Sorry, I have been slacking on my reviews so I am doing two in one. I recieved a total of 6 samples in the last two months and to be honest there is a bit of a mixed package.
Oct samples were L'occitane divine cream, which needs little write up as it is a guarented hit with me. The other two were rose based samples. One a face cream the other a body lotion Neither of which came with a familar name, and to be perfectly honest with probably remain that name. Melvita rose skin duo, looked great. but the effets were equal to that of any supermarket brand and the scent was sickly and overwhelming. The body lotion was by Dr Bragi and yes it did provide execllent softness after application, however I also became a walking airfreshner scented of roses. Everywhere I went the air was left with a lingering scent of roses. Whilst on paper that sounds great, I found it way to much especially as the sample was only enough to o the top of my body, I dread to think what would happen if I had enough to do my entire body.
Novemeber samples included Royal Ballet body conditioner, Japaneseque tinted lip conditioner, and The Sactunary Spa themal face mask. The Royal Ballet Body conditioner good a favourable report from both mum and myself especially on tired achy legs, although I fear the cost may out weigh the benefit as at present I can't find the cost of a full size pot. The Japanesque lip conditioner, was a mmassive let down as it was basically a tiny box of q tips infused with a lip conditioner. I personally get better results from a tinted lip balm from Nivea. The sancutaury Spa themal face mask, however was brillant and I will be buying a bigger pack to get a better report as one trial is never enough to base a life of famdom on. Sanctuaryhowever is like L'Occitane, it is a quality name that matches its products, I have never been let down by their new ranges, as they take time to master the product to the high level they are known from.
So over all it has been a mixed bag of highs and lows, I am sorry if I sound hash on some products but I am not going to lie if I think the product isn't worth the time of day or over priced. This is a great way to try out new products though, as you don't have a high outlay just to be dissapointed.
