Zoya does some version of this sale every year, and while it's a good deal, I kind of hate the way they promote it. According to them, you get 4 free polishes of your choice (some products excluded), but you have to pay "promotional shipping" of $15, which is higher than their usual shipping cost. So really you're getting 4 polishes for $3.75 each with free shipping. At least that seems to me a better way to think about it. Great deal, still--last time it was only 3 polishes for $15!
Details here. Use code 4YOU. Ends Jan. 13.
Are you going to get in on it? Zoya is probably my favorite nail polish brand. You can see some of my swatches in my Zoya tag.

Free samples of No. 4 and Schwarzkopf hair care products
The No. 4 site is running very slowly now, so you might have to refresh a few times and be patient to get it to load. The Schwartkopf samples are through their Facebook page.

Free Lancome foundation sample
As part of my plan to share more deals, I also want to share good freebies when I come across them. Unfortunately, free samples seem to be rarer these days than they used to be. Here's a potentially promising one for Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24Hr. I suspect it's just a card sample, but maybe we'll get luckier than that. I know you can test it at the department store, but this way you can stay home and not put on a bra.
And here's a sample of L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner. These are usually generously sized for foil packets. Good for traveling or when you get sick of the bottle of whatever is in your shower and want a change for a day or two.

Never Buy a Razor Again (Or: Where to Get Free Shit)
Disclosure: Affiliate link.
At this point, I have 5-6 brand-new razors in my cabinet, and I didn't pay for any of them. Since I only shave a couple of times a week, those will last me months. Some of them came with refill blades, too. (And remember to use this technique to keep the blades sharp twice as long.) Razors are one of the easiest things to get free samples of online, next to shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, and hand cream. Remember when I showed you my hoard of bath and beauty junk? Most of that was free. I have probably a year's worth of free shampoo and conditioner in there.
Everyone knows about requesting free samples online, right? Or do I only think that because it was one of the first things I did when we got the internet at school in around 1996? I like free things, I like getting (non-junk) mail - perfect. Either way, maybe I can give you at least one source here that you're not already aware of.
Of course you're "paying" for these products with your own time, whatever it takes to find the samples and fill out a form to request them. But if you tend to sit around playing on your computer/device during your downtime anyway, you could do this and get some things in return. You also have to provide some of your information to these companies. I can't emphasize this enough: make yourself a dedicated email address to use for things like this. You will get spam. You might also want to sign up for a Google voice phone number to use. Don't put in a fake phone number - I got multiple calls every day for a few months from spammy sources when someone used my phone number to sign up for something. Not cool.
But enough lecturing, here's where to get the free shit:

Websites for the cheap as fuck
I spend probably way too much of my time looking at deal/sale/shopping/free stuff websites. But that makes me an expert! So here are the best ones I’ve come across. If you know of others, please pass them along! I’ll update this post when I collect more.
Note: I am going to use my referral link for the sites that have them. If you don’t want to use it for whatever reason (though it would be just lovely if you did), google these instead.
