Sephora

I know you’ve 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! It’s been six years and I have yet to find any body scrub that compares -and I’ve tried!

A more recent love-at-first-sample is the Dior Backstage Face and Body Primer! It’s 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 everyone’s cup of tea but it’s very pleasing to me. 🙂

I picked up a sample size of Moroccanoil Hand Cream Fragrance Originale using some points. It was a bit of an impulse buy as I was paying for something else and didn’t realize it was scented, which doesn’t always play nicely with eczema. I tried some on my hands and… Yeah! Love at first sample! My hands feel smooth and moisturized, and it smells pleasant and fresh. I keep it in my bag and use it when I’m at work or on the go. Now I’m debating if I should replace my current hand cream at home with this or just pick up a mini to keep in my bag again.

@JoSometimes I love how convenient it is that the oil is IN the hand lotion! I usually add a few drops of oil to my lotions as I apply to make them more soothingly effective. I’m glad it didn’t cause any flare ups:)

JoSometimes · ‎03-06-2023

@heartsmyface It’s a nice lotion for sure! I spent a few more points to get a second sample size but I think they’ve removed it as one of the options now.

@JoSometimes I just used up a mini of this myself! It honestly wasn't my absolute fav but I did appreciate that it didn't feel greasy.

JoSometimes · ‎02-16-2023

Out of curiosity, what’s your go to hand cream @CookieGirl1?

CookieGirl1 · ‎02-16-2023

@JoSometimes you know, I don't have a specific one. I've tried several that I like but TBH I'm really bad about using hand creams 🙄

Titian06 · ‎02-15-2023

That's great to know, @JoSometimes ! I have been wondering just how good this hand cream is. I have extremely dry and cracked hands and serious issues with fragrance.

heartsmyface · ‎03-06-2023

@Titian06 Add a few drops of oil to your unscented hand creams;).

Titian06 · ‎03-06-2023

@heartsmyface - Thanks! That is so obvious, but not something that ever entered my mind! You're so smart! 😘

JoSometimes · ‎02-15-2023

@Titian06 When I first tried it, I was ready to run to the washroom so I could wash it off if my hands became irritated but they were completely fine!

I don't think I fully appreciated the original version of the serum when I first tried it @heartsmyface. But I remember enjoying the benefits of the serum. The reformulated version is even better than I remember the original being, or, it could be that I'm older now, making the results of the serum more meaningful and noticeable. And what are the results?

Hydrated, radiant, firm & plumpy skin.

@itsfi maybe or they could have improved on the formula…though I did recently revisit the CT Magic cream which I used to find too heavy and have been immensely enjoying it, so aging moisture thirsty skin may be a factor;>

The combination of this reformulation and my aging skin make a beautiful pairing @heartsmyface. 😆

Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer I got it in a mini jar and went ahead and paid the money for the full container. It’s such a good moisturizer I have dry skin and it’s not too heavy and it’s not light where I feel my skin tighten up a few minutes later. It’s a holy grail for me.
