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

Fun question @heartsmyface ! I remember 2 products that were love at first sample: TOM FORD Black Orchid Eau de Parfum Fragrance DIOR Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss I didn't end up buying the full size of the Tom Ford perfume, just because it's so strong, and the samples were enough for me to use it for quite a while ๐Ÿ˜. And for Dior, every mini lippie or sample of lip products that I have tried, I immediately bought the full size, and I love them all! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’•

@Skunk12puzzola  Oh gosh!   It was Velvet  Orchid I fell in love with, but I also had so many samples that they held me over until my fickle self moved on to the next best scent! ๐Ÿ˜„ They are very strong!  If they released a coinciding hair mist for their fragrances I would likely be more inclined to buy them to wear as perfume. 
The Dior Lip Maximizer I use near daily!   AERIN Rose Lip Conditioner is another Love at First Sample!!!  Itโ€™s got a rose scent but i was cutting the tube of the mini sample open to get to every last drop of it out!  Ha, wow, I forgot that one!  Pulling it to use today!

Omg @heartsmyface ! velvet orchid is also sooooo nice, a little less strong than black orchid, but still so good. Yes, I love all the Dior lippies range! I just bought the lip serum, and is very nice ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿฅฐ DIOR Lip Maximizer Serum 0.17 oz/ 5mL
