I know I’ve mentioned this on my blog before: I have extremely oily skin. There’s something, in particular, in Memphis water that wrecks havoc with my skin! The water isn’t bad here,…it’s actually really good! Great tap water you can drink! But boy, it makes my face one oily mess!
Lately, my thing online has been signing up for free beauty samples. Why drive to the stores and test out stuff with gas prices these days? Hell, let the samples come to you!
I had ordered some free samples from Mario Badescu online. I’d never heard of this line before till I read a blogger’s experience with the products. Looks like it’s only sold in Nordstrom/Henri Bendel/Fred Segal. Heh, none of those here in Memphis! So, I wanted to see how these would work out with my skin.
Here is what I got:
- Enzyme Clenasing Gel
- Special Cucumber Lotion
- Hyaluronic Eye Cream
- Strawberry Tonic Mask
- A.H.A. & Ceramide Moisturizer
- Seaweed Night Cream
- Drying Cream
- Strawberry Face Scrub
