The one word that strikes a chord in every Singaporean’s heart – free. Free samples, free memberships, free delivery – you name it, we’re definitely keen. We’ve recently discovered an easy way to get free samples from far-flung lands, countries like Japan and France. From skincare products to health food, here’s what we have found:
Every beauty junkie will be more than pleased once they see skincare and beauty brands like these. Products you’ll need to score? For one, the Laneige Layering Cover Cushion & Concealing Base which comes with a 2-in-1 cushion that’s first of its kind – it comes with a cushion and concealer.
But honestly, we’ll be more than happy with other pampering skincare samples too, like the L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Skin Activating Ferment Pre-Essence and Naruko Taiwan Magnolia Brightening and Firming Mask. They all come in compact travel-sized miniatures and sachets, so there’s no need to lug your entire shelf of skincare products around with you on your travels.
Renowned French brand Uriage is also offering up 4 different products from their latest launch: Age Protect Multi-Action range that consists of Intensive Serum, Fluid, Cream (SPF30), and Eye Contour.
Other free skincare and beauty products you can get your hands on include:
But it’s not just all about skincare: there’s also a range of other products, such as F&B samples. They even have a range of locally-handcrafted blends from The Tea Story, with flavours like Jasmine Creme Brulee, Spiced Appletini, and Peach Paradise. Each sample packet comes with 3 silken tea bags.
Another popular choice is the i-Kirei Collagen Jelly, a lightweight jelly that comes in convenient strips – each has 500mg of collagen and has no fat whatsoever. This comes in flavours like Cranberry and Peach, along with others like Lutein QQ, Chia Seed, and Collagen C.

Whether it’s working or cramming for exams, we’re often stuck in the same chair for hours. The end result? Aching shoulders and a stiff back. Try pslove’s heat pads for some quick pain relief. They’ve got both BackHeat for backaches and NeckHeat for neck and shoulders – both use RealHeat technology to soothe any aching pangs.
There’s also a MenstruHeat option for menstrual cramps!
Here’s the trick to getting free samples: Sample Store where you’ve got a vast variety of different brands to choose from. Besides testing out brands before buying, it’s free membership so as soon as you sign up, you can redeem up to 8 different free samples! It all comes neatly packed in Sample Store’s iconic packaging too, in cyan and fuchsia boxes or zip lock pouches.
