    How to Get Free Beauty Product Samples

  1. Step 1

    Try out all the methods you can from the comfort of your couch. Many companies will offer free beauty product samples with purchases. Check out your favorite beauty supplier first for special deals. Such companies as Estee Lauder, Clinique and Bobbi Brown offer terrific gifts-with-purchase multiple times per year, so check out their sites for details.

  2. Step 2

    Check the major makeup sites for details. Usually, companies have at least one beauty product they are trying to push. They will give away periodic free beauty product samples and mail them directly to you. Click directly on the manufacturer's website for details.

  3. Step 3

    Surf to Walmart.com for samples. Their site features constantly changing free product samples. Most of them are beauty and haircare items. Click the link below for details.

  4. Step 4

    Do a basic google search for samples. Using keywords such as "free beauty samples" or "free makeup samples" will yield you hundreds of great results. Just remember to stay away from sponsored sites, as they usually are just credit card signup gimmicks.

  5. Step 5

    Head on out to your local cosmetics counter. Chances are if you express interest in a product, they'll have some samples on hand. You increase your chances if you buy some necessities while you are there. Your chances for free beauty samples are better yet if you sit for a makeover and buy some products. If no one's offering up the goods, just ask. Just don't overdo it or you may miss out completely.

  6. Step 6

    Check out the free beauty samples that are sold as "bonuses" to full size products. Companies will often attach trial sizes to their full size products as an incentive to buy and re-buy. Search them out for a freebie!

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember that even samples aren't always free. Weigh the costs against benefits before buying.
  • Beware of "freebie" websites that want personal information. They should never ask for a form of payment unless you're purchasing something. A mailing address should be all that's necessary for samples.
