Has it ever happened to you, when you have truly believed in something and then you turn out to be wrong? Well, something happened to me a while back on the subject of selling blogger product samples, or some people would call ‘freebies’ that these generous brand would send us. Ever since I started receiving products (even back when I was a freelance artist for Lancome back in 2004 and get truck loads of Lancome and other L'Oreal products) I have never sold them ever, or even entertained the notion, but apparently it’s something some people do. Today I wanted to explain why I don’t (and possibly start a discussion with you fellow bloggers out there -or some readers), and believe me when I say that there is no judgement here because we are not all wired the same. I’d like to take the opportunity to express why I personally don’t think it’s a good idea.

Just the other day in an event, a beauty blogger friend of mine were in deep discussion about if selling PR samples were a GO or NO GO. She and I share the same no-go opinion about selling products we have received to blog about. Again, I am not here to judge, that decision lies entirely up to you. After discussing this with my friend, I felt that it's a good topic to open up! So let's, shall we?
