Perfume samples/trial sizes
Posted By: Queen Puff on 2008-09-16
In Reply to:
I'd like to be able to buy some trial/samples of various perfumes. I've found a few random ones, even free ones, but I'd like to be able to try some of the expensive brands by just purchasing those small samples or trial sizes. So far I haven't found a very large selection of these websites and the ones I have found only had a few fragrances from which to choose. Anyone know where I can go to buy these for a decent price?
Thanks.

perfume samples
Thanks so much!
you can listen to samples of the albums
Go to amazon.com type in Johnny Mathis and pick an album and they will let you listen to samples of every song. Good Luck!
Here's a great site with lots of samples.

Great free skincare samples!!!
Go to the following website (Mario Badescu, which is a very prestigious NYC spa featuring their own natural-ingredient products), take their skin analysis, but DO NOT purchase anything. Make sure and use your regular email address, in about 2-3 days you'll receive an email asking if you would like samples of the products recommended on your analysis. No catch or anything...I received my samples about 5-7 days later in the mail.
These are really great products (lots of celeb clients at the spa), and I thought I'd share this so we can all get some free treats. We certainly deserve them!!!
...and after the trial?
What's your plan for moving upward and onward?
I wonder if you'd allow me to presume on some years of experience by asking you to really examine the core issue here, namely "I still love him".
I'm not saying you don't, but I wonder whether this is actually "partner-for-life" love which absolutely depends on a foundation of mutual respect, which I believe he has thoroughly destroyed.
There seem to be all kinds of feelings that women can have for men that they call "love", but they're not the kind of love that forms the basis for the intimacy on every level that life-partners need.
A woman can have motherly love for a misbehaving partner. A woman can love a false image of a partner. A woman can love what the partner used to be. A woman can love what she believes the partner could be. The list goes on.
When it comes to partner love, all of these others are really counterfeits and/or substitutes, and none of them provide a reason to stay together.
Over the years that I dealt with domestic disputes - and especially those that had a component of substance abuse - I never saw one of them that got better, and they usually deteriorated. That's why I hope you have a plan for moving onward and upward.
perfume
If you like something light and flowery try Beautiful by American Beauty. Kohl's carries it. Smells wonderful. I also like Red Door but that is stronger, as well as I hate to say it but its Britney Spears perfume Curious.
sizes
I found juniors to be about 2 sizes bigger than misses. LIke a size 8 jeans in misses for me came to a size 11 juniors.
Perfume
I have two. Armani for women and Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan.
sizes
I would say it is a 4X or 5X depending on style. Christopher Banks has nice clothes and they don't shrink after the first wash.
No - I did not watch the trial
start to finish, as I had to work. I lived in LA at that time. I think the timing of this was crucial - just after the Rodney King debacle. I think Johnnie Cochran was very charming and had that jury in the palm of his hands. I think the investigation was botched. I'm not an expert on the trial and it's true, I don't know everything about it, but just my opinion. Even if he didn't do it, who in the heck would write this kind of book - it's just distgustingly insensitive to the victim's family, who think he did do it and who were there from start to finish.
Oh, then I am sure you saw the wrong trial
because if you watched from start to finish as I did, I could never have convicted from what I saw. The papers and the trial were so far apart I could not believe it. One case in point - just about the glove- There was a piece of paper, receipt, that showed SOMETHING bought at the store in the accessory department, had no mention of a glove, a scarf, wallet- no numbers to match up and YET, it had his wife as buying a pair of gloves there- that put enough doubt in my mind but I am sure you did not see the same thing or you might have had doubts.
WHAT????? Not talking about the trial
some what now 13 years ago?? and so did I watch it. I am talking about what is happening today or what happened yesterday in Las Vegas. ME AND OTHERS CANNOT SEEM TO GET OVER WHAT A JURY DECIDES AND THEIR WORD IS FINAL??? NEVERMIND.
But why not a trial separation?
DH says he'll take me back if I don't like being separated. I didn't ask him that - he volunteered that. A sister got divorced and she's glad she did it. She remarried. I just want to date, not get married or live with a man at this point.
my most favorite perfume ever!
and i love it!
clothing sizes
