Always Within Reach

 

I love samples. 

With all my sensitivities, they allow me to try a new product without committing to a sale that might not be beneficial to me in the long run. 

I particularly liked the Le Baume sample Dior Beauty Ambassador EJ gave me. (I showed that in Used to the Last Drop in this issue.)

And of course, where else would I try it on first than 👉🏼 

My hands.

Yes, they’re still dry.

Sometimes very dry. 

I tried the sample one afternoon while I was working on Issue 02: Beautiful Things. 

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

First, no strong smell. 

I liked that. 

Second, the product is absorbed by my hands fairly easily. 

I don’t have to spend 5 minutes rubbing my hands for the product to be absorbed. 

Time-saver. ✅

Comes in a cute, compact case? Yes, please! (Although I was told this was a limited edition case.)

I can wear it to sleep. 

And that’s a big deal for me because most of my day products don’t work on me at night. I react to them. 

I don’t react with Le Baume. 

You can apply Le Baume practically anywhere, even on the lips, but I prefer to use it on dry spots like my hands. 

Especially my hands. 

And clearly, the sample did its job.

Le Baume is now something I like keeping close, ready whenever my skin needs it.

Sometimes, the smallest discoveries become the easiest things to make room for.
