Review: 1-Day Acuvue Define Contact Lens (Natural Shine)

Four months later, I finally have time to make this post! Or more like, to take the photos that I need for this post. A bit of a stretch from my usual posts on this blog since this isn't exactly skincare, but these contact lenses are cosmetic in that they enlarge the appearance of your iris. I've also tried another product from the same line, the Acuvue Define Vivid, and you can find my review of that here.

Review: History of Whoo Gongjinhyang Foam Cleanser

I've been trying a lot of cleansers lately and I've started to realize that my usual Morning Routine cleanser, Skinfood Egg White Pore Foam, may not be as great as I had originally imagined. I mean, it works well and prevents me from getting pimples but I find that I have to wash it off multiple times to prevent any residue on my face. I've read that History of Whoo cleansers are known for giving your face a very refreshed and clean feeling without stripping all the moisture from your face. My first History of Whoo cleanser was from the History of Whoo Seol Whitening line, which did make my face feel refreshed but didn't stop my pores from enlarging when I was trying other products from the same line. Let's hope this one gives me better results!

Review: History of Whoo Jinyul Eye Cream

I bought a bunch of eye creams from History of Whoo and Sulwhasoo during my GMarket haul. I tried the History of Whoo Hwanyu Eye Cream last month, went back to my normal routine eye creams  Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream and The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Eye Cream, and then proceeded to try this out.

Review: HERA White Program Biogenic Cream

This is my second product from HERA. Surprisingly, both products are from the same White Program line, which is for whitening. I've actually never come across HERA until getting a complimentary sample of HERA White Program Biogenic Effector. But it's endorsed by Shim Min Ah (a famous Korean actress) so although it may not be as high end as Sulwhasoo or History of Whoo, it's definitely higher end than Skinfood, Etude House, etc.

Review: Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Whitening Line

After trying out History of Whoo Seol Whitening line (I've separated my review for the CC Sun Cream from the same line here), I switched to try out its biggest competititor, Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Whitening Line. I used it for a month. Reading reviews, I've heard better things from History of Whoo, but personally I've had better success with Sulwhasoo products so I still wanted to give it a try. Last year I experimented with my own made up combination of Hadalabo Shirojyun Whitening Essence and The Saem Chaga White Liposome Biocellulose Sheet, which worked, but I'm always into trying new products, especially whitening products. Give me my white pearly skin!

I actually tried out the Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Whitening Eye Treatment first before I tried the rest of the line so I've posted a separate review of that here.

Review: History of Whoo Hwanyu Eye Cream

This eye cream is from The History of Whoo's most expensive line, Hwanyu. I've seen it range from $320 on amazon to $400 on beclo.com for 25ml. The Hwanyu line has three products (that I know of/have samples available to buy): Hwanyu essence, cream, and eye cream. I bought the essence and cream as well but gave them to my mom since I think she will be a better judge of how effective those products are. I split the eye cream with her because my eyes look, unfortunately, older than my age. I've got dark circles that look like I pulled an all-nighter when I actually slept a full 8 hours, and fine lines under my eyes that will just never go away and crease when I put Skinfood Salmon Dark Circle Concealer Cream on.

My dark circles have improved with Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream and Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream. The fine lines have improved with The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Eye Cream (and a little bit from Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream). But alas, it's not enough! After a long day I can see those fine lines returning and sometimes when I don't put enough or forget to put on The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Eye Cream for a few days, the fine lines return like nothing ever happened. So I thought perhaps if I bought a super expensive cream like this, that it would actually fix and get rid of my fine lines? Forever? I mean why else would you pay for a $400 25ml eye cream?

My Night Skincare Routine

And here is my night skincare routine. For those who are interested in my morning skincare routine, you can check that post out here. Basically, in this post I'll be talking about the skincare products I use at night and summarize how the product is effective for me. If you're interested in getting more details or to look at the product description, I've already written a separate review for each of these products and I will provide their respective links below.

And if you're wondering...the green elephant at the bottom of the photo is to hold the yellow sample up :D

I should mention that this is my skincare routine during fall, winter, and spring. During summer, I need to use a whitening line to try to revert my tanned skin back to its original color so my night routine is totally different.

