I was quite excited about the things I got as at least 3 or 4 products are something I probably would have gotten myself! Let's start!
Sunsense daily face SPF 50+ cream. Oil free formula, idea for all skin types, tinted for sheer matte finish... Blah blah blah. I'm not really that excited to get it for two reasons, firstly I have my skincare routine that I'm happy with at the moment, I haven't tried it yet so can't pass any judgements regarding the formula etc but I'm definitely not happy with the packaging! The sample has a snap off bottom, which I think is not doing the product any favours being open all the time, storing the sample and making sure little hands of my darling angel don't get to it and squeeze the content out, I just don't like the packaging of the sample and it is putting me off from purchasing a full size product. (Full size 75g retails for £18.50)
Next is the NIP + FAB dry skin fix body butter in mango. Even though I am not a huge moisturising fan, I know it's good for you and you should do it, for some reason this is one of the things I avoid! Anyways, the formula is really nice, it's not too heavy and absorbs well. I prefer body moisturising products in a pump bottle as I hate touching everything after with my greasy hands but this tub I suppose is just as simple as it gets. This product really reminds me of body butters by The Body Shop... Even the scent from memory is very similar! This product retails for £9.95 for 200ml so you get more for your money than in The Body Shop as their body butters retail for £13!
Then I got a really nice surprise and received Sleek blush in Pixie Pink. If you have seen my YT channel you probably would have gathered from some of my hauls that I absolutely adore Sleek! They have a fantastic range of products and the quality is really high as well. Their powder products are highly pigmented as well as lipsticks. I haven't tried anything else by them. Full size 8g retails at £4.49.
Next is the Yves Rocher France 'So Elixir' perfume. I really like the scent, its quite sweet at first but then as you smell it it gains a little bit of body, this is the kind of scent I would have picked for myself. The leaflet says ' it boasts a unique infusion of tuberose, vetiver and patchouli culminating in a floral-woody elixir.' I totally agree! I also like the look of the bottle which I assume is just a miniature of the original one, I think it looks much more expensive and luxurious than the simple atomiser samples. You also get 5ml in the sample as opposed to 1ml normally. It retails at £44 for 50ml.
And last but not least is the Essie nail polish in she's pampered. I really like this colour as its not a true red but kind of reminds me of brick red if that makes sense. I tend to go for the vivid Ferrari reds but I am looking forward to trying this polish out on my nails! I absolutely love the formula, colours, brush and durability of Essie nail varnish, so this one definitely a keeper!
Full size 13,5ml retails at £7.99.