I don't know if this would further offer assistance, but I have also been in junior-sized clothing, and I am in my early 40s. I was a size 0 in high school and am a size 1 or 3 now, depending on the brand/manufacturing, which in and of itself is of consideration. For instance, Old Navy only has even sizes, so I would be in a size 2 for that. Misses and juniors are "cut" differently. Misses are cut wider, with juniors narrower from "east to west" with both tops and pants/jeans. At 5ƈ" and 109 pounds, misses would be too wide/baggy for me, even with consideration of a conversion. I think misses and juniors are two different "animals."
Beagles come in two sizes...
There are 13-inch Beagles and 15-inch Beagles. We had a 15-inch Beagle that weighed 65 pounds. He was solid as a rock, and the vet said that he never had seen such a large Beagle in all the years he has been a vet. We now have another 15-inch Beagle that weighs 45 pounds. If you want a small Beagle, get a 13-inch.
What are the engine sizes?
3.3 L engine is more reliable.
clothing sizes
Shoe size 10 or 11
Misses size 16-18
Just in case the other poster's too small for your shopping finds! ;)
Believe me,. if you stiill love him, go to the trial
what will send him to jail.
Do you never ask yourself 'Does he love me?'
The situation is so deteriorated that it is not anymore in your hand to solve it all alone, you need help.
He blames you for everything that went and is going wrong.
You need to wake up and so does he.
If you want to rescue the son and show and guide him what 'justice' is, testify. Only this can and will make you strong.
I am not sure but I have the feeling that you are afraid what he might do to you when he is released from prison? Get immediatley a restraining order.
OJ book and trial, innocent or guilty?
I saw the message about OJ and the book about whether or not he actually did the crime. What I would like to know from the MTers discussing this, did any of you watch the trial from start to finish? The newspapers, television shows, etc. most all the time fabricated parts leaning towards his part in this crime. I saw it all from start to finish, every single day and after that made my own decision regarding the guilt or innocence, not by what I read in the papers or heard on the news. The most important piece of "evidence" supposedly was the glove issue. The trial showed a receipt from a store from accessories. Never ever did they match a scanned number, price, date bought or whatever with the glove buying, but then again I guess most of you watched all the trial?
Phil Spector murder trial. Anyone
been watching that on Court TV? Don't you think Phil Spector, with his "new hair do", looks like Pee Wee Herman???? LOL.
They have been off for the past 2 days due to one of the defense lawyers having to go to the hospital. Kind of interesting to watch trials on T.V.
Curious about perfume/cologne.
I want to buy myself a b-day present, new perfume. I need ideas on some light flowery summery ones, nothing heavy. What's your favorite?
So, what's your favorite perfume today?. ..sm
The original Burberry for me.  Cat
Lily of the Valley perfume...
I forget who makes it, it's a cheap brand and kinda cheezy but my mom always wore it and it reminds me of her and springtime and is my absolute favorite. I always put a spritz or two on when I'm feeling down and it's an instant pick me up.
I'm terrible at guessing sizes, myself...sm
I know it seems impersonal to a lot of people, but if you can't figure out her size, how about a gift certificate? I always ended up taking clothes back whenever I got them for Xmas...and I learned to appreciate the gift certificates, that way I could pick out what I really wanted myself....just a thought, though.....
My favorite perfume is Eternity by Calvin Klein - nm

Ask the Department Stores that sell them. They often have travel sizes. NM

Not weird..old Czech glass perfume bottles, some angels, old

Yes, it was Dove. I agree that seeing older models of varied sizes..
helps us to imagine what clothing will look good on different body types and older/younger people. I know that Lands End used to have a feature called My Model, or something like that. You input your height, weight, measurements, even age, face shape, hair color and style, and you had a more or less realistic model, and the online shopper could then try the Lands End clothes on the model before buying. It was a little painful to be truthful and put in my measurements, and then see my cartoon model stand there in her underwear waiting to be dressed! LOL But I have to say that it was helpful. I tried on clothes that I thought would look great, and they didn't. When it came to a bathing suit, I actually tried on a recommended suit that I never imagined would look nice. It looked nice on the model and even better on me when it was delivered. It wasn't perfect, but it was a handy tool. I should go back and see if they still have that feature on their site.
Give a sniff at the perfume counter! :) Laura Ashley's #1 is nice. nm

I think Chadwick's might carry larger sizes, too. And stop in a bridal shop & at

By trial and error. Lots and LOTS of error!!! -nm