Before I delve into my routine, let me tell you a little bit about my skin as these products are targeted towards my skin's problems. I have oily/combination skin and large pores. If I ignore my large pores, 2-3 of them like to transform into pimples especially when it is that time of the month. In addition to the pores on my cheek area, I have some dark pigmentation and little bumps from the crazy acne I had 3 years ago. My skin color is very dull and has this jaundiced, unhealthy yellow tan. I also have very dark circles under my eyes and many fine lines under my eyes. As a result, my eyes look much older than the rest of my face.

My Morning Skincare Routine

It's finally here! For those who have commented on my blog and asked me to write a post about my daily skin routine, I apologize for the wait but thank you for your patience! Basically, in this post I'll be talking about the skincare products I use every morning and summarize how the product is effective for me. If you're interested in getting more details or to look at the product description, I've already written a separate review for each of these products and I will provide their respective links below.

For those who read the title of this post, yes, I'm gonna split my morning and night routine into two posts because they are quite different and putting them together would be too messy. I'll probably do my night skincare routine next week.

Review: History of Whoo Seol Whitening Line

After 40 days, I'm finally finished trying out the History of Whoo Seol Whitening line (I've separated my review for the CC Sun Cream from the same line here). My skin gets tanned very easily even when I put on sunscreen so every summer I absolutely have to use a whitening line or else I look like potato skin when class starts. Last year I experimented with my own made up combination of Hadalabo Shirojyun Whitening Essence and The Saem Chaga White Liposome Biocellulose Sheet, which worked, but I've been hearing great things about History of Whoo's whitening line so I thought I'd give it a try. Since I'm reviewing a whole line this time I'm going to change the formatting of this post a bit.

Review: History of Whoo Whitening CC Sun Cream SPF46 PA++

I have actually been trying the History of Whoo White Seol line for some time now. I'm almost done my samples so I'll be making a review soon about the whole line but meanwhile I was given these 2 samples and I've tried them already so I thought I might as well write a review now.

CC cream is apparently the new fad after BB cream. CC stands for complete care (I think). I always found it hard to find the right BB cream for me because my skin isn't exactly pale and most of the BB creams (even at their darkest color) is too light for me. For this reason, I never planned on buying any CC cream since I thought it'd just be the same thing but I got this for free so might as well try them!

Review: Sulwhasoo Snowise Ex Whitening Eye Treatment

My second Sulwhasoo eye cream. This is from their Snowise line, which is their whitening line. Now, the whitening for eyes is a bit different than the usual whitening for the face. The whitening for the face is for tan lines, but the whitening for the eyes that I'm looking for is to "whiten" my dark circles. I'm actually trying The History of Whoo's whitening line right now, but unfortunately they don't have an eye cream from that line, so I decided to try out Sulwhasoo's instead.

If I were to summarize my eye creams until now, for my dark circles, Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream has been the most effective (doesn't remove it completely of course..for details you can read my review here).

Review: 1-Day Acuvue Define Contact Lens (Vivid style)

Yes, you read correctly, these are contact lenses. A bit of a stretch from my usual posts on this blog since this isn't exactly skincare, but these contact lenses are cosmetic in that they enlarge the appearance of your iris. Before I purchased these, I read some reviews and all said that these contact lenses felt the same as usual contact lenses, like you had nothing in your eye. But I had a slightly different experience so I thought I'd write a review.

Review: Innisfree Eco Safety Aqua Sun Gel SPF 30 PA++

This is the second sunscreen I bought this summer to try. My first one was the full version of Missha All Around Safe-Block Mild Sun Milk but I got a few red bumps right below my nose recently so I thought might as well give my face a "break" and try out the sunscreen from Innisfree since this brand is known for the "6-free" (as shown on the box in the picture): free of paraben, talc, artificial colors, animal derivatives, mineral oil, and artificial fragrances.

