Free Target summer beauty bag.

Wow, it seems like Target just did their spring beauty bag promotion (although that one was kind of a mess, what with the random-promo-codes-on-receipts business) and here we are again with the summer beauty bag. It's a cute patterned bag that works great for a travel makeup bag, a purse pouch, or a discreet carrier for lady products, and they usually come stuffed full of beauty samples. Sign up for yours today!

Free sample of Garnier Sleek & Shine.

Garnier's been pretty active with the freebies this week. Here's the latest: a free sample of Sleek & Shine, which promises 3 days of sleek shininess in 97% humidity. That's basically Seattle all the time, so obviously this is something I'm interested in.

Free sample of Garnier BB Cream.

No, I don't really know what the BB stands for, but apparently this skin cream by Garnier works just like Photoshop! Judging from the picture, anyway. Sign up for your free sample, and if you come out looking like a model, let me know so I can buy up their entire stock.

Facebook: Target Spring Beauty Bag returns!

If you were bummed out by last month's weird Target beauty bag giveaway, where apparently random purchases would spit out a promo code on your receipt that you had to look for and enter online in order to sign up for a sample bag blah blah blah... well, it's much easier this time.

This time the beauty sample bag giveaway is through Facebook, and it seems to be running slow right now, so check back until you get through.

Free sample of Garnier 2-in-1 Wrinkle Reducer.

Well, Garnier has been busy! Here's another free sample from them — this one for a 2-in-1 Wrinkle Reducer. I hope there's enough to spackle directly into my frown lines.

This is hosted by Target, so if you didn't request your free Gevalia coffee sample yet, you can do that on the same page. And if you've been shopping at Target this month, check your receipts in case you have the special promo code that qualifies you to claim a Spring Beauty Bag, also on this page.

Facebook: Free sample of Garnier B.B. Cream.

What does B.B. stand for? Well, we'll just have to come back today at noon to find out, when Garnier is offering free samples of B.B. Cream on its Facebook page. You'll have to "like" them and then fill out a form to get your sample. B.B.!

Free Bare Escentuals SPF 15 foundation sample.

So maybe you're not one of the lucky few who are jetting off to tropical destinations this spring. Still, SPF is important even on those overcast days! Keep yourself protected with a free Bare Escentuals SPF 15 foundation sample and mini-brush. ($1 shipping fee does apply.)

It's almost as good as going somewhere sunny enough to actually require sun protection. I guess.

Free samples of Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser and Pore Strips.

Sign up for some free samples of Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser and Pore Strips. Generally I try to avoid ice on my face, at least in winter, but I guess Biore knows what they're doing. And who doesn't love those delightfully gross pore-junk-extracting nose strips?

Awww, you've been so busy and thoughtful this holiday season, running around getting gifts and sending cards and baking cookies for others... why not get something for yourself? Even better, it's free!

Sign up for your free purse-size Essence of Beauty hand cream at CVS, and they'll email you a coupon within a few minutes. Choose from Sunflower, Japanese Garden, or Citrus Coconut scents. Register by Dec. 26 and use your coupon by Dec. 30!

Free sample of Dial NutriSkin Replenishing Lotion.

All these super-long, super-fancy product names are the bane of my freebie-blog existence. Not only does every product have to have like four adjectives in front of its name, but then they use bogus non-words like "NutriSkin," which to me sounds like a soy-milk skin forming on your granola-hemp cereal. Do they think we won't buy it if it doesn't have an eight-word-long name?

Anyway. Get a free sample of Dial body lotion. See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Free Allure beauty giveaways every day at 9:00 am PDT!

OK, I admit I wasn't going to post this at first because the freebies didn't sound that interesting, but it's my bad for not looking more closely at it. But you still have 3 days' worth of freebies to get! Each day at 9:00 am PDT, Allure is giving away a freebie to the first 10,000 people; today's is a Secret Natural Mineral Deodorant. Tomorrow is an Olay soap bar and then Friday is an Olay SPF moisturizer.

It's a little hectic right now as their servers get overloaded, but 10,000 is a lot of people, so just give it a minute and keep refreshing and you should get yours, stinky.

Free sample of L’Oreal Youth Code day/night cream.

Get a free L’Oreal Youth Code day/night cream sample — if you're fast! This sample may go quickly and the page can be slow-loading due to high traffic, but it worked for me, so I guess I'll get to cling to my youth just a teensy bit longer.
