Haul: Cosme Decorte Moisture Liposome Sample Gift

Following the running out the sample set for the White-Science Premium skincare range, there is a different sample set from Cosme Decorte available at Kinokuniya Main Store with the purchase of a copy of L'officiel Singapore Magazine.

This set that is available for redemption is a mixture of the different skincare range, it contains items from the Moisture Liposome range (hydration), Whitelogist range as well as from the AQ range.

The previous sample set appears to be more complete in the sense that most of them are from the same skincare range White-Science Premium , only the spots concentration is from Whitelogist.

The current sample set that is available.

6 piece sample set from the Moisture Liposome, Whitelogist and AQ range.

There are 6 sachets of 1.0ml Moisture Liposome Essence-a total of 6.0ml.

Best before Mar 2012.

The generous sample of Whitelogist Day Advanced SPF12 PA++ 9.oml.

The AQ Nutritive Cream which is a rich night cream for hydration and radiance of the skin.

A generous sample of 10.0ml.

The Moisture Liposome cream 6.og, should be lightweight in texture.

The AQ Gentle Pure Washing Foam- suppose to enhance skin's resilience.

A generous 18.0ml sample too.

The AQ Powder foundation Meliority in # 301.

Standard packaging for powder foundation sample (with a small piece of sponge attached).

The tone of the powder foundation is slightly lighter than the #302, hence too light for me too.

It seems to me that the current sample set that the magazine is giving away is a mixture of Cosme Decorte's range which might be an attempt to let people to try more of their range.

One thing to note, though not a major concern is that the "Best Before" date for this set varies from year 2012 to year 2015, so for those who are planning to use it as a travel set or to try out the set in the future might need to note the dates. But of course, since they are sample sets, one can easily use up the products in no time.

I would say, a great opportunity to try out premium skincare range nevertheless.

The last time i heard this sample set is running out fast too especially since Kinokuniya is having their members' sale till the 16th of March (this coming Wednesday), i won't count on it to remain on the shelves for too long.

Grab the chance to try it out if you can!

Update as of 15th March 2011, the Cosme Decorte Moisture Liposome sample set is still available at Kinokuniya Main Store.

Haul: Cosme Decorte White-Science Premium sample gift

Got to know from a friend that L'officiel Singapore is giving away Cosme Decorte White-Science Premium sample set from every purchase of their magazine (while stocks last) at Kinokuniya Bookstore. I managed to snag a set in the afternoon yesterday and there seems to be quite a number copies of magazines available when i left the place.

Cosme Decorte is a Japanese Premium skincare and cosmetic line which is under the Kose (brands like Fasio, Esprique Precious, Beaute de Kose, Nature & Co, etc are also under Kose). If i do recall correctly, Taiwanese host Matilda Tao is the spokeswoman for Cosme Decorte.

Being a Japanese Premium line (which spells $$$ to me), its range of skincare products are mostly targeted at whitening, hydration and anti-aging or anti-wrinkle, i wasn't very keen to commit to the products (considering the prices range from approximately S$90 for a cleanser and onwards for the rest of the range).

This sample set gift with purchase of a magazine is a good way to allow people who are intimidated by the startling pricing of the line and yet are interested to find out if it is as good as it claimed that it is as well as people who are have phobia approaching the counters (i was one and still is under some circumstances) lest they be approached by overzealous beauty advisors and felt pressurized to buy products that they are not convinced will work for them.

Now, this sample set i would say is a generous one.... scroll down and you will know what i mean : )

7 piece sample set from the Premium White-Science range.

Crystal Tenor - the whitening lotion (there are 2 types, refreshing and rich sensations).

There are 6 packets of the 3.0ml Crystal Tenor- a total of 18.0ml.

White Lift Powder Foundation with SPF 20 PA++ in #302.

There is a small square of sponge provided (but i prefer to use my own).

# 302 is about 2 skintone too fair for me, might suit someone who is matched 2nd or 3rd shade for foundation.

White-Science Premium Cleansing Cream.

Should be sufficient for a one time usage.

White-Science Premium White Protection with SPF 28 PA ++ (why SPF 28? i wonder).

A generous 10ml or 0.33oz.

White-Science Premium Revolution- whitening, clarifying and anti-aging emulsion.

The washing cream.

From the Whitelogist line -Whitelogist Spots Concentration that contains Koiji Acid.

All in all, i am quite excited at trying some of the products especially the Whitelogist Spots Concentration (suppressing melanin production and prevents dark spots as well as freckles from forming) which contains Koiji Acid (for brighter skin), the White-Science Premium Revolution and the White-Science Premium White Protection with SPF 28 PA++.

All the samples will only be expired in 2014 ( i gather they are really fresh not stale stuffs that cosmetic company want to get rid of).
