I’ve received a ton of samples
with my Kbeauty orders recently and I also bought a few sets just to try them
out. Yes you can buy kbeauty samples for a dollar or two,
sometimes more depending on where you buy it but still super inexpensive to try
out a product before buying them. Since they’re not all easily accessible and
take weeks to actually arrive, I think it’s such a great way to try and test
out products. It is also a massive help when your skin hates a product, you can
be informed right away and don’t have to deal with a full size product that is
of no use to you. It’s pretty much impossible to return them or even pass them
onto someone else unless you know a lot of K beauty addicts. So I hope these
mini reviews/first impressions can be a nice and quick way to get introduced to
some products.
#1 Laneige Water Sleeping Mask:
An absolute cult classic product. Everyone who is already into K-beauty has
tried it, I’m sure but I know there are a lot of people reading this who haven’t
heard of it. This product is something you need to try. It’s a sleeping mask
that you put on over your moisturizer at night for added hydration and
plumping. It is a pale blue gel cream that showed results from the first use. I
went to bed with redness on my cheeks and between my eyebrows which always
happens to me because of dryness. I woke up with zero redness and a glowing
complexion the next morning. I use a moisturizer every night anyway but this
never happens instantly. It takes a week or more to soothe my sensitive skin when
it has been irritated. I’ve used it three days straight so you don't need a lot of product to spread it all over your face. Honestly my skin
looks so beautiful, I don’t even want to put on foundation. The full size is
quite pricey but I’ll have to splurge on this one product.

#2 Berrisom Timetox Revitalizing
Gel Toner: Well I’ve heard of watery toners and serum like toners but this is
the first time I’ve ever found a toner that is a gel. Its consistency is exactly
like an aloe vera gel, cooling but very sticky. I feel like the stickiness
doesn’t completely go away even after you layer a moisturizer on top. I started
feeling pretty hot and icky soon and I think it’s not something I’d use at
night. Might work much better under makeup and help adhere to makeup because of
its sticky texture but I wasn’t a huge fan.

#3 Ogana Cell Peptide
Concentrating Amazing Lotion: I was over the moon to receive this sample and
you’re probably thinking what’s so special about this little, white sample?
Well, the original size of this product retails for $180 - $200. This is a
specially formulated lotion/emulsion for sensitive skin by dermatologists and
is packed with high content of peptides. It’s a very light lotion with mild to
no fragrance. I put it on after my morning toner and this feels so beautiful on
the skin. It sinks in after 10 minutes so I let it take it’s time and what’s
left behind is beautifully moisturized skin. No stickiness, no oiliness and no
stretchiness either. The perfect feeling of moisturization without leaving any
residue. This is a fantastic product but I don’t think I’m getting the full
size anytime soon unless I win the lottery then I’ll pick one up for sure.
Full Size: $180 for 180ml
#4 Etude House Moistfull Collagen
Cream: I was excited to try this one out because it’s one of the most hyped up
products from the brand Etude House. It is a gel cream texture as well but a
lot of dry skinned people swear by it and people even say that it’s their
perfect winter cream. So I decided it to test it out at night and although it
works fine as a moisturizer, I feel like it sinks in pretty fast and leaving my
skin a little dry like I’ve just cleansed it. I don’t find it rich enough to be used as a night cream. I've heard of a "deep cream" variety of this range as well and maybe it will be a little more hydrating. Also it
contains alcohol which explains the cooling feeling just after application. I
have totally cut out alcohol denat from my skincare so I’ve just been using it
as a body lotion and won’t be repurchasing.

#5 Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask:
Another product that is similar to the Laneige water sleeping mask but for your
lips. First off this smells like bubblegum so I love, love, love the smell.
However the texture of this is like a clear lip gloss and even looks like it on
the lips. It has high shine, is kinda sticky and sort of sits on the lips. It
does work wonderfully and makes chapped lips look healthy the next morning but
the feeling of having something sit on my lips all night is a bit weird to me.
I prefer a balm/salve that you rub in and it sinks in completely. Although I’ll
use this one up especially during the day because my lips need moisturization all the time but I don't think I'll be repurchasing because I have other lip treatments at the moment.
