#SampleSaturday --- Well, Make it Sunday

Hi Guys,

So I am currently dealing with a cold, so I wasn't feeling like trying new samples yesterday, but today I was bored so I figured I'd give some a shot.

Today I tried Maybelline's 24HR SuperStay Makeup, Elon Foot Cream, and Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage Daily Eye Cream

I used the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage Daily Eye Cream after showering. I have looked into eye-creams because I am 21 and have very dark under-eye circles. I feel that it's never too early to start using an anti-wrinkle eye cream, and if it will help to lighten my dark circles it will be a plus. Also, I have very dry skin, so adding any moisturizing formula is a good idea for me.

I don't have too much sun damage (that I know of), so I wasn't really sure what this product would do, but since it was free I decided I'd give it a shot. Now, I'm sure that this is a product you have to use more than once for the anti-sun damage to work, so I was looking more at texture, ease, and scent.

This product smells like sunscreen (which makes sense because it is SPF 15). However, I'm not the biggest fan of that scent, especially if it's not summer. This product is creamy and easy to spread over the delicate skin under my eyes. It was not greasy and felt very smooth after drying. I feel that this product works very well under makeup.

I probably will not be purchasing this product in particular, because I am looking for something that will brighten my under-eye circles, but if you do have sun damage I do recommend this product. It has a very nice texture, and the additional SPF is great! Overall I'd give this product seven stars out of ten.


Next, I used the Elon Foot Cream because my feet are a sore sight after summer wear and tear. Walking on the beach and wearing all different shoes have made it so that my heels are rough and not pretty. I received this sample from a small boutique, and I have no idea why they even have this product. After reading the packaging I found that it is a medicated foot cream that is supposed to help skin from not breaking and cracking. My feet are not great, but they're not that bad either. I figured it would be helpful though, so after buffing my feet with a lemon scrub I used this product.

This product was weird. I guess that's the best way of describing it. It definitely smelled like medicine, and it was a weird tan color with specks in it. It was not very thick, which surprised me, and I did not feel like it was making a difference. This was by far the oddest sample I have ever tried, and I will not be purchasing this product. To be honest, I have no idea why I even have this sample. I would give this product three stars out of ten.


The last sample I tried was the Maybelline 24HR SuperStay Makeup in Natural Beige. This color was a perfect match for my skin tone! I was very pleased with the texture and color payoff of this product. For a small amount of product I could cover all of my problem areas, leaving my face looking smooth and flawless. I would definitely recommend this product, especially since they have a wide array of colors to match your skin tone. I really liked this product, and I would give it nine stars out of ten.
