    Have signed up for these submitting details etc and within a few weeks get a mail asking for my opinion on the products (which I never got).

    Just wondering if it is a marketing ploy or has anyone ever actually received these samples? It's says Ireland and the UK but a bit dubious as to whether they send them here?

    I signed up for a free Garnier BB cream sample a good few months back and received the sample within about 2 weeks.

    as above, it was a really good sample too, 2 little tubes and vouchers for money off.

    I received the BB cream but I also applied for the more recent offer (body lotion?), didn't receive it and got an email last week looking for feedback.

    I've signed up for both* the BB cream and the body lotion and after, maybe 3ish weeks(Could have been 4) I received both :)
    Definitely got the feedback email before I had received the body lotion though.

    *Im a total freebee hunter :o

    I got the bb cream and the body lotion. The body lotion is super and smells divine too.

    Oh I didn't find it sticky at all. My skin is very dry and just drank it in. Lovely and soft now

    I got mine in the post just yesterday too, sent off for it weeks ago! I already use their 7-day hand cream and think it's the best I've ever used. Just tried the free sample on my arms this morning and they already feel great!

    my first impression was it was like putting on suncream, sticky but then sinks in - I certainly would not go out and buy it....

    Mmm, I'm not sure I would buy it either. Is it very pricey? I did buy the Bb cream (cheaper in Northern Ireland) and I am happy with it.
