Hey
there!
I like samples. I think everyone does. I feel
that I need to try things before I buy them. I especially like getting samples
of more expensive things. There is nothing worse than purchasing makeup and
finding out it doesn't work for you -- for whatever reason, it doesn't matter.
Returning products can be a hassle and I feel weird returning a product that's
been used. But, I'll do it.
A few weeks ago (maybe 6?) I ordered a sample
of product from Missha cosmetics. I also got samples with my Laneige purchase.
Both of these brands are Korean cosmetic lines (to my knowledge) and you either
have to order them online or stumble across them at an International grocery
store (like I did!). I wanted to try some new items because it's very
interesting to see how other cultures view skin care. I know that in purchasing
my Laneige products, I've learned that there are a multitude of steps to skin
care in the Korean culture. If I purchased everything that the lovely Laneige lady
wanted me to try, I'd have about 8 products. I currently have about 3.
So, from Missha cosmetics, I requested 2 items
from Time Revolution. I got the Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence
($49 / 150ml) and Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule ($49 /
50ml). The First Time Treatment is the first step in skincare, as you use it
after washing your face and the Night
Repair can be used day or night after your toner or essence and before your
serum or lotion. I haven't tried either so I won't go into what it's supposed
to do and what it actually does.
I also requested Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
Samples ($22 / 50ml). I got 3 samples. I think one of them might be the right
color for me.
And, I have been enjoying my Laneige products
(review to come). Because I made a purchase, I was given a few samples. I got
two Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel and then two IOPE Enzyme Powder
Treatment Washes. I'm very excited to try the yogurt peel.
I haven't tried anything yet. I wanted to write
my "sample bin haul" before ripping into any packages. I hope that I
see some real results because I've begun taking better care of my skin. I hope
I don't love it because these items are kinda pricey!
But, you have to take care of your skin so
pricey or not, you want the best.
Have you tried Korean beauty products? Do you
like one brand more than another?
