Subject: I got my free samples
Date Posted: October 13 2005 at 2:46pm

I promised in a thread that if I get prompt customer service that I would tell everyone.  Well I went on a free sample spree, one night when I couldn't sleep.

So far I have received perfume samples from http://www.fresh.com - www.fresh.com

hair products from sebastian        &am p;nb sp;         &am p;nb sp;         &am p;nb sp;         &am p;nb sp;         &am p;nb sp;          http://www.Garnierfructis.com - www.Garnierfructis.com

     along with skin  products from http://www.ohava.com - www.ohava.com

I got some more coming..I can't wait. I don't plan to use them until I get them all. Alot of these places have samples on their home page..others u have to ask for directly.

 

Also, there are forums specifically made for those who like sample products...usually a person will add a link  and u go there and get your product. Try doing a search like free sample products

Check out www.culturecare.net The products look interesting and they have free samples.
Sebastian only ships to the continental US so I can't get any samples.

Layla- you might want to put in a search such as this==>  free product samples- virgin islands

with the above search you will find anything free that caters to your location  such as nutritional free stuff like  http://www.lewis-labs.com/AboutOurCompany.htm - http://www.lewis-labs.com/AboutOurCompany.htm  they have free samples to offer...I just asked for one. I'm going crazy with free stuff

Or Free hair product samples- virgin islands

Also, if a company do not have samples on the site...just contact them thru emaiil and ask them about trying their products.

Ok...if you write to Culture they will send u a coupon you can buy any product with the value up to 4.99.  Some walgreens have the products on clearance so you can get more than one product. I received my coupon today.

Also...I received my Caress bodywash...it comes in a travel size bottle. This is where i went to...to get it and other samples.

That just is not right! Everytime there are free samples they are not available to you.  I had to go around the city to find one and they only sold one item from the line. The people at the store told me they were being discontinued.

I got my pureology samples today!  They sent the hydrating shampoo, hydrating reconstructioner and the hydrating conditioner. Even though I did not open samples packages the smell is pretty strong.  It seems to have a medicine/mint smell (not sure how to catergorize it) Since I have all these samples I am waiting to try...I think I might try the great smelling ones in the summer so the smell can "rise" and keep the "not so cool" ones in the winter.

Sorry to bump up this old thread but wanted to let ya'll know I got free samples.  I received both Nexxus and Pureology. Nexxus sent me 2 complete packets..both contained 2 ea. containers of KerapHix, Humectress & Therappe (so I received 6 total!)  From Pureology I got the HydrateShampoo, ReconstructRepair &  HydrateCondition and coupons for purchase of each.

And I received Dove &  Pantene samples of shampoo and conditioner some time ago. Yeah for free stuff!!

Good for you Browneyez...it's ok to bring up this topic.

 

Earthangel...u just have to do a search. Idon't remember them but some sites wouldn't let me get samples unless I was in that country or near by. You can look up the word "freebies" on a search engine be sure to include your location.

Thanx to you cmesweet for supplying the links... I've been on a "free sample" hunt ever since!  I think trying out products b4 buying them is a good practice, that way you'll know what does/doesn't work 4 your hair b4 spending your hard-earned $$$$.

Bath and Body works is presently handing out free samples of O.C. Bigelo products. I saw a tiny tiny sign in the store, so smallthat you would miss it. But u know   me. Anyways, go to the cashier and ask them about it and they should give you 2 packet samples.  Rose silk is one and I can't remember the other.
