If you are like myself and have a beauty subscription box, I'm sure you have some of the samples still around and untouched. I often find one or two items in the box that stick out to me and would want to use straight away however, I always put the rest of the products aside to try use a later time. Do I remember that the products put aside are there after a few days? No!
As some of you know, that's if you follow me on any of the social networks... that I went away for a long weekend for my birthday and anniversary with my partner. Instead of buying travel size products to take away with me, I brought the untouched samples from Birchbox with me. It was extremely convenient and saved me a few pounds.
My favourites out of the bunch are:
Beauty Protector Leave-in Conditioner |
Montibello Gold Oil Essence |
Molton Brown Ylang-Yang Body Wash |
Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads
When I was living in San Diego CA, I had discovered these exfoliating and foaming cleansing pads through my cousin. Before I had the Clarisonic, this was the best exfoliator at the time. It still is a great cleanser and exfoliator if you cannot get your hands on a Clarisonic. On one side of the pad is soft and on the other is textured with bumps that softly exfoliate your face.
I did not want to take my Clarisonic with me for the long weekend getaway just in case there was a slight chance that I would leave it behind. The only negative thing that I can say about these pads is the packaging. It comes it quite a large tub and can take quite a bit of room in your bag. Other than that, it is a great product!
If you would like a detailed review on any these products, pop me an email and I would be glad to
