Hi,
I'm just coming to end on the products in the trial kit + OMG. They have lasted just under 3 weeks.
I've really liked the following:
X-Trap
Sir Activ (I loved this!)
Youth Accelerator
Dreamweaver
OMG
Sircuit Weapon
But I can't really afford to pay $456 for the full products. This started me thinking, how long would the full size products last? Would it work out a bit cheaper to by the trial kit + OMG for $66.50 again?
The total cost for the full size produts I want would be:
$456
And the for this price I could have bought about 7 trial kits + OMG. They last almost 3 weeks but lets just say 2 weeks for now. The 7 trial kits + OMG would last about 3 1/5 months.
Now I just need to know how long the full price products would last!
Have I been thinking about this too much?!

Pinhead youve just got a job as my accountant! 
I think youve definetly been thinking a little too hard, but I aint gonna blame you if it means shelling out $456. I think I remember willing to sell my kidneys for less than that!
Before I say anything I must ditto your response to Sir Activ - I absolutely adored this and had to buy the full size.
Have you checked their gift sets out? There might be one in there that fits the bill, and if not, I just had a thought - why dont you email Michael letting him know thats what you want, and if he could make that up in a set with a lower price? Hes really accommodating and it doesnt cost anything to try.
If this failed, and if it was me, Id go for the sample set, because if your finances are anything like mine, then $456 in one shot is just taking the mick.
Im sure the products will last ages - especially the dropper bottles - if you use them correctly, you should only be using around 0.5ml/day (this covers am + pm applications) and should last 2-3 months - i think im turning into an accountant now!

First I would like to mention that to purchase the specific items you want in sample form ($58.75) is cheaper than purchasing the sample package and getting products you won't use.
Okay, for certain items it is cheaper to buy the samples, for others it is much cheaper to buy the full size, and yet others the difference is so negligible it doesn't matter!
I did the math on the products you listed, the first number I provide is the cost of the full size product, the second number is the cost of the sample were it the same size as the full product -- for example, the sample of X-trap costs $4.75 and is .5 oz, the full size X-trap is $38 and 4 oz, so I multiplied the cost of the $4.75 sample by 8 in order to reach my 'sample cost'. (note that I figured 28 gms per oz)
X-trap Full Size $38, Samples $38
Sir Active Full Size $48, Samples $145.60
Youth Accelerator Full Size $75, Samples 69.16
Dream Weaver FUll Size $60, Samples $65.52
OMG Full Size $150, Samples $144
Sirctuit Weapon Full Size $85, Samples $88
Sir Active sample is a RIP OFF!!! Buy the full size on this!
It is actually cheaper to buy samples of OMG and Youth Accelerator than to buy the full size bottles.
For all of your other products the full size version is either moderately cheaper or equivalent.
Also, figure in the $8.50 shipping cost for each re-order. (So if you re-order the sample pack 8 times for the same amount of product as the full size jars, that's nearly $60 in excess shipping fees).
I hope this helps! I know I'm a nerd!

Oh, I guess I didn't even answer the poster's original question! Generally, Sircuit Skin full size products last 7-8 times longer than the samples (except for the Sir Activ which lasts 22 times longer).  |

| Wow, interesting numbers on the Sir Active. I've found a similar situation with one of the Diana Yvonne serums (although the difference wasn't that extreme). |
