Let’s be honest, when I open a long awaited package, I already know what I ordered. It’s more exciting to find surprise samples!

Testing a new brand of makeup is always risky and a sample can mean a huge difference in terms of helping you pick what to spend your money on. Of course many companies include samples in your packages already, but if you’re specifically looking for particular makeup brands then check out these websites.
