The fragrance samples I got with any purchase during checkout.

I bought the PureGuardian Spa Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Oil Diffuser(2-pack) from Costco.com about 2 months ago. There was $25 off discount. The current price is $79.99 at Costco. I paid $55 + tax + free shipping.

I was aware some not so good reviews but still decided to give it a try since Costco got good return policies.

I am glad I bought them and have been using them every single day since the day I received them! I am lucky that both of the diffusers function well. I use them mostly as a humidifier.

I like them a lot, because:

• filling a half cup of water is so much easier than filling 1 or 2 gallons of water! That half cup of water can last about 7 hours.
• cleaning a mug size of the container is much easier than a big tank. It’s also much lighter!
• it’s so quiet, you barely notice it’s there
• humidifier is good for me skin

I also bought the Paradise Springs Essential Oils Kit from Costco.com. It was on sale too, probably $10 off, currently $37.99. I use about 3 drops in the diffuser which is strong enough to me.

This Burt’s Bees Hand Salve is a free gift with purchase. I couldn’t finish it because my hands are allergic to something in this little tin. It gave me red and burning rashes.

Poison ivy is 100% off natural, but it’s definitely not good for me!

It’s $8.19 at Target.

I stopped using the Burt’s Bees Hand Salve right away after I got rashes. Then, I started to apply this Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream and washed my hands less often. After one day, 80% of my rashes went away!

It’s currently on sale at Costco – $11.49 (20 oz. + 8.8 oz. Bonus). This is a good stuff!

I bought this Little MAC Pigment in Tan for $5 at Macy’s online store about 2 weeks ago. It was on sale – 50% off!

I bought some non-beauty stuff but didn’t want to spend over $99 for free shipping. So, I picked up this little MAC pigment to get free shipping for my entire order! A good excuse for me to get beauty products!

I made this purchase on 12/21 at Saks online store. I bought the $3 Laura Mercier pencil sharpener just for the free gifts! Shipping is free on any purchase. Here is my previous post about this offer.

This is the free sample of CHANEL SUBLIMAGE LA CRÈME YEUX Ultimate Regeneration Eye Cream 0.1 oz, a $45 value! I am very interested in trying this eye cream, but I doubt I will buy the full size!

Another 4 free samples I chose, they are all fragrances. The more fragrance samples I collect the fewer chances I am buying the expensive full sizes!

I bought the Ciaté Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar from Costco.com 3 weeks ago. I paid $9.99 + tax + free shipping. It’s sold out really quick with this price! This is absolutely a beautiful set! I am very happy with what I got and how much I paid for.

Sephora is still charging full price $59 for it!

I received this free FULL SIZE Dove Men Dry Spray from Walmart a couple weeks ago. There was no purchase necessary. Here is my previous post about this free offer.

It took about two months to get it and I almost forgot about it. I will do it again if Walmart has free offers like that!

I made this purchase about 2 weeks ago at Sephora online store.

Highlights of the purchase:

• used $15 off $50 gift card code sent by Sephora
• used code VERYMERRY to get samples filled beauty bag with $25 purchase
• free shipping on any purchase with Flash 2-day shipping
• 3 free samples with any purchase

I bought Sephora Favorites Skinwonderland for $64, it’s currently sold out at the online store. It’s a $156 value but they are travel sizes.

The SK-II essence water is the one I want to try the most! The travel size is 2.5 oz and $99! It’s 1 oz in the favorites set. I am glad to try it without spending $100!

I paid: $64 – $15 = $49 + tax + free shipping

Here are my free beauty bag and free samples, happy with what I got!

The 3 free samples I received and two on the right are what I chose.

I made this purchase 2 weeks ago at Sephora online store.

Highlights of the purchase:

• a free beautyblender mini with $25 purchase
• free shipping with Flash Free 2-day shipping
• I forgot to pick the 3 samples at checkout again! It felt like I lost $50!

I bought Mustela Bébé Bath Time Bubbles Set for $42.

Here is the free beautyblender mini, it’s about $10 value. I don’t want to buy it, but a free one, YES!
