That's an amazing box! Is it one of the ones that you can buy as a one off? I have the Eliza nail polish and it's lovely Blingtones are awesome too

Where are you ladies getting all of your freebie samples from? I have ordered several freebie toothpaste samples over the last month in preparation for holiday and not one single one has arrived I really want to take a little sample one with us because I don't want to have to cart it home and run the risk of it exploding in the bag. I also want to be able to pop it in hand luggage in case we get stuck somewhere.

Welcome back lynsey-mum remember you do need some pamper time! that will get easier later on however!

And Kaz I have only signed up for samples from supersavyme, but the toothpaste from there came through fine for me.

And speaking of vices I have UU nearly all of my teabags! Using loose tea now, until such a time as a costco trip. Need to uu the loose tea too really, as I buy it as a treat then never make a proper cup of tea

I will often stop using a toothpaste when I know it has a week's worth left, then I set it aside with the travel items. As long the packaging is marked at 100ml or less, it can go as hand luggage.

(Mentioning that packaging thing as they only look at what it's marked, not how much it seems to have left, and occasionally I still see people caught by that rule, having to discard nice things, even though there might be only 20ml left in a 250ml container.)

Not that it answers your question of where to get samples, but in case it helps. :-)

Well I have ins from body shop DH needed some new shaving cream so used the £25 off £50 code and 12% quidco and added a couple of things for myself so.

Sweet Pea Body Butter Duo 200ml on offer at £ 1
A LYB card which came with free Elder flower Eye Gel 15ml
And a new makeup brush which doesn't count all the rest of the order is for DH

Sawan - it might be worth you emailing Carmine and asking what would be in your box (you could mention that you know the original box has sold out). They're really nice and helpful. I got the original box with the Steam Cream and the Balance Me shower gel. I've never had a bad box from them though (fingers crossed they don't suddenly go downhill like GlossyBox!) I received the Andrea Fullerton nail varnish in shade 'Matthew' - I wouldn't have chosen this but I actually like it now . I had the Bling Tone eye shadow in an earlier box in a greenish glittery shade and the lovely Japonesque brush was also in an earlier box. I suspect that you could sub for this one box and then un-sub but it's definitely worth checking first.

I get mine from all sorts of places the Dove one was from Facebook. The problem with freebies is they can take a long time to turn up.
