Sample Sized: Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask



Learning that iPhone photos are not the way to go for blogging! Darn!


Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2014 is treating you well so far. I certainly can't complain!

This is the first of a series of posts I'll be writing called "Sample Sized." Basically, I have a TON of product samples laying around just begging to be tried out. After I've used up a sample completely, I'll make a short post about it to let you know what I think!

This sample in particular has not been used up completely yet (look at me breaking my own rules already!) but it has been such a lifesaver for my skin that I couldn't wait to write about it. Before I went home to Fort Frances for the holidays, I redeemed some VIB Rouge points at Sephora for the "Most Wanted Moisture" box, which contains 4 deluxe moisturizing product samples from Clinique. The weather there was very cold and very dry, and combined with the stress I'd been experiencing leading up to holiday time, my skin had a huge freak out. I was breaking out in zits AND painful dry patches, it was like hell had manifested itself on my face! Luckily I had brought my new Clinique samples along with me, one of which was this mask.

My zit struggle is a constant, but this overnight mask really helped to calm down my dry patches. More of a thick moisturizer than a typical mask, this has a beautiful buttery texture that seems to melt into the skin. You don't rinse this mask off, instead you let it work it's magic while you sleep. It's unscented, which is great for those with sensitive skin. After using this, I wake up with visibly hydrated and smooth skin, and dry areas clear quickly. I really love this product and will be purchasing the full size once my sample runs out!
