Nordstrom Sample Pack (June)

Yours when you spend $125 on Beauty or Fragrance. Enjoy travel-friendly samples from Charlotte Tilbury and Bobbi Brown and Supergoop! and more.

Towards the end of June, Nordstrom came out with x2 more Sample Packs. One, was the Fragrance Sample Pack (dis) which was very enticing! The other was a mix of Makeup and Skincare which wasn’t particularly exciting.

Still, it came with a cool Makeup Bag and a Sheet Mask and deluxe sample of the Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment (in the shade Rosé) and x3 Fragrance Samples, to name a few.

Fragrance

– Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Nectar Eau de Parfum Intense (0.04 oz.)
– Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum (0.04 oz.)

Finally, the good stuff!

Sailing Day: opens up all fresh and aquatic and slightly citrus-y. Kinda’ reminds me of those Deep Cleansing Hand Soaps from Bath & Body Works (I wanna’ say Turquoise Waters). Unfortunately, whenever I sniff Sailing Day (even hours later), the scent chokes me up and makes me cough… a lot. I really, really like the scent, but I kinda’ enjoy breathing more.

Flowerbomb Nectar Intense: opens up sweet, but ends up smelling… dirty. Also, faint chemical-y sunscreen-y scent. All in all, way too strange. Do not like.

Black Opium: sampled earlier, here. At this point, I’m seriously thinking of just going for it.
