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!!

REN Haul - Six of the Best and Combination Kit

I got all these goodies delivered last week for a bargain £10.80!

This was my first order from the REN website - they offer a 10% discount for your first order. The only product I have tried from REN is the Glycolatic mask which I loved so I'm looking forward to trying more of their products.

I chose this combination skin kit, which retails at £12.00 (10% discount made this £10.80).

The kit contains 15ml T-Zone Balancing Day Fluid, 25ml T-Zone Mayblossom Control Cleansing Gel and 15ml Invisible Pores Detox Mask.

I used discount code RENHANDBAG to get this six of the best kit, worth £20 for free! 

I really like the way the products are packaged and they are good sized samples.

25ml Mayblossom Balancing Cleansing Gel

25ml Jojoba Micro Bead Invigorating Facial Polish

10ml Omega 3 Night Repair Serum

15ml Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask

15ml Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream

3ml Active Radiant Eye Gel 

Plus I got to pick 4 free samples and delivery was free too!

Once I have finished the skincare products I am using at the moment I will be moving onto these.  The products I am most looking forward to trying are the Night Repair Serum, the Radiant Eye Gel and the Jojoba Micro Bead Invigorating Facial Polish.