Review: History of Whoo Qi & Jin Essence

I actually bought this essence by mistake. I wanted to buy History of Whoo Qi & Jin Eye Cream but ended up buying this essence instead. And I didn't get around to using it until now. I've only tried 3 products (including this one) from this brand so far, the last one being History of Whoo Hwa Hyun Cream which wasn't too impressive. But clearly that didn't influence me because I just bought 14 different samples from History of Whoo today!

Review: The Saem Chaga White Liposome Boosting Toner

The Saem is one of the lesser known cosmetic brands in Korea. Its major celebrity endorser is IU. For those who follow korean music will know that IU is a relatively newcomer compared to BoA, who endorses for Missha. In any case, when I first went to Korea last year, I tried out The Saem Cell Renew Snail Snake EGF all-in-one mask and was thoroughly impressed so I bought tons of it. I've also previously tried The Saem Chaga White Liposome Biocellulose Whitening Mask which also uses the Chaga white liposome technology and along with Hadalabo Shirojyun Arbutin Whitening I felt that they helped whiten my skin last summer. So when I got this sample, I had high hopes.

Review: OHUI White Extreme Cellshine Essence

This was another sample that I got when I purchased Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream samples. OHUI is another high end brand and it's the first time I'm trying a product from OHUI. This costs $120 for 45ml so I would think it is more expensive than HERA and around the same price range as Sulwhasoo and History of Whoo.

Review: HERA White Program Biogenic Effector

The grass is always greener on the other side. I tan easily. So when it comes to summer, I simply need to be standing outside for a few hours and the next day I'm tanned. So then it's only expected that I try every way to keep myself as untanned as possible. I've been using Missha All Around Safe-Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF45 PA++ for the past month or so after getting back from vacation. For whitening, I usually use Hadalabo Shirojyun Arbutin Whitening Essence which has been the most effective for me so far for whitening after tanned skin. But I guess like everybody else, I'm always curious to see if there is something better, cheaper, more efficient out there. So when I got this sample I was looking forward to trying it!

Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Cleansing Cream

The pin is for size comparison because this photo makes this tub look small. This is a cleansing cream for removing makeup. I actually bought this back in January but didn't get a chance to use it until when I went on vacation in June because I don't usually put foundation on (I usually only put on eye makeup which I remove with Skinfood Milk Shake Point Makeup Remover).

Review: History of Whoo Hwa Hyun Cream

I think I got this sample when I bought 60 samples of Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream. I hadn't had much experience with higher-end brand Korean cosmetics, except for the eye cream I just mentioned and History of Whoo Qi & Jin Eye Cream. I don't have visibly aging skin yet, but I can definitely see fine lines on my forehead which become wrinkly when I'm frowning.

Review: Sulwhasoo Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream

My 12th eye cream since starting this blog! Who knew finding an eye cream for my dark circles and under eye fine lines would be this hard. Good thing most Korean products have samples that I can buy so I can try so many without being broke.

If I were to summarize my eye creams until now, for my dark circles, Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream has been the most effective (doesn't remove it completely of course..for details you can read my review here). For fine lines, nothing has really helped consistently. The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Eye Cream has been the most effective, but I have recently realized that the sample I've tried may have been just the normal face cream and not the eye cream (lost in translation).... I have since bought the full size of the eye cream which I will be trying next. That's when I started thinking maybe Skinfood's relatively inexpensive eye creams are not strong enough for my aging eyes (sad, I know) and that I needed to explore the higher-end brands like History of Whoo and this one, Sulwhasoo.

Review: Missha Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam

I've tried another cleanser from the same Super Aqua line, Missha Super Aqua Oxygen Micro Visible Deep Cleanser, and was very impressed with its truly "deep" cleansing compared to the other cleansers (details in my blog post here). However, the only problem was that you needed to wait for this cleanser to bubble, which is impossible for me because I'm always in a hurry in the morning. So when I got this sample with one of my orders, I thought, maybe this will give me the deep cleansing without the wait time?!

I'm back (from exams and vacation)!

First of all, many apologies for not replying to your comments. I finished exams and got on a plane the day after. I think I've replied to all those who asked me a question, so if you're still checking this blog, please check. If I haven't replied you, please let me know.

