  • its really poor advertising on their part isnt it? but i reckon freebies are freebies so 2 things is better than none! :)

  • I must be the most unlucky freebie hunter in the world, they said they couldn't send out samples to me but that if what I "purchased" (dirty word!) didn't suit my skin type, I could return it for a refund under their money back/satisfaction gurantee!!! Not a happy bunny!

    I'm afraid you will have to settle for Joint-Unluckiest as the same happened to me. Yesterday they also sent me a brochure and an order form - they charge postage. As if anybody would buy it themselves instead of through an agent!!!:rolleyes:

  • Yep got exactly the same message as you Kerry; naturally it went straight in the deleted box!
  • its really not fair that some of you didn't recieve samples even a little vial of perfume would have sufficed i suppose, but turning you down wasn't very nice.

  • I emailed and got cellulite cream foundation, moisturiser, lippies etc.. very exciting. Make sure you dont over do the email, if u say you have acne they will just say you need medicated stuff, and wont send anything. I wrote a bit of a sob story and pretended i had a ball to go to and wanted to look pretty etc.. and voila result!! But be overly polite.. they love that ie.. I would be so awfully gratful, if you could possibly etc ...!!
  • good tactic dillydally :)
