Love At First Sample!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

I know youโ€™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!   Itโ€™s been six years and I have yet to find any body scrub that compares -and Iโ€™ve tried!

 

A more recent love-at-first-sample is the Dior Backstage Face and Body Primer!  Itโ€™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 everyoneโ€™s cup of tea but itโ€™s very pleasing to me. ๐Ÿ™‚  

Dior BACKSTAGE Face & Body Primer 1.6 oz/ 50 mL

@Safiiiii same for me with the LAWLESS Forget The Filler Lip Plumper Line Smoothing Gloss ! I got a DS size in a SC Favourites set a while ago and immediately fell in love ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Re: Love At First Sample!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

@Safiiiii I LOVE the LAWLESS Forget The Filler Lip Plumper Line Smoothing Gloss formula.  I probably have about 6 or 7 in my backup stash right now ๐Ÿ˜.

@heartsmyface Also forgot to add Vegamour HYDR-8 Deep Moisture Repair Mask for Dry, Damaged Hair 5 oz / 147 mL Olaplex Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner Set For Soft, Shiny, Healthy Hair 

Re: Love At First Sample!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

@Safiiiii   Thanks for sharing! I love olaplex!  I was sent some Vegamour and havenโ€™t tried it in my bid to use open products up.  My curiosity is peaked.

I got a trial of LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL. I already had a strong feeling I would end up loving it before I even cracked it open. Itโ€™s unbelievably hydrating and sensitive skin friendly. I was really hoping to avoid adding more things to my planned haul later this monthโ€ฆ

Please excuse the messy lid. This was after fishing out every last drop inside. 

Re: Love At First Sample!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

@JoSometimes  Laneige has a very good track record for me as well.  Iโ€™m currently loving the kit I got at Sephoria for its hydration!  Ha and I find myself resisting getting more flavours of the lip sleeping mask.  

Re: Love At First Sample!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

@heartsmyface I resisted buying the lip sleep mask for the longest time because I bought one from COSRX. That is, until they rereleased the mango oneโ€ฆ

The water and cica sleep masks have turned up at Winners/Marshallโ€™s multiple times and I finally picked one the water one a few months ago. I canโ€™t sleep without it now. 
Thatโ€™s amazing that you got some Laneige products at Sephoria!

L'Orรฉal Professionnel Metal Detox Strengthening Hair Oil 1.7 oz / 50 ml 

This stuff smells so good, but it is a strong fragrance, the sample absolutely got me!!

I tried it on my hair damp and I ended up with healthy soft curls with no frizz in the morning
