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. 🙂  

Dior BACKSTAGE Face & Body Primer 1.6 oz/ 50 mL

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick in Pillow Talk Medium - warm berry pink.  I was part of the GWP bag GOSLEIGH in the cult favorites.  One try of this lipstick and I purchased the full size.

I love Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick Pillow Talk Medium , @CorgiMommy !  Like you, I got a mini in some kit and turned around and bought the full size. 😄

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 Sephora knew what they were doing 

[heartsmyface]

I bought these a few weeks ago in NYC but these I most certainly bought because of the sample size I tired!   I immediately tried buying them here and they weren’t available!  I was sooooo tempted to but them straight from the UK but am glad a resisted a potential duty nightmare.  They were found and purchased on our Sephoria day one substitue adventure.  I am LOVING the pineappley goodness!   Isle of Paradise Confidently Clear Body Cleansing Wash Lactic & Salicylic Acids 11.15 oz / 330 mL (tagged the wrong item cause we legit can’t get the brilliantly bright body cleanser here.

@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 😩

[CookieGirl1]

@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 😁.

@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 

[heartsmyface]

@Safiiiii   Thanks for sharing! I love olaplex!  I was sent some Vegamour and haven’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. It’s unbelievably hydrating and sensitive skin friendly. I was really hoping to avoid adding more things to my planned haul later this month…

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

@JoSometimes  Laneige has a very good track record for me as well.  I’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.  

[JoSometimes]

@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 one…

The water and cica sleep masks have turned up at Winners/Marshall’s multiple times and I finally picked one the water one a few months ago. I can’t sleep without it now. 
That’s amazing that you got some Laneige products at Sephoria!

L'Oréal 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
