Hey! Today I'm reviewing four ampoules samples: two samples from Lioele, the Missha "long(er) name" Ampoule and Mizon's Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule. My goal is to find an ampoule that I like the smell, texture and consistancy of (nothing sticky!!!), get through some of my sample stash and actually write something in the process, too. 

In this post, I'm including first impression thoughts, focusing on scent, texture and colour. Anything of performance should be evaluated at a later point (for fairness) should I decide to buy the full size product--the scent, texture or colour are the key components that often hold me from buying a product, or tell me to dive straight in (the peach scent is where it's at, guys!!). Enjoy!

Hello, here's a quick post in time for Sample Sunday! I'm trying to go through my sample stash and being vocal about my thoughts about samples.

Etude House's Moistfull Collagen--looks like watery cum, but works like a charm.


No seriously, ok.

I do recommend snipping the top of the sachet with scissors as opposed to tear where its marked to, as you'll will lose product. The essence is pretty runny, but not as liquid-y as a "lotion" would be.  It smells light and it sinks into the face fairly quickly, as long as you pat it in or layer with another product afterwards.

The Moistfull Collagen essence would honestly work better in a more humid climate, or in the spring and summertime. I'm currently in the dregs of winter, in rainy WA and while the sun is trying to come out and play, it's only like 10 or 15 mins at a time.

I will look to try the full size out and offer a better, more in-depth review!

Hey all! I thought I'd do a quick review of a sample of belif's aqua bomb cream for a late #samplesunday .  Prior to this, I had read inklings and rave reviews of mostly the aqua bomb cream, but nothing much else from the line, and I hadn't tried it for myself yet.


But the time is here: I've tried it and I see the light! Granted, it is a hard to judge from a sample packet of the quality of a product and whether you like it...but I'm sure that I'm interested enough that I'd purchase the small size for further, more in-depth review.

The aqua bomb gel-like cream offers a rush of hydration. It smells like a fresh lemon scent but turns to a more chemical smell, into a strong but temporary whiff of cleaning supplies (I'm not sure if I enjoy that, though...). The cream however, hydrated my face in such a noticeable way that I understand why there have been so many rave reviews.  I applied this in the car while on my way to work, on a skincare routine-only day. Through a lot of sweating and slight changes in the temperature at work, my face still stayed soft an moisturized, more than it usually is with my regular routine.

I beli(eve)f.
