I email Nivea for some samples and got an email back saying that dues to current economical climate they were unable to offer samples as sample bottles cost too much and they only make them for new products, was worth a try i suppose, any 1 had any luck with any stationary i go through loads if any1 go any ideas could you post or pm me plz
thanks

Hi, I sent off an email to Nivea last week and today received 11 samples which includes natural beauty sample daily scrub,eye cream and moisturiser. Also, received smooth sensation, nivea visage young, expert lift - anti saging system and nivea anti wrinkle nightcream/ day cream and eye cream.

Hi all,

Got a lovely package from Lush today with samples of:
Rock Star soap
17 Cherry tree Lane soap
Freeze shower gel
Veganese Conditioner
Vanilla Dee-lite (not too sure exactly what this is, will have to look on Lush website to find out).

:T to the lovely people from Lush!

Love Elaine xxxx

Sounds like lovely freebies, was just wondering how you got those, did you purchase something first? I emailed Lush a while ago as there isnt a store anywhere near me and asked for some samples to try before i buy on mail order and they said if i want samples i would have to request them after buying something and email them my transaction number or something x

No - I emailed them saying that I had problem skin due to a change in medication (which is true), and asked if they could send me samples. They were only too happy to oblige. I wasn't asked for a transaction number or anything like that. I've found, incidentally, that when I've emailed companies for samples after explaining my situation, I've not had a refusal yet.

HTH!

Thanks! Ooh goody! I'll smell like sweeties now!!:j

Tried the veganese conditioner last night, and it made my hair feel lovely - and my head (fingers crossed) hasn't itched up to now. Me thinks I will be spending quite a bit of money the next time I visit Lush!

BTW, got a package from Moulton Brown today with a little travel size bottle of Skinfresh Facial Wash, and a sample of ambrusca shower and bath gel, so am looking forward to trying these out...maybe I should save all these for a pampering evening when DH is watching football!;)

I asked Molton Brown very nicely for some samples of their products,but they emailed me back saying I had to place an order first and then they would include 2 free samples.Where did I go wrong??
I actually would like to buy Molton Brown products but sometimes trying a sample first helps you to decide which product to buy or whether to buy them at all!
