I'm still on a mission to reduce my sample stash:
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer: I very rarely use primer, I just see it as an extra step and a bit of a faff really but I've read so many great reviews on this primer so hopefully it'll work well for me too. It's a silicone based primer but paraben free. Hurrah!
Talika Skin Retouch: I've never tried anything from Talika but Skin Retouch is a fluid for face, hands and neck. As far as I can tell it's a moisturiser but I'll have a look on google to find out exactly what it's for.
Estee Lauder Double Wear: I already own Double Wear but after placing an order online last year I received this sample in the shade 'Cashew' I think it's from the new colour range? Look's far too dark for me but I might try mixing it with a bit of moisturiser.
Mirenesse Velvet Lip Lift Moisture Shine: There's no shade name on the tube but the gloss is clear with teeny flecks of pink glitter running through. I've tried this out a few times before but wasn't impressed. I'm not sure where the 'Velvet Lip Lift Moisture Shine' bit comes from, it's just a plain basic gloss.
Nicky Clarke Instant Calmer: I haven't tried anything from Nicky Clarke in years! Instant Calmer claims to soften, add shine and control hair for a sleek luxe finish. Sounds good to me, lets hope it does what it says.
Jo Hansford Intensive Masque: Hair masks are my best friend but I recently came to the end of my mask stash. Sad times. My hair is a complete nightmare and needs all the help it can get so I'm looking forward to giving this a try. It's a 40ml tube so I doubt I'll get more than 2 uses from it.
Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm & Skin Smoothing Cream: Multivitamin Power Firm is a treatment to combat visible lines around the mouth and eyes. I plan to use this at night along with the Skin Smoothing Cream. I have a feeling they would be too heavy for me to use during the day plus it contains silicone and most facial skin care products containing silicone tend to roll off on me when I try the layer another product such as foundation on top.
I found a few products I ended up loving from my last Shopping My Stash post. The Rimmel BB Cream is surprisingly good and really affordable, I bought the full size last week. :)
Have you tried any of these products?
Ive got a couple of the same samples that need using up! I love the colour of that lip gloss.

I love the look of it too but on the lips it's just a clear gloss.

I tried the EL BB last year and liked it. It was a bit dark for me but still really nice. :) I include the samples in my monthly empties posts with mini reviews.

I've got a few of these samples in my stash too that I need to use up too! I've got a sachet of the Rimmel BB Cream somewhere too, so I might give that a go this week seeing that you bought a full size, must be good! :) x

It's brilliant for days when you don't need a 'proper' base and I love how it doesn't go shiny on my skin. Have you tried the Avon BB Cream? It's soooo good!

I love the feeling of using up samples! I might check out the Rimmel bb cream! xx
ReplyDeleteI've found some lovely new products through samples. Let me know what you think of the Rimmel BB if you try it. :)
