☑ 100% Pure Body Cream (samples) review
The first thing that struck me with this body cream was the scent. My favorite by far was Green Apple - yum! They all smell amazing - and I'm not talking about that cheap chemical scent! I wish the scent would last longer on the skin but this body cream is still a pleasure to use regardless. As for the texture, it's just what I was expecting for a body cream: deliciously rich, non greasy and fast absorbing. There is a wide variety of scents available and they are all vegan, except Honey Almond, which is vegetarian.
Repurchase: yes!
What I'm currently using to replace it: Jergens Naturals Aloe Soothing Body Moisturiser with Cucumber
☑ LaRocca Skincare 24k C-Gold Gel (sample) review
Can you believe this product costs $143 for 1oz? Crazy right? I didn't notice any improvment regarding the clarifying, brightening and firming of the skin. Maybe I'm too young for this? But one thing I can tell for sure is that this gel is really moisturizing, and it leaves my skin sooooo soft and smooth! I couldn't stop touching my face after applying it! As it's a gel, the texture is light, but I still think it's a little heavy for a gel - it takes some times for the product to be absorbed into the skin. It doesn't feel greasy though.
Repurchase: no
What I'm currently using to replace it: Antipodes Joyous Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum
☑ Clarins Toning Lotion Alcohol-Free with Camomille (sample)
I bought this for $5 on a whim at the first Clarins warehouse sale I attended... $5 for a sample size they aren't even allowed to sale... I think it was the first warehouse sale I ever attended but since thne, trust me I've learned what it worth it and what is not worth it. I don't think this product is worth the price, as a toner is a toner, right?
Repurchase: no

I haven't done this post for a long time:) But I don't have empties;DDDD
ReplyDelete$5 for a sample size is pretty expensive! :-O
ReplyDelete$5 sample? Toner isn't even necessary, hmph!
ReplyDeleteI don't use toners because I don't feel that they work at least for me. And that was pricey for a small sample.
ReplyDeleteGood reviews Gaby!
ReplyDelete@Cerina @Sarah S. @Pammy : I know girls, I feel so stupid! At least I learned from my mistake... never again!
ReplyDeleteI loved those 100% Pure body cream samples as well! I liked how they absorbed pretty fast into the skin and yes, they smelled yummy!
ReplyDelete$143!!holy crap that's crazy! but lucky you had a sample to try it and see its not super amazing.
ReplyDeleteI know this is an empties post but you made me want to try the Jergens Naturals Aloe Soothing Body Moisturizer with Cucumber! =D
143? I think my (empty, alas) wallet had a mini heart attack at the sound of that.
ReplyDeleteAh, I like everything cucumber-ish.
Holy that LaRocca is costly, good thing you don't LOVE it! Love these posts Gaby :)
ReplyDeleteJe t'ai tagguer :D
ReplyDeleteI love 100% Pure scents they are spot on and like you said no chemically fake smell but they don't last as long as I wish they did. Shame!
