MAGICAL FOUNDATION?! |Review, Unboxing, and Demo! AS SEEN ON TV!

Naturopathica!

Tonight I tried one of my samples, generously provided to me by Naturopathica. The Sweet cherry brightening enzyme peel. Upon opening the foil sample I immediately noticed a delicious real cherry scent. The color was accurate and you can see the real cherry puree.The directions say to leave on for 3-5 minutes, I opted for the full 5. I could feel my skin tightening, and it was an even tone and my skin felt smooth. This stuff is something I will look forward to buying full size. The only con I found was that I could see myself struggling not to want to eat this stuff, hehe! :)  I give the Sweet cherry brightening enzyme peel an A!

               The Best sample I have discovered yet.
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting BHA Gel was one of the many foil samples I was sent. It is a truly standout product. This stuff deserves a mention, because you can feel a difference after the first use. I noticed that my skin felt more soft and smooth that EVER before. Paula's choice sent me five or six foils of each product that they chose for my skin. I love the personal touch. 

Getting Started!

For my very first post I wanted to let you in on a few of my free sample secrets. This is how I have found some of the best products I have ever used! Going to the mailbox can be a drag, but follow me and it will be Christmas in June. For this first post I'll let you in on a few places to start, and how to get the right products for you. I began this process by using some free sample sites. This is a great place to start, because they find the samples and deals for you. Usually they weed through the scams and the "survey freebies." Here is a list of the best sites I have found for this, and currently subscribe to:

• Freaky Freedie's Free Funhouse

 http://www.freakyfreddies.com/beauty.html

This guy always posts freebies I never see anywhere else! He also has a double mystery freebie everyday, and they are usually pretty good! Make sure to subscribe to this one, for DAILY email updates!

• Nikki's Freebie Jeebies

http://nikkisfreebiejeebies.com/

This one has a lot of good links also, plus she keeps up with new coupons, and will update you 2-3 times per day, which is great because many freebies are on a first come first serve basis. It's good to know!

Subscribe to your favorite brands email list, or like them on facebook.

Many brands are jumping on the Facebook wagon, and promoting new product by having giveaways for facebook fans only. I have won a few packages from Aveda, smashbox, and many others.

Last, but not least, my favorite and most effective tactic is to contact companies and ask for samples that you want to try! If you know of a few products or brands you want to try. Get to know the products the company has, and ask politely, and try to be specific. This is not a guaranteed , but myself and many others have been successful. Simply go to a companie's website, locate and click the "CONTACT US" link, and ask away!Listed below are a few companies I have had luck with lately!

• Paula's Choice Skincare (AMAZING products, and she also sends you a skin myth-busting booklet!                                            http://www.paulaschoice.com/
