Makeup is a lot of fun to experiment with. But it is not a lot of fun to waste money on makeup products that you use once and never use again. We've all done it; we've bought that lipstick because the color looked so pretty, but somehow just didn't look the same when we put it on. To try to save money this year, Ive vowed to only make purchases of makeup Ive tried before. How do I expect to do that? I plan to find makeup samples to try before I invest in the product.
Free makeup samples are often available; you just have to know how to find them. Makeup samples are readily available and most of them are free of charge. The number thing you can do to find yourself samples is to ask. When you are at cosmetic counters and you see something that you think you might like, ask if they have any samples of the product.
Just because you are technically supposed to make a purchase of a product to get the samples, doesn't mean they might not be willing to give you one for free if you just ask. Whats the worst that can happen? If they know you are truly interested in trying out a color or product, but you aren't willing to spend the money on a full size one, they might be willing to give you a free sample hoping it will bring them business in the future.
If you don't have a nearby department store that has makeup counters to go to, you can still get your hands on makeup samples. The World Wide Web is going to be your best source of information. All you have to do is go to a search engine like Google and enter makeup samples. You might be surprised at how many websites pop up that are willing to offer samples of all kinds of makeup and hygiene products.
The company may have you fill out a survey. Sometimes they do this so that they can gather information about their target market. They are more interested in the demographic information - like general shopping habits, age and interests of the people who like their products.
Once in awhile, you'll come across a survey that is pretty long. I would say that you should stick to the shorter, easier surveys unless you are filling out a survey for a product you really want. Even though you are getting something free out of it, your time is still valuable and you should make sure your time is well spent.
So if you're like me and you've been disappointed by makeup purchases in the past, consider a New Years resolution to spend money only after you've tried a sample of the product. Then you'll know you really are getting your money's worth. - 15438
