Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

 

* 11-27-18, last update for the year! *

 

Hi everyone, We are almost to the last month of our challenge, time flew by fast! For December, sonnydee, scott1201, and eshoe have an idea for a sub challenge called “Deluxe December” Use up as many deluxe samples as you wish! As always, post your progress weekly, or end of the month- whenever you want- including foil samples too. Thanks to all contributors, (anyone can participate at any time). ❤️

No makeup day with a pop of color on the lips!

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

Some recently used samples

The only samples I enjoyed and will purchase from this round are the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day conditioner and the 5 in 1 styling treatment. Amazing, made my hair look great! A++

The Clinique concealer was too dry looking, and the Clinique Pep Start eye cream gave me milia. 😞

The bareminerals bare pro foundation did not offer enough coverage and made my cheeks feel itchy, so I washed it off. 😞

Everything else was just kind of mediocre.

 

Thank you to those participating in the thread, I love seeing the samples used! ❤️ ❤️ Great work!!

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

I'm trying to work my way through the same Clinique eye cream sample; not loving it, though, and it seems like a never-ending tube!

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

I found there was way too much sparkle in the Pep Start.  From an eye cream, I don't want cosmetics.  If you're really peppy, leave it at caffeine extracts or green tea and call it a day!  😄

 

Sorry you had a bad reaction to it.

I had that same problem with the Clinique Pep Start! It's been months since I used it and I still have one hanging around on the inside of the bridge of my nose (I guess I'm sloppy-slash-generous with my eye cream application and just slather it all around). It broke out my temples pretty badly too, and it took forever for me to clear that up. 😥

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

It is so frustrating @RGbrown! It takes a long time to get rid of it too (for me)... sorry you had the same thing happen.

RE: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

I have so many samples, I have a drawer dedicated to them. I really should start using them or else I’ll feel like a hoarder!

RE: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

I like to pull out a few that I want to try for the week and keep them on the counter, or in with my regular products. Otherwise I forget about them when I’m getting washed and doing make-up. (The only down side is my husband likes to ‘clean’ things that don’t need cleaning, and puts the samples back into my drawer 🤦🏻‍♀️.)

That is why I started this challenge as a new year's reso...

That is why I started this challenge as a new year's resolution.

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

These had 14 foils used and three more items added to my lengthy wants list and one touché eclat purchased. I adore Tonka scents. YSL softens under Eye wrinkles and hides that sunken look of mature eyes, it’s golden.

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

Proud to have used up 11 foils. Yay for me. I enjoyed the Eva Lim cleanser but opted for something else due to price, I will get this if they ever reduce the price.  Didn’t like Sunday Riley  tidal cream because it wasn’t heavy enough for me nor was It hydrating like a water cream. All of these other samples are great and I’m going to purchase them at some point.

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

I am going through my samples at a slug’s pace, but here are my recently used ones.

I liked everything except the fresh sugar lip treatment- dried my lips out, glamglow mask- irritated my skin, and the living proof- it made my hair feel dirty even using a small amount. 😒

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

@CorgiMommyIt a good idea to keep track of how many you get in each week,I have been trying up use some up but only kept track of what I used each month not what I received.

I am really trying to decrease the number of samples and foils I have. I have bags of stuff.

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

Wow @CorgiMommy thats impressive! Whenever I get a La Mer sample it usually lasts me a few weeks, but I use LM only at night. 

I used the LeMar sample over a course of a few weeks. I o...

I used the LeMar sample over a course of a few weeks. I only post it as used in the week I finish something. I have about 10 deluxe samples currently in different stages.

Re: Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2018

Used some more foils. I’m trying to find spring summer fragrances so I want more samples till I’m sure I’ve made the right choice cause fragrance is expensive.

Giorgio Armani is nice but expensive I’ll try to dupe the look for less

Sheseido doesn’t make a color for black people

Amorepacific was too light not enough hydration or emollient seems overpriced
