13th Pack of Free Samples review

In my 13th Pack of free samples, there's 2 different BB Creams from BRTC, 1 sachet of Dermalogical Eye Repair and 1 tiny tube of Clinelle Moisture Booster. Must grab item of this pack would be the BB creams because there's 2 sachet for each type of BB cream.

I've never once bought BB creams even though I've tired quite a few types.
Since I started using fr3b.com. All BB creams I have used are all free samples.
But I don't get everything to try though, most of the time I would try products that has more possitive reviews. :)

Title: Clinelle Moisture Booster
Rated: 2/5
Like: Easily absorbed.
Dislike: Sample is too little for us to see any result.
Main Review: I couldn't get much out from the small sample tube. Maybe because there's too little product thus making it very easy for the product to be absorbed bah. Not much effect for us to notice too. But there's one thing I like though. It's more lotion-y than cream-y thus making it less oily-feel as compared to many "rich" Moisture Booster products.
Will I Buy It: No

Title: Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair
Rated: 2/5
Like: Doesn't have too strong smell? & not too rich.
Dislike: Expensive! Didn't see much effect.
Main Review: First of all, currently I am not willing and also not that rich enough to spend almost $100 on 15ml of eye-cream! It's too expensive and after using the sample for a couple of times, I don't really see any effect. :( The only plus point is that it's doesn't have a strong smell and it's not overly creamy, so it didn't cause irritation on my very sensitive eye area.. For me, the sample size amount was enough for a few applications. :)
Will I Buy It: No

Title: BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream SPF30 PA
Rated: 3/5
Like: SPF and it's not too thick.
Dislike: Average coverage, a bit expensive to me.
Main Review: This BB Cream is quite good, it's better than most of those that I've tried. It's not too thick thus it's quite easy to apply, I actually quite like it. Coverage is so-so only, can't cover my panda eyes, some old scars and those red red stuffs under my skin. :( Smell wise it's acceptable. It's not overly-oily too. Not too bad for a BB Cream. Price wise, it's a little bit expensive. :(
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Title: BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm BB Cream SPF20 PA++
Rated: 4/5
Like: SPF, not bad coverage
Dislike: Expensive
Main Review: This BB Cream is not too bad. It's a little thicker as compared to the Jasmine Water BB Cream from the same brand, thus making it a tiny bit more difficult to spread. I've read review that says Jasmine Water has a lighter tone but I personally find that Multiplex's tone is a bit lighter. I guess it really depands on when we use it bah, best it's to grab both to try it for yourself. :)
Coverage is not too bad, can't hide all my problems but so does almost every other product on the shelf. :( Smell wise it doesn't smell as nice as Jasmine Water but of cause it doesn't stink lah, acceptable smell loh. Most reviews also says that it's not oily. I would say yes it's NOT Overly-oily but I personally feel that BB Creams on the whole are still somewhat oily de loh. The Whitening effects are not really visible maybe the product have to be used for over longer period of time before the effects are visible bah. Don't get me wrong, I still think this BB cream is not too bad overall but maybe I'm just not used to paying too much for cosmetics. :p
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Grab those samples here and after you've tried and if you really like it, can put it into your christmas wishlist. :p

Samples in my 12th Pack of freebies includes Skinfood mask, essence, Lioele "mask" and Wild Rose Hand Creme! Must grab item of this pack is the Skinfood Rice mask & Rose Hand cream.

Title: Lioele Pore Clean And Tightening pack
Rated: 3/5
Like: Easy application
Dislike: Doesn't really seem to work for me.
Main Review: I guess my skin's really naughty this week. None of the products seems to work and I'm getting a little tired trying to get rid of those stubborn blackheads and huge pores. This mask thingy is easy to apply and I think it's alright. It's not too strong that it hurts my skin so I'm quite alright with it. It's a pity it didn't work. I still have 1 sample pack which I got at JurongPoint, I'll give it a try another day.
Will I Buy It: No

Title: Skinfood Rice Mask
Rated: 4/5
Like: Lesser blackheads & smell natural.
Dislike: None at the moment.
Main Review: I used the whole sample on my face this afternoon. After I read that other fr3b'ers used for 3-4 applications, I feel like a idiot. -.- Anyway back to the review. I'm not sure if I'm having a super good skin day or something, after using this mask, my blackheads seems to have become a bit lesser! The smell like most Skinfood stuffs, smells natural and "comforting". The rice thingy acts as a pretty good scrub I suppose. I'm not so sure about the whitening part though. I would say I really enjoined using this mask. Might be getting this product to use/try somemore. :)
Will I Buy It: Yes

