Project Sample Use Up 024

Lea Journo Hydra-Riche Hydrating Conditioner // This was an ok conditioner but not really worth the £21 price tag. I also found the packaging a bit difficult to use one handed.

Laura Mercier Fresh Fig Hand Cream //  I've kept this little hand cream in my bag as it was the perfect size. I love the fresh fig scent but there was something about this scent that was just a bit too strong and overwhelming especially when I was using it in work. I think I prefer the scent as bath products where they don't linger for hours after and interfere with the perfume I'm wearing. I liked the formula so I'd probably look into a different more subtle scent if I was to repurchase.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting // I already have a mini bottle of this serum so no need to think about buying the full size. Although I haven't used this for long enough to really tell if it's made a difference to my complexion it has made my skin feel nice and keeps it hydrated.

Yes! Nurse Protect Your Lovely Hands Hand Cream x5 // This was just an ok hand cream and I wouldn't buy the full size. I much prefer the other hand creams I have like Aesop Resurrection Hand Balm.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser // I was pretty disappointed with this cleanser as I've loved all the other products I've tried from Fresh so far. Luckily I only had this sample sachet and hadn't bought the full size. I only got about two uses from the sachet but it irritated my skin a bit while I was using it so I was glad to finish it despite it being marketed as a gentle for all skin types cleanser. It's unusual for me to reach for a foaming cleanser, I tend to stick with balms, and this felt like it dried my skin out too much plus it's pretty expensive.

Bumble And Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Shampoo & Conditioner // Even from only getting one use out of these sachets I was really impressed with how well the shampoo and conditioner worked. My hair not only smelt amazing but it felt incredibly soft without feeling too fluffy. Once I finish the shampoo I'm currently using I'll be buying the full size of both.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-purpose Dry Oil // There was a surprising amount in this sachet and got one full body application from it. I really like body oils as they're incredibly moisturising and also can be used as a bath oil as well. This particular oil is a dry oil so it sinks into the skin very quickly and easily and I can put my pj's on pretty much straight away after applying it. This can also be used as a hair or face oil as well. I already have a mini bottle so wont be needing to buy the full size just yet.

Giovanni 2 Chic Or Not 2 Chic? Shampoo & Conditioner // This was an ok shampoo and conditioner and while it was nice to use it didn't impress me that much.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume // I already have the full size Daisy Dream perfume and just found this one use sample in a magazine so thought I'd save it. This version is quite different to the original Daisy and reminds me a lot of YSL Parisienne which I also love.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Perfume // I'm not sure if it's still available but on the Jo Malone website you could request a postcard sample to be sent to you so I was able to try the new perfume that everyone has been raving about. It's just as lovely as I had hoped it would be but I really don't need any more perfumes especially an expensive one from Jo Malone.

One Direction Our Moment Perfume // This was a nice scent, and another one from a magazine, but it wasn't anything special. It just sort of reminded me of a general celebrity scent unlike some others which stand out and smell more expensive than they are.
