Sample Sunday: Kate Somerville, Ole Henriksen and Dead Sea Premier

1. Kate Somerville

CytoCell Dermal Energizing Treatment

 This is supposed to stimulate stem cell activity. I don't know if it does, but I like the way it feels when I put it on. My skin has gotten really smooth and much more even since I started using the Clarisonic. I've been able to try so many products without irritation. Some products seem to help improve my skin and some don't seem to do anything. Honestly I couldn't tell the difference with this. I won't purchase the full size.

2. Ole Henriksen

Truth Serum Collagen Booster

for all skin types

Another product I didn't notice a huge difference with, but I do like the consistency and packaging. I also like that I didn't have to use another moisturizer at night along with this serum. I don't know if I will ever purchase a full size version. I have a lot of samples to go through.

3. Dead Sea Premier

Instant Stretching and Revializing Mask

This is the typical Dead Sea mud mask. I have enough masks that I won't need to buy one for some time.

Sample Sunday: Kate Somerville, Boscia and Make Up For Ever

I have a lot of samples. A lot. I sell most of them on eBay or give them away, but some I keep for myself. These are a few I've tried recently.

1. Kate Somerville ExfoliKate 

Intensive Exfoliating Treament for all skin types.

I've used this treatment a couple of times before and I really like it. It really burns my face so it makes me think something is working, but I don' think it's supposed to burn as much as it does. I might be sensitive to it.  It smells Herbally. A bit like tea. ExfoliKate is a grainy, green cream. You're supposed to apply it in circular motions for 30 seconds to clean, wet skin and let it sit for up to 2 minutes. Then rinse. I used this sample after I had a hormonal breakout. It did just what I wanted and left a clean, soft face. My spots dried up and I'm good as new. ExfoliKate has parabens so I won't purchase the full size, but I will use up he samples I have.

2. Boscia B.B. Cream

SPF 27 PA++

I used this packet up in a couple of days. The color was dark for me, but I love the finish and the SPF. There seems to be a bit of sparkle in it which is weird though. I won't buy the full size because I like my Artistry Tinted Moisturizer- alone, mixed with foundation or layered under mineral foundation depending on my mood.

3. Make Up For Ever

Sens'Eyes Waterproof Sensitive Eye Cleanser

I never buy makeup remover. I use samples, face wash or lotion to remove makeup. I liked this just fine. It isn't worth paying full price.
