Sachet samples and I do not get along – unless I’ve heard incredible things about said product and can’t wait to use it, they just don’t do it for me. There’s something a little sad about them, two uses and then that’s it, even if there’s more product left in them, the congealed sachet packet just is no longer appealing. So you can imagine my delight when at the Dior standalone beauty store in Covent Garden the other day, the lovely sales assistant gave me the cutest samples ever and the packaging was exactly the same as the full sized product – just mini!
I love miniature products, I think all women do, they just bring out the six year old in all of us. The Dior samples are actually damn good though and ones that I’ll definitely consider purchasing the full sizes of, the Dior Addict Gloss 643 is a non sticky watermelon shade that looks amazing over a nude lip to make it pop, and the Diorshow New Look Mascara gives a false lash effect without any awkward clumps, it glides on to lashes smoothly and elongates as well as gives them volume – the perfect day to night mascara.
Overall though, I’m not going to lie, the appeal is mainly their cute size!
I noticed your pois de senteur candle in the background, do you know if theres a way to buy it still, or did you get it when it was originally released?
