What do you do with your sample products?
#giveaways
I have been getting a few emails regarding this topic: "What do you do with sample products that you receive?"
Well, first of all, I love beauty products so I will take what I can get. I love trying new products and I actually wish more brands would give these out so you can always try them before you buy. And to answer your question, I keep all of them and put them in travel cosmetics cases like these.
Find out what I do with them after the break!
I most specially like samples that come in miniaturized bottles instead of sachets for shampoos, conditioners and body washes. Specially that small hairspray! Isn't that the cutest thing?
So after I put them in travel cases like these, I store them in my closet away from direct sunlight and just take them when I travel. I am 34 years old but I still do a lot of sleepovers at my sister's house or my mom's house when hubby is away on business. I also still have sleepovers with my cousin!
Some people throw out sample sizes or give them away thinking that they won't be able to use them or assess a product properly because of the small quantity of product that is in the container, but for me, it's the most convenient for travelling! Plus, these small bottles and sachets have at least 3 uses so that's good enough.
Most of my relatives ask me too what I have in my bag that they can try -they ask for products when they forgot to bring something. I have plenty to go around!
Plus, it's messy!
With sachets, I do the same thing. I keep everything in a case so that I can just take everything with me. When the cases get too full and may be too heavy to bring for travel, I just choose which ones to bring for my trips. Lately, I haven't really been away from home for more than a week so I can take everything with me.
When it's time for me to go home and a sachet still has some product in it, I do not keep it, I just toss them out. I make it a point to use up everything though. One sachet is good for about 3 uses so it goes a long way.
So this month, I am giving away a Clinique Sample Box -Love for Samples! This is to encourage more people not to throw away samples, and use them for travel! It beats having to transfer everything in bottles and risk the chance of spoiling the products.

What do you do with your samples?

I usually keep them in my makeup drawer and then use them up one by one. I am also not sensitive to skin care so I get to try different brands without having issues. :)
ReplyDeletei keep sample product.. separate the sachet samples (they're more lightweight!) because i can use them when i travel to our province (good for a day or two stay) samples are staple on my drawer because they're more convenient to bring..
ReplyDeleteI love collecting samples and I believe that product are more effective in their trial sizes
ReplyDeleteI always separate my samples, sachets and sampler bottles/tubes. Sometimes I keep it to make sure I have samples or small bottles for a trip. So I do not bother to bring my huge kikay kit. While some samples that I have, I let my mother or sister use it, since some samples are not for my skin type. Whenever I love those samples I received, I take note of that product and make it to my TO-BUY-LIST or WISH-LIST.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with your samples? I will try them all!
ReplyDeleteI use them right away :) i get too excited trying trying new products :)
ReplyDeleteI also keep the samples for travel, but I don't travel or go overnight all that often. That's why they tend to pile up! I never throw anything away, though. There are times that I'd use samples at home just to keep my "stock" fresh. Haha. And in fairness, the whole generosity of brands with samples really works. It's happened on several occasions that I've gone back to the store to purchase a full-sized version because I liked using the samples at home. Testers are nice, but it's different to be able to try a product out for a week or more.
ReplyDeleteI also like to keep samples and make it a point to use them up! Of course I don't get as much as you do, but with SampleRoom, BDJ, and Glamourbox there's plenty that find their way to my stash! I also got a ton of samples when I travelled to Korea and went a little shop crazy at Missha, Nature Republic, and Face Shop. They really load your bag up with samples whenever you buy something. I've found some pretty great stuff through samples...
