So yeah, I've got to admit, this is almost a sucky week for sample/freebies/goodies redemption. If I was a little lazy yesterday and didn't go all the way to Vivo City, I'd probably only have the Humming Flowers & Gifts tote bag to show and tell for the weekend. Luckily, the bus ride to and fro Vivo isn't always that crowded, and partly also because I'm a little tired of the "atas" and "yaya" attitude of the SAs along Orchard Road. Although not every SAs are like that, but trying to find a SA who doesn't show a grouchy attitude while only redeeming freebies and not buying anything is frankly speaking, akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But well, for every 2 angsty SAs, there will always be one that's happy to serve walk-in window shoppers who may not feel like spending anything at all. And without much further ado, here's a look at what I managed to get for this week.
As soon as I saw the purple envelope, I knew what's inside. And yay!! This is my 3rd Humming Flowers & Gifts Tote Bag and the 3rd one actually seems to be a little bigger, as compared to the previous 2. Now, I can't wait for the 4th and final one to show up in my mailbox already!!
This is what the front of the 3rd Tote bag looks like.
And the back indicates a URL to it's website :D

So, there were actually 3 outlets I can redeem my free beauty sample kits at. One was at Ion Orchard, one at Vivo and the last one, I think it's at Raffles Place, if I do remember it correctly. And since I am starting to feel a little put off by the attitude from SAs around Orchard Road area, which I am duly blaming on the experience I encountered from Sulwhasoo Singapore. I thought I would go to the Vivo outlet instead as it's actually a few bus stops away from residential HDB flats, it's almost akin to a neighborhood shopping mall, but a little much better.
And honestly, I wasn't expecting a bag from the SA at the Vivo Beauty by Nature outlet for my samples. Let's face it, most SAs don't really want to give you a bag, especially if you are only collecting samples and not buying a single thing. It doesn't even help that when shoppers don't want a bag, they can't be bothered to say it early either. They wait until the SA or cashier placed their stuffs inside a bag, then they'll say: "Oh! I don't need a bag!".
Hence, I kinda understand why sometimes cashiers and SAs are reluctant to give out bags for sample redemptions. Partly because of customers who cannot be bothered to inform the staffs they don't need a bag before the staff can even grabbed a bag. So yeah, this paper bag from Beauty by Nature is really cute and sweet to look at.
My Nuxe Beauty Kit (S$40) sample actually comes in a small cosmetic pouch. Sorry for the angle I took the shot at, since I was having a little problem trying to decide how the pouch actually looks like. Only found out next day, that it's even much awesome and cuter than I first thought it was.
And the Nuxe Beauty Kit sample consists of:
- Brightening Cleansing Foam [All Skin Types] - x 1 @ 15ml
- Visible Expression Lines Fluid [Combination & Normal Skin] - x 1 @ 15ml
- Pore-Reducing Serum [Combination & Oily Skin] - x 1 @ 2ml
WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Go over to Nuxe Singapore Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/nuxe.sg, Like their page. Next, look for this link that says Free Beauty Kit and click on it. You need to fill in your details, which is really short and then print out the page and bring it to a Beauty by Nature outlet of your choice to redeem it.
But hurry, as I've heard that there's less than 100 sets of samples left for redemption now. And good luck!!
My Phyto Beauty Kit (S$40) sample comes wrapped in this delicately blue wrapping paper. Which actually tears easily as I was trying hard not to tear too big a hole in it. It looks flimsy but the wordings on the paper do make it look classy, as if there's a wonderful treasure inside.
The Phyto Beauty Kit sample consists of:
- PhytoCyane Revitalizing Shampoo [Thinning Hair] - x 1 @ 50ml
- PhytoBaume Volume Express Conditoner [Fine Hair] x 1 @ 12ml
- PhytoDéfrisant Botanical Straightening Balm [Unruly, Frizzy Hair] x 1 @ 50ml

Hello. My name is Riih Rion Pu Niao and I am a female blogger. I blog mainly about my personal opinions on beauty products, links to get free samples (in Singapore), monthly beauty topic(s) and other goodies related to beauty topics on this blog. What started out as curiosity back in April 2007 soon turned into serious blogging-mania for me.
Note that all photos featured in this blog are concentrated on the products itself, and I personally do not believe in trying to wrestle attention away from the products by constantly squeezing my mugshot in it. Photos are mostly and currently taken with a Canon Ixus 170 & Samsung Galaxy S7 and edited with Paint.Net & Giphy.