This is a photo I took when I went on vacation.. I wonder if anyone who reads this has been here too? I went there with absolutely no expectations and didn't research much because I had exams but was absolutely blown away. It's a beautiful place.

Meanwhile, while I was gone I made two orders while I was on vacation and was lucky enough to get a bunch of samples. Since school is out I'll have more time to try and review them here. I've just finished using one today and I'll be trying them each one by one so stay tuned!

Review: Etude House Be Clear Moisturizer SPF30 PA++

Finals are coming up so I will be in hibernation, but before that I thought I'd make this post. I've been looking more into moisturizers with SPF because summer is coming along and I don't want to get tanned. I have oily/combination skin, so I really want something light. Last summer, when I went to Asia for a little more than a month, I tried Hadalabo Shirojyun Arbutin Whitening UV Milk SPF20 which didn't really live up to its "milk" name because it was pretty greasy and made my face pretty oily after several hours. I got a sample of the Skinfood Gold Kiwi No Sebum Matte, which was on the other extreme, because it felt like I was putting white flour on my face.

Review: History of Whoo Qi & Jin Eye Cream (anti-wrinkle)

It's almost been a month since my last post. School has been getting busy lately and my face has been getting hypersensitive, which I'm assuming is triggered by hay fever. As a result, I get little red bumps to everything I put on my face. So I won't be trying any samples on my face until this is gone. Meanwhile, I have my first higher end eye cream...sample. According to my blog, I've tried 10 eye creams so far, and while Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream has helped with my dark circles, nothing has really helped the fine lines under my eyes. The exception is with my most recent sample, The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Eye Cream, but I bought this eye sample around the same time I bought The Face Shop's.

Review: It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector with Vitamin C Derivatives

I first came across the best-selling line from It's Skin, the Power 10 Formula when I got samples of It's Skin Power 10 Formula CO Effector with Phyto Collagen. It's a line of different ampules, each targeting a specific skin problem. CO stands for collagen and helped to firm up the skin. I got pretty impressive results, not really in terms of skin firming because I don't think my skin has started sagging yet, but my skin looked pretty resilient, bright, and smooth. So I decided to buy the whole version and got this sample for free from my purchase. This one, VC effector, contains vitamin C to help brighten the skin.

Review: The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Eye Cream

Samples I bought back in March 2013

This was an unexpected find. I've never tried much of The Face Shop's products. The only one that sticks out in my mind is The Face Shop Raspberry Lines & Lift Collagen Eye Patch which works wonders for the fine lines under my eyes. But the effects are only sustained if I use it almost everyday, which is impossible logistically (I have to put it up really close to my eye and leave it there for 30-45 minutes) and economically (these patches are $3 each?).

I say this was an unexpected find because when I was ordering online I could add one more sample and yet have the same shipping cost, so I just decided to randomly choose an eye cream sample and ended up with this one. And it ended up being my best eye cream for fine lines so far!

Review: Mizon Multi Function Formula All In One Snail Repair Cream

I've used tons of snails products, but most of them are masks. This is actually only my second snail cream. Mainly because the first one was so great already. My first snail cream was Missha Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream, which worked wonders for me. In essence, it evens out my skin tone, calms the redness under my cheeks where I had a lot of acne scars, and brightens my whole face making it look like I got 12 hours of sleep. I can put it even over a pimple when I get one or two during that time of the month and it won't break out.

Paradoxically, however, one of the two problems that I have with Missha's snail cream is that it makes my face way too oily. When I put this cream on during the day, if I'm not careful and I keep touching my face, the oiliness WILL turn into a pimple. So to keep using this cream and not break out into pimples, I've been using Etude House Goodbye Pore Ever Pore Primer Essence for sebum control during the day.

My second problem was with the price. It's $39.99 on Missha's Canadian website for 47g of cream. $33 on eBay. Not exactly cheap. Mizon's snail cream is $20 for 75g on eBay! Half the price for 28g more cream!

