    Deborah Mitchell sent me 9 samples of their items, pretty decent sized products, too. Gave them to my mum, she was chuffed.

    Got £5 from Andrex for a compliment.

    Guinot sent me 2 3ml samples of some of their creams

    Jane Ciredale sent me what looks like an eyeshadow and 1 tube of cream (not an expert) which will be going into my sister's christmas make-up bag thing I'm making for her :D

    I got 4 samples from Steam Cream. My samples box is starting to get full!


    Steam Cream is amazing!! I got a damaged tub from them a few months back and mailed to tell them so ,they sent me out 3 replacements ,then not that long ago I won a comp from them and won a set :rotfl:I have kept 2 for myself and the rest are going towards small add on's for the females in the family at xmas :) The smell is so natural (lavender and other things) plus ,the really do work well .
    I once prayed to god for a bike, but quickly found out he didnt work that way...so I stole a bike and prayed for his forgiveness .........

    thanks again
    went and emailed 7 companies and already have 3 promising samples

    yves rocher has promised some samples( used an edited version of your template so thanks ), what are their products like? not that it matters looking forward to trying them anyway :D

    Yves Rocher are really good ,the perfumes are lovely .... I'm a huge fan of their night cream and matt lotion (its a primer). They remind me of a much better quality Avon ...... If you get any of the makeup samples ,keep them for yourself ,the foundation alone is brilliant! :rotfl:

    I'm well chuffed for you ,hope you get more results !!

    liberty of london emailed me back asking for phone number so they can pass it to beauty desk so they can ring for a chat:eek:

    did you have the chat thing on the phone with them, bit worried as not very good at talking on the phone.

    used a version of your template, they emailed say they had a large variety of products, she recommend aesop but said it was hard to know what to recommend 100% and could she have my number to pass onto aesop beauty counter and a few others :eek:

    Yup ,I got the phone call ,and like you Im not so good on the phone ..... the lady who spoke to me was on the phone for near 20 minutes ... very helpful and more relaxed than I was lol I just kept moaning about the state of my skin and my lack of confidence in both myself and other companies who 'claim' to have the magic products ,we also talked about my routine (be lavish if she does this) . Good luck you ,I hope you get something good!
