Love At First Sample!!! 🥰

[heartsmyface]

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. 🙂

@peculiarzmakeup @ather @I also absolutely loved the 54 Thrones Ugandan Vanilla sample! It smells amazing, and it left my hands feeling so soft and nourished. Now I’m super curious about trying their other products as well! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I've tried different detox shampoo's over the years and while I have found some good ones here and there, I always find myself coming back to OUAI Detox Shampoo. 💖 

 

I recently went into one of my local stores and asked about detox shampoos - to see what else might be out there that I should at least try, a couple of the Sephora castmembers provided me some recommendations, each included the Ouai in their recs. Makes sense, it does what it's intended to, and it does it beautifully. I typically have anywhere from 1-3 detox / clarifying shampoos on hand - the Ouai is always one of them. 🐐

@itsfi  I believe this was also one of my favs after using a sample too! I used it today!!! Plus I love the smell!!
