5 Mini Reviews: Dr. Organic, Bee Good, Botanicals, Weleda & Green People

Last month, I noticed that my samples stash was getting way out of control again (I'm blaming too many online orders and GWPs!), so I've finally made an effort to use some of them up! Here are my thoughts on these five and whether I would purchase the full-size product or not.

Sunday, 12 April 2015

Time for a 5 Mini Reviews post - this is where I share my thoughts on the last five beauty samples that I've tried and used up recently. Mostly skincare this time around and all products that I don't think I've mentioned on here before.

5 Mini Reviews: Korres, Ginvera, Melvita, Clinique & Liz Earle

I had a little clearout of my travel bag earlier and discovered a handful of sample empties left over from around the Christmas period. All skincare this time - here are my thoughts!

Minis and sample sizes - I just love them so, especially when you get enough in them to try them out multiple times. Here are five that I've used up recently and my overall thoughts on them.

A collective handful of hits and misses in this 5 Mini Reviews post today. Here are my thoughts on these samples!

Time for another 5 Mini Reviews post - here are five samples that I've used up recently and my thoughts on them.

Thursday, 6 February 2014

I love trying out samples, and found these in the bottom of my travel bag earlier which I've used up. Here are my thoughts on them.

Tuesday, 12 November 2013

Here are five samples that I've used up recently, featuring a mix of haircare, skincare and bodycare. I plucked them out of my travel bag at the weekend when I was swapping around some products and gave myself a little pat on the back for finally using some more samples up! (I'm weird, I know... lol) Anyway! Onto the mini reviews.

I have seriously been slacking on the samples front! My Wonder Woman tin is full to bursting again so it's time to get it back under control. To kick things off, I've managed to finish these five off recently which have been stashed away in my travel bag. Here are my thoughts on them.

I think it's time that I did another one of these posts isn't it? Here are my thoughts on five samples that I've used up recently.

Thursday, 27 June 2013

Here are some samples that I recently used up on holiday. Whenever I go away, I almost always use it as an opportunity to raid my samples stash and pick out a bunch of new things to try out. Afterall, they're the perfect sizes for weekend bags!

Friday, 12 April 2013

I set aside these samples a while ago and have only just gotten around to finishing them all up. It's safe to say that my samples stash is in a much more manageable state these days. I can finally close my Wonder Woman Tin properly!

Saturday, 9 February 2013

Time for a 5 Mini Reviews post - I've been seriously slacking on the 'using up samples' front recently, so it's been something of an achievement to finish these five recently!

(1) Talika Lipocils Expert Eyelash Primer
I wasn't expecting this to do anything when I first began using it, but instantly my lashes looked thicker, more pigmented and held their curl longer than they usually would. Impressive! It was easy to apply and didn't irritate my eyes either.

(2) REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Cream
A subtle and fresh rose scent accompanied this easily absorbed body lotion so I really enjoyed using this mini bottle of it. It's quite light though, so not heavy duty enough for my dry winter skin, but would be lovely to use during the summer months instead.

(3) Cowshed Wild Cow Invigorating Bath & Shower Gel
I wasn't that keen on the lemongrass and ginger smell of this, so it's my least favourite Cowshed scent that I've tried out, but it's a lovely non-drying formula for a natural shower gel.

(4) L'Occitane Volumising Hair Mask
This one use sample sadly didn't add any volume to my medium-thick hair but it did defrizz it a treat so I'd consider purchasing a full size bottle of it just for that reason alone.

(5) NEOM Bath Oil in Complete Bliss
Heavenly modern rose scent for a truly indulgent bath. I know I always say this, but if you enjoy relaxing baths and haven't yet tried out NEOM bath oils, then you really need to!

Have you tried any of these?

(1) L'Occitane Repairing Conditioner
Only a one use sachet but one that I really enjoyed using. Formulated for dry and damaged hair, it left my hair feeling stronger and looking healthier straight away which is pretty amazing! Definitely will be picking up a full size bottle when I've used up some of my current hair conditioners.

(2) Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream
Have used samples of this in the past and it's a good fragrance-free cream based exfoliator. I'd say it's a bit too abrasive to use on a daily basis as they suggest, but it's one I liked to use twice a week in my skincare routine instead.

(3) LUSH Mask Of Magnaminty
This face mask has been recommended to me countless times, so when I experienced an annoying breakout across my chin last week, I popped into LUSH to get a sample to try out. It cleared everything up in one go, very impressed! Smells fresh and minty too! Seriously worth trying out if you have spot-prone/breakout/oily/ problem skin.

(4) Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer
I had high hopes for this, but it just didn't work for me and caused the above mentioned breakout :(

(5) balance Me Stellar Face Balm*
Loved using this multi-purpose balm on all my dry bits (lips, around the nose when you have a cold, cuticles, elbows, heels etc) and found it very effective. The full size is pretty expensive at £18 a pot, so I'd probably only purchase the travel size in the future. You can also use it as a hydrating face mask if you have dry skin.

Have you tried any of these?
