The Sunday Post #28 – Beauty Samples

ByLisa Jayne 



For years it seems like I’ve been collecting, or more like hoarding, beauty samples. Samples of products I’m considering buying, samples from magazines, samples from orders, samples from pretty much anywhere! I just seem to collect them. For year’s I’ve had a box in my room which I call my sample box, everytime I get a new one, I add it to my stash. Problem is although I’m good at adding to the stash, I’m not very good at actually using the samples, I just seem to forget all about them.




So this weekend I decided to have a good sit down, and take a look through my sample box to see what samples of products I actually have. Before I took a look I thought the majority of the samples would probably be rubbish, or that I wouldn’t use them, but after taking a good look I found that I actually had some pretty decent products. I discovered all sorts of goodies, such as products from Origins, Garnier and Dermalogica*, all of which have been completely neglected and forgotten about. 








Now that I’ve rediscovered some of these forgotten about samples, it’s time to start actually using them! So this weekend is all about having a good pamper with my beauty samples. I’ve found samples of shampoo and hair masks to give my hair a bit of life, which I applied once I had a bath with a sample of bubble bath I found. Once I’d finished my long soak, I applied a sample of a facemask, and used a body lotion. I’ve even got samples of serums, eye creams, and moisturisers to use tomorrow morning, along with a gorgeous smelling perfume sample to wear for the rest of the week. Now that I’ve made a small dent in my samples stash, it’s time to use up the rest of them!

Hello October, how did we get here so quickly? The past month just whizzed by for me, as I finally started redecorating my room, and I finally got a job – yay! It’s gone so quickly that I found it hard to keep up with products I’ve been using let alone which ones have actually been…

	

	
	







		

		


			

			
							
		

		
My Everyday 5 Minute Face

	ByLisa Jayne					
											
					



	

		
I’m the sort of person who likes to put sleep as my highest priority, so on days I’ve got work I choose the option to sleep more than spend longer getting ready for work. And as I’ve been working a lot lately I’ve not been wearing a great deal of make up. So I thought…

So its drawing nearer and nearer to summer! Gone are the dark depressing evenings, replaced with beautiful sunny days! As summer is approaching I decided I needed a new nail varnish that fitted in with the summer. After reading many of your blogs I saw this Barry M ‘Mint Green’ shown a lot on your NOTD’s…

Serums are still something relatively new to me when it comes to skin care, I’ve only been using them for the past year. Over the past year I’ve got around to using a couple of different ones and found a couple of favourites that I like to switch around and use. L’Oreal Paris Youth Code…
