Samples Made Me Buy It

I love when stars align.

Months ago Kirsten did a video with this title and I was instantly inspired.
The next month, with no prompting from me, Heidi wrote a post about the REN Clean Skincare Clarimatte Invisible Pores Detox Mask sample that I'd given to her. Gotta be fate. Only recently, I rehashed my appreciation for stores like Pure Source Barbados that understand that samples: a) endear customers to you as an arm of good customer service and b) actually help people make better purchasing decisions. I can count on one hand the amount of samples I have received from Cave Shepherd. When I asked about them I was told they're mostly given to the Airport branch but I also suspect that some staff keep them for themselves and their inner circle. That's not to say that I don't agree with them giving their friends things but uuuhhh please save some for people like me who spends thousands in there every year.
Anyho...rant done. Here's what I purchased after receiving a sample/trying a travel size. You'll notice that almost everything is skincare. Which makes sense cause dem tings does be expensive.

Let's go all the way back shall we?

Clinique All About Eyes

Back in 2012, when there was an Estee Lauder store in Limegrove called Senses, the staff were very helpful and accommodating. After trying a sample of the above captioned eye cream-gel I went back for the big boy.
