Karen's Beauty Post # 7: Sample Room VIP Experience - Part 2

INTRO:  Ok, so I have to defer my Glamourbox first online shopping experience post because my schedule has all been jammed up!  I need to allot some time to customize my palette and I have to show you guys how I used my Makeup Brush Cleaner.  So watch out for it.

OFF TOPIC CURTAIN RAISER:  I would like to thank the four people who joined my #PASSIONMANILA2014 Instagram contest. LOL.  You guys are awesome.  And because of that, I sent you Php 300 worth of prepaid credits.  Enjoy!

Thanks guys for joining! :)


NOW, FOR MY MAIN POST.  Because I’ve been overjoyed by my First Sampleroom VIP Membershipexperience, I did my second and third batch of availing various samples.  I told you guys through my previous Sampleroom post that I’ll do my best to maximize my membership.  Let me share to you what I’ve got.

For the second batch, I got the following:



Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick (Angelic)
Me in Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick-Angelic
Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick (Angelic)

Achieve rich, longwearing color that glides on smoothly and doesn’t fade away easily. Lasts up to 8 hours! Always hydrating and never drying, this high-cushioned lipstick keeps lips moisturized all day, minimizes the appearance of fine lines, and stops feathering to give lips the perfect plumped-up appearance. Slim and handy, with a see through window for easy identification.
Angelic, a soft rosy nude color for everyday wear.

Full Size 2.4g Php 350

What I’ve got:  Full size (95 points)

My thoughts:  At last, I got hold of this sample!  Since I’m done trying on the red shade variants,  it’s time to go pink.  The description said it has a soft rosy nude color shade, but for me it’s shade has a “kinda wild pink kick”.  I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.  As always, like the other shades, this lippie lasted all day. 



Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick (Bellissima)

Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick (Bellissima)

Bellissima, a lively coral shade that brightens your smile.

Full Size 2.4g Php 350

What I’ve got:  Full size (95 points)

My thoughts:  This shade, for me, is in between Angelic and Headturner (I did not avail the latter because it’s too hot pink for me).  Just a glide of this on my lips is already enough for an all day office look (with a swipe of BB cream on my face and groomed brows of course).   

Check out the swatches with and without flash.  The above shade is Bellissima while below is Angelic. (Side note:  After taking this shot in the morning it stayed on my hand until afternoon.  I washed my hands and I had a hard time removing them.  So much about its lasting power right?)

Whisper Cottony Long
Whisper Cottony Long

Get cottony comfort and 100% leakage protection with Whisper Cottony Clean. Now, the Whisper protection you love has been combined with the comfort of cotton in the new Whisper Cottony Clean. Its Whisper’s softest pad ever so you won’t have to worry about irritation. The New Whisper Cottony Clean also gives you all-side leakage protection and better absorption through its Circles of Protection, an all-new channel design in the front, back and sides that help direct the flow of your period and prevent leakage. So you can stay active or even dare to do the things you couldn't do before during your period!
Whisper Cottony Long: 2 inches longer & wider than your regular pad.

Full size: Whisper Cottony Long 7s Pack (28 cm)

What I’ve got:  Full size (15 points)

My thoughts:  Thank goodness.  Whisper finally came up of having cottony long variants.  Cottony pads are more comfortable to wear but compared to maxi dry pads, it’s less absorbent for me.  But I don’t mind changing pads as long as I feel comfy.  And it’s forgivable since it’s a long pad, I don’t have to worry about back leaks specially during sleeping.

Bonus Item: Céleteque Advanced Anti Aging (Anti Wrinkle Ultra Hydrating Cleansing Oil)

Full size 50mL/100mL Php199/369

What I’ve got:  8mL sample (valued at around Php 29.52)

Check my review here.

I think Sample Room is giving away a sample of this to all of its subscribers.



Overall, I’m happy with my second wave of Sampleroom goodies.  So I tried sampling again for the third time as a VIP member : )

Check these out guys:



Digestics with ProbiFiber+
Digestics with ProbiFiber+

Digestics is the first probiotic food supplement in the market with fiber content, backed by clinical studies to confirm its safety and efficacy. Its dual-action formula not only ensures digestive balance but also promotes regular bowel movement.

Digestics comes in a pleasant-tasting powder, packed in handy single-dose aluminum foil stick sachets, which are convenient and easy to:


Take for all age groups – there are no tablets/capsules to swallow
Consume – only a small amount of powder, which can be directly poured on the tongue
Mix into foods and drinks – cold to room temperature
Open – simply tear off the top
Carry – in your pocket or bag

Full size 1 box = 10 sachets Php 250

What I’ve got:  2 boxes (65 points)

My thoughts:  I tried a sachet of this today.  I mixed it with my cucumber infused drinking water.  (flashback:  I had a hard time pooping this morning.)  An hour after I finished my drink,  I loosened it up.  I felt good and clean inside.  Nuff said. 

H2O Eye Oasis Moisture Replenishing Treatment/Celeteque Cleansing Oil
H2O Eye Oasis Moisture Replenishing Treatment

A fast-absorbing, oil-free intensive hydrating treatment formulated to target the delicate eye area with phospholipids, multivitamin complex and moisturizing marine botanicals

* Nutrient-rich marine botanicals cool and soothe the skin with moisture, diminishing fine lines and revitalizing texture so eyes appear bright and well-rested
* Penetrating liposomes transmit Provitamin B and vitamins A, C, and E to help protect skin from environmental exposure and accelerate cellular renewal
* Sea-derived essential minerals work synergistically with Sea Mineral Complex, a patented, scientifically advanced delivery system to ensure vital nutrients are rapidly absorbed at the cellular level

Full size 15mL Php 1,750

What I’ve got:  4mL sample -  400 points (valued at Php 466.47)

My thoughts:  This served as my “last resort” sample.  I was able to avail almost all of the available samples except for this one.  Shedding off 400 points for 4mL sample of this is my least liked thing to do.  But yeah, I have no choice but to give this a shot.  I have high hopes that this will be soooo effective for its price.

UPDATE:  Been trying this one for almost a week.  My eyes are lesser "puffy" upon waking up in the morning.  As for the reduced fine lines on the eye area, I can't say anything much for the amount of sample given.  I'll probably not buy the full sized product. :-/

Sulit! :)
So there you go guys!  I loved these items.  That’s all I can say!

By the way, Sample Room had its latest sample offering--  The Belo Sunexpert products (Face and Body Sunscreen lotion and transparent mist).  But I was able to score these items from Glamourbox that’s why I was not interested to avail the items.  As they say, let’s give chance to others. :)

UPDATE:  I availed the products anyway, but gave it to my one lucky reader through my Belo SunExpert Summer Giveaway :)
