Review your free samples!

Yeah, I like them smelling good too! Nothing like smelling like you just got off working at a fry joint!

Sounds like that's worthy of being in the Demeter Fragrance Library. =D

Haha! Right!?

I guess I prefer some fragrance in it. They could maybe mix it with natural oils that smell good. I mean, I washed my hair and now it smells weird. Lol!

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think I'd like that either! Maybe you could try mixing some kind of essential oil or something in? A few drops should make it better. I don't really know, though.

It made me think maybe I should have shaken the bottle before each use but it's too late now. There's not a lot of product left in the bottle and what's left seems very concentrated.

I haven't had that problem. Maybe you got a faulty batch? Does it still work like it's supposed to?

I had a positive experience with it with the amount I used but it didn't wow me. I thought it was just slightly above average. Just made me wonder if I would have liked it more if I'd shaken it before each use.

Didn't wow me, either. It was fine, but there are cheaper hair oils that I like just as well.

Okay, so I've been using some of the Eve Lom products I received. Here are the ones I've used and my thoughts:

Morning Time Cleanser: I liked this, but not enough to pay what it costs for the full size. The smell is nice, and it does a good job of removing all makeup and leaving my skin feeling nice. 

Moisture mask: Very hydrating, but I don't think it does anything that moisturizing well wouldn't. 

TLC Radiance Cream: I like this! Nice and light for the daytime, I don't know that I used it long enough to be able to tell if it actually does what it claims. 

Intense Hydration Serum: Does a good job hydrating, made my skin feel nice. 

I still have the original cleanser and the rescue mask to use. I liked all of these products (although I was unimpressed with the moisture mask), but they are so expensive to purchase, and I would only do so if I was really "wowed" by the results--maybe the samples just weren't big enough to use long enough to see results, but really I was not impressed enough to spend that kind of money. Still, they were nice while the samples lasted! Anyone else used these? What did you think?

Okay, I just washed the Karin Herzog essential mask off my face! The tube was really hard for some reason, I couldn't get all the product out very easily. I ended up cutting the tube open, and it still didn't feel like it was really enough for a full application but I spread it over my face anyway. I think I like it, though! I think my complexion did look a little brighter after I washed it off.

I got the cc cream from studio gear in wheat and it is so crazy pink that I wonder if this is expired already?

How did you get a sample of that? I was told that they did not offer samples!

Lol. Usually YOU are the one who gets things that I don´t get! hahahaha.

I really just asked for it!

I just wrote them and asked if this is supposed to be pink. It looks weird, really.

Hahaha! Lucky you!!! I have so many bb, cc creams I really don't need any more. I just don't like being told no! Haha! But yeah, pink?! A little weird if you ask me.

I got the wine elixir from apivita and have used it the past to nights. I really like it, it's very thick but my skin just absorbed it. And in my morning my skin looked good and not greasy at all. I'm actually in the market for a new night cream so I may buy the full size

wine elixir! Just that name sounds awesome alone! I do not remember getting that!

i think you got a bad one cause I used it today and am loving it. Nothing separated here!

I got the scrub too. It's not my favorite scrub, but I like it. Smells nice, but I like a scrub that does a little more to get dead skin off. I feel that it is a little too gentle, but that's just me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Try acure organics facial scrub

I just tried the samples I got from  Goldfaden MD. I really like what they sent me! The sent me 3 packets to address my skincare concerns. I told them that I sometimes have dull skin, unevenness and dry skin. They sent stuff for those exact things which was nice. I got the Doctor's Scrub and I really liked it! But its $75 so I don't know if I like it that much. I mean I really do like it. It has very tiny scubbies in it so I feel like it does a good job to get the dead skin off. My skin felt really nice after this. The sample had enough for one use only /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The second thing I got was the Vital Boost moisturizer. It smells really nice and it is for uneven skin tone. It smells like citrus so I'm guessing that is what helps with the unevenness. I like it, but it is another expensive product at $68, but I did get a good 3 uses out of the sample! The last thing was the Wake Up Call and it is the most expensive thing at $80. This was also my least favorite, but I did like it. It also had enough for about 3 good uses. It is a nighttime intensive cream. Overall I really liked this line and wish that it wasn't so pricey because I could easily see myself purchasing from them otherwise! Have any of you guys gotten stuff from them? What do you think?

I have been using the Acure argan oil on my face and I'm liking it just as much as any of the other pure argan oils I've tried!

I prefer the pure oils like this for my skin, and those mixed into a more serum consistency for my hair. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm also using a sample of Age Balancing Night Cream from Murad, and I really like it - it isn't too rich for my slightly more oily than usual summer skin!

I haven't been asking for samples lately because I still have so many to try! I need to use these up! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just used my studio gear cc cream sample, and I love it! I got "linen" and it looked grey in the container but matched my skin perfectly once it was on. I want to buy the full size, but it's $34 so I'm indecisive....

Mine was the color wheat and looked pink. Also it was hard and dried out on the bottom. I wrote them a couple days ago if this is normal but they haven't responded yet. I'm not happy with this CC cream.
