Beauty & Makeup: Free Samples

What if I told you I have an entire drawer in my bathroom filled with designer and premium beauty samples – and it cost me nothing?! It's true, free makeup samples are plentiful and are free for anyone who signs up. Here at MySavings.com we post all the latest free makeup samples that you can request.

It's easy to get free makeup samples in the mail. Below are my tips for getting started today.

Tip #1: Keep Your Emails Organized
Almost every free sample offer requires you to include your email address, so having a separate email address you use strictly for this purpose will allow you to easily keep track of the free sample offers you've requested or signed up for. Another option is to create a separate folder in your personal email where you can keep track of any free makeup samples that are sent to your email.

Tip #2 Check MySavings for Free Makeup Samples Often
MySavings is constantly posting free samples, so it's a good practice to not only sign up for our newsletter, but also check our site multiple times throughout the day and night. All free makeup samples have a limited amount available, so they can sometimes go very quickly.

Tip #3: Be First to Know with Free Sample Alerts
Popular free makeup samples can run out fast so getting alerts is your best chance at scoring these super popular samples. Sign up to receive email and text alerts when new samples are available. Join the MySavings email list and you'll be sent every sample we have posted in the past 24 hours. Sign up for our MySavings Telegram Channel for instant alerts sent right to your phone or computer so you never miss out.

Tip #4: Connect and Share With Others
Join the exclusive MySavings Facebook Group and Facebook Page for more savings tips and to connect with other deal-savvy shoppers. This is also a great way to let other free makeup sample hunters know when you receive your samples in the mail. Follow us on Instagram for behind the scenes videos getting free samples in-store.

Become a Product Tester
Sign up to become a product tester and score makeup for free. L'Oreal Consumer Panel and Conde Nast Sampling Program are two testing companies you should sign up for. You'll receive free makeup samples and full sized products to test and then review. Your feedback helps these companies improve their product and packaging.

Score Free Drugstore Makeup
You can score free makeup from brands like CoverGirl, Maybelline and Rimmel from stores like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid. You can accomplish this by combining a high value makeup coupon with a store sale. We often post free mascara, foundation and lipstick deals with coupons that you can clip digitally with your phone. You can even score CVS Extrabucks and Walgreens Cash back and make these deals a money-maker.

Request Free Sample Boxes
Companies like Sampler, and PINCHme allow you to actually get free beauty samples by simply signing up. It's important to fill out your profile survey so you are matched with makeup samples when they become available. After you receive your free makeup samples you'll leave your honest review. If you like trying new products, this is a great way to get free makeup samples of mascara, lipstick, foundation and more. Read more about the Best Free Sample Boxes to sign up for.

Redeem Free Makeup Sample with Minimum Store Purchase
Often times, certain stores will offer a free makeup sample (or other freebies) if you meet a minimum purchase requirement. If you shop a certain store (Sephora or Ulta, for example) frequently, try and coordinate your trip so you spend the most amount in one visit (versus several smaller visits) to be able to redeem a free makeup sample offer.

Shop Department Stores with Free Makeup Samples
Stores like Nordstrom, Macy's, Dillard's, and even Ulta and Sephora always have a makeup department where customers can try new products and get their makeup done professionally. Often, if you visit one of these stores and have your makeup done, they'll give you free makeup samples for the products you tried. You can also just stop by and ask if they have any new makeup samples and they may be happy to give you some with no strings attached!

Sign Up for Your Favorite Makeup Brand's Reward Program
If your favorite makeup brand has a loyalty program or newsletter, sign up! These communications are hotbeds for exclusive deals and offers, including opportunities to get free makeup samples. Ulta and Sephora have very rewarding programs and will even give you free makeup on your birthday.

Free Makeup Samples on Social Media
Keep your eye out for free makeup sample ads on social media. They usually show up in your newsfeed or story and only require you to click a button and fill in a form with your mailing info. I have some tips to help these free samples show up for you: Follow the brand on their social media pages and interact with the brand by liking and commenting on at least 10 different posts on their pages. Search for the brand and product in Google and scroll down through the results. Then just keep a close eye on your newsfeed when you're scrolling through your social media and you'll start seeing the ads for beauty freebies.

What brands give free makeup samples?
Score 100% free samples of drugstore, premium and designer makeup. Some of the makeup brands we post free samples of includes Lancome, Huda Beauty, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Fenty Beauty, MAC, Morphe, Urban Decay, CoverGirl, Maybelline, L'Oreal and even NYX. Types of makeup you can expect includes mascara, foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick and more. Whenever we spot beauty freebies, we work to share them with you right away.

Are these free makeup samples really free?
Yes! The free makeup samples MySavings shares are free. No shipping costs and no credit cards required. Sometimes we post about beauty freebies with purchase at a store but we include all the details, so you know what to expect.

Does MySavings send free makeup samples?
No, MySavings shares links directly to the companies that are providing the free samples. The beauty company offering the sample has full control on when they send the samples out in the mail. Occasionally free makeup samples do run out of stock if they are very popular.

Do I have to take surveys?
Most free makeup samples do not require any surveys. To request these samples all you must do is fill in your mailing info. If there is an offer that requires a bit more information or survey to see if you qualify for the sample, we always include that info on the free sample offer page.

How long does it take to receive the free makeup samples?
Most samples will arrive within 4-8 week, but I often find the time frame really is dependent upon the company. I've gotten free samples as soon as a week after signing up and others that even took several months to arrive. Patience really is key during this time.

Is there a limit to how many free makeup samples I can request?
Most free makeup samples are a limit of one, but not always. Sephora, for example, has a limit of two free samples per order or transaction. MySavings will always include all of the relevant information you need to know, including if you can request more than one beauty freebie.