Title: Skinfood Herb Salad Essence
Rated: 3/5
Like: No need to use much.
Dislike: Oily feeling.
Main Review: The first time I tried, I dabbed a little here and there and I liked it. The smell is alright and it's not too oily. The second time I put on a little more and spread all over my face. When you put too much the herb smell is stronger than the orangy smell and I don't really like the herb smell. My face also becomes very oily after a while. But so far so good, no breakouts. *touchwood* :p
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Title: Naturenu Wild Rose Hand and Nail Creme
Rated: 4/5
Like: Smell not too over and not too oily.
Dislike: Not very cheap.
Main Review: I like this hand cream a lot. The rose smell is lasting but not overpowering. It's creamy but not too oily. And sample is good enough for 2-3 applications if you're using on your hands only. :) I used it all on my hands and legs. :p After a while you'll totally forget that you put hand cream cause no sticky or oily feeling. :) Only minus point it's that I don't often buy hand cream so I find this a tiny bit expensive. :p Might purchase it if I've extra money to spare loh..
Will I Buy It: Maybe

You can get these samples to try them out yourself here. :)

11th Pack of Free Samples

Here's everything in my 11th Pack of Samples. :)

5 items cause the Skin Renewal Gel is supposed to come with pack number 10 but they accidentally missed out. Thumbs up to them for the quick rectification and now I get to test it. :)

Title: Sansho Skin Renewal Gel
Rated: 3/5
Like: Removes deadskin without pain.
Dislike: Doesn't remove blackheads.
Main Review: It effectively removes quite a lot of what appears to be deadskin but doesn't work on my stubborn blackheads though. I prefer this to the marvel gel from ginvera?. At least after using it, my face doesn't hurt. If your main concern is deadskin I think you might like it. My main concern is my very stubborn blackheads, so I don't think I'll get this product.
Will I Buy It: No

Title: CURE Natural Aqua Jel
Rated: 4/5
Like: Removes deadskin w/o pain, easy application
Dislike: Doesn't remove blackheads
Main Review: Similar to the Sansho Renewal Gel, this Jel also removes deadskin without the pain I get after using the Ginvera marvel gel. But I personally feel that this CURE is better than the Sansho one because it's very easy to apply. When you pump out it's gel form, once you apply on your face it's like liquid like that. Very easy to smooth on. Only minus point is that I still have those stubborn blackheads. I think I'm stuck with stawberry nose for the rest of my life. :(
Will I Buy It: No

Title: Skinfood Oat Cinnamon Rich Foam
Rated: 3/5
Like: Natural smell, scrub & not too drying.
Dislike: It's not cheap.
Main Review: The natural smell, makes me feel at ease while using. I also like the gentle feel of the scrub and the not too drying feel. It's a pity that it doesn't really suit my oily combination skin and also a little bit expensive. :p
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Title: Naturenu Honey Mango Body Butter
Rated: 4/5
Like: Smell and non-sticky feel
Dislike: Not much effect.
Main Review: I like the smell, was a bit hesitant to grab this sample when I read reviews saying that the smell is very strong. I find it alright if I use on my legs and arms. It's not too bad. It's my first time using body butter and I find it not easy to spread everywhere like lotion. But also because of the not easy to spread, I can slowly apply to my skin and find my skin being loved. :p But I find that there's not much moisturising effect on the skin. Maybe I should buy one to try using and see if it does work if used long term. :)
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Title: Skinfood Black Sesame Hot Mask
Rated: 3/5
Like: Warm and the natural smell.
Dislike: Doesn't clear my stubborn blackheads.
Main Review: I'm still looking for anything that can help me clear those stubborn blackheads. This mask smells really nice to me. The "scrub" feels alright but if you massage too hard it's a little painful. I like the warm warm feeling when you first put it on but it doesn't seem to last long and I'm not sure what it really does to my skin. Glad that it's quite gentle and didn't hurt my skin, I guess it's pretty good as a normal scrub that smells really good. But nah, I wouldn't buy it cause I'm still searching for my perfect blackhead remover mask and of coz it's also not very cheap you know. :p
Will I Buy It: No

You can grab these samples too.

10th Pack of Free Samples Review

Been spending so much time editing those zoo trip photos until my eyes going to pop out liao. Let's take a break from all those animals photos and review some free samples.. lalala~

1st Pack of Free Samples review. (3 items)

3rd Pack of Free Samples review. (4 items)
4th Pack of Free Samples review. (3 items)

Supposed to come with the Sansho Skin Renewal Gel, but they forget to include and thus it's coming in with my 11th Pack of Free Samples. :)

Title: Ginvera Nutriwhite Marvel Gel And Nutriwhite Lotion
Rated: 2/5
Like: Removes deadskin
Dislike: Slight pain & the sunscreen lotion?
Main Review: Alright there's 2 product here so I'll review one at the time okay? Not okay also must say okay, cause that's what I'm going to do. First up, the Marvel Gel. I think it removes deadskin as my skin feels smoother after using it. As for my stubborn blackheads, probably only 25-50% were removed. My face hurts after exfoliating and it's really irritating lah. :( Next, the Illuminating Lotion. I thought it's like a toner kinda lotion but alas, it's more like a sunblock kinda cream. Face is a bit sticky and I don't like it at all. So now I have a sticky with slight pain face. :(
Will I Buy It: No