Review: Skinfood Lemon Tea Salt Mask Foam

I was sick for the latter part of last week so I didn't get much blogging done on the weekend. But after sleeping 17 hours out of a possible 24 hours (by skipping class ha ha ha...), I feel much better so here I am! I usually don't buy things I haven't tried before in full size. The reason I made this an exception was because I've had great success with Skinfood's Black Sugar Scrub Foam, and somehow I thought that since the sugar worked so well, maybe salt would work just as well if not better! Yes, it makes no sense..I know.

Review: It's Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis

This sample is apparently a limited edition of their Power 10 Formula line. I got this and It's Skin Power 10 Formula CO Effector with Phyto Collagen as samples when I bought It's Skin Prestige Creme Hand D'Escargot back when I went to Korea for the summer. The snail hand cream was a dud unfortunately but It's Skin Power 10 Formula CO Effector with Phyto Collagen was impressive enough for me to go venture into GMarket for the first time and buy the full size along with another product from the same line for sebum control (will review once I get to trying it).

Review: Etude House Collagen Moistfull Firming Eye Cream

I wonder how much money I've spent on eye cream samples so far. Probably enough to buy a jar of nice Shiseido eye cream! Nothing seems to work very well except for Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream, which I bought a full jar of because there were no samples. Yes, this is my attitude these days when I try new eye creams these days. I actually never thought I'd try this eye cream but I've read reviews and they haven't been that great. But I saw it on eBay for $2 including shipping so I thought, well, why not? Fortunately, this time I was pleasantly surprised.

Review: Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask with scoria and green complex

I've been wanting to try this clay mask for a long time. I've heard lots of reviews about it being great and I've always wondered how it compared to my favorite clay mask, Origins Active Charcoal Mask at clearing my pores, brightening my face and preventing breakouts. I was lucky enough to find it at a reasonable price on eBay a few months ago so I purchased it! 

Review: It's Skin Power 10 Formula CO Effector with Phyto Collagen

I got this as a sample when I bought It's Skin Prestige Creme Hand D'Escargot back when I went to Korea for the summer. The snail hand cream was a dud unfortunately but the salesperson gave me two samples of this. Since my first impression of It's Skin was damaged by the hand cream, it took me awhile before I decided to give this one a try. But good thing I did!

Review: Skinfood Gold Caviar Lifting Eye Serum (wrinkle care)

The winter weather and indoor heating are making my under eyes really dry. I've been trying eye cream samples in succession, with the most recent being IOPE V-Fit Lift Eye Cream for the fine lines under my eyes, but it wasn't moisturizing enough. So my eyes have just been getting progressively drier and drier. Even when I went back to using Skinfood Gold Caviar Collagen Eye Cream as an attempt to save my under eyes, which worked for me before in the summer, did barely nothing this time around during the winter! So I decided to give this one a try since I bought it a few months ago anyways.

Review: Nature Republic Aqua Collagen Solution Marine Hydro Gel Eye Patch

Third eye mask review! I just did one yesterday for Nature Republic Snaytox Hydrogel Eye Patch, where I found that there wasn't much essence left in the patch. Not sure if it just evaporated or if there was just not much to begin with, but to be on the safe side I decided I might as well use this one too before it gets any drier. I was first exposed to the whole eye mask thing when I went to Korea last summer. I bought the immensely popular The Face Shop Raspberry Lines & Lift Raspberry Collagen Eye Patch, which were sold in packs of 200 and 300 in the stores there!

The criteria I have for eye masks is similar to sheet masks. First is, of course, effectiveness. Second is whether or not it can stick on my under eye and feel comfortable (or even better, I don't feel it being on my under eye after awhile). This is because I don't have the patience nor the time to sit there for 30-40 minutes. I need to be doing something while I put on this mask and if I need to fix it every minute because it's falling off my under eye then that's an instant fail. Third is whether or not it absorbs. If I don't feel a difference in the wetness of the sheet mask after 30 minutes.. then there is a problem with the compatibility of the mask with my under eye.

