Freebie Friday!

 
Welcome to another weekly Freebie Friday post, where I tell you what free samples and full sized products I received in the mail and how you can get them too. Someone asked me why I do a "Freebie Friday" each week, so I'll tell you.

A while back I listed all the free samples and wins that I had received that previous year and so many people didn't believe that I could have gotten so many free things. So I decided to prove it by taking a picture every week and sharing the sites that I found the links to the freebies at. So now you too can get great free samples coming to your mailbox each week.

  You can find links to great samples at Hey It's Free and Freebie Shark.

What did I receive this week?

2 OraQuick HIV self tests
3 samples of Laura Mercier loose face powder
Obagi Firming Facial Serum

My daughter and I took the hiv home tests and they were both negative. I think it's important to know your hiv status. My late husband was hiv positive and he didn't find out until he going in for surgery on his broken ankle. There are a lots of people out there that have no idea they are positive and end up passing it around to others through sex. It's better to know for sure. So when I saw these free tests, I got them. 

The Obagi facial serum is nice. It made my face feel very soft. I don't know if it's going to help my old skin my it did feel nice. 

The Laura Mercier face powder is nice. I like the one I use and it's affordable so I won't be switching but this is nice. 

Did you receive any freebies this week?

  1. I did not know they have self HIV tests these days. We usually have to take them if we have some surgeries.

  12. I was surprised to see there are at home HIV tests. I had to have a test a few years ago, I think for life insurance, but it may have been for serving as a fireman. Thankfully, it was negative.

    LOL. Maybe if one used it regularly it would be able to reverse time...a little 😉.

  15. I didn't know about those home tests either. Glad to hear you're both negative.

  16. I agree, it's better to know because there are so many treatments for HIV that can make it so it's not even detectable in you and you won't pass it on. Or so I've heard. I like my face powder, too, and it's affordable. I just use a little over my foundation, at any rate. Don't want to look like a pancake face. I've heard good things about Obagi, but haven't tried it.

    1. That is true. If your viral load is low or undetectable, the chances are lower for spreading it to someone else.

  17. I've always wanted to try Laura Mercier but I think it's a bit pricey. Good freebies.
