Borba Free Samples

While writing my review post on Borba Fiber Knit products below, I discovered that Sephora is no longer carrying Borba products. A Google search led me to discover that a lot of sites are no longer carrying Borba products. Maybe there are others like me who just can't take the smell! Just kidding. This is surprising since Borba was teaming up with Tarte so frequently lately, even teaming up to bring a Today's Special Value for QVC that featured both Tarte and Borba products.

Borba.com is still up and running though. I'm glad that I went to that site because there is a free sample section! I can't believe I have never heard of this free sample offer before. While I just wrote a not so great review for the Fiber Knit products, I'm still up for trying some not so stinky Borba products. Even better, when you click the free sample section it states that you may also receive free samples from companies like Tarte! I definately am not turning down free samples from Tarte Cosmetics. If you're interested in signing up too (I know you are!), just go to Borba.com and give them your address and you're set.

Free Bag Of Samples From Beauty.com

I am so excited to post this next post. I cannot tell you how many people email me or leave comments and ask, "When is Sephora going to offer one of those killer bags packed full of free deluxe sized samples?!?!?!" My answer always is, "I have no idea, but I hope soon!" Alas, Sephora has continued to let me down. They've offered a few bags with regular sized samples, but the days of deluxe sized samples seems to be gone. But thankfully, Beauty.com has recognized our pleas and has decided to offer their own sample packed bag.

While supplies last, spend $100 at Beauty.com and get a cute Lela Rose bag filled to the brim with great deluxe sized samples. Products include...

- Vincent Longo La Doce Vita Lashes
- Vincent Longo The Curl Mascara
- Alterna Caviar Moisture Shampoo w/Seasilk
-ARCONA Cranberry Toner
- bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash
- tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy
- L'Occitane Verbena Harvest Shower Gel
- L'Occitane Verbena Harvest Body Lotion
- Freeze 24/7 IceShield Facial Cleanser SPF15
- Urban Decay eyeshadow Primer Potion

I must say, I can't believe how many great brands and great products are included in this kit. A lot of times kits like these contain one or two great products/brands and then they are fluffed with no-name or mediocre products/brands.

This kit comes at a great time since now Beauty.com is carrying products from both Smashbox and Stila.

You don't need any coupon / promo codes for this. It will show up in your shopping cart once you go to checkout. Don't forget to pick out your three samples when you check out as well. Happy Shopping!

Let's Do Lunch Tuesday At Smashbox


It's time for Let's Do Lunch Tuesday at Smashbox.com. Today's freebie is another full size product. Get a FREE FULL SIZE CREAM EYE LINER TRIO IN BLOCKBUSTER with any purchase during lunch. The colors in Blockbuster are gorgeous. From the picture, it looks like there is either a black or brown shade, a beautiful olive shade, and a perfect peachy-pink shade. All complimentary to each other, but all gorgeous enough to wear on their own. I do use Smashbox Cream Liners and do recommend them. Happy Shopping!

Free Sample Of Jergens Natural Glow Express

I must admit that I have drastically fallen behind in my self-tanning regimen. I was religious about using my Bare Escentuals Faux Tan for months, but as the Chicago winter quickly rolled in I got lazy. Afterall, I'm going to be bundled up in jeans and sweaters for months to come, who is going to see my skin. Lately the glimpses that I'm catching of myself in the mirror after a shower are frightening. Not only am I suffering from pale winter skin, I'm also suffering from dry winter skin. It's time to get back on the self tanning bandwagon.

As luck would have it, I've come across a free sample of Jergens Natural Glow Express. This product claims you will "see more than a full shade of color in 3 days." Just what I need! I am definately curious to try this product out. The last time I used a Jergens self tanning product the smell almost made me puke. It will be interesting to see if they've done something to mask that odor. This sample is available while supplies last.

Free Sample Of NV Perricone Ceramic Eye Smoother

I came across a great sample that I am so excited to share! I found this one in Glamour Magazine. Get a FREE sample of NV Perricone Ceramic Eye Smoother simply by clicking on the link. Although I have never purchased any NV Perricone products (way too pricey for me), I have snagged every free sample from this company that I can. I have found that every product that I have sampled has worked so I'm very excited to try this one out. My eye area is the area that I know I will have "problems" with in the future so I'm hoping to try as many products as I can to help fight those problems now.

I have no idea how long this offer is good for. I'm assuming it's until they run out of samples. Pass this one on to all your friends, your mom, your daughters, etc. They will love you for it.

Free Bag Of Samples From Sephora.com

You know, I just mentioned something about how I hope Sephora.com puts out another free gift bag full of samples this holiday season and what do I get in my inbox a few days later??? Why an email with a coupon code for FREE BEAUTY GOODIES WITH A $25 PURCHASE! Simply use the coupon / promo code GOODIES with your purchase of at least $25 at Sephora.com and you will get 13 samples with your order. Samples inlcude:

- Agent Provocateur Maitesse Eau De Parfum
- Benefit Do It Daily Oil Free Moisturizing Lotion SPF 10
- Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Fortifying Serum
- Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
- Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme
- Girogio Armani Code Pour Femme
- LAVANILA Vanilla Blossom
- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Nude
- MD Skincare Hydar-Pure Firming Eye Cream
- Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Gel
- Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess
- Valentino Rock'n Rose
- Vincent Longo Creme Concealer

Now, I will say this, I know that beggers can't be choosers, but I'm a little disappointed that these freebies are not deluxe size samples. The last sample bag that Sephora was not deluxe size either. I hope they realize that we, the consumers, want the bigger sized samples!!! It's nice to have a deluxe sized sample so that you can use the product a least twice if not more to see if it's a product that is working for you. I also think that sometimes there's not even enough product in one of those mini sizes sample pouches to use in one application...especially in hair care products (unless you have gone Britney Spears and shaved your head). Come on Sephora! Give the customers what they want! Based on the comments and emails from this blog, it's obvious that everyone loves the bags full of deluxe sized samples.

Free Sample Secret Clinical Strength


With 1000% humidity quickly approaching in Chicago, I was very intrigued to see the commercials for Secret's new Clinical Strength. I signed up for a free sample and have to say that I was really impressed. I tested it out during my run along the lake on an almost 90 degree day and there was no sweat under my arms! I know, I can't believe it either! If you want to get a free sample too just click here to get your sample.

I had to get my internet fix in before I head out to the Sox game this afternoon and then fireworks at Navy Pier tonight.

Freebie From Sephora

So I've already told you that Sephora is opening at Orland Mall on February 2nd. For those of you who are going to be able to head on over there this weekend for the grand opening festivities, check out this coupon. Print it out and bring it to Sephora at Orland on February 2nd or 3rd and get a cute Sephora make-up bag absolutely FREE. You don't even have to purchase anything. I have snagged free cosmetic bags from Sephora grand openings before and have to say they are so great. Not big enough to hold every piece of make-up you have, but a great size to hold your products for an over-night getaway. I am one of those people who carries a humongoid purse, so I use mine to keep my make-up in my purse organized.

Free Sample of Olay Definity

Lately I have been hearing more and more great things about Olay. There was even a news segment on a few weeks ago that talked about a study that found that Olay was better at fighting wrinkles and the signs of aging than the much more expensive brands of moisturizers. Their latest product is called Olay Definity. I've been wanting to try this and was going to pick it up at Target today but they were sold out. Good thing I found this FREE SAMPLE. I am most interested in the Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer. This is the first moisturizer that I have ever seen in foam form. I'm sure this is going to be a hot sample so it may not last too long.
