I emailed them a while ago requesting some samples and they seriously sent me a TON. To this day I was able to test some of them and here are my first impressions.
Crème de la Shave in Toasted Almond and Raspberry Honey 0.33oz
This shave cream is absolutely amazing! It doesn’t foam, instead it makes my razor glide like no other giving me the closest shave ever. Looks like a lot of people agree with me on this one, based on all of the raving testimonials. This cream comes in five scents, and of course my favorite is Toasted Almond because I loooove everything almond. It’s inexpensive so it’s well within my budget to purchase a few tubes. This is quite possibly my new must-have shaving item 🙂
Vegecol with Aloe Moisturizing Cream 0.17oz
I don’t know about aloe, but to me this moisturizer smells exactly like sweet black tea with lemon. The cream is pearly yellow and it’s very light and immediately absorbs into the skin. Now, I love good creams and this one is awfully good for my combination skin. I could tell my skin is velvety soft and moisturized yet it feels and looks dry. Anyone with oily or combination skin knows that some moisturizers make your skin look a bit wet or even oily, well not this one. So I’m not sure if it’s suitable for drier skin types, but I would definitely recommend it for combination to oily-skinned people.
Sea Buckthorn Nourishing Moisturizing Lotion 0.17oz & Collagen & Almond Enriching Moisturizing Body Lotion
Sea Buckthorn: Unfortunately the sample size was not large enough for me to use on my entire body, but I managed to cover legs and arms. It absorbed crazy fast and left the skin very soft and glowing. I didn’t care for the scent but it wasn’t noticeable at all once I put this lotion on my skin.
Collagen & Almond: I loved this lotion! Just like the previous sample, it really nourished my skin without leaving any residue. I loved the berry scent and that it didn’t feel sticky, so I could get dressed right away.
Rosa Mosqueta Night Crème with Alpha Lipoic Acid 0.17oz
This rich and a little greasy cream is ideal for dry and sensitive skin. It looked too heavy on my combination skin but I still tried it out for the sake of testing. In the morning my face didn’t look oily at all, instead it was glowing and rested.

Hello 🙂 I love your blog and I was wondering, do you email companies to ask for samples?
Hello Crystal!
Some companies I email myself, others approach me and ask if I would be interested in featuring their products 🙂
