          | 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

          | 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.

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.

          | 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.
