My dad handed me the package that arrived here and he was
also curious to find out what could be inside, so he stood there while I pushed
all the contents of the bag on my bed and he was pretty impressed. How’s that
for a supportive father? He even suggested getting me a side table for all my
cosmetics to be situated in my room. He likes the fact that I’m spending time
bonding with him here at home because I’m taking a break from work.
Fun fact
about my Dad: he is an avid user of the Physiogel moisturizer also from
#sampleroom.
This is Sample Room’s second goodie bag with the theme
Inspire. Do the contents inspire? You will find out.
The tools included in this bag are the ReveN Natural
Cleansing Sponge for the face which I’m really pleased with. It should be great
for cleansing in the evenings. There’s also the Charm Pro Flat Liner Brush, I
was hoping to get something similar to an eyeshadow blending brush but this
will do. I’ve felt the bristles and they’re really soft. The only downside is
that the ferrules were disattached from the wand when I tried to realign it,
but that’s something a little super glue can just handle.
Sample Room has been all about discovering new beauty
products and I like that it’s all natural. Could you believe that I haven’t
heard of AHAVA and probably would not have paid attention to it? But because of
Sample Room including this set in my goodie bag, I’m learning to love this
brand. It looks all so high-end, and I like that the Comforting Cream is really
intense with its moisturizing properties. The Hand Cream has a subtle scent
which I am fond of. Just the other day I was worried that I would be running
out of Eye Makeup Remover, having shared the rest with my Mom and I’m really
glad I got another from my loot. There are a couple of Gentle Body Exfoliators
in sample sizes so I’m going to test it out against my local body scrub brand.
I’ve reviewed the Pevonia Enzymo-Spherides Peeling Cream
some time ago, and now I have a travel size bottle with me! Hurray! I’m not so
fond of brightening masks but this one from Shisheido just says “try me”. And so
I will.
As for cosmetics, I have a ZA Perfect Action Mascara; the
tube is a little too bulky but it’s still manageable. There’s also a lipstick from
Collection Cosmetics in Sweet Tarte that has a sweet scent and comes in an
intense pink color. The NYX Butter Gloss is very convenient and comes in a
Cherry Cheesecake label though it looks like an orange-coral shade that’s just
perfect for the summer.
Lastly, here’s another one for an On: Fragrances post for
Raisie Speaks.This has got to be a sweet treat. I was meaning to keep my eye on United Colors of Benetton's Let's Love Woman when it hit availability on Sample Room but it required so many points. I'm just happy that it's included here in the bag.
I didn't take photos of the printed brochures included in the bag.
I would say that the contents are pretty inspiring, not to mention, the loot bag has a good selection and mixture of skin care products, cosmetics, tools and fragrances. It's a good to start to inspiring someone who needs some much needed boost.
Diolch Yn Fawr Sample Room!
That's thank you in Welsh. =)
