KIEHLS Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque. . . Kiehls does it again. Their entire Ultra line is great for sensitive skin and no nonsense people. This masque is not super heavy but it feels quite hydrating. This sample last for 3 uses using a very thin layer that your face with slurp with abandon. . . #livingonbeautysamples #livingonsamplesforayear #freestuff #kiehls #masque #skin #overnight #greatfortravel #samples

NIVEA Moisturizing Body Wash . . This was left in my house by someone, I have no idea who. It is moisturizing, good price point (if you pay for it). TIP: another way to save money on beauty products is to ask your friends/family if they have products at home they do not like. Take them!! Of course, nothing from a jar, but why not shampoos and hair products, nail polish, shower gels, sprays, even makeup...and before you start bashing me on the anti-hygiene wagon, go to my blog and read what I have to say about that. . . #cheapthrills #moneysaver #nivea #showergel #freestuff #livingonbeautysamples #livingonsamplesforayear #leftbehind #givethemahome

MURAD Age-Balancing Serum and Night Cream . . I don't think this line exists anymore. That's a shame. I got this plus a cleanser and a mist as an introductory package and everything was great for my late 30s skin in Michigan winters. Saw a big difference. This was also my first "full line" that I tried. They do have a new serum called "Retinol Youth Renewal Serum" for $88 but I am not sure if it is the same serum with a different name. In any case, these starter packs are a great value. They last at least 1 month and they are not pricey consider you are getting and entire regime. . . #muradskincare #murad #onlyusingsamples #2017 #livingonbeautysamples #livingonsamplesforayear #cheapthrills #moneysaver #skin #sephora #murad

BITE. Iluminous Creme Lipstick for VIB Rouge . . $1K. That is the ridiculous amount you need to spend at Sephora to be a VIB Rouge. Shame on me and the reason why I am doing this blog. No $$ on beauty products for one year. . . Sooo...the Thank You gift two years ago for being a VIB Rouge was this Bite lipstick. I've had it for 2 YEARS, never used it until the other day. Little did I know this was a matte lipstick and I. Am. Obsessed. 2 year old matte lipstick and IT IS NOT DRY. Must have more preservatives than a McDonalds Chicken Nugget. I love both so...winning! . . #vibrouge #sephora #bite #bitebeauty #livingonsamplesforayear #livingonsamples #preservativesbedamned #makeup #mattelipstick #mattelip #whatonethousanddollarsgetyou #youwinsephora #wellplayed

ESTEE LAUDER. Advanced Night Repair. Sample size. . . The size of this sample is phenomenal as well as the product. Whenever Grandma gets her Youth Dew, I get her GWP and there is always a sample of this, which lasts me about 2 months. Great serum if you want to step it up a notch. I noticed quick results and my skin looked great while using it. . . Thanks Grandma. . . . #todayssample #livingonsamplesforayear #livingonsamples #gwp #esteelauder #advancednightrepair #greatskin #skin #skinblogger #beauty #beautyblogger #cheapthrills #findyouselfagrandma

LANCOME. The Smoothing and Glow Boosting Liquid Moisturizer. . . Not sure what to make of this. Did not last long. Liquidy. Super light moisture. Will pass. I guess it would be good for people in humid environments or as an add-on to an existing moisturizer. I am busy enough to keep adding steps to my routine. . . #lancome #energiedevie #livingonbeautysamples #livingonsamplesforayear #skin #skincare #lovemyskin #liquidmoisturizer #soso

#5 #todayssample SEPHORA WATERPROOF EYE MAKEUP REMOVER: The 💣 in makeup remover wipes. Nothing compares, not even Neutrogena. I even have a sample of this remover in liquid form and using it with a cotton ball still not the same as this tiny wipe. One-time use only. #livingonsamplesforayear #beautyblogger #beautyblog #sephora #savingmoney #365daysofbeautysamples

Sample #4 -- Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo& Conditioner--Kiehl's looooves to give samples and I loooove them for it. These samples are nice to have when you travel, but they were just ok for me. Not bad at all, but I want to be BLOWN Away when I shampoo. This was just efficient, like shaving my underarms: it takes care of it but it is really forgettable. #myyearlivingonsamples #beautyblog #beautyblogger #livingonsamplesforayear #todayssample #kiehlsrockbutnotthistime
