I have been lucky to receive a couple of items of the past few weeks, a perfume sample and a face mask.
The personalised label is a lovely touch!
I received an Oskia Renaissance Mask.
The mask has worn quite a few awards Best Anti-Ageing Mask - Celebs on Sunday Beauty Awards 2011; Best New Product - UK Beauty Awards 2011, Best Mask - Red Magazine; Top Beauty Find of 2010 - The Beauty Shortlist
The mask is designed to increase cell turnover and is packed with beauty-boosting nutrients. It is an exfoliating mask which leaves the complexion smooth, refined and illuminated.
This is a very generous 15ml sample and the full size of 50ml retails for £48.50 on their website making the sample worth £14.55! I can't wait to try it out.
The other sample I received came in an envelope.
It is a sample of Bond No.9 Central Park West
Top notes: narcissus, ylang ylang and black pepper
Middle notes: gardenia, jasmine, citrus-like lindena and orris
Bottom: vetiver, musk, white oak and treemoss
The full size of 100ml retails for a whopping £350 in Harrods, making this 1.7ml sample worth £5.95. It smells really nice but I could never justify spending £350 on a perfume!!
Have you signed up to What's in my Handbag yet? What samples have you received?
Looks like you got a good deal with these samples, great way to try something which might not be in your price range, especially that perfume :)

DeleteI got both of these too! Not tried the mask yet but the perfume is fab! I did notice you can buy the 50ml at a mere £125!x
ReplyDelete£125 for a perfume! Still so much money and the scent didn't even last that long on my wrists!
DeleteWoow what an expensive perfume!!! But the sample is great!
ReplyDeleteThe sample is fab, I would never ever spend that amount of money on perfume!
