i went to the following page and chose from the drop down menu 'general information' the first clicky that comes up is 'how can i recieve samples' i clicked on that and it said the folllowing:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How can I receive samples ?

In order for you to become familiar with our products and receive samples, you must visit an authorized CHANEL point of sale where a Beauty Advisor will help you and offer samples adapted to your skin needs. You can find the list of our points of sale on our website. [/FONT]

i did a print screen and printed it out (printing the page from the website doesnt work for some reason!) and took it to my local chanel counter and came away with a little bag full of samples

Hey I just popped into Boots and went to their Chanel stand and got a free mini mascara and 3 skincare minis. Ta for the tip!

As a side note, thought I'd try my luck at the Lancome stand...the girl was v rude to me but gave me a mini perfume.

what do you say to the assistants? I always feel intimidated or end up buying stuff and not getting any samples! :-S

i gave the lady the print out and just said 'i got this off the website' she read it and went to check what samples she had and gave me what she had basically

Just remember, they are people just like you, they are probably on a wage similar if not lower then yours- they most likely (unless they live from the bank of mummy and daddy!) understand where your comming from if you want to hold back ans see if its worth the cash and if they were shown something of that price I am sure they'd do similar.

The other thing to remember is that this is a promo- its done to try to get you to buy the item, so show interest and show that you are serious about getting some form of help for your skin/make-up routine. The staff are in many cases on comission and need to know they are not wasting their time with the "I just want the freebies and have no intention of paying for a product"-

Best advice? put yourself in their position, you are there to help each other- or at least make out that your helping each other.
