Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
I have some stuff to return at the mall tomorrow so I thought I'd make my way around a few makeup counters to see if I can score some samples. I'm not supposed to be spending much money right now, so I thought this might be a fun, and yes, very chintzy way to have fun at the mall.
Tacky, yes, but fun fun fun. My girlie is going with me. Knowing us we'll probably end up buying anyway, but I still love collecting those samples.

I usually try it at the department stores, mostly with moisturizers and such. I say something like, "Well, I think I'd like this stuff, but I hate to spend so much without trying it first, do you have some samples?"
Yes, I am shameless.;D
Re: Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
My mother is the queen of getting samples!!! Nothin' wrong with that ;D
(when i first read this post, I thought you were going to a sample sale! I was jealous)
Re: Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
another thing is to say that the last makeup you bought you had a mild but unattractive allergic reaction to it a week in-- then ask if it's possible to get a sample to test it out.

devious... I love it!
Re: Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
Oooh- I'm gonna use that line!!! Thanks!
Re: Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
So which counters at which department stores tend to give the most samples? I dont wanna ask everyone..hehe
Re: Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
I got bunches from the Kiehl's counter, L'Occitane gives out several, the perfume lady at Saks gave me like 10 perfume samples..............I made out like a bandit.
I did, of course, spend a bunch of dough on other things, so I guess I'm not a total tacky loser. haha.
Re: Going sample shopping tomorrow....hee hee
Nordstrom's absolutely will give out samples of just about anything-makeup, fragrance,etc. I also ask @ Sephora, but this one bee-otch acted like I was asking for her eyeteeth or something. I haven't been to Macy's, but, it may be worth a try. Sometimes Ulta has a sample bin by the cashier, for the taking (skin care, hair care, perfumes, etc., lately they've had Murad samples by the brand name skin care ) I am definately a sample junkie.
