yey! Sample Room Loot #3! :) It's so funny that I already have started loot #3 when I haven't posted yet the earlier loots. :D Wonder where is the #1 & #2? Well I kinda forgot to post them last week (which I promised) and only remembered when I received these yesterday in the afternoon then I have those faces *bright eyes with mouth wide open* :D tsk. I'm so forgetful these days, I dunno know why. O.o Anyway, if I have a spare time tomorrow, will surely post it! ;)
In celebration of Earth Day, Sample Room brought us some fresh..and by fresh, I mean "fresh-organic" samples from local brands. Niiceee! Ever since, I really love organic brands and I salute them for making products that are natural and safer to our skin/body. I only have tried organic products from US & Australia (they have TONS!and so effective!) but I've never tried an organic product that's been locally made and I love that I could do that now.
On to my loot!! ;)
I got SoTrue Gigil! Natural Baby Oil, Zenutrients Natural Therapy and Zenutrients Ginger RX Balm.
Zenutrients Ginger RX Balm
Sample: 20g
Full size: 50g - PhP225
From Sample Room: Reduces stress, soothes away tension, relieves aches & helps blood circulation. Ginseng has been used for centuries to heal, relieve & promote well-being.
Direction for use: Massage to temples, chest and back to help alleviate symptoms of headaches, colds and cough.
Okay you might think it's weird but when I opened and smelled this balm, the first thing that came to my mind is "SUMAN/BUDBOD".LOL.
For those who don't know what Suman is, here's a short info from our friend Wikipedia:
Suman is a rice cake originating from the Philippines. It is made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk, and often steamed wrapped in buli or buri palm (Corypha) leaves. It is usually eaten sprinkled with sugar. Suman is also known as budbod in the Visayan languages which dominate the southern half of the country.

Sorry guys, I just had to post that. yum! haha! Anyway, yeah that maybe your first impression too! Weird right? Well, maybe it's because the main ingredient of this balm is a Native Philippine Ginger which is also one of the main ingredients/spices in the Suman recipe. ;) But after awhile, you get this cooling therapeutic scent that's really relaxing. But the scent and the cooling effect is not too strong though which I like. I just want that mild soothing scent enough for me to have a good sleep. :) One more thing, I like that besides its lid, it also has a plastic cover before you get to the content of the jar.
But guys, I'm telling you..after smelling this, I craved for Suman! haha!
SoTrue Gigil! Natural Baby Oil
Sample: 20ml
Full size: 100ml - PhP250
From Sample Room: Gigil is a Filipino term for that feeling you get when you see a sweet little baby and can't help but give him or her a kiss!
Get gigil-inducing skin with this lavender-scented, non-greasy and easily absorbed sunflower oil that is perfect for moisturizing babies of any age from head to toe!
Lookie lookie! :D I applied little amount to my hand as you can see in above photo. It indeed moisturized my skin but I had to apply a little more to get that "gigil" feel of my skin.lol..But I don't know..maybe I'm just having a dry skin these days because of the super hot weather! urgh! Guess I'm really gonna need this! ;) oh and yes! It's non greasy. :) The smell is nice too!
Zenutrients Natural Therapy
Sample: 10ml
Full size: 10ml - PhP125
From Sample Room: Soothe away headaches, dizziness, coughs & colds with this blend of eucalyptus, lemongrass & peppermint, just rub on affected area, and breathe deeply to begin the healing.
To use: Massage onto affected area as needed. Safe for children.
Eucalyptus+lemongrass+peppermint!wow! Now that's what you call therapy! :D I think this one has the strongest scent among the three. And this one is my kind of "great for body massage" scent. If you know what I mean. ;) I know this is more on a "massage on affected area" only but I like having it all over my body before going to bed. It's just so relaxiinngg.. uhmmmm.....I wanna share more thoughts about this but I'll be having a massage in a bit..ah yeah I gotta go..I gotta gooo :D ;)
