CVS Beauty Day Giveaway #3.



I popped into a CVS store to grab a tube of toothpaste last week and there was a Beauty Day Giveaway going on. These spontaneous events aren't an event as such anymore it seems, it's just a random day when CVS have some free samples and coupons packaged up for you to grab either with or without purchase.
It's always worn while to pick up one of these bags - after all they are free, you don't even have to buy anything to get one for Pete's sake!
The latest one had $14.00 worth of coupons, a bunch of samples and a travel sized item.

Coupons.
$2.00 off any Maybelline face product.
$2.00 off any MUA product.
$4.00 off Centrum Vitamints.
$4.00 off Amlactin Body Lotion.

Samples.
Two samples of Vitamints in the flavours 'Cool' and 'Wintergreen'. I have sampled these before and although I'm not one for mints they are a great idea - a daily multivitamin that comes as a mint!
I
Maybelline Dream Velvet Gel Whipped Foundation in the shade 'Classic Ivory #20'. I'm not a fan of a matte skin finish as I think they can look rather flat in daylight but I am generally impressed by Maybelline products so am interested to try this out. It promises to be hydrating and the fact that it is whipped makes me think that it will be lightly textured...

From Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula there are two face and one body samples.
For the face there is a sample of their Cleansing Oil and a sample of their Facial Oil. Both are rose hip scented ( they don't contain rose hip oil however) and the facial oil contains retinal and Vitamin C.There is also a sample of Palmer's Cocoa Butter Body Lotion, an old classic that I have never tried!

Another lotion I haven't tried is Amlactin Body Lotion.  I have to confess I haven't even heard of this, but it says it is for very dry skin and contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid.

I recently tried to make a dent in my stash of haircare samples and I did a pretty good job so I'm happy to get more shampoo and conditioner samples.
From Carol's Daughter there is Black Vanilla Sulphate Free Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner. I have used hair masks by Carols Daughter before and they are highly fragranced and smell wonderful so I am keen use these and see if they smell delicious also.
There is also shampoo and conditioner from Shea Moisture, Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse that I recently received in a Target box. These also smell lovely - fresh, fruity and summery. I also very much like the fact that Shea Moisture samples always offer twice as much conditioner as shampoo, as I always use more conditioner than shampoo. 

Travel Sized.
I'm not a huge fan of in shower moisturisers but will give them another chance with this 2oz travel sized Jergen's Wet Skin Moisturiser. This is another beachy smelling product scented with Monoi Oil.

I'm always pleased to get some new brands and products to try out especially if they are free, aren't you?
