Hi guys! You may remember my epic Sample Challenge from last month, in which I tried to use as many beauty samples as I could. If not, you can read that here. Well now I'm back with the much-anticipated (lol) update. Spoiler Alert: I think I did really well! I didn't count the total number of samples in my collection, but I reckon I've finished a shitload of them. Go me! Below I'll list every sample I've finished and any special notes (mainly if I loved it, hated it or there was something interesting about it - if it was meh, I won't bother commenting). I'll put my absolute favourites of the bunch in bold type because the stand-outs should stand out!

Are you a fan of samples?
I've had those Urban Decay primer samples in the past and love the product so much - but then I love Urban Decay shadow palettes as well. You certainly made your way through a lot of samples! #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteYes! The Naked palettes are great. I'm glad I know how good the primer is now too!
DeleteWow! I’ve never seen a post like this before, this is really cool! I just found your blog through the female blogger retweet twitter account, and I can’t wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I appreciate you telling me how you discovered my blog too! xx
DeleteWell done for getting through so many sample sachets!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to start a deluxe sample/travel sized product Challenge. I've been keeping such deluxe samples for weekends away and short holidays but in reality I don't tend to go away that often unfortunately and I want to use these products up and try them before they go off!
Now to find a good time to start such a challenge!
