In terms of brand selection, they still included the 'fake' Swiss brand Enavose, but make it up with some other lovely brands like Elizabeth Arden and Dirty Works.
And here's everything I received.
1. Enavose Cellogist Youth Guard Cream
As I said previously, I have no trust to brands who market themselves to be from a different country from their origination. So I tried the product with a lot of question marks. Surprisingly this particular product is up to my standard, with a nice smell, not too thick yet still moisturizes enough, blends well into skin and keeps my skin hydrated for quite a while - but not too long, my skin became too much oily in the afternoon after 4 hours application. So I guess this will be a great choice for dryer and more matured skins. Girls with oily skins please keep a distance from it, anyway Singapore is too hot for such a rich cream.
2. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules
Interestingly that there were only 2 capsules in the sample - I really wonder any difference will be made with only 2 applications... Luckily the capsule is my mum's favorite for decades so I could still say something about it... It's oily, yet absorbs very well (within 30 seconds in Singapore's hot & humid weather). It's an intense treatment, that my skin became visibly plumper and pore-less the next morning. Girls below 30 can use it as a treatment every few days, and daily in dose is recommended for more matured skins. My mum's holy grail for decades and she just kept repurchasing it! =)
3. Dirty Works All of a Lather Body Wash
My 2nd try to the Dirty Works label. This body wash comes in a translucent blue color that reminds me of something you use for the toilet... not a nice one... But the smell is not bad, a bit artificial, but still considered clean and fresh, lemon-ish smell that my hubby enjoys as well. The cleansing power is up to standard, but leaves no other additional benefits. I would be happy to receive this as a gift but will definitely not repurchasing it with my own money.
4. Macadamia Natural Oil
I love this oil a lot! It comes with an Indian smell in a good way (if you know what I mean keke...). I would use a few drops on my damaged ends and it instantly becomes soft, shiny which could even last me for a whole day! I would definitely get a full size after finishing this sample, but not locally (30ml for SG$28), Amazon sells it at over 70% cheaper (120ml for US$18.95)!
5. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails
I don't really need a hardener for my nails (they are naturally hard). But I still gave it a try as a clear base which helped my nail polishes lasted longer. Again I'm not going to buy it but don't mind of receiving it as a gift again =)
