Project Sample Use Up 025
Kerastase Homme Daily Treatment Shampoo // Despite this being a shampoo for men, who says I can't use it? It worked just as well as your standard shampoo but I wouldn't buy the full size as I'm liking what I'm using at the moment.
Laura Mercier Vanilla Amber Body Creme // This scent started to become a little bit too sickly sweet the longer I used it so I think if I was to buy this cream again I'd go for a different scent. I hoping another LM set will go into the Space Nk sale like it did last year!
OPI Nail Polish in Don't Know Beets Me // This is your standard pink creme polish that I used on my toes a lot last summer. No matter how much nail polish thinner I used I just couldn't get it to go back to how it's meant to be so it's time to throw it away. I think I've had it for like six years or something so it's about time!
Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream x2 // I really don't get the hype surrounding this product and didn't think it was anything special. It worked well but took a long time to sink in especially if I was a little heavy handed when applying it. I have other products that work a lot better than this so I'm glad I never bought the full size.
TRESemme Keratin Smooth 7 Day Smooth System Heat Activated Treatment x2 // You apply this treatment to towel dried hair and then straighten your hair to activate it. You'll then be left with smoothe frizz-free hair that it meant to stay straighter for longer. The directions say to apply the whole sachet but despite having very long hair, I found this too much and probably only used about half. If I was to apply anymore then my hair would have felt very sticky. Although I curled my hair after this instead of straightening it, I can't say I noticed much difference to my hair which was a shame.
TRESemme Renewal Hair & Scalp Nourish & Renew Shampoo & Conditioner x2 // I quite liked this shampoo and conditioner but I don't think I'd buy the full sizes of either.
Living Proof Full Thickening Cream // I was a bit disappointed in this thickening cream as I didn't notice a difference after applying it.
Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser Skin Conditioner // I've already finished the full size bottle of this body conditioner and went to repurchase the other day but I couldn't find it in Asda. I don't have to apply a body moisturiser after using this which is always a bonus to me so I'll pick another bottle up next time I'm in Boots.
Beautannia Brighton Bath & Shower Gel x2 // I was disappointed with the scent of this, it smelt like your traditional "old lady" scent and I really didn't like it.
Phyto Phytobaume Hydration Express Conditioner // I really want to try more Phyto products and I really liked this conditioner. It's extremely moisturising and I already have a 50ml tube to use.
A little off topic but, I am so envious of your photography skills Katy! Its one of a kind! :-)

Thank you so much! It's definitely the part of blogging I enjoy the most! I always really like your photos as well :) xx
DeleteWow, you're so good using up all your sachets. I always tell myself I'll try them out but have a huge stash of them hiding on a shelf. I'll have to follow your lead and get testing!

This lot was quite easy as most of them were just one use sachets :) xx
DeleteI'm such a hoarder when it comes to samples....I think it's the best way to find new products. I agree the LM Vanilla Amber is on the sweeter side, but it last long!

What was it that made you decide to curl after the keratin treatment? So annoyed as I desperately hoped it would work to save me the bill of the salon version (which works like a dream on my hair!).
ReplyDeleteIt might work for you, still give it a try! I've got another sachet, I could pop it in the post for you??? When I curl my hair and want it curly all week for work I always straighten it before I curl it. My hair is naturally frizzy so if I haven't straightened it before curling and a drop of rain touches it then it just frizzes up and looks a mess :) xx
DeleteSounds like your hair is similar to mine actually, though the back has a completely different mind of its own (which the salon treatment tames). I think I may have a sachet kicking around at my Mum's place but I've got your email now and if it's not there I'll message you to see if you still have it? So kind :) xx
