Perhaps the newest spot on FauxPrah? Who knows. Much like Fab 5 Fridays my next plan is to introduce Sample Saturday. What is it? Just some of my favorite samples that I have jumped into within the week. So lets get going.
I received some of these from Sephora and I'm sure some came in my IPSY or Birchbox subscriptions. Below are some of my hits... and misses.
#1. Dermaclear Micro Water by Dr. Jart+ $32 for 8.4 Ounces at Sephora.com
What is it? According to Sephora.com
What it is:
A pure and natural all-in-one cleansing water that removes makeup and impurities while toning and brightening skin.
What it is formulated to do:
Dermaclear Micro Water is made with 85 percent active hydrogen mineral water instead of refined water and is formulated with 90 percent natural ingredients. This unique formula allows it to remove all impurities, makeup, and even mascara without irritation while it provides nutrients and superior moisturizing. Suitable for hypersensitive skins, the Derma Toning Complex leaves a fresh, clean feeling while toning and brightening.
What does Ms. Faux think?
It is much like many of the micellar waters that are out there. I've tried ones by Simple, Garnier and of course Ms. Faux's favorite, Bioderma and find that this one is really comparable. This does claim to be a mineral water rather than a micellar water like the previously mentioned. Not really sure of the importance of that other than typically minerals are better for you internally or externally than not at all. In terms of how it performs, go with my favorite Bioderma which is comparable in price point or Simple or Garnier which are much less expensive.
#2. Fugi Green Tea Body Butter $21 for 6.7 oz. at theBodyShop-USA.com
What is it? According to The Body Shop...

What does Ms. Faux think?
I have adored The Body Shop's line of body butters for year. The Brazil Nut Butter and Olive Butter are both of my favorites, but I do have to say I love this fresh new favorite. Do you remember the delicious smell of Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea perfume? This smells exactly like it. Also... like this butter? There is an entire Fugi Green Tea Line of products on the Body Shop Website including exfoliating soaps, body scrub, bath tea, lotion, body wash & cologne.
#3. BB Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner $25 for Shampoo & $27 for Conditioner at Sephora.com
What is it? According to Sephora...
What it is:
A lightweight cleanser for anyone craving fullness.What it does:
This shampoo builds body in the shower and gives fine or limp hair a lift while moisturizing and sealing split ends. It's ideal for fine, thinning, limp, or flyaway hair.
What does Ms. Faux think?
I don't know why I waited to do this in a samples story because this shampoo and conditioner deserves its very own props with fine or limp haired mavens. I don't know what is in this product. Perhaps unicorns or fairy dust. Whatever it is it makes my hair so beautifully gorgeous and shiny.
As I have mentioned before Ms. Faux has a lot of very fine hair. This product just feels like it strips away all the crap and seals each hair to absolute perfection. It is always so much more manageable and I generally get lots of compliments after having used this product.
Seriously... unicorns and fairy dust.
What is it? According to Sephora.com...
What it is:
An antiaging treatment that works deep beneath the skin's surface to support natural cellular turnover and improve firmness. What it is formulated to do:
This powerful firming formula is comprised of a rich, nourishing texture that works overnight to tighten and reshape facial contours. Skin will appear younger, smoother, and more defined upon waking. This lotion helps prevent the appearance of dark spots and the inclusion of lotus extract brightens the complexion for a healthy face that glows in the morning light.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Phthalates
What else you need to know:
This lotion is dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic.It is ideal for women in their 40s.
What does Ms. Faux think?
I sooooo wanted to dislike this because it is so expensive, but seriously... unicorns and fairy dust. As soon as I put this on my face it was instantly more moisturized without feeling sticky. You know that fresh from the shower feeling? It was sooooooo delightful. It was also scented with the classic floral scent which may be overpowering for some but I found it to be absolutely decadent as I went to bed.
Here's a tip...
What is it? According to Sephora.com
What it is:
An effectively gentle way to deeply cleanse, this refreshing cleansing oil melts impurities and makeup without leaving an oily residue. What it is formulated to do:
This effective formula gently melts impurities and makeup, including waterproof, without leaving an oily residue. It is formulated with antioxidants and botanicals to soothe and protect skin. Hydrangea leaf helps to purify skin and minimize pores, geranium helps invigorate skin while supporting natural circulation, and botanical amino acids leave skin smooth and free of impurities.
What does Ms. Faux think?
Well she can't wait to finish up her MAC cleansing oil and Urban Decay Make Up melt. Why? The smell. This smells so heavenly. Seriously the other two are just as great, but if you find a smell you like, why not go with it. It removed the craziest of eye-makeup. I had on waterproof mascara and super saturated pigments. GONE! No need to rub and it melted everything away.
So there you go. Sample Saturdays.
