Try before you buy!

Ever since I first read about it a year or so ago, I have wanted to try out Cure Natural Aqua Gel. Two things prevented me from trying it out: (1) it is expensive and not readily accessible, only available through online resellers (at that time), and (2) it only comes in one big-ass bottle size and should I have any adverse reaction/s to it, nakakahinayang if I have to scrap the whole bottle. So when I saw this yesterday on Instagram, I saw my chance:

Thank God I was following Ms. Nikki Tiu of Askmewhats!

Sample Room has been around for a while now, but I have not had any real incentive to join until this. Or, a product sample on offer may interest me but then there wouldn’t be any left so I end up not registering. This time I checked first if there are any samples left, and to my delight there were still a lot left! 😀 So I wasted no time in signing up and grabbing a sample. It costs 25 points for 5 sachets of the stuff. That left with 75 points still so I looked for another product or two to maximize the shipping cost. Fortunately, there were still a few products with available stocks. I chose this:

I figured it’s pretty general-use and a light moisturizer is perfect since it’s been a hot, hooooot summer. Unlike the other one, the Céleteque product sample is a full-sized 120 mL bottle! 😀 Ain’t that grand? Its retail price at Php 349 and cost me 65 points from Sample Room. The shipping fee for the two samples cost me Php 130 + Php 50 (bank deposit fee) since I live here in Batangas. Not bad at all, since I’m getting more than twice that amount’s worth of products anyway. 😉

Now I wait for the samples to arrive, hopefully tomorrow or the day after. Excited! 😀
