Samples Received/Redeemed: 07 Jan - 12 Jan 2013

It is definitely a crappy week, not much goodies that I've received nor redeemed. But still, at least 1 is better than none, no matter how I look at it.

And when I eyed this plastic-y envelope, I instantly knew. The 4th and final Humming Tote Bag is finally here. They were delivered in different colored plastic envelopes.

Here's the front of the Tote Bag, with a big flower on it. Can't really figure out exactly what type of flower it is, but it's a big flower :D

And here's the back of the bag, with Humming's website address. And the last Tote Bag is really slightly bigger than the 3rd one I've received.

Here's a shot at all 4 of the Tote bags from Humming. From the left is the 1st and smallest one, while the on the right is the last and the biggest. Notice how the size gets bigger and bigger.

Luckily, it's only 4 they are giving out. If Humming is going to continue giving them out, the size is definitely going to get bigger and we all will probably attempt to fit ourselves inside the bag while taking pictures :P

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: If you haven't gotten your very 1st Mini Tote bag from Humming Flowers & Gifts yet, here's how:

• Go over to Humming Flowers & Gifts Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/HummingFlowersandGifts, Like their page.

• Now, you send them a PM for the 2nd Mini Tote bag and repeat the above steps to get the 3rd and 4th bag.

I've collected all 4 designs, have you collected yours yet? :D

So, I received this mailer from FreshKon in my mailbox. Was a little excited, maybe there's a mailer inside for free contact lenses sampling. Since the last time I wear contact lenses, it was unfortunately because my glasses decided to "snap and break" in a very unexpected place. Which is that specific area that links the lenses to the two sticks that hooks around your ear (My apologies for the horrendous explanation, but I am simply not too familiar with Spectacle anatomy. I simply knwo them as "Spectacles" or "Glasses".)

If it's just the screw that has gotten loose, it can easily be replaced free-of-charge at the nearest spectacle shop near you. But alas, it was actually separated from the spectacle frame area that holds the lenses. Even scotch-tape can't save me, so I sent a staff to the nearest spectacle shop to purchase contact lenses on my behalf and luckily, she knew what to ask before running off the buy them.

And needless to say, Bausch & Lomb has been the only brand I've tried without side effects. So, I was thinking maybe I could get a free trial for the same brand or something. Only to be sorely disappointed somehow..

First, it came in a booklet form. Which somehow upped the "excited" factor a little.

And that's when I realized, it's just many pieces of printed rubbish crap advertising the different functions of FreshKon contact lenses. Which brings to mind, can't they just do this via Email as they have my email address? There isn't enough trees and rainforest on this planet anymore, and excessive and useless advertising garbage like these isn't really helping our home planet.

Thanks, FreshKon for helping me make up my mind in not supporting you by buying your products anymore. I do not like wastage of paper via useless and stupid method like these type of advertising. Oh why, all those samples I've received in my mailbox before, I've always kept the envelopes so I can re-use them. And that is only so much I can do as a consumer.

Whereas you FreshKon as a big company, can't even take the first step in preventing trees being cut down for nonsensical wastages like this. In fact, you are probably happy that you are sending out so many of these crap in the hopes that I would buy your products after being visually attacked with so many colors. You're wrong!

And the pamphlet at the last is more of a "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" exercise. Let's face it, why would I purchase something I've never tried before? I don't want anything bad to happen to my eyes and already bad eyesight.

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: This paper wastage was mailed to me since I have a membership account on FreshKon website. And I stronly urge my readers not to sign up for any membership nor newsletter so we can actually prevent FreshKon from wasting even more papers and cutting even more trees just so they can print these nonsense to mail it out -_-

Why not like my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PuNiaosProductReviews to be informed of latest samples I found, which is duly updated? Also includes updates to contests that I've sourced out for you to join. It will definitely save you the trouble of having to hunt them down :)

Samples Received/Redeemed: 31 Dec 2012 - 05 Jan 2013

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

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: If you haven't gotten your very 1st Mini Tote bag from Humming Flowers & Gifts yet, here's how:

• Go over to Humming Flowers & Gifts Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/HummingFlowersandGifts, Like their page.

Now, I shall wait patiently for the 4th and final Tote Bag from Humming Flowers & Gifts.

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

The more I sniffed them, the more I am thinking of beach, sun, surf. And I am feeling a headache coming up <.< Sorry, but I'm just not into a beach outing under the hot sun, gives me a bad headache from the sun shining down on the top of my head.

