Mini Samples Review

About two weeks ago I put up an Instagram picture showing some the of the samples that I have got to try and I thought it might be a good idea to tell you what I thought of some of them.

Grounded Chocolate Orange Body Scrub: After quite a bit of hype over this range of body scrubs I couldn’t wait to get my hands on some to try. Of the three I would have to say this would have been the last I would have tried not being a massive fan of chocolate orange. However, I was surprised by how much I liked the smell being so chocolate orange. This scrub is very messy so trying this in the shower is very important. I think the packaging is something different and attractive in keeping with the coffee idea, but ideally it really needs to be made of a more waterproof material if coming into contact with water.
What is also pretty cool is they are running a competition for a trip to Paris if you upload a selfie onto Instagram using your Grounded Scrub.

Alpha H Micro Cleanse with Glycolic acid and Peppermint: I often so many exfoliants seem to merge into one and can often feel quite harsh which puts me off wanting to use them. I have used this about once or twice a week for 3 weeks and because the beads are much finer than in other exfoliants this seems to do a better job of unclogging my pores. My skin seems much brighter with the inclusion of cucumber and the anti-bacterial peppermint properties ensure my skin truly is clean. For the time being I will have to stick to some other more affordable exfoliators but the Alpha-H range has so much on offer.

Vichy Normaderm Anti- Blemish care: I’ve never knowingly used any Vichy products before but I always like trying new moisturisers. This claims to help any hormone imbalances around the time of your period which may increase the chances of blemishes and the production of extra sebum. I honestly can’t testify to these claims yet but I know that it has done a brilliant job keeping my skin hydrated and as radiant as it can be with a lack of sleep.
