Ask for samples!

I went to a Dior counter today to get a new foundation (the Diorskin Nude one) and the man was so nice, I didn't have a lot of money today so I just bought the foundation and asked him to write down the kind of cleanser he had used on me. He then gave me a huge sample of a moisteriser that he had used too. So I chanced my luck and asked for other samples ;)

I ended up with a proper mini bottle sample of j'adore perfume, a sample of the j'adore body milk, a mini palette of eyeshadows with 5 colours and the moisteriser (which is a proper mini tub).

I am so pleased with my stash of freebies :D
Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I was hunting in Boots recently because they have discontinued my favourite moisturiser and a very helpful lady found me some samples too. They are, of course, from a more expensive range than the one I used to use, but I've tried others in the same and cheaper ranges and don't like them ...

    Thought I might see what Superdrug had next time I'm in there. :wink:
