Sample Bin Ruffle

I'm ruffling through my sample bin again. I will be showing the five new samples I picked as well as reviewing the last five samples.

The Review (here)

Philosophy Cleanser

I actually didn't like this product at all. I felt it didn't clean my skin and I believe this made me break out.

Urban Decay Primer Potion

I was really looking forward to trying this sample, but unfortunately it had dried up. I did not get a chance to try it.

Tarte BB Primer in light

I wrote about this sample in my recent favorites here. I really love this primer. I didn't like using it as a BB cream. As a primer, I believe it would be perfect to use under BB creams because it adds that little bit of extra coverage.

GlamGlow Youth Mud

I have the travel size version of this mask and I love it. This sample was no different. I decided to use this sample so the product didn't dry up.

The New

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

This is an eye shadow primer that is supposed to prevent shadows from creasing, fading, melting and blurring. This is a silicone based product that evens out the skin tone on your eye lids and smoothest lines while creating a barrier between the oils of your skin and your makeup.




Bare Minerals Stroke of Light

This is an eye brighter that helps brighten dark circles, dark shadows and it eliminates the appearance of fine lines. This product is supposed to provide a refreshed and even tone look. I unfortunately don't know what color this sample is in.







Anastasia Brow Gel

This is a clear brow gel that is supposed to have extreme hold. This product is also long wearing. I am very excited to try this brow gel as I have only tried drugstore options.




Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

This mascara claims to give clump free lashes because the formula is not too wet and not too dry. This mascara is also not supposed to be sticky. This product is formulated with proteins that promote lash growth. I unfortunately do not have the subversion primer to try with this product.






First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser

I already know I love this cleanser. I have included it in this post because it is a sample size but also because I am traveling home this month and decided this was the perfect size to bring with me. I also want to use as many samples as possible. This face cleanser removes surface oils, make up, dirt and grime. It is also great for sensitive skin.

What samples are you trying? Let me know in the comments below.

Sample Bin Ruffle

I used up my last samples (here), I will be giving a mini review on them and I found new ones to try!

Review

Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil- Gel

I had two sample packets of this product and to be completely honest I didn't like using it. I found this product didn't make my skin feel clean at all.

Make Up Forever HD Primer

I got two uses out of this sample and I really enjoyed it. This left my skin feeling really smooth and it acted as a great base to apply my make up too.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Ceylon

I barely had any product in this sample because it had mostly dried up. I did have enough for one use and I did enjoy the way it made my skin look 'glowy'. This foundation is a sheer foundation but I was able to build it up in some areas that needed more coverage.

Urban Decay Naked Skin in Shade 2

I did get two uses out of this sample. I really enjoyed the weightless feeling of this foundation. I found this had better coverage than the Sheer Glow but I wished it left my skin looking more dewy.

The New

Philosophy Cleanser

This is a 3 in 1 cleanser for the face and eyes. This cleanser can soothe dry and sensitive skin. This product dissolves impurities, dirt and makeup. I am very excited to try this sample because I am always trying to find products that work well on my dry and sensitive skin.







Urban Decay Primer Potion

This product provides a smooth base for eye shadows while concealing redness on the eyelid. This product also makes colors look more vibrant. Since I personally don't wear a ton of eye shadow on a daily basis, I like to apply eye shadow primers under my liner to make it last longer.

Tarte BB Primer in light

This is a tinted skin treatment that can be worn alone or under makeup. This product claims to have 12 hour wear, minimizes pores, brighten skins and has Buildable coverage. This product is oil free and has a SPF of 30. This primer also has many skin benefits and anti aging properties. Trying different and new primers is my favorite.






Glam glow Youth Mud

I have this product in the travel size but I got this sample in one of my Sephora bags and have decided I need to use it before it dries up. This is a mud mask that is also an exfoliator. I wrote about this mask here.


Do you have a sample bin that need to be ruffled through? Share some of the samples you want to try with me in the comments.

Sample Bin Ruffle

Literally Over Flowing

I have a basket where I keep all of the samples I get from Sephora, both in store and online and Ipsy. In the basket I also keep deluxe size samples I get from the different holiday kits and sampler packs Sephora comes out with. I noticed that my sample bin was getting quite full and I decided to make a post out of it.

Today, I am going to pick 4 samples to use up. Once these samples are finished, I will post how I liked them (or not!) along with 4 new samples to use. This will continue until I use up most of them. On to the first set of samples!



Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Ceylon


I got this sample after I did the color IQ at Sephora. Basically they have a machine that they place on different spots on your face, that doesn't have make up, to find you IQ number. This number then matches you to every foundation in the store that will match your skin tone and undertones. It is very cool and suggest  having it done! This foundation is sheer but can be built up. This foundation has a weightless formula that hydrates and brightens the skin.





Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil- Gel x2

This cleansing oil-gel is an antioxidant packed formulated to remove impurities and makeup while protecting the skin's moisture barrier. This cleansing product also hydrated and protects the skin. I got one of the samples when I bought my Boscia Cleansing Sponge.

Make Up For Ever HD Primer

I have no idea how I got this sample. I already know I love this product as I have had a sample before this one. This product does make my skin feel very smooth and it helps my makeup go on my smoothly and helps it last longer. This product works exceptionally under the Make Up For Ever HD Foundation. This product also comes in different colors to help color correct.





Urban Decay Naked Skin in Shade 2

I got this sample at the same time as the Nars sample. This is a weightless and almost invisible foundation that creates a luminous, Demi-matte finish. This foundation  is formulated with light-diffusing spheres making you look professionally retouched.




That is all of the samples I am going to use up. Have you tried any of these products? And does anyone else have a crazy amount of samples?
