Week 1 check-in | Sample Swag September

This week is the first week of Sample Swag September, a personal challenge to myself to eliminate all of my stash by the end of the month. That might be a pretty lofty goal, so I'll be content if I even get it down to 1/3 of what it used to be.

This week's lineup is from IOPE, a brand under the Amore Pacific mega brand, with a mask from Innisfree in there for fun.

Week 1 | Sample Swag September

This week is the start of a wonderful month! Up this week are several samples from IOPE, a Korean brand under the large Amore Pacific corporate umbrella.

Sample Swag September: A month of tester skin care

I love samples. It's an awesome way to try things out and I often find something I really, really love.

I wish all beauty shops made giving samples a regular event, like most Korean beauty shops.

I'm talking to you, Sephora. I remember when you used to give samples out like candy, way before the VIB reward system was a thing!

I miss those times.
