Because of beauty boxes I have a lot of samples, this is just the amount I've collected since coming home from uni in June, so I think it's about time I started using them up so that I can attack my mountain of samples at uni too!
In order to use them up I've decided to find a box to pop a couple in which I am going to use every day until they are finished. This will prevent products expiring and going back into the sample box half used. Also it will give me a good time to see any long term effects of products, due to using them for a long period of time rather than just every now and again!
These are the products I'm trying to use up at the moment! I picked out these products as my skin needs a pick me up and the mascara and toothpaste won't last to long so need using up! Once they are finished I will do an empties post on them and let you know my thoughts. I'm hoping this method of picking out certain samples to use at a time will help me get through my mountain of samples and I'm quite enjoying trying new products out too!
Will you be raiding your samples collection now?

It's always exciting to get these things in beauty boxes but then... they never get used! I'm the same, I have two jolieboxes crammed full of little tubes of stuff I 'might' get around to using.
ReplyDeleteYour collection is bigger than mine though haha! good luck ;)

ReplyDeleteexactly, which is why i need to get through these! aww thank you!
DeleteI love samples, but I sometimes get overwhelm when I have too much. I love using them up. x
ReplyDeletei'm very very very overwhelmed with all these!
DeleteI have so, so many samples. I got rid of a LOT of mine in a week of daily giveaways. I may do it again soon! xo
ReplyDeletethat's very kind of you :) you must of had TONS because you gave away so many!
DeleteWhoa that's a lot of samples! ^_~ When I have too many I just give them away to my family and close friends.
ReplyDeletei may take a leaf out of your book! i have a few too many! will never use them all!
DeleteReally good way of doing it my opinion! Some of those bits look like they could be real goodies xxx
ReplyDelete:) excited to find them!
DeleteThis is a really clever way to use up all your samples - I'm definitely guilty for having one-too-many, too, so I might just take a leaf out of your book xx
ReplyDelete:) lets get through all of our samples! i always neglect them!
DeleteI've tried to use up all my samples but in the end I just give them away to other bloggers or my sister lool

liking it so far shen :)
Deletefun blog, so glad i found my way here! let's follow each other! xx
ReplyDeleteMy sample collection is huge! I was just thinking this morning about how many face primers alone I have! The problem was that they are in my samples, when I should have stored them with my primers for easy use! I'm excited to use up my samples!
ReplyDeletegreat post!
that's what i do, i forget about things! hope you get to use them all up and enjoy them :)
DeleteThis is exactly the method I use. Frustrating though, because as soon as I finish a load I get another batch of beauty boxes delivered and the process starts again! I find it quite useful to save some of the samples for when I go away on holiday or to stay with friends x
