.Sample Reviews.

     I don't know if you read my previous blog, but if you haven't, go check it out. Or, you could keep reading this new post, and stay tuned to what I have to say about the samples I used! It's really up to you.
I wanted to use these products, so I took advantage when I actually had somewhere to go: school. So, I woke up, excited, just by the thought of knowing I would use my samples, and I already knew which I would use! Practically, my day, will be jotted down as follows:

I started my day by using a new shampoo/ conditioner. One that I received as a free sample and that I was so eager to try, mainly because of it's smell, but also because it promised not to weigh down my hair, leave it greasy, or puff it up. I must say, I was delighted with this product! I used the shampoo and conditioner of Pantene Aqua Light, shown to the left. It was so light, and foamed up just as any shampoo would, and with a little amount as well. I didn't have to use much, like I usually do with my thick and sometimes greasy hair, and the wonderful smell lasted me a long time!
     Before washing my hair with the Pantene, I went through a lot of shampoos. Exactly before this Pantene shampoo, I used Organix, a natural shampoo free of anything chemical. I liked the product a lot, mainly it's aroma as well, but I would notice that, it wasn't quite the shampoo for me, which sucked. It left my hair feeling a bit dry and it also left it feeling really puffy. Maybe it's because I don't straighten or blow dry my hair, which would probably eliminate the dryness and puffiness, but that's just how I treat my hair. Before Organix, my hair used to come out smooth, without having to blow dry it or straighten it, but the only thing I lacked was the shine, which my mom always wanted me to have. My hair would come out smooth, but dull, which saddened me, because I, not to sound conceited, think I have good looking hair!
     Having used Pantene, I felt the difference right away actually. Sometimes when I washout the shampoo off my hair, I can feel the instant weighing down of it. Believe it or not, once I rinsed off the Pantene, I felt it smooth, clean and light right away. I used the conditioner, only at the tips, of course, and felt the same results.

     The next thing I had to do was brush my teeth before leaving for school, of course. I used the Crest toothpaste that was sent as a sample. Honestly, I don't really like it. I didn't really feel a difference at the end of the day, like I usually do with the Colgate toothpaste. Yeah, I said it. I prefer Colgate! Oh well.
     Unlike Crest, I was also delighted by the Scope mouthwash! After having rinsed my mouth with this low burn mouthwash, every time I spoke, I could feel the freshness. My boyfriend and I left my house and headed to his to eat breakfast. We ate eggs with ham, and some torillas, which like always, were delicious. I was uber hungry, so you know I ate like nothing. I was worried though, that my mouth was going to smell of egg and what not, but even after having ate, I STILL felt my mouth was fresh! I was happy, throughout most of day. You see, one of the things I like about my toothpaste is that I can go the whole day without feeling plaque or any residues on my teeth, but with Crest, I didn't feel that. Oh well, maybe it was just me, but I know for sure I will still use the Scope Dual Blast mouthwash.
     But before I had left my house, I wanted to use one more sample, something that would add on to me smelling good! So, I used this perfume sample:

This is Orange, by BOSS. It had a delighting scent. If I can compare correctly, it slightly smelled alike Chanel #5, but that's just me. It did precisely what I want out of a perfume, and have been trying to find: it lasted! I have problems with finding perfumes which will last at least more than half a day, but I have had no luck! Gosh, until I have money, I will be able to buy any perfume I might want, just like this one. I really liked it. Definitely, must buy!

     So, to end it all, I will most likely use and buy full size versions of Pantene Aqua Light shampoo and conditioner, Scope Dual Blast mouthwash, and one day, BOSS: Orange. You guys should try and sign up for the P&GbrandSampler kit. It was through them that I was able to receive the 3 upper samples and plus, they come with coupons that are sure to save you money! These are great brands, too, and getting them for free is a plus!
     Hope you enjoyed this last blog. If any questions or suggestions, feel free to email me at jvargas0219@aol.com, or on my Facebook page which you can like and support! You reading this means a lot to me, and if there's anyway I can give back, let me know. ;) Enjoy!

.Recent Samples.

     Okay. I haven't written on this for so long. I'm so sorry. And if I say I've been really busy, will you believe me? Well, it is true. Some catching up on homework here and there, doing some stuff around the house and elsewhere... Ahhh. So now, finally some time to spend time opening up some samples. Or... at least one.
     So, what would you like to see first? I received the perfume samples, as well as the Tide Pods. Iiiiiiiiiiiiii think I'll show you the perfume samples first.

Boss: Orange

Escada: Island Kiss

Escada: Island Kiss sample

     I have not opened these samples or tried them. I'm honestly waiting for a right opportunity to use them, so I can smell super! Fyi, if you did not notice, these samples come in postage card size. The cover picture is usually the picture used for advertisement. The back comes with your address and the "samples." They are usually a little wipe that comes covered with the perfume, but like I said, I'm waiting to use them. That and until the other samples come. 

 
     I'm not going to lie; I was a bit disappointed about the samples. I honestly thought I was going to get something much more like this:
     But, believe it or not, these little perfume bottles sometimes cost much more than the actual perfumes that you can get for a bigger quantity. Although, what's so bad about giving out these sized samples, specially if you are confident that people will buy your fragrances?

     Well, until I find the right time, I will not open these samples just yet. Although, you have to keep in mind that you have to keep these stored in a cool place, where no light hits them. Just like any perfume bottle. If these are exposed, the smell might go away quickly and it just might not be the same. Also, try to get perfumes that come mostly in glass bottles; not plastic.

Now, to the Tide sample. This is the Tide Pod sample:
Yeah, I only received one. How cheap, right?! hahaha I think I just say that because I'm ghetto and I want to receive more, but sometimes it's hard not to want more specially when these companies are the ones receiving the most money. Any who, enough with my cheap ranting! Sorry.

Washing machine package.

 This is the cute little package the Tide Pods come in. I thought it was a cute presentation, and that it made sense, seeing how it's a product for laundry. They should make all their presentations like this!

Below is what you see when you open the "lid" of the cute washing machine, which is your sample and a little info on what is inside.                                                            

Opening the "lid."

 You also   receive a little thank you from the company:

So pretty much, all these samples are still yet to be tried. I'm waiting to wash a couple of good looking clothes to use the Pod, so it can reserve their nice colors and they could smell great! And maybe I'll use one of the samples? If I remember correctly, I ordered a bunch more samples, and I just can't wait for them to get here soon!