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

Samples Received/Redeemed: 24 Dec - 29 Dec 2012

So, this is practically the last sample, goodies and freebies batch most of us are going to be receiviing for 2012. And then, onwards to 2013, where I hope there will be more samples for us to get our anxious yet anticipating hands on. As you can also see for the blog title above, it's for samples received and redeemed from 24 December through to 29 December. 31 December will be alongside the first week of January 2013 instead, if only 01 January always falls on a Monday, it would make sample cataloging on my side much more easier to do, especially when a blog is concerned, making everything much more neater and systematically easily.

So, as usual, I managed to have 6 items for show and tell today. It is almost equivalent to redeeming an item once a day from Monday straight till Saturday, huh? I definitely do wish we can all redeem samples and win stuffs on a daily basis, save for Sundays when the post office isn't open and there won't be SingPost staffs to "manhandle" and "abuse" our poor packages. Without further ado, here's a look at what I've gotten my paws on for the last week of 2012.

So, I got to know about this sample giveaway via a Facebook friend and immediately linked the relevant link onto my Facebook page and my own personal wall, urging everyone I know to go get it while stocks last. And finally, it's here!!

So, I got a SexyLook Extreme Whitening Duo Lifting Mask, alongside with a really flimsy pamphlet that shows their Intensive Care Black Cotton Mask, and a really cheesy-looking travel pamphlet/voucher or some thingamabob that does not make sense to me. Just wanted the mask for my mother :D

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Go over to SexyLook Singapore Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SexyLook.sg, Like their page. Next, look for this link that says Beauty Quest. Click on it and you will come to a page that has 2 options, namely "Lucky Draw - This week Hall of Fame" and "Beauty Quest - View all my score(s)./View Selected Winners."

If you have bought any SexyLook masks and still have your receipt with you, you can use the receipt to enter into a lucky draw by clicking on the "Lucky Draw" option. However, if you are just focused on redeeming a SexyLook mask only, click the other option that says "Beauty Quest" and play a game, which confused me literally on all levels. Let's just say I got 0 points but still managed to get myself a mask somehow ^^

So, if you were reading my "Samples Received/Redeemed" post last week, you would have known that Humming Flowers & Gifts were giving out these cute Mini Tote bags to their fans. It isn't too late to Like them to get your 1st bag yet, as there has been no update on the status of their very first Mini Tote bag, so I can safely presume they still have stocks left. But hurry!!

So, for the 2nd Mini Tote Bag giveaway, the design is a Sunflower. (The first one is of a Orchid design/pattern) I'll just presume that this is the front of the bag ^^

And here is the back of the bag. I wish I had a small puppy that I can use to hold it while I waltz around the neighborhood mall, but people are probably going to give me strange looks for doing that. Therefore, I shall just use it to hold my purse, cardholder, tissue packs, hairbrush, keys and some throat lozenges instead :D

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: If you haven't gotten your very 1st Mini Tote bag from Humming Flowers & Gifts yet, here's how:

• Go over to Humming Flowers & Gifts Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/HummingFlowersandGifts, Like their page.
• Next, click on the button that states Message beside the Like/Liked button near the top right of the page, that is the PM a.k.a Private Message function.
• Once a standalone pop-up box appears, type in your name and mailing address in order to get your very first Mini Tote bag from Humming Flowers & Gifts.
• As soon as you get the very first Mini Tote bag, snap a photo of it and then post, upload and share it on your own profile wall.
• Next, let Humming Flowers & Gifts know you have received, taken a photo, upload, posted and shared by commenting on Humming Flowers & Gifts facebook page.
• Now, you send them a PM for the 2nd Mini Tote bag and repeat the above steps to get the 3rd and 4th bag.

And now, I shall wait patiently for the 3rd bag to arrive at my house. Mufufufu~

So, I mentioned on my Facebook page and my own personal profile wall about this Beauté Spring haul I had. They were having 30% to 70% on selected items and naturally, I had to go for the acne and pimple series. This Kitoko Kalani bag, I got it for buying close to S$40 worth of goodies. Not really sure exactly how much you need to purchase to get it though since there wasn't any indication anywhere. And surprisingly, although this tote bag looks small, I can actually hook/drape around my shoulder nicely :D

So, I was contemplating between this Tsaio XP3 and another Tsaio acne/pimple kit, but was finally persuaded to get this 3 piece kit instead as it contains:

• Pimple Tonic - 30g
• Papain Remove Mask - 40g
• Grapefruit Seed Pimple Cream - 20ml

The other 2 piece kit only have the Pimple Tonic and Papain Remove Mask, so this would have been a much better choice as the Grapefruit Seed Pimple Cream actually helps to tighten pores.

