So Ms. Faux has been back at it, trying some of the most wonderful samples to date. Let's just say all those products today have left Ms. Faux's sking feeling ever so radiant.
#1. #4 Super Comb Prep & Protect $32 at Birchbox.com
What is it? According to Birchbox.com...
As self-confessed blow dryer addicts, we put our hair through a lot of stress. To keep our strands from a styling-induced meltdown, we'’ve been using this extra hydrating leave-in conditioning mist. It doesn’'t just protect hair from heat damage; it also doubles as a color protector and UV shield. The sulfate-free formula sinks in quickly and has a pretty floral scent thanks to white freesia, amber, and musk. Natural conditioners——including black currant, soy yogurt, algae, and yerba mate——combine to restore hydration to dry hair, while the unique UV/Color Polar Shield protects dyed or sun-exposed locks. Soy and vegetable proteins repair damage caused by heat and chemical styling. And don’'t forget about the defrizzing factor——anti-static technology tames flyaways, making hair more manageable and easy to style.
HOW TO USE
After shampooing, wring excess moisture from hair and towel dry. Holding the spray bottle upright, spritz product evenly. Using a wide-toothed comb or your fingers, gently work the product through hair from root to tip. Style as usual.
What does Ms. Faux think?
Well Ms. Faux may have finally found her first Birchbox full size purchase. I will have to say I love this. It isn't heavy which is perfect for Ms. Faux's fine locks and it really does make my hair more manageable. I can't really explain much more than that with what it does for my hair, but Ms. Faux's hair has not looked better since she started using it last Sunday.
What is it? According to Birchbox.com...
W3LL PEOPLE’s all-natural, pro-grade formula, we can take our less-than-fluffy natural lashes to new extremes without subjecting them to harsh chemicals or dyes. The clump-resistant wand lifts and separates lashes, while the nutrient-rich formula coats them with a luxe, glossy black color.
What does Ms. Faux think?
Meh... It's fine. Certainly not worth $23.50. There are much better products in your drugstores. Next product.

What does Ms. Faux think?
It is absolutely beautiful and the finish is the silkiest thing you may ever put on your face. It has gorgeous shimmer and makes your skin look radiant. I also think you are paying a lot of money for a product with this pattern on it...
It's Burberry. It's a princess product. Save your money and pick up Hard Candy's Sheer Glow All the Way, featured in Ms. Faux's Fab Five Friday blog on 10.9.2015 or if you want to still spend less but get a brand name, pick up Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfectors. You will still be paying $41, but you will get more product.

What does Ms. Faux think?
So... come about January Ms. Faux is going to be needing a moisturizer that beats the Chicago winter and low and behold she has found it. This is what it states. It is an aqua bomb. It is like the flood gates were opened on my face. Better yet, it was silky and not sticky. Make up application was a dream. Also I think this product would work just as well in the summer as it simply is like your skin at it's best and not tacky. Belif has found a convert.

What does Ms. Faux think?
Well it was a little hard to gauge after the Belif Aqua Bomb went off on Ms. Faux's face. It is also hard to gauge how something works in one try unless you are the power of that Aqua Bomb. Still Orgins has amazing products and always has. I will say my face has felt the best it has felt in a while. Did this cause the aqua bomb to perform better. Likely. I will also add this was a nice feeling serum and again not sticky like some serums can be.
So that is it for Sample Sunday.
