Squeeze Every Last Drop Out of Those Free Makeup and Skin Care Sample Packets With This Little Tip

March 12th, 2015 by Karen 11 Comments

Just a really quick tip to eke out every last drop from those free cream and liquid sample packets you get from beauty counters.

I wish I’d discovered this sooner, but better late than never.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. So…I played a little hooky today. Sort of. I just had to get out of the office because Tabs was driving me absolutely crazy, so I went to the mall, had a late lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, got a pair of shoes, watched some dogs and people…and ran into a friend who was also playing hooky. 🙂 (What’s up, Bernadette!?)

    I’m not sure how I’ve read your blog so long without having seen your videos, but… you are so amazingly adorable. I’m interested to see how this trick works – and jealous of your hooky day! 😉

    Great tip! I haven’t tried to use that trick. Usually I just tear the package open and most often than not, the product dries up or whatever after I first use it. 🙁

    I like to keep the little jars that Sephora gives you with custom samples, clean it out when I’m done, and put my sample packets in there. That way I don’t have an open sample sitting out, it stays airtight, and I know exactly how much of the sample I have left. Plus, this stops me from opening too many samples at once, since I only have a few of those jars.

      This is what I do also! I ended up buying a ton of little empty jars on a packaging site a long time ago so I could save samples, and then I use little paper dots and write what it is on each one.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
