Mail of the week (July 19th-23th)

L'Oréal Paris Go 360° Clean Deep Exfoliating Scrub sample: A while back ago (in March, actually), I posted a link for a free sample of L'Oréal Go 360° Clean Deep Facial Cleanser and the Scrublet. Now I don't know if this is what I received... but there's no scrublet )= I mean, I'm happy to get to test and review the Deep Exfoliating Scrub, but I've been waiting for the Scrublet because I was so curious about it... They even say on the tube "For the deepest clean, use with The Scrublet". I guess I will have to go and buy myself one.

U by Kotex samples: Now that's strange because I already received U by Kotex samples in the week of May 31 to June 4... but this package is slightly different and I noticed that my mother received one too, so maybe she ordered another one for me. The sample pack includes:

• 1 Barely There Thin Liner

 Caress Whipped Soufflé Blackberry Cream Ultra Silkening Body Wash from Rocket XL to test and review: I was contacted by Laura over at Rocket XL (which is a social marketing agency) to test and review the new Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash. I'm thrilled because Caress products aren't available in Canada, so that's a great opportunity for me!

July 2010 issue of Allure

Mail of the week (and last week)

So instead of writing a post each time I receive something by mail, I have decided to do the following: once a week (generally on Friday or in the week-end), I will do a "Mail of the week" post: I will write about all the items I got by mail in the week.

Let's start by last week:

$5.00 certificate from Revlon: I told them I was really disappointed with the quality of their nail polishes. I never take the time to write to a company when I'm upset about one of their products because most of the time, they don't even care to write back. I'm glad Revlon listened to my complaints.

Coupons from Save.ca: a free Mars chocolate bar and a free box of multi-grains Cheerios.

This week:

Incoco package: as a member of the Super Shimz Program on myshimmer.com, I received my first products to review. I'm not sure if I have heard of Incoco before, but I received a set of French Manicure dry nail appliqués and another in Red Velvet. I can't wait to try these out!

June issue of Allure

Coupons from WebSaver.ca: the only coupon that really interested me was the $2 off any L'Oréal Telescopic Explosion mascara, but with WebSaver, you have to choose at least 6 coupons, so I choose other coupons for L'Oréal products, a $2 off a Secret deodorant my friend Gen always uses, and a rebate on baby things from my friend Sara.

U by Kotex samples: I got:

• 1 CleanWear Regular Pad
• 1 Barely There Liner
• 1 Click Regular Tampon