Title: Lotree Base Makeup
Rated: 4/5
Like: Good coverage & easy to use.
Dislike: Expensive
Main Review: I'm not a makeup expert so I wouldn't be able to tell you the pros and cons like a professional. But even a makeup idiot like me can use this to make my skin look very chio. I'm sure it's a pretty good product. :) It didn't fully cover my super dark panda eyes but it covers most of my blemishes! Coverage without "weight" is good. I'm not a big fan of liquid foundation. I find them messy and I always end up looking rather "ghostly". This time round with the base and little pressed powder on top, I look quite natural and I like it. :) I prefer this to their BB cream as BB cream a bit difficult for me to blend? The only minus point so far it's the price. I'm a soon-to-be student and SGD60 for 1 (35ml) bottle is indeed a little steep for me. :(
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Title: Sansho Skin Emollient Essence
Rated: 2/5
Like: Nothing.
Dislike: Doesn't work for me?
Main Review: I used before bedtime and when I wake up I didn't notice any difference other than more blackheads. I don't like the white particles and the werid werid feeling it gave me when applying the product. Guess this essence thing doesn't work for me. :(
Will I Buy It: No

There are many samples waiting for you to grab them. :)

9th Pack of Free Samples Review (Best Kit of 08)

In case you missed the previous free samples reviews:
1st Pack of Free Samples review. (3 items)
2nd Pack of Free Samples review. (3 items)
3rd Pack of Free Samples review. (4 items)
4th Pack of Free Samples review. (3 items)
5th Pack of Free Samples review. (4 items)
6th Pack of Free Samples review. (4 items)
7th Pack of Free Samples review. (3 items)
8th Pack of Free Samples review. BB Cream Special (4 items)

I actually requested for this pack to come in as registered mail cause I don't want to miss getting the "sample kit of the year". :p Alright I lied, I checked out using registered mail because I wanted to check if they would take a lot longer to reach me. Guess what? It's almost the same timing! :) I love it that they send those samples out within 1-2days so we get our free samples within a week. :)

Title: Listerine ~~Mint~~ Mouth Wash (Bright & Clean)
Rated: 4/5
Like: It works.
Dislike: Spicy!! & dry mouth.
Main Review: I am forced to use mouth wash because of my tooth all decaying and all going to drop out if I don't clean them well. Laugh all you want, but that's the SAD truth. I'm in this love-hate relationship with this mouthwash. It's really spicy and that's how I know it works but then it's so hot that I tear after 5-10secs of rinsing. :( And after rinsing my mouth feel very dry. :( but I'll still use it because it works. :p
Will I Buy It: Yes

Title: Neutrogena Radiance Sampler Kit
Rated: 4/5
Like: No stinging feeling, light scent & skin feels pampered.
Dislike: Cleanser has milk smell?
Main Review: As of now, this is the sample kit of the year!! I know you're probably still laughing at my cleanser has milk smell comment. Yes, I'm one of those irritating overly sensitive people. lalala~ But don't get me wrong, I love the cleanser. Even though it has a milk smell and doesn't foam as much as my usual cleanser, my face actually feels clean minus the dry feeling! The toner doesn't stings my face and I also like that it smells alright to me. :) The best item has to go to the mask! I left the mask on for 15mins and took it off before I sleep; I woke up next day with a glow on my face. :) Will check this product out and if it's not too far away from my budget, I'll definitely buy it! :)
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Title: Loreal True Match Two Way Powder Foundation
Rated: 2/5
Like: SPF
Dislike: Coverage soso and my face a bit oily after 4hrs
Main Review: Like what some have already said, it's quite a normal 2way powder foundation. Coverage is so-so, I use it on top of bb cream. Tone wise, it'll be good if they let people choose the shade that's suitable for their skin tone. But it'll be more expensive to manufacture I think. :p Just 4 hours after application, my nose has started to get a tiny bit oily. The sample size is good to bring out for touch-ups when you've only got a tiny bag to squeeze your stuffs in. :)
Will I Buy It: No

Title: Derma Genesis Cellular Youth Creating Day Cream
Rated: 3/5
Like: Feels a bit like gel, not too creamy.
Dislike: A bit sticky & my face kinda shine after a while.
Main Review: If you do follow my reviews, you'll know that I'm not a big fan of creams. I find most creams too rich for my liking and sometimes if I slather on a little more, my combi skin will protest with breakouts and some oil beads thingy? :( Not to mention that I hate the thick thick feeling on my face. Like a mask suffocating my skin like that. So, boy am I glad that this cream is actually more gel-cream than cream-cream. :) My face feels a tiny bit sticky-oily but it's not so bad that I feel it's dirty or something. And my nose looks kinda shiny which irritates me because I hate my fat nose. :(
Will I Buy It: Maybe

Quickly go grab the sample kit of the year before it goes OOS! :)
