That has already happened to me. A few months ago, there was beauty product on FB. I went to the website to take a look, they offered a free one month sample for just shipping. I bought and used it.

It's a great product and every month, I receive the moisturizer and the tightening serum for 99 cents to cover the shipping. Which, I don't believe even covers shipping. I'm pretty sure shipping charges are more than 99 cents but that's what they bill. I'd glady do it again for a product that I like and really do use.

After a year??
I'm 64! I don't even buy green bananas!

Ok, I don't know what means..lol But I think the skincare company that sends me the products wants real opinions from women who have been using their product long term because no skincare product works immedately. If the promise is that "with time" you'll see the benefits.....that doesn't mean 2 or 3 weeks. That's what I think anyway.

if you belong to some of the qvc facebook groups there are often giveaways when a vendor is being featured......everything from lug bags to jai jewelry to beauty products to clothing. the vendors and reps are very kind to provide products for these giveaways.

Depending on what it was, yes, I'd do it.

No if it has a string attached no matter the product.

If it's a free sample with no strings, then yes. Grab and go.

@SilleeMee

Sure, I would - if the product was of interest to me. I’ve done it. As long as it is an honest review they ask for, I’m fine with it. Getting something for free doesn’t make it good.

@chrystaltree It means onemay not live long enough to see the bananas ripen.

It's dark humor.
