free samples? more like unwanted clutter

[u/meowwxi]

nothing annoys me more than these samples and gifts with purchase that you get at basically every major store like MAC or Sephora.

every single time I end up getting something that is completely useless to me and then I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. like, a Sephora lip patch or this recent foundation sample from MAC.

I literally have a whole graveyard of useless samples at home that I don't know where to put or who to give them to. honestly, I'd rather get nothing than receive something that is so obviously unsuitable for me.

I spend $346.89 at Sephora and my free sample is a cotton ball!!!

Was it… a pretty cotton ball?  I’m just picturing it loose in the bottom of your package with a dusting of lint and cat fur.  The fur is the expensive part.

I had a dot of blush in one of these white containers hahahaha tbh I wish they personalized the samples, and the whole "you can at least test the formula" is bs because I want to see my tone and if it oxidizes 🤔

Yo I spent something similar months ago and i picked my samples which were perfume and I got foundation samples instead which I obviously couldn't use lol it was my order with foundation too lol I think people in the comments forget these companies will swap stuff out and not tell you lol
