Today's post? What I got in my 500 point Fresh Skincare Sephora perk, aka, the bloody redemption that prevented me from qualifying for some of the totally awesome Epic Rewards by only a few points. But, considering how poorly all that went down, I can't be too disappointed with my choice! I love Fresh products and was really excited to test out products that were new to me, as well as snagging some free deluxe sized samples of some favourites. Off we go!
BOOM, paydirt.
What I got:
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser - 20 ml ($7.60)
This stuff is a staple for sensitive-skin folk like myself. You can't ever go wrong with this delightfully soft and fresh cleanser. This is great for a travel size but it also lasts longer than expected since you don't need THAT much product to work up a good rinse.
Would I buy a full size? Probably! I'll have to finish the MILLION washes I have right now though.
Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask - 20 ml ($21.60)
Ugh, this stuff smells so good and feels so cool and refreshing. This is a lightweight, almost creamy facemask that is unlike any I've ever used before. But while it FEELS great, I'm not too sure what the ultimate long-term results are.
Would I buy a full size? Probably not, as I don't think it's THAT significantly amazing, and I can't cross that $100 threshold for a face mask.
Fresh Rose Face Mask - 20 ml ($14.40)
I had the opportunity to try out this CRAZY EXPENSIVE mask at Sephora a few months ago at a Sephora event and I knew I was in trouble. It left my skin SO refreshed, and SO smooth and I absolutely love the smell of crushed rose petals, so this was a win. I know the smell can be overwhelming, so I wanted to test out the product with a smaller size first.
Would I buy a full size? If there was a good points offer I could see me splurging on this stuff.
Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face Oil - 5 ml ($7.30)
In just two years I went from being a serum/face-oil naysayer to somebody who CAN'T GET ENOUGH. Give me all the oils all over my face please! This stuff is GOOD if you need deep moisture, which is something I need in the winter time but it's currently sitting in the drawer because it's summer. This little bottle is cute and I'll definitely keep it around for when I don't want to travel with my full-size product!
Would I buy a full size? If I EVER finish my current size? Hah!
LOOK at the swirl in that Black Tea mask. I swear, I didn't do it, I literally opened the container and it looked that perfect.
The downside
Most, but not all, of the 500 point perks at Sephora have five items in them, which is basically the equivalent of five 100 point perks. This package only has four, so it's kinda meeeh. But the thing I DID like about this perk was that I pretty much love/wanted to try all four of the items, AND Fresh skincare are rarely available as 100 point perk at Sephora. So that was good enough for me.
Full value? $51. Not bad for a point perk, but not amazing either. That said, considering I've gotten full use out of this kit I definitely recommend it.
Are you a Fresh fan? Would you buy this kit?
