Sunday Samples (#1)


First in line for trial for Sunday Samples are:

Dr.Organic Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo
YvesSaintLaurent Forever Youth Liberator Serum
Doctor Duve Anti-Aging & Firming Eye Cream



So, what did I think of each of them then?

Dr Organic Shampoo - This sachet of shampoo only provided enough for one use and it did leave my hair in such a lovely and nourished condition after use; lovely and soft and not too squeaky clean. My only downside would be that there was really minimal lather and that always leads me to using too much product because I enjoy a big mountain of foam on top of my head! Although lather is just an illusion of it working better and that's a personal preference that I like lots of foamy bubbles. It available to buy from Holland and Barratt for only £5.99 (link). Would I buy the full size? Potentially!

Yves Saint Laurent Serum - A serum is a skincare step that I'm a bit hit and miss on; more often miss and have never really found one that's done a whole lot for me. This was the same, I didn't notice any difference from when I used it and when I didn't so for £61 for a full size bottle (link), I can say with certainty that I won't be buying a bottle for myself.

Dr Duve Eye Cream - My jaw nearly crashed through the floorboards when I saw that a 30ml tube of this eye cream costs £115 - wowzaaa! (link). I squeezed the product into a small pot and there was enough to use twice a day for two weeks and in that time I would've expected to notice something pretty amazing, especially for a three figure price tag. It was nice and light on the skin and sunk in quickly, was the right level of moisturising but was just nothing that blew me off my feet. Although, maybe if I was older than 20 and actually needed my eye area 'firming' then things could have been different!

So, nothing life changing and no new holy grail favourite products discovered. But they were all pleasant products to use and it was nice to change things up in my routine and try some things that have been sitting around for months! I hope you all enjoyed this post on something a little bit different.

  7. That is way too expensive! Especially when something for half the price is going to work better. It's good at that you had a sample of it! Live high end for a moment or two :)

  10. Great idea! I've got a box full of samples that I need to start using up lol. Do you have access to Roc skincare items? If so, you should try out one of their serums. I think they're lovely. :)
