Ok, I have been trying really hard not to make any unnecessary beauty purchases. So far, so good. I have walked down the beauty rows several times and I have successfully left without buying anything!
So, as part of my strict no buy, I had decided to use samples that I have already received but have been neglecting. I have so many samples that I don’t even remember where I got all of them from originally. I know some are from ipsy bags, or Target boxes and others from Walmart beauty boxes. Here is the first group of what I have decided to try out…
I will let you know in a few weeks what I think of each thing and if I would purchase these items based on my thoughts from these samples.
And yes, that is a nail product in the picture, I know, I know, I completely complained about it when I got it in my ipsy bag. I am going to give it a try based on the high recommendations of Amy from The Makeup Case and Lizzie from lizzielovesbeauty.
I would love for you to follow me on Instagram and Facebook. You can find me as Looking Joli Good on both. I would also love to follow you as well, so let me know your user name in the comment section below!

I’m in the same boat. I have so many samples that I need to use. I like your idea for this post!

Thanks! I’ve been enjoying using these samples up so far! I don’t know why I tend to hold on to samples instead of using them, but I think it’s pretty common.

I am currently doing the same thing! We just moved, and I can’t believe how much stuff I have. oops… The only makeup I am still going to buy, if I can find it here in Orlando, are the new Wet n Wild highlighters. Otherwise…nothing for awhile! LOL

Thanks for the mention! I wasn’t a huge fan of the Nivea in shower lotion. I love the concept but it just didn’t work for me. And you’re right, the scent is strange!

I chipped away at quite a bit of my samples when I was on a No-Buy last year. It’s sometimes a great way to discover new favourites!
I’ve not heard of the blog lizzielovesbeauty – off to check her blog now!

You’ll enjoy Lizzie! Tell her I sent you! So far I have found a few things that I really like! The caress body wash is great! The nivea in shower lotion, I’m still on the fence about.

Oh I didn’t like that Nivea in shower lotion. I actually did a review of the sample that I received!

I like applying lotion after I get out of the shower, thank you very much! 😛

I agree! It’s got a weird scent too.
