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
DIOR BACKSTAGE Face & Body Primer 1.6 oz/ 50 mL

@CynthieLu I saw that at Ulta recently and it intrigued me. I wish it was in an airtight bottle, tho. So, it's a pass for me given the price. Shame.
@greeneyedgirl107 Oh good point. I've had a few C products oxidize on me in the past which was disappointing. I wonder how stable their vitamin C isโฆ
@Anonymous7
I knoooo the trial sizes I had were in cute little tubes, it's so true. I wish companies took surveys on bottles and improvements. There is so much room for improvement, why stick with a flawed design. Droppers the don't reach the bottom, faulty pumps, etc..
@CynthieLu As much as I enjoy the process of using droppers I agree, itโs impossible to get all the product out without a mini spatula. At least the bottle is opaque.
mine was the olaplex no 9! the first time I tried it, i immediately bought the full size!
@malgal10 Olaplex is awesome! I donโt use it nearly as much as I used to but it saved my hair during an extended bleaching adventure:)
I love Olaplex no.9 tooo @malgal10 I'm on my second bottle ๐ that stuff is so good!
it's amazing!!
Doesn't it make your day when you find something you love, @malgal10 ! ๐๐๐
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 didnโt realize it was scented, which doesnโt always play nicely with eczema. I tried some on my hands andโฆ 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 Iโm at work or on the go. Now Iโm 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. Iโm glad it didnโt cause any flare ups:)
@heartsmyface Itโs a nice lotion for sure! I spent a few more points to get a second sample size but I think theyโve 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.
Out of curiosity, whatโs your go to hand cream @CookieGirl1?
@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 ๐
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.
@Titian06 Add a few drops of oil to your unscented hand creams;).
@heartsmyface - Thanks! That is so obvious, but not something that ever entered my mind! You're so smart! ๐
@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!
@itsfi maybe or they could have improved on the formulaโฆthough 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;>
