Sprees and Frees


I have been on a crazy cosmetic spree lately. Getting cosmetics at the shop, online sprees and also getting free samples. Below are 2 packages I received yesterday.

The first package is some free samples that I got from fr3b. fr3b is a site where you can get free samples of products you want to try. They believe that everyone should get to try some samples before splurging on the full sized products so as not to waste money if the product is not suitable and I totally agree.

After you register, you will be awarded 6 points. You can 'redeem' sample products using these points and after receiving it, u can try the products and give your review on the site. Each review in turn gives you more points to redeem more things. Although they mention that you can try everything for free on the site, it is actually not 100% free. You need to pay a postage and handling fee. Which is a minimal fee. I paid $1.50 for these 3 products and after checking, I found that the postage is only $0.50 meaning $1.00 goes to handling. Actually this is not the first time I got samples from them. The first time round, because the package was damaged, I did not get to try a lot of the body moisturizer sample. I gave a review anyway coz you need more points to get more samples. I gave a truthful review though stating that the sample was damaged. This time round everything arrived safely. As I am on a Korea craze at the moment, I grabbed a few Korean products. The gowoonsesang repair serum is the cutest with a packaging that looks like a little bottle. Dr.Jart is also Korean. These two brands are develop by the dermalogical and plastic surgeons of Korea. Somehow I trust Korean cosmetics so I would love to try these out.

The second package is 2 lip balms from gowoonsesang that we (Linda and me) bought from JapaneseKoreanBeauty. The reason for getting this is because someone we know is using it so we decided to give it a try too. I will give my reviews soon. The seller very kindly sent a sample of the gowoonsesang brightening balm which is highly raved for me to try as well. It looks like a mini of the full sized one and has a strap to hang on your handphone. Cuteness!! The seller even wrote a thank you note. A very prompt and good seller.

Interesting! You can review the products on your blog too.

I once bought an AVON mini lipgloss with a cellphone strap attached too! So cute! It was more for fun coz i dont use lipstick/gloss lah. If you want, i can help u check if they still have it in stocks. I dont remember how much it was...but not ex lah. There's Korean DHC here too - if you want. ;)
