Samples Review: Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream, Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

The weather has changed. Out of nowhere it has HOT. I'm actually considering seeing if I can hook up my air conditioning to avoid some of the heat that is already collecting in my place. But anywho....today we've got two little samples here...and I have a third Laneige Toner but I haven't cracked into it yet. I'll definitely review it once I start using it though...

 Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer

I got a deluxe sample of this from Sephora. I haven't tried a lot of Korean Skincare- but I know it's still all the rage. It is made in Korea and the regular size comes in a refillable pot. So it's a bit kinder to the environment. That being said, it's not for me. It adds a little too much hydration to my skin that is oily combination. I feel like if I put makeup on top I really need to powder it down. I also couldn't tell if it was making my skin break out, I got the hugest pimple when I started using it and then little white heads. Also my skin seemed to feel smoother before I started using it.  I've been using it a few weeks now and no more reactions now. I also don't really love all the acrylates and dimethicones in the ingredients. Not really a product for me. But glad I got to try it. 

Next up, the "sleeping mask". I saw these everywhere at one point. You are supposed to wear it overnight while you sleep. Nevermind that you can do the same with basically any lip balm. And I usually do when I remember. I have the little sampler in the berry scent. Which I thought I didn't like the scent at first but it's actually OK. I barely smell it once I put it on. It's a very thick and glossy product.It's also very expensive and I don't think it's worth the price- nor the hype. I think I would like it better if it was more reasonably priced. Maybe if you have problematic lips? I also am not a fan of the extremely long ingredients list- although it does have some goodies in it like the coconut oil, murmur butter, and shea butter. I can't see myself purchasing it. The free sample was fine. The original pot doesn't seem to be refillable. I wish I could tell if it was glass or plastic...hmmm.

And that's all! I'll probably be back with at least one more post later on today....
