FREE Welcome Box from Julep

Julep Maven is a Birchbox-esque beauty box, but what’s different about it is that it delivers exactly what you want. Every month you choose what you love from a new collection. You can customize your monthly boxes with what they have in inventory each month. You can pick a pre-selected box if you still love the element of surprise, or you can pick and choose products or even specific colors.

From makeup to nail polish to skincare, Julep Maven offers all sorts of products that are sure to interest you. That being said, Julep Maven is offering a FREE welcome box for new subscribers so you can see what they’re all about.

These beauty boxes tend to be hit or miss for me, but I feel pretty confident about a box where I can choose my own – so I’m totally down to give this one a shot, especially since I can get a feel for what they’re about for FREE! Check it out, let us know what you think!

Free Ocean Mist Cosmetics ‘Try Me Kit’

Happy Monday! And a happy Monday it is with this free sampler kit!

Ocean Mist Cosmetics is giving out one sample kit per customer so that you can see how wonderful mineral makeup is without breaking the bank. Pay only shipping and handling!

The kit includes the following:

  • 3 mineral foundation colors
  • 1 concealer
  • 1 blush
  • 1 finishing powder

There are TONS of color options for each unit in the kit, so you can try the product in the shades that best match your skintone.

Ocean Mist Cosmetics lets you know that these are in tiny jars that aren’t best for application, but that the best play here is to use a makeup pallet or a piece of wax paper for application – and don’t forget to moisturize, or even use a nice Primer beforehand for best results!

I checked out customer reviews and they are all 4-5 of 5 stars with rave reviews! Some people wish the quantity was a bit more generous, but how can you complain when it’s free?!

Try these out – I always love testing products before I pay full price! Let us know what you think!

Everyday Minerals Free Sample Kit

I had to read over this sample page 4 times to confirm that this was free – it is that ‘too good to be true!’ — but it is!

Everyday Minerals is giving out a free sample kit where you choose 5 samples customized to your skin tone and preference & receive 2 samples of their Polished All Over Shimmer and Sunny All Over Shimmer as well as an additional gift from them!

The one caveat here is that you do have to pay shipping – literally just a couple of bucks though. I certainly won’t let this hold me back!

So here’s what you do. You’re brought to a screen to custom build your own kit with 5 drop downs where you can choose 1 of each of the following:

Everyday_Minerals

Everyday Minerals [https://www.everydayminerals.com/store/stories/decisions-decisions/]

Matte Base Samples

Semi-Matte Based Samples

Blush Samples

Face Samples

Jojoba Base Samples

For each, you are shown a palette of colors you can choose from that best match your skin tone. Don’t know your skin tone? No problem, they have a helpful guide that can send you down the right path. They explain how to know your skin type, undertones, and even application tips.

I just filled out my form. I’d highly recommend that you all do too!
