Sample Room Experience

Hi guys...

How was your Holy week vacation? Mine was spent with family... waking up late, watching movies and tv, joined the procession and ate "Binignit" a traditional dish (in Central Visayas) with taro, banana and sweet potato that we usually eat on Good Friday.

Moving on with a fresh start, I am sharing my Sample Room experience. Last March, I've ordered from Sample Room an item which I can use for summer and received it 3 days after. I got a 50ml Belo Sun Expert Face Cover SPF40 PA+++ for 90 points + P140.00 shipping fee. I was happy that instead of buying it for P329.75 I only got it for free since I got my 100 points upon registering. How cool was that??? I only paid for the shipping fee.  

About Sample Room:
Who wouldn't want to try the product first before buying them?
Sample Room is here to give you that option. And this is our inspiration.
 


Sample Room is a sampling site that banks on the power of free product sampling. It is an online community that changes your beauty-shopping pattern; and an interactive community where your opinions matter and where all beauty lovers are valued. 

you don't need to: 
Take a risk at a full-sized product that may not work for you or may give you an allergic reaction
Rely on reviews alone that might not jive with your skin type (as you get to try the product yourself)
Waste money on a product that might not work for you. 

you will be able to: 
Patch-test, and road-test the product you are interested in purchasing- if the product suits you and works well with your skin
Experience the product, and decide after finishing a sample size if the product is right for you
Read reviews from consumers who have the same skin type as yours
Enjoy your purchase, as it is a well-researched and well-informed purchase. Definitely value for your money!

How it works: 
1.      Register 
2.      Get free points upon registration 
3.      Choose your sample 
4.      Checkout 
5.      Receive your samples 
6.      Post a review at Sample Room 
7.      Get points by reviewing, get a new sample to try 
8.      Buying of points
Here's what I got: the 50ml sunblock inside the Sample Room cute packaging, a DKNY perfume sample (freebie) and a bath sponge (freebie).
I'm keeping the packaging because it's so cute...
Currently my favorite and I can't go out not wearing it!!!

Sample Room offers skin care, hair care, body care, fragrance, cosmetics, tools, health, slimming, lifestyle and baby products which we can try before we buy the full size ones.

Why I like Sample Room?
1. I get to try new released products which are not yet available in the market
2. I pay using points for the products that I want to try and pay for a minimal shipping cost
3. Fast delivery
4. A variety of samples to use from
5. Sample Room Blog (Here, we let loose, lay down our thoughts and mingle. We give you the latest product information on our Sample Room product offerings, as well as the latest beauty dish, tip & tricks, advice, and just anything that would brighten your day!)
6. I am updated with Blogger's Event, Contest and Editor’s Pick products

You really should try Sample Room if you haven't tried it...

Till my next post!!!

Carmen Claire Mint Gloss in Apple Mint

Hi guys... it has been a very busy week for me and I am happy that next week holidays na.. wanna rest and spend time with my family and I'm excited to join the procession on Good Friday..

So here's a cutie I'm sharing to you - Carmen Claire Mint Gloss in Apple Mint. I am not really into lip glosses and this is my first ever lip gloss. I bought it because it has a cute packaging and it won't hurt my pocket if I'll end up not using it at all. But, fortunately I kinda like this cute minty gloss! It comes in 3 shades: Apple, Ginger and Pepper Mint.
According to Carmen Claire: These little tubes are all you need in a lipgloss, wearable
colors, cute little tube, all with a hint of mint.
NOTE: Mintglosses differ in shade only. All three have the same mint scent.
The gloss is so small, it only measures 3 inches. See the comparison between the Mini Benefit Fake Up .
Swatch on my hand
Swatch on my lips - it has a faint hint of color and slight shimmer

Swatch on top of lipstick
What I like about the product:
- is quite moisturizing so I don't need to wear lip balm underneath
- it doesn't dry up for 3 hours 
- it keeps my lips supple and soft
- it is non-sticky 
- it is lightweight when worn
- I like its small brush, gets just the perfect amount of product
- it is easy to apply on top of lipstick
- has a lovely minty refreshing scent
- has a minty taste which I really like
- I like the cute and very handy packaging
- affordable for only P175.00 original price (I got mine on sale for P148.99)

What I don't like about the product:
Nothing I can think of.

Will I repurchase? Yes 

Where to buy? Carmen Claire

Happy weekend... Till my next post!!!

Carmen Claire Brush Collection

Hello guys... such a very hot weather!!! Summer is here na talaga...

Today, I wanna share another set of brushes which I purchased last December 2014. Carmen Claire Brush Collection - P715.00 but I got it on sale for P517.99 due to a faint scratch on the mirror.
About the brushes: Carmen Claire website
A classic design, quilted all around, just like your favorite evening clutch. Subtle and sexy, it's a beauty secret like no other. Six must-have brushes, for touch ups and makeup looks on the go.
Smaller in size but not in performance. Inside is a beautiful oval mirror, something you won't find in any other brush set. Large enough to get the job done, but still wonderfully elegant.
Each luxurious brush set contains: Powder Brush, white goat hair Angled Blush Brush, white goat hair Blending Brush, white goat hair Eyeshadow Brush, ox tail hair Angled Liner Brush, synthetic hair Brow and Lash Comb.
Enclosed in a brush guards...

The brushes are just medium in sizes, not too small and not too big that can occupy a big space on your kit.
Closer look with the brushes...
Powder Brush - made of white goat hair...very soft and fluffy!!! I've used this in applying my Pressed Powders.
Angled Blush Brush - made of white goat hair...it's soft and just the perfect size, this one is a favorite of mine.. among the brushes it's the most used and abused brush!!
Eyeshadow Brush - made of ox tail hair... it's soft, dense and great for overall eyelid application...
Blending Brush - made of white goat hair.. it's soft, small and fluffy.. it blends my eyeshadows well... 
Brow and Lash Comb - it's the least usable one... the brow comb is so stiff!!! and I prefer to use a spoolie than a comb..
Angled Liner Brush - made of synthetic hair... I haven't use this one as a liner brush but used it instead to fill-in my brows.

What I like about the product:
- very easy to use and picks up product very well
- convenient to bring since it comes in a quilted pouch
- has a built in mirror
- bristles are soft and fluffy (face brushes)
- affordable price (you get 6 essential brushes)

What I don't like about the product:
- face brushes shed while using it for the first time and sheds more after washing
- bristles turned spongy "buhaghag" after washing

Will I repurchase?
No... I want to try other brands! I still prefer my Real Techniques Mini Brush Trio over this one.. Do check out my post here.

For those interested of Carmen Claire Brush Collection, do visit their website here.

Till my next post!

too stiff for an eyeliner brush, but it does ah-mazing job on filling-in brows. - See more at: http://kimpossiblygorgeous.com/post/36135534308/posh-taste-carmen-claire-brush-collection-review#sthash.BJ3hDHsx.dpuf
