So long time no post, I guess I have been busy with Uni and work. Ahh..... the life of a student, what fun it is (not haha).
Anyway so the other week I went to Myer to do some shopping, apart from just getting a few pieces for winter and the upcoming summer I managed to drop by the Benefit counter for a little look at what was new. I picked up one of their skin care sample packs for $25 which I though was a huge bargain. The pack came with a small sample of each of their skincare products and have lasted for over 2 weeks for me.
| Benefit skincare sample pack |
- The Foamingly Clean Face Wash - This wash was quite good, I enjoyed using this product as it left my skin feeling squeaky clean and quite bright afterwards. It had a very pleasant scent to it, I can't describe the smell very well, but to me it smelt like a very floral perfume. Overall I really enjoyed using this product and would purchase the full size product.
- The Moisture Prep Toning Lotion - At the Benefit counter the lady who served me said that it would replace me normal toner and I would use it by rubbing a small amount into my skin after cleansing. This product was quite runny and when applied to the skin was very sticky even after drying. I didn't quite enjoy this toner as my face was very uncomfortable after the application, however it did have a nice smell to it just like the cleanser.
- The Total Moisture Facial Cream - This is the larger tub at the top. My skin is quite oily and the lady at Benefit said that I could use this product at night as an extra moisturiser as this cream is designed for people with dry skin. Although I haven't used this product as much I do find that during the colder nights it does help with the extra boost of hydration for my skin.
- The It's Potent Eye Cream - This is the smaller tub at the bottom. This is one of my favourite eye creams, I have used this many times because I do have the full size product. I have been using this product for many months before every day and night and was excited to see it in this sample pack. I defiantly will be repurchasing this product again when I finish my tub. It leaves the under eye area feeling bright and awake in the mornings.
- The Triple Performing Facial Emulsion - The lady at the Benefit counter told me that this facial cream was designed for people with more oilier skin types. I am on the fence about this product, when first applied to my skin it was quite sticky and a little greasy, however given an hour or so it looks quite nice and there is no more oil on my face. I'm not too sure if I would buy this product again as there are other facial creams that work better for my skin.
- Finally we have The Refined Finish Facial Polish - This product was amazing! It exfoliated my skin very well with just a small amount. It had a great scent to it and the small beads in the product was not too harsh on the face. When rinsed off it left my face feeling brighter than what it was and just fresh. I would defiantly buy the full size product.
Overall this was a very good trial size to test the products out and see if it was worth buying the full sized products. I quite enjoyed this pack and the samples were quite generous, I used the pack for a good 2 weeks and there is till product left over. You don't need all that much on your face and when finished your left with a nice smelling face.
Not only can this be used as a trial pack but if you are familiar with the skin care line this pack is very good for travel and would pass airport security easily. It also came with a small clear pouch which I didn't need, but other out there may use it to store makeup or other knick knacks.
To wrap things up I give this pack a 8/10 and would recommend it to anyone who would like to try out Benefit's skincare line.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and tune in again soon for another post.
Until next time
Love Jen xx
