sized tube and use it religiously but y'know what we're like, we still like to try new things.
 
Rimmel BB Cream: I've kinda backed away from BB creams after being unable to find one I really love. Admittedly I haven't tried many but the few I have just didn't impress me. I've heard great things lately about the Rimmel version but didn't even know I had a sample untill my sample box got tipped upside down.
 
So that's yer lot for this fortnight, let's hope I get on well with atleast one of them.
 
Have you shopped your stash?

    1. I was excited to try it but after the first use I just didn't get what all the fuss was about. Glad I didn't buy it.
