Sample Central - Festival City Dubai

I visited the new store 'Sample Central' yesterday. If you have not heard about it it is the store where you get products for FREE! Well you have to 'pay' for the products you take by reviewing it. Simple!

I registered online at Sample Central then filled in a few things about myself. I booked an appointment to go into the store which is conveniently located in Festival City. When I arrived I paid 100 dirhams for my membership for a year.

A group of us had to wait till the store opened at 5pm. We were then escorted in and they scanned our membership cards and gave us a shopping basket. We were then free to roam around the room testing out products and choosing the 5 products we wanted to take home.

You start with Bronze membership which entitles you to take five products home to review. Yesterday they had a few items you could take which did not add onto the five so all in all I took home 8 products. Some things were really useful but some things I just chose to make five.


                                  I took home:

                      Persil washing detergent
                      Some Swiss biscuits
                      Vichy cream set
                      Body moisturiser
                      Vichy Shampoo
                      Heinz tomato ketchup chilli flavour
                      2 packs of Tic Tacs
                      Canderel sweetener


You can try products in the store too which you must review. I tried the massage chair which was really relaxing and I made coffee using a new coffee machine.


Although some of the things I took were really random...it was free. There were other things too...hair dye, stain remover, deodorant, razors, crisps and so on.

Once I had all my products I took it to the till to be scanned, they put it into a bag and off I went. I actually nearly got my purse out to pay!
I think once I have reviewed everything I am free to book an appointment to go back to the store to try more products. It was a really interesting experience and I can't wait to go back! Now I am going to relax with a nice cup of tea and my Swiss biscuits!
