Eureka Moment: Samples for Free? Try Before You Buy!

I have always been a strong believer of trying out samples first before you purchase their full sized versions!  My first splurge was the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil in which I tested the product several times before I swiped my card for the huge bottle!  I went back and forth the Shu Uemura counter and asked to try their tester for God knows how many times!  *laughs*  I went inside the washroom and gently massage the oil onto my face and washed it off!  I walked around Rustan's while touching my skin waiting for allergic reactions.  It was the first few splurges I made for myself I won't forget!  And it was all worth it!

Why can't we get samples for free?  Why do we have to muster the courage to go up to sales ladies to ask for samples and most of the time, we can't even get them?

EUREKA MOMENT!

That's where companies who specializes on collating samples for us to try are here!  One of the brand that caught my interest is called Sample Room.  Sample Room believes in: "Samples should be free!" Don't we all agree on that? *huge nod*


" Sample Room is a sampling site that banks on the power of free product sampling.  It is an online community that changes your beauty-shopping pattern;  and an interactive community where your opinions matter and where all beauty lovers are valued."
