    Hiya, I have not been on here for a few weeks.

    Just Wanted to ask if anyone can throw any light on my mystery parcel?
    Came from the post office mail van, London postmark. no letter.

    Large jiffy type bag with my name and address hand written...
    inside - Paper carry bag from L'Oreal with large size shampoo and conditioner. 50ml youth code luminize cream and 3 large size pieces of make up.

    Phoned my daughter as it is my birthday coming up at end of month. She said not from her.

    Prize draw win? not done any for a wile.

    Must of cost, guessing £40 - £50

    Wish there was a note, letter or something!

    Yes Bzzagent and Clix - I did think that but they usually ask if you want to be in a trial.

    I have had a few trial single sachets of shampoo and conditioner from L'Oreal over the months (freebies, like we all get)
    Wonder if it is a prize draw from them I may have entered?

    Just showed husband, and he looked for clues too. Said "well it has your name on the large jiffy type bag".

    Daughter is coming round tomorrow to look too! Has asked for the make up bits as I don't use them...Have not said yes, yet as I have 2 daughters.
    Make up is large black mascara, pale green nail varnish and not sure what the other is? in a bottle that looks like nail varnish, a brown colour and has a stick on the lid with small sponge on the end. Blusher????

    Wish there was a letter or something?

    I wondered if any other forum member had got one?

    It sounds to me as if it maybe a prize draw from loreal paris that you could have entered as it seems a seletion of the new things they are probably promoting

    either that or a competition run by super savvy...either way I think its a prize draw thing rather than something like bzz which you need to test

    The think with a stick on the end...could that be a lip gloss
    Sounds lovely...

    Hi, do you get the L'Oreal email sent to you ?
    It sounds like their monthly competition prize,
    lucky you :)
    I got cleansing wipes to trial.
  • Could it of been glamour magazine, I had a parcel like that a while ago... It wasn't until I had a email asking me to fill in a survey to tell them what I thought.

    Also claimed £25 with My Surveys, as Amaz*n vouchers.

    Over the past year I've taken nearly £200 in vouchers from different survey companies (and I don't do every single one I get). Plus lots of different products to test.
    I've only been doing them for roughly 3 years, I wish I'd started years ago.
