Sample Mail!

I'm behind on everything, so I'm breaking today's regular post into 2. If you saw my posts on Facebook, and my earlier blog post, you'll know today was a pretty good day for me! I won 1 Deborah Lippmann nail polish, and Clear Dri antiperspirant. I also got some great Sample mail!

Friday I received mail from o.b. It looks like this promotion has ended, but I wanted to warn those of you who may not have received yours yet. I opened my package, then discovered there was a coupon behind the case so when I opened the package, I ripped the coupon clear in half :/ That being said, the case itself is really cute, and I'll definitely be reusing it. I never use tampons, so trying these out will be... different.



Today I received my Always Tampax radiant sample. I'm really excited about this one and unfortunately this one is over, too. It includes a small purse, 1 scented pad, 3 unscented daily liners, 2 unscented tampons and 2 coupons. I have to add that this is the first thing I've received from Vocalpoint.com so even though this is the only sample I've encountered from that at all in the 2 months I've been a member... I'm happy! Not much more to add about these, since the products are new but I do have to say the purse is super cute! It's not as well made as my Target Spring Beauty bag, but it is a little bit larger.

Lastly, I received my Invisible Glass Wipe sample. This promotion is still available! Truth be told, I have no idea what I'm going to do with my sample, but I'm sure I'll figure it out ;)

So here's what I got: 2 wipes sample, 2 rebate coupons for $2, plus 3 coupons: $5 off orders over $40, $6 off Reach & Clean and another $2 rebate. The last 3 coupons were attached to a magnet. I'm excited about the magnet, I wasn't expecting that! (Yes, I know... I get excited over the silliest and simplest of things.)

Just a few more comments in regards to a few products I've tried these past few days, and then I'll wrap this up.

First up, I haven't tried it yet, but I was looking at my samples and discovered Metamucil contains Aspartame. I was not happy when I discovered this. I'll try the samples, but I definitely won't be buying the product. Aspartame can cause a lot of damage to your body! I also recently bought Dannon Light & Fit yogurt in a 10/$5 sale. Again, Aspartame. The flavors are awesome, and I love Dannon yogurt but I won't be being Light & Fit again, ever. I need to pay better attention to the labels on new products before I buy them. I'm pretty bummed about the yogurt; the strawberry cheesecake really does taste like cheesecake, and the key lime yogurt is soooo good! I should have known by the fewer calories that these were a 'no, no' item however. Ah well.

Last night we took a walk to our local Walmart and yes I looked at some of the polishes, and yes, I walked away without any in hand. (To quote my boyfriend: "You have enough polishes to last a life time." 54 polishes, a lifetime?? pah!) What I did walk away with was this super cute hat. I would model it for you but my face is currently a mess. This hat was only $5, it's super cute and best of all it doesn't make my head hurt. I typically don't wear hats often because they do tend to make my head hurt, but so far this one has been OK. It's solid black, fedora style. I may figure out something I can put on it just to give it a little more color when I want, or take off if I want just a classical look.

Lastly, I tried out my Garnier Fructis Pure Clean sample yesterday. The first thing which struck me as I opened the package was the smell: fruit! This was unexpected, but it smelled good :) Upon inspection of the ingredients, I discovered it contains apple and lemon peel extract but also caffeine. So this smells great, but I hate it when companies sneak caffeine into their products. That's about all I'm going to say on that. I got this sample from Walmart, so it's no longer available. There were a few new things available from Walmart today, finally but wow, they're gone already. These sure don't last long.

Just a reminder that all of these samples are still available while supplies last! This is an updated, revised list; I just made certain all of these are still good so go grab some freebies if you haven't already :) Some may be available at certain times of the day, however.

  1. You should put a ribbon around it then you could stick colored feathers in the band and change them if you wanted :)

    1. great idea, thanks :) I was kind of thinking something along those lines but I was thinking of a flower in place of a feather. I like the feather idea, too though!
