I know youโve tried a sample (or ten) of something and it was so magical it made you stop everything and buy a product cause it was love at first sample! What was it and did the full sized version live up to your initial heart-melted impression? Or is it still on your shopping list to pick up at your earliest convenience?
The first time I can recall this happening to me was when Sephora still carried Dermadoctor. I had a sample of their KP Duty Body Scrub. I used it just to push it through my stash and was absolutely blown away by how immediately soft and exfoliated my skin was! Instant purchase! Itโs been six years and I have yet to find any body scrub that compares -and Iโve tried!
A more recent love-at-first-sample is the Dior Backstage Face and Body Primer! Itโs a slightly peach tinted,creamy gel consistency and is mega hydrating while blurring subtle imperfections on its own but making foundation apply so smoothly!!! Plus it has a beautiful floral fragrance which may not be everyoneโs cup of tea but itโs very pleasing to me. ๐

@itsfi Oh gosh this oil is WONDERFUL!!! I bought a sampler of their oils and itโs what I call the โadult โversion of Body Shop Satsuma oil!
Turkish Rose is the fragrance that really grabbed me from the sampler set!
@heartsmyface, oh that is a great description for it - it does remind me of TBS Satsuma but softer and gentler. I've been layering it with Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine so I can make that latter one last as long as I can. I do want to try the Turkish Rose oil. I think I need to pick up the sampler set at some point - I know, another sampler set! ๐คฃ Maybe during the holiday sale, if I can get through 2 of the 4, or maybe its 5, fragrance sampler sets I have waiting for me. That'll be my motivation! Ha!
@itsfi I know๐ซฃ, perfume oil samplers seem to get my attention more than actual perfumes for some reason. perhaps theyโre not sampled as often?
i need to try more perfume layering- especially that combo! ha, my daytime perfume wearing is about to take a dip cause I started as a chocolatier and chocolate and fragrance donโt mix. What have I done to myself?
โโฆyou started as a chocolatierโฆโ @heartsmyface? Say more โฆ ๐ซ
@itsfi I really like the Nest Oils. I purchased the NEST New York Perfume Oil Discovery Set which led me to buy the NEST New York Indian Jasmine Perfume Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL . I originally received the orange seville like yourself!
@Mellmars1185, how strong is the Indian Jasmine oil? I have become more of a fan of white florals, including jasmine, over the last couple of years (that took me by surprise) but the scents I tend to go for lean towards the softer side.
@itsfi If you love Jasmine (cough cough) Bitter Peach;);). beautiful jasmine notes followed by a peachy sweetness.
Girl, that is on my list!! All thanks to you, @heartsmyface! I saw you mention it a few months back and I hightailed it to a Tom Ford counter to smell that baby! It smells ahhhhmaaaazing!! ๐ฅฐ I will be picking up a scent during the sale โฆ and it will be all your fault! ๐
@itsfi Oh you did manage to test it!!! Itโs so wonderful isnโt it??!!! I have so much enthusiasm pushing it on people (get me a job spritzing people a beauty counters๐) Haha, I will accept full responsibility for how good youโll smell. ๐
Great to know, @itsfi ! I love citrus scents. I might have a sample of this laying around now that I think about it. ๐
@Titian06, I love the freshness and sometimes tartness of citrus scents; very fresh and refreshing! Do you have a favorite (or maybe favorites) citrus scent?
@itsfi - You want me to pick just one?!? ๐คฃ
- Atelier Cologne Pomelo Paradise
- Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine
- The 7 Virtues Orange Blossom Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL
- The 7 Virtues Patchouli Citrus Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray
- NEST New York Citrine Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray
Beautiful list @Titian06! Never just one. Favorite or favorites - itโs always the latter for me. ๐
@itsfi - I meant to mention I did find my sample of NEST New York Seville Orange Perfume Oil Rollerball 0.20 oz / 6 mL . ๐๐๐
Yes!!!! ๐ Interested to get your take on it @Titian06! ๐ Totally understand if there are other fragrances ahead in the queue. Totally. Understand. ๐
I have a new item that really impressed me. I received samples of Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Medium Coverage Liquid Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid 11 Cool in shade 4 neutral. I used half of a packet and I was shocked how good my skin looked. I plan on trying it again later today before I order it. It did not settle in my lines and best of all it looked like my skin but better.
@Loretta55 This foundation is on my list. I have been wearing more sheer makeup lately so the rate Iโm going through what I own has slowed down substantially. Iโm teetering between this one and the Valentino which likely means my indecisive self will be getting both ๐ซฃ
@Loretta55 I got this and love it so much! You should go for it if you like dewy skin!
@Loretta55, this is a beautiful foundation! I remember it selling out like that when it launched. For good reason.
I have it sitting in my basket @itsfi @BluePaisley . I am waiting for the F&F sale to pull the trigger.
I got a sample of Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
I loved this stuff after my first use and every use after. I just put it on, let it sit, than massage all the eye make up right off. Than washed it all off with my regular cleanser ๐
A little bit goes a long way, as soon as my jar is empty i am going to buy the regular size version. My skin is soft and clean and not stripped at all ๐คฉ