So, I got this 3 awesome goodies. They are namely:

• Tsaio Grapefruit Seed Extract Peeling Gel - 100g
• Kitoko Kalani Grapefruit Purifying Cleanser - 100g
• Tsaio Acne Cleansing Foam - 108g

Despite seeing a lot of "grapefruit"-based products, I can happily announce that it doesn't sting my face nor skin at all. The peeling gel is to remove dead skin cells on the surface of our skin, flaky skin can also be removed, but best recommended to use it only once a week. Or to quote an ex-manager of mine: "Careful you wash until your face rots ah!" *shivers at the prospect of that ever happening*

As for the 2 facial cleansing foam, I was recommended to get both and use them on alternate days to prevent acne and pimples from showing up on my skin. Just the Tsaio Acne Cleansing Foam alone will not help my skin condition at all.

And along the way, I got these 2 Garnier Light - Intensive 3 in 1 Whitening Essence Mask. Every S$5 spent entitles you to a mask actually, it depends on what the cashier-at-the-moment is giving you. Of course, if you are buying acne and pimple products, it would be disastrous to give the hyaluronic masks as too much moisture will end up producing more zits on our oily face instead. Just normal moisturizing should do the trick, no need for the hyaluronic mask.

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: These aren't samples and are un-redeemable. However, Beauté Spring were been having an ongoing discount on selected items in their outlets for the past 2.5 weeks already and the discount ends on 31 December this year. I would recommend the discounted items they have now as these are actually really effective. And no, they are not having a discount to get rid of stocks that will be expiring soon. They had a discount because they want to reward their customers and most discounted items have expiry dates that hits 2014 or 2015, quite a year or 2 to go. Which by then, you would have used up the items way before the expiry date gets any nearer.

So yeah, I got en email a week or so before asking me to complete a survey organized by License2Play, which concerns their License2Play exhibition/expo thingy. Truthfully? I never attend as it was at Marina Bay Sands area and I don't really see fit in going all the way there to redeem a pack of Angry Birds playing cards when I was trying to win the Lenovo Yoga Thinkpad laptop, as my current one tends to hang and lag unexpectedly. And well, I didn't get to win anything till the day the License2Play app was over.

Instead, less than a week later, I got an email from SPH's Media Centre that to thank me for the survey, I was eligible to redeem a set of earphones. And my gawd, I almost thought I isolated myself inside their lift lobby. For a fact, I was supposed to go to Level 2 Sphere Exhibition Centre, but couldn't find it. Instead, I found the Circulation department. So, I went back to Level 1 and couldn't get the glass doors opened. Until this tall and beautiful woman used her own work pass to tap on some machine to grant her access.

And I duly accosted this beautiful woman for help since there was no Sphere Exhibition area at all and I was literally feeling like a headless chicken. She directed me to the Circulation department instead and I saw for myself a piece of paper taped to the door stating to call a number for earphone collecting/redemption purposes. And at the same time, asked for help on exiting the lift lobby area. And once out, heard someone yell "CUT!" in which I scurried away in panic before realizing I was probably intruding on a really small group of people filming. Too bad I didn't see who was the actress.

The back of the Lego Playbrick earphone, which is also a canal-type earphone.

And now, the up-close shot of the Lego Playbrick earphone. This would probably cost between S$9.90 to S$19.90 in retail price, so definitely worth redeeming from my point of view.

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Unredeemable, unless you received an email from License2Play asking you to participate in a survey. If you had deleted the email, then sorry, no earphones for you :/

So, on the last day of the Clarins Christmas app, I managed to win myself a prize. I went to collect it on the same day I redeemed my earphones. And OMG, they collection date for the Clarins prize was less than a week. So, if I had something on the entire 6 days, wouldn't I have forfeited the prize? Rather ridiculous to set a collection date that is less than a week, at least give the prize winners a full week to 1.5 weeks, in the event they need to change their work schedule or something... -_-

Anyways, I won for myself a UV PLUS HP Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 UVA-UVB/PA+++ Anti-pollution Beige at 10ml. It's actually a BB Cream, and the lady who attended to me was matronly and sweet at the same time. She heartily congratulated me for my win, which brings to mind, I actually prefer matronly SAs at makeup counters as their attitude and temperament is generally nicer than the 20s to 30s SAs. And along the way, I took 2 candies from their candy bowl which was chocked full of candies, sitting atop their counter :D

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: The Clarins Advent Game Christmas app is over, but do go over to Clarins Singapore Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ClarinsSingapore and Like their page to be notified to future contests, promotions and giveaways.

So, one of my facebook friends was the 1st to send me this greeting via Kleenex's Singapore Christmas app. And I thought it was just an e-card of some sorts, which I duly send one back and forgot all about it. Until I received this, and upon opening up the package, realized they are actually giving out sample 3-ply tissue packs with the attached message my friend had written.

