WIMH / Oskia Renaissance Mask

I received another sample to try from http://www.whatsinmyhandbag.com

If you haven't discovered this website yet - you can read more in my previous post here.

Personally, I don't sign up for every single trial every week but only for the products that I'm actually interested in - and I was lucky enough to be picked for a second product, last week.

Actually, now you also have the possibility to pay and guarantee your sample which is a good option, in my opinion.

Oskia Renaissance Mask

I didn't know much about this brand, apart from the fact that is very luxurious and I'm always looking forward to try new masks and face treatments.

 The opulence of the brand totally reflects in the packaging too: glass jar in a cotton pouch.

The mask itself looks like a sticky balm in the jar but it's actually not sticky at all on application.

It transforms into a white cream when worked into the skin and there's a slight foam action due to the AHA's eating out at the skin surface, I reckon.

It's still very gentle and not uncomfortable at all; the mask has a delicate and natural scent that reminds me of Monu products (which I love).

 I think this is a fantastic mask!

It left my skin very smooth and deeply cleaned.

The full size 50ml costs £48.50 which I don't think it's that out of this world; in fact, a little goes a long way and I reckon I could get 4/5 applications from the sample.

Have you tried Oskia before? Any product you'd recommend?

Delivery / REN

Hello lovelies!

Few posts ago - here - I was telling you about the amazing offer REN is running and last week, I received my order.

Six of the Best

This set was part of the offer and completely free with any purchase!

I've been wanting to learn more about REN so this is perfect as the samples are generous and they are a mix of everything: a cleansing gel, serum, eye cream, mask, .., ..,

It contains:

- Mayblossom Balancing Cleansing Gel

- Jojoba Micro Bead Invigorating Facial Polish

- Omega 3 Night Repair Serum

- Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask

- Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream

Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel

Travel Kit

I decided to order this because the set above already gives me plenty to try about skincare; also, it comes in a clear zip bag which is going to be useful for carrying your hand luggage allowance.

This kit includes:

- Neroli and Grapefruit Body Cream

- Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash

- Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo

- Pro-Vitamin Hair Conditioner

Finally, I picked this additional samples:

- Photoactive Sun Veil SPF15

- F10 Smooth and Renew Mask

*UPDATE*

Being the serum junkie that I am, I decided to start with the Omega 3 Night Repair Serum; it smelled really fishy and the consistency didn't seem right so I read online that it could have gone off, as the normal smell is more peachy.

I contacted REN on Twitter and they offered to check it for me and to send it back freepost; apparently, it was fine but it clearly wasn't right for my skin as it's a very oily serum... so they offered to send me another serum to try: I chose the Keep Young and Beautiful SH3C Serum.

Very impressed with their friendly and prompt service! :)

Have you tried any of these?

Which one is your favourite? :)

What's in My Handbag

www.whatsinmyhandbag.com is another website which is becoming popular, lately...

You'll find a pick inside other women's bags, which is great if you're noisy by nature and it's also great for discovering new products.

You can share your own bag content, have the chance to add items to your wishlist plus create your beauty cabinet with products that you own yourself.

Every week - they, also, offer a product to try: you can register very easily on the website and if your name is drawn, you'll receive your sample in the post.

I was lucky enough to be picked and received Miller Harris Citron Citron - both a parfume sample and a body lotion.

lovely personal message on the wrapping

 I'm pretty picky when coming to scents but I'm liking this sample - it's very fresh and citrusy and I think I will enjoy wearing it, this summer.

The body lotion - well, this is going to waste with me as I don't do 'plain' body creams so I will not be using it. I will, probably, add this to my swap box and try to exchange it with something else.
