Sample source freebies!  I actually woke up early to got these...I was bummed that I only got half of what was available, despite being there when it launched.

My samplesource package!  I was only supposed to get 5, so I was happy there were more.  The pills were from another company.

These were freebies for using flexdelivery!  I saw the infuser for around $7, and the lip gloss for $10!  It's in such a cute package.

There's also some nescafe coffee samples, and there were a bunch of promo codes for various stores, but I already recycled them.

A samplesource package!  I usually miss them, but I was happy I was able to get quite a few this year.  Some people actually ended up getting several free product coupons as well.  I wish I could have gotten some of those.

A package from Samplesource.  I missed it entirely the last time, so I'm glad I got something this time.

I was pretty annoyed though...I was on the site soon after they posted it, but I couldn't get through!  I had somewhere to go, so I couldn't check again until hours later.  Almost all gone by then...they actually only offered me 2 samples, so getting 4 was a nice surprise!

Secret deluxe shaping panty: $1 @ Walmart.ca (RSP:  $9.97)

I was actually surprised this came.  It was on backorder for more than two weeks, and this is the first time one has ever come!

Surprisingly, it also came with a shampoo/conditioner sample.  I really wonder how they choose which packages get these...I rarely do, even when I spend much more than this!

Samples from Samplesource.  These are usually so popular, they go in hours!  I missed the last few, so I'm glad I was able to get this one.

Another brandsampler.  The body wash is way bigger than the ones in the past have been!

Another brandsampler!  This time, there were two...a household one, and a beauty one.  You could only pick one.  This was the only one I qualified for, so it was easy.

I didn't expect there to be a full size mascara, so I'm pretty happy about that!

Another brandsampler - this one was a beauty one.  I did get that shampoo and conditioner in another one though.

Two brandsamplers - for some reason, they were offering three different ones at a time!  I'm still waiting on one.

Another P&G brandsampler.  This one even came with a full size mascara!

I really like this new box too.  It's a huge tray so there's no overlap inside.

Samplesource - the first one I've gotten in a long time!  Possibly the whole year.  They were always out whenever I found out about them, so I'm happy I snagged this one.

I think it's the best so far, just because of that full sized Hershey bar!  I buy those all of the time, they're the best.  

Funnily enough, those kellogs things were the worst thing I've tasted in a long time.  There are some chocolate covered juice things in there too, but I haven't tried them yet.

Regina maxi dress in green and yellow (RSP:  $4.99 - $88 each)

$8.39 for both @ Beyond the Rack

For some reason I had a $10 credit, and the happened to be having a final clearance right now!  I'm so glad I bothered to look.

I got the green one right away, but it was hard to find something else that was worth it.  They normally only have one of each item, and they're reserved for 20 minutes whenever someone adds them to their cart.

Luckily, the yellow one became available again and I snatched it up.  Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have bought either of them.  You can only apply the credit to the actual price of the merchandise, not the shipping or the tax.  $8 for one dress isn't really a deal, but $4 is! 

They also included a ton of samples:

They did mention it in the checkout, but I thought it'd only be one or two things.  This was a nice surprise!

Cantebury - Blue/black/pink silk tie:  $2 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $18)

Plus a bunch of random samples.  This tie's for me...I thought it was so girly and pretty!  I thought I could do something with it. 

Pantene/Clear 50ml shampoos - Superstore was giving these out today...this is the first time I've ever gotten samples there!  Well, they did have the odd food sampling in the past, but never anything like this.

Actually, they had a few food samples today as well.  I hope this is a weekly thing for them!

Another P&G sampler, plus a sample from Dove.  I just missed out on a samplesource pack so I'm glad I didn't miss this one too.

Benefit - They're real mascara and watt's up highlighter:  free @ Sephora (RSP:  ~$20)

Plus some tattoo samples from burberry.  What an odd idea, but it's presented in a really neat way.

The set from Sephora is their birthday freebie.  They always have such good ones!  This one and last year's were worth about $20 each...what a generous gift!  

They actually offered me last year's again, but I'd rather have a different one, even though I'd use the older one more.

Also got a gift from a friend:



A purse with pearl accents, a pearl necklace, and a cherub figure.  She sure knows what I like!

Elle Beauty Box - Fall 2013

This is a new thing they're starting.  I've considered subscribing to one, so this was a nice surprise!  I wasn't sure if I was going to get one, since it was a guarantee.

This was completely free, so I can't really complain...but I really wish they sent me the box with the nail polish!  That one also had 30 ml samples of shampoo and conditioner.

The box I got was the age reversing box - which at 28, I have no use for!  I seriously have no signs of aging, I still get carded!  So I really can't give them feedback on those products, I wonder if they just sent them out at random.

Mine came with a full size covergirl mascara, 10 ml shampoo and condition samples, a white strip, and some age reversing serum.

They're having another one soon.  I hope I get that one too, and it actually has products I can use!

Just some samples.  I was most excited about the Korres ones - their value is around $11 each!  It's their rose oil brightening and moisturizing cream.  I got one for me and my mom.
