Is there anything more relaxing than spending a night in, relaxing with a magazine and experimenting with free skincare samples? Err yes, when InStyle magazine is just £2, and the skincare is REN!
After recently moving house and clearing out/losing the majority of all my makeup and skincare products, I decided I would use my empty shelves as a blank canvas and re-build my collection.
Unfortunately, my post-backpacker-bank-balance has been restricting my frivolous spending and encouraging me to become a bit more savvy - which I suppose is actually a good thing. Nowadays I muster the will power to put a product back on the counter, or say no to the pushy sales person. Long story short, I'm appreciating samples more than ever before.
So yes, back to the samples...
I'm throwing my hands up here and admitting that I've never actually tried REN before. It is however, a brand I've longed for - because I'm such a sucker to peer (blogger) pressure - so I can't wait to start using these samples which include; Gentle Cleansing Milk (10ml) and Global Protection Day Cream (10ml) from their Evercalm range, and Active 7 Eye Gel (3ml) from their Vita Mineral range.
What's more is that nestled amongst over 270 glossy pages of fashion edits, style tips and beauty advice, InStyle magazine also includes a double page spread on REN, complete with a 20% discount voucher. Could this be the start of a beautiful relationship?
If you're a fan of REN, feel free to leave a comment below and recommend some of their products for me to try, I'm particularly liking the sound of their Vita Mineral range to keep my skin hydrated and nourished over the coming winter months.
Great post hun, your photography is amazing! I've actually never tried this brand before either... but always hear bloggers talking about it. Would love to know what you think of it :D
