So I am obsessed with samples, and free stuff. And no I am not a hoarder, I just like to try things out. Samples are the best way to do so. That’s why I never miss a Target beauty bag. This summer one just arrived today. And bag wise – that’s my favorite one ever! Love the vintagy looking print and the feel of it!
I am really excited about the sunscreen with SPF 70! How awesome is that! Now the shampoos and the lip butter from Revlon are okay, the coupon book is pretty good. But it seems like they have coupons for the same products in every beauty bag, so a lot of times I end up not using any of those, and well that’s just a waste of paper 
Now I also got my Essie nail polish in “Bikini so Teeny” last week. And I got it through Klout. If you don’t know what Klout is – check it out here. It’s kind of a social meter, but the higher your score is, the more perks you get! So Essie nail polish was one of them!
It stays on pretty well, and when I was looking at the nail polish stand at Target today, they were all sold out of this color! I guess it’s popular 
And finally a few more things – a while back I signed up for L’Oreal Consumer Testing, and I wish I could tell you how I did it, but I don’t remember. I think if you just google it, it might lead you to the link and let you sign up. But it basically lets you test make up or fill out surveys, and then the company sends you products in return for the time you’ve spent on it all. So after having completed 5 informational surveys, I was sent the new Garnier moisturizer + serum, and the Lancome mascara.
I haven’t tried the mascara yet, but I am really looking forward to it, because it has a vibrating wand! But the moisturizer, I might just have to give it away.
As for the two middle objects – well as you may have guessed, I got them from work. And I do love the chubby stick! It’s amazing and great for the summer. I haven’t tried Even Better yet, but I have high hopes for this products in terms of removing my acne scars Yeah baby!
If you have questions on how to get free stuff, just leave me a comment and I’ll try and help as best as I can! Bye for now,

Hey, so you basically want to sign up for freebies notifications on a website like sweetfreestuff.com – and it lets you pick and choose the freebies. Since I am a sucker for beauty products, I always sign up for beauty samples – a lot of times sweetfreestuff.com will link to a certain brands FB page, that’s where you fill out the form and then wait for the sample to be shipped to you. My other advice would be to sign up for consumer testing/affiliate programs – some brands have them, but I know that a lot of them don’t take new members now. And finally I also work in the beauty industry, so that’s where a lot of free stuff comes from, but before that I just used the website above
I hope that helps!
