Sample Killah Update #2

by - July 16, 2014


This week was really weird. It felt like I was using so many samples every single day, but they just weren't getting killed. I think this is because I've been using them the way that they're intended to be used and I'm mostly working through deluxe sized samples at this point... So I get why it's taking so long, but at the same time it makes me feel like I'm not going to reach my goal. Annoying! Plan of attack hasn't really changed this week, just still plugging along and working my way through stuff. Not gonna lie, this week I was really missing some of my skincare routine samples. I didn't cave and use them though, because I'm dedicated. 

Keep reading to check out what I used up!

NOTES: I'm actually a little bit obsessed with the NUDE ProGenius Treatment Oil and I think I'm gonna be pretty devastated when it's gone, because it's both expensive and doing amazing things for my skin. Isn't that always the way? I used that Nature Republic Nose Pack last night and my nose feels really stingy and tender today, so I think that I'm going to have to get creative on how to use up the second one in the collection  since there's no way I'm doing that to my nose again. I'm actually a little bummed that I finally used up the Mario Badescu Toner, because I was quite enjoying it and felt like it was really balancing my skin. The Tresemme Shampoo and Conditioner made my hair smell SO good but apparently the first ingredient is alcohol and it's really drying, plus nothing can actually heal your split ends so I won't be trying to buy that. I really need to get my act together on using up some of the copious amounts of sunscreen I have to go through. I may have to make new and fun excuses to lay out. Or something.

I feel like, even though I'm only halfway there, I'm running out of samples. There's a weird part of me that wants to actively seek out more to try and use up in the next two weeks. Weird, yes, but also... could be fun, right? A few days ago I got lavished with samples at Shoppers, so I might just add them to the list. Can't hurt to go over my goal, right?

Check back next week for another update!