Review: Nature Republic Snaytox Hydrogel Eye Patch

Second eye mask review! I admit, I don't use eye masks very often because I have to put them right up against my lower eyelid because that's where my fine lines are and it's not the most comfortable thing to keep on for 30-40 minutes. I was first exposed to the whole eye mask thing when I went to Korea last summer. I bought the immensely popular The Face Shop Raspberry Lines & Lift Raspberry Collagen Eye Patch, which were sold in packs of 200 and 300 in the stores I went to in Korea!

Review: Missha Dong Baek Gold Shampoo

Excuse the bad photo with my stuffed animal in the background..forgot to take a proper photo before I ripped it open. I got this as a complimentary sample. Didn't know Missha had hair products, but not surprised since Korean cosmetic brands seem to have a product for any part of your body. Dong Baek means camellia according to Missha's US website. According to wiki, camellia oil is commonly used in hair care. In Japan, high grade Japanese camellia oil is called tsubaki oil. I guess that's where the Shiseido Tsubaki comes from.

Review: Missha Super Aqua Oxygen Micro Visible Deep Cleanser

This was the second and last complimentary sample I got from buying my Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil Refill. The first one was my previous post, Missha Time Revolution Immortal Youth Cream. I think this is the first time where I've gotten 2 samples where both actually wow me enough to consider buying the full product. Usually at least one of them is going to be some inconsequential hydrating fluid or aqua base cream that only moisturizes my skin (if only that was the only problem on my face)! And to think that I got these 2 great samples from buying a $4 eyebrow pencil refill!

Review: Missha Time Revolution Immortal Youth Cream

I got this as a complimentary sample from buying my Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil Refill. I used it yesterday and I only looked it up a few minutes ago to realized how expensive this cream is. Very grateful that I got this as a free sample!

Review: Etude House Collagen Moistfull Cream

Oops! As you can see in the photo, I only remembered that I didn't take a photo after I used it.. This was a complimentary sample from one of my internet purchases (too many, forgot which one already -_-). I've already tried the Etude House Collagen Moistful Enriched Cream at night so this time I tried using this cream during the day.

Review: Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil #5 Gray

I previously bought Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil #1 Black Brown and I was curious to try other colors. I decided to be courageous and buy the #5 gray color. Not the dark gray, but gray. I was a bit scared it might not turn out well so I decided to be safe and just buy the refill, which is cheaper. 

Review: Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Hair Treatment with Tsubaki Oil EX

I don't know if it's the indoor heating, the weather, the new hairstylist, the whatever, but my hair has been getting dryer and more frizzy since October. I've tried the Asience Inner Rich Hair Treatment before which came in a package along with the Asience shampoo and conditioner. I also bought a Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner package which came with this hair treatment. 

Review: Etude House Wonder Pore Clay Clear Pack/Mask

I've tried two products from the Etude House Wonder Pore product line so far: Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner toner and Etude House Goodbye Pore Ever Pore Primer Essence. Both have exceeded my expectations and are now added into my daily routine. Seeing the great success I've had, I'm definitely going to try the rest of this line! That's why I decided to buy samples of their pore clay mask. 

Review: Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum

Probably one of the most, if not THE most, reviewed Skinfood skincare product out there. I think this product was the first Skinfood product I tried 3-4 years ago. I actually bought the whole bottle back then because I didn't think of buying samples. I debated whether I should even bother writing a review since there are probably 3459393450 other posts you can check out. Most of them were raving reviews (which largely influenced me to buy this product back then) but my actual experience with this was slightly contrary so that's why I thought I'd write a review myself. Which will also partly explain why I am buying samples instead of a whole bottle as my second purchase of this product.

Review: TonyMoly Clean Drew Broccoli Sprout Cleansing Cream

This is a cleansing cream for removing makeup. I haven't had a chance to use this cleansing cream until now because I haven't been putting foundation on my face (I usually only put on eye makeup which I remove with Skinfood Milk Shake Point Makeup Remover) until Christmas holidays and all those Christmas dinner parties!

Review: Skin79 BB Cleanser

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a great 2013 :)

Christmas holidays, with dress-up dinner parties, are one of the few times where I put foundation on. I've had this sample for awhile now...but I never used my BB cream foundation until this winter holiday. And what better chance to try out this sample than now.
