crikey sorry to hear that, the only other thing i can suggest is look out for them in town because they tend to appear quite a bit we had one in derby last week giving out tissues and gillette were there at the weekend giving out deodrant and moisterisers i would just go up a few times to different people and get your freebie and get friends too lol

I emailed procter and gamble, loreal, nivea, all in all about 10 places with a very nice email about how eery little it will help and how it would be free advertising and the ideal oppertunity for them to get new customers without trying.

You would probably do better if you email them saying you have very sensitive skin and would like to try a sample to see if its ok on you before you buy a full size product.

I've heard some success stories with it done this way but im not sure if that before the recession or not!

A friend did this at their wedding and in the ladies loo's they had...

Molten Brown Hand Soap and Hand Cream
Tampax
Sanitary Pads
Baby Wipes
3 mini perfumes
Paracetamol (only kids at the wedding were under 5 so wouldn't be in there alone anyway)
Nail File
Party Feet

I commented on the lovely idea, but won't be doing it at our wedding as it's just another one of those things we would like but just can't afford (like chair covers).

so far i have emailed neutrogena/champneys/garnier/l`oreal/nivea/sure/proctor & gamble & Olay.... lets hope i get some freebies

Just a really wild thought but you could try emailing someone like debenhams asking for samples from their makeup counters and you would give them publicity in the wedding magazine your featuring in (even if thats a little white lie)