Without wasting anymore time, I promptly went back to their app and quickly spammed. Er, I mean send it to anyone and everyone I know who are interested so they can also get the tissue pack sample as well. Let's just hope they got it :/

And here's the Kleenex Ultrasoft 3-play Soft Pack I got from the Kleenex Christmas app. Alongside with 2 lucky draw entry forms to win a limited edition laundry basket with at least S$30 worth of Kleenex products purchase. As I am currently not having a diarrhea, I shall not go into that zone for now..

WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: Go over to Kleenex Singapore Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/kleenexsg, Like their page. Next, click on the link that says X'mas Express. And follow the instructions on sending out your very 1st Kleenex X'mas Express present.

Why not like my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PuNiaosProductReviews to be informed of latest samples I found, which is duly updated? Also includes updates to contests that I've sourced out for you to join. It will definitely save you the trouble of having to hunt them down :)

Samples Received/Redeemed: 17 Dec - 22 Dec 2012

And my humble apologies for not having a blog post yesterday, as I am currently testing out this Dermalogica sample and I would like to be able to use it on my newly-sprouted pimple for a few days before I write up a review on it.

So, here's a list of samples and goodies I've redeemed for the past week. The Sulwhasoo ones are actually kinda nice, but the attitude is practically pathetic, to be honest. I specifically showed up on a weekday to avoid the rush crowds that are prevalent during weekend, thinking that the staff(s) who are manning the Sulwhasoo counter at Tangs Orchard wouldn't be too rushed nor hurried to have to serve walk-in customers while having to attend to prize winners who show up to collect their prizes.

When I walked up to the Sulwhasoo counter, the counter manager (who I believed is called jenny or "Jen-" something) was somewhat all smiles. But as soon as I told her I am there to redeem some stuffs and proceed to show her all 4 of my email print-outs, her attitude took a 360 degree turn. She went from somewhat cordial to really upset and grouchy. And without even looking at all 4 of my email print-outs, she promptly proceeded to inform me that each person is only allowed 1 redemption each. And nary an apologetic smile at all.

Which I duly retorted with "All these emails are under my name, you know? Maybe you want to double check all of them properly??" Which she did, but unwillingly. Next, she told me to "hold on a moment" while she quickly and hurriedly reached for the phone nearest to her and proceeded to make some phone call, god knows for what purpose? Maybe to double check if anyone managed to hack their Facebook app and got 4 items and above when previous prize redeemers only got 1-2 items. And allow me to tell you all that from the "phone call" action onward, whatever this counter manager did is to try and humiliate/embarrass me. Which she unfortunately failed, I've got thick skin towards rude counter managers like her. Ha!

And once she put down the phone, I tried to "play nice" when she need me to fill up some forms for my redemption. I asked her nicely if I just need to fill in my particulars once or 4 times, as I was redeeming 4 items. She never even bothered to reply me at all. And while I was filling up the first long-ass form, she went to grab the samples which I had won honestly and truthfully. And once I filled up all 4 different crappy forms reluctantly, she just gave me all 4 of my samples without even having the slightest ounce of courtesy to explain to me how on earth am I supposed to use them? Or how are the items supposed to be used? She just gave them to me, all stacked up, face facing down, ignoring me completely.

And when I thanked her, she didn't even thank me for my time spent in filling up my info 4 freaking times. And not even once acknowledged my thanks too, just simply ignored me through and through. Which I promptly went back home and feedback to Sulwahsoo's facebook page. And if you think that's the end, wait till you hear this.

A representative from Sulwhasoo Singapore decided to call my cellphone, without even bothering to check with me if I am okay with it. I would very much prefer them to resolve this unhappy episode via their facebook page where everyone can see them. Instead of calling and nobody knowing how they solved it. And my friends who had the good fortune to win stuffs from them more or less encountered their rude staffs as well. Like wow? Is that how Sulwhasoo Singapore try to convert casual window shoppers into staunch believers and dedicated consumers of their product? I don't think so!

And anyways, enough talk from me and to the photos of my goodies I've received and redeemed with rather "thick skin".

So, I got picked to win a Deluxe Sampling Kit from Sulwhasoo Singapore. This is how the packaging looks like.

The items consists of:

• Gentle Cleansing Foam x 2 sachets
• First Care Activating Serum x 1 sachet
• Essential Balancing Water x 1 bottle @ 5ml
• Essential Balancing Emulsion x 1 bottle @ 5ml

A booklet within the Deluxe Sampling Kit.

Detailed instructions within the booklet letting users know what the samples are exactly for.

The scent of this herbal soap is actually quite nice, but the rude counter manager left a sour taste in my mouth without even bothering to explain what are the benefits of using this crap :)

A booklet within the box of herbal soap with detailed explaining on what are the benefits of using the herbal soap and what goes inside it. These booklets and pamphlets are more "friendly" than the actual human staffs, me thinks.
