Getting Free Stuff in the Mail is Fun

One morning last week I was riding the bus ride to work and I began to wonder when my free samples from Target would be arriving, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a white and pink box from Target in my mailbox that afternoon.

Over a month ago, one of the blogs I read had a post about Target giving away makeup bags of free samples, so I went to Target's website and requested one. Target has done this offer before. The last time they had this giveaway, I received a blue and white makeup bag filled with shampoo & conditioner samples, a sample of lip gloss, a tube of lip balm, a travel sized bottle of hand lotion, and a coupon book.

The box I received today contained:

• A brightly colored makeup bag. 
• A sample of Burt's Bees lotion.
• A travel sized package of Pond's facial cleansing towelettes.
• A sample of L'oreal facial cream.
• 3 different sets of shampoo & conditioner samples.
• A coupon booklet for lotions, makeup, and other products at Target.

I'm really excited about the facial cleansing towelettes, because I like to take those in my toiletry bag when I travel so I don't have to lug around a bottle of face wash.

The makeup bag will go into my present box where I put things that I stick away to give to people later. I know several people who would like to have the makeup bag, but I haven't decided who I will end up giving it to.

The rest of the samples will I try out later this fall.
