Bodhi Green Tea Lotion and 3CE Dual Sharpener

Happy weekend everyone. Hope all of you are enjoying you time offs. I plan to have very low-key one, mostly stay at home and maybe head to the mall for a few hours for some retail therapy. Not that I don't indulge myself on "ordinary" days.

Free Samples and GWPs!!!

Mini Haul: Bodhi Body Lotion, 3CE Dual Sharpener, Lots of Samples from Luxola.com

For today, I have yet another (teeny, tiny, mini) haul from my favorite online shop, Luxola.com. As I've said before, I come there to see what samples I could score because they do give out generous items with any purchase plus they ship free to the Philippines. Who can beat that?! Here they are:

Bodhi Green Tea Body Lotion

Bodhi Green Tea Body Lotion, 250ml | ₱ 650.50
Essential oils and pure plant extracts give your skin a natural source of nutrients. Free from parabens, sulphates, and many other unnecessary chemicals. Bodhi products are intrinsically safe for your body and safe for the environment.

I got this at 50% discount so it was only around Php 300. The lotion came in a plastic, dark green transparent container which you can twist left or right to open and close. I'm mostly meh about this because I don't like the smell. It smelled very "grassy", not overwhelming but enough to put me off. I just use this mostly on my legs so that I won't smell it. Too bad about the smell because this is quite moisturizing and absorbed well. My skin feels smooth and supple, with not greasy after feel.

3CE Dual Sharpener | ₱ 195.00
Dual blade to sharpen all types of makeup pencils and crayons. This ensures that the pencil and crayon tips will give more precise and professional looking applications. The handy cover serves to catch all waste shavings.

I don't have a decent cosmetic sharpener so this was really a nifty buy. I was really looking forward for this because I needed to sharpen some of my NYX Jumbo pencils. Unfortunately, the big pencils don't quite fit right. The little sharpener performed great (less product wastage) but I expected the big one to finally solve my Jumbo Pencil dilemma and it didn't. :(

Dr. Jart+ Most Moist Water-Up Serum

Dr. Jart+ Most Moist Water-Up Serum

Luxola Beauty Blender

Use Beautyblender's wider side to help blend concealers, foundation, primers and blushes; while its pointed end assists you in applying makeup at hard-to-reach areas, such your along the corners of your eyes, nose and mouth.

Klarity Lasertox CC Miracle White Lotion

Klarity Lasertox CC Miracle White Lotion, 5ml | GWP (Retail: ₱ 1,018.50, 30ml)
Helps to restore your beauty as it has an instant whitening effect on skin tone. Enriched with diamond powder and wild rosehip extract, skin instantly glows leaving you with a radiant and youthful complexion while added SPF30/PA++ helps to protect skin from harmful UV rays, preventing photo-aging and dark spots

I already reviewed this great-performing "lotion" last week (See: KLARITY Lasertox Miracle White CC Lotion). I stock up on this free samples because it's really a great skincare/makeup solution for days when I just want to look low-key. Why buy when you can get things for free? :D

Dr. Jart V7 Beauty Balm

Dr. Jart V7 Beauty Balm, 7ml Sample (Retail: 40ml, ₱ 1,529.00)
This SPF 30 multitasking skincare and make-up balm works to brighten, energize, and restore skin elasticity. A multifunctional, anti-aging, protecting, and perfecting BB cream with Flexitone® technology to provide flawless, natural-looking coverage.

Another BB cream! I'm always up for new things to try out. I liked their Radiance Beauty Balm so hopefully, this will perform as well as that. The brand is well-known for their wide range of great-performing BB creams and I have been considering buying a full-sized product. I'm still on the fence which variant to buy so this might make up my mind.

Mario Badescu, A.H.A Botanical Soap, Super Rich Olive Body Lotion

Mario Badescu, A.H.A Botanical Soap, 29ml Sample (Retail: 8 oz for $8.00)
Enriched with fresh fruit extracts to exfoliate and cleanse the skin. Papaya and grapefruit extracts help breakdown dead skin cells to leave skin feeling soft and smooth. Ginseng extract rejuvenates while oat protein soothes sensitive and irritated areas. Excellent choice for those with problem skin on the back, chest and shoulders.

Super Rich Olive Body Lotion, 29ml Sample (Retail: 6 oz for $10.00)
Creamy, rich, Olive Oil based lotion restores lost moisture and leaves the skin feeling soft and silky without being greasy. Quickly absorbing with minimal fragrance so it is perfect for both men and women. A must after bath or sun to revitalize dry skin.

Mario Badescu is well-known for their budget-friendly yet effective skin care. I still haven,t tried anything from the brand so it's great that I'm able to sample some of their products.

Laqa & Co Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Stranger Danger

Laqa & Co Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Stranger Danger, 2g Sample (Retail: 4g, ₱ 1,041.00)
Lip Lube is a light and glossy hydrating lip balm which perfect for everyday wear. Rather than providing just a glossy shine, the peppermint-shea butter formula delivers an oh-so addictive hit of mint and moisture, with each application to keep lips nourished and moisturized.

Stranger Danger is a vibrant hot pink shade. Coverage and color can be built up from sheer to medium. I love the formula of these lip lubes but sometimes, the color doesn't suit me (Looking at you: The Boss Lady). I was excited to see that Luxola sent me a bright color that I would actually use.
