I might be late for publishing this post but no one can stop me from expressing my enthusiasm to be part of Sample Room’s Blogger Circle. Yes! If there’s a will there will always be a way. I am hoping they will still consider my post. Why should they? Because… 

I have been blogging for almost I think more than 5 years but this blog is turning 4 years old this May. (My baby is growing up so fast. hehehe) I might not be the best blogger in town but I will always make sure I am doing my best to blog about my thoughts, experiences or emotions towards certain products, events or situation. I will be brutally honest and truth will prevail but of course in a not-harsh-manner. I am not a certified beauty blogger, but I am kikay as a beauty blogger. I love trying new products and sharing my thoughts thru my blog. Moreover, Sample Room will be the best solution for trying certain products that is out of the market without splurging too much on trying new things. They help us decide whether it is yay or nay for us. I want to help Sample Room to spread the word about the latest products and innovations on hair care, skin care, body care, fragrance, cosmetics, tools, health, slimming and lifestyle. I also want to help the ladies out there on buying the right product/s for them. Let’s choose the right products for our body to maintain our youthfulness and beauty inside and out. 

Plus I really really want to be part of this Blogger’s Circle because I want to be one of the first people to try the new products on their site. They are one of the reliable sites I have known. And of course the perks:

It’s my first time to redeem my points on Sample Room. I got C-Lium fibre capsule and Pevonia’s Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. I had a great time trying all of the sample items I received. Before anything else, let me introduce Sampleroom.ph , it is a site where you can have sample products for free, all you have to do is sign up and you are automatically have 100 points to try the products but make sure they still have stocks to accommodate your request. Always watch out for their social media site for refilling and adding the sample products because supplies are limited. The only thing you will pay for is the shipping fee that cost around 100 bucks for Manila area. Once you have received the sample products, don’t forget to try it immediately and make a review on the particular product on their site and on your blog (if you have a blog). Then, if your review has been accepted by the editors you earn points equivalent to the points of the product you choose plus one (1) point for submitting a review and another plus one (1) point, if your review has been approved. It means the more product reviews the more points you earn. Woot wooo! It also saves us from buying the products that are not suitable for our skin, hair, nose, or environment. Haha I am seriously, loving this site. 

Now for my product review. 

-Sample Room 

C-lium Fibre (capsule) is one of the products I want to try for almost a long period of time. When I got the chance to try it, I hurriedly signed up for it. After using it for 6 days, I am satisfied with the product. It helped me lose weight because I am also on a diet. It also normalized my digestion which what I really wanted to achieve because most of the time I am constipated. (Yes, I am.. Please don't tell anyone. hehehe) It also made me feel not hungry all the time. It benefited me to eat less than my usual consumption. I felt full after a small bite. I will use this continuously.

-Sample Room 

I have sensitive skin. If I am not using the right product for my face I got zits and rushes. However, using Pevonia’s Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser proves to me that it can be used by sensitive skin like mine. It also made my face smooth and moisturized the whole day. I can not stop touching my face. It's like baby's skin. hihi Not only that it also removed my excess oil on my face. Should I buy it? Maybe. Well, with the price I am a little hesitant on buying it. It's a little bit pricey for a facial cleanser. Unless you're rich or want to splurge for a facial cleanser. I recommend it. Plus it made my cheeks rosy, it saves me from putting a tint on it. 

Celeteque - Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes (Free item)

That's for now! I hope you enjoyed reading my product reviews from Sample Room Ph. Till Next time!

This will be a quick post. My #OOTD for today was taken from our post-Christmas party last January. I was a little lazy to fix my hair so for the shortest and the quickest solution always bring an extra ponytail to bun your messy and unmanageable hair. Ta-da! messy bun. hahaha Moreover, colored pants are back. I had a pair of green pants before and I though why should I wear this again. If only I knew it will be in again, I would not gave it to someone else. hehe Now, I bought this cute slim cut rusty jeans at Forever21. I am loving it. Next time, I would buy the stressed colored jeans. 

Pardon the messy background those bags were owned by my friends. hehehe By the way, I prefer having #OOTD shoot during daytime because of the natural light from the sun. It helps to have a nice photo. Well, except for this photos. It took place during the evening with my friends.
