Especially for hair products, when you've got wet hands and try to open them and use the right amount of product. If all brands packaged their samples correctly, it would be life-changing haha! However I kind of wish I was drowning in samples, especially for skincare. If you want to get rid of yours, let me know haha :P<br /><br />Julia x <br />Last Post: A Holiday in Rome, Italy | http://juliaspeaksbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/roman-holiday-pt1.htmlJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155663667723808286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459860786742920604.post-9120572529687554882017-05-18T18:09:53.348+01:002017-05-18T18:09:53.348+01:00I don't mind a decent sample but I can't b...I don't mind a decent sample but I can't be doing with sachets, they're so hard to open and so messy too, but nice sized samples I love for taking away on holidays xxx<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mammafulzo.com/" rel="nofollow"><b> Zoe ♥ MammafulZo </b></a>Mammaful Zohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669721328841265132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459860786742920604.post-16088048713183794702017-05-18T15:17:26.959+01:002017-05-18T15:17:26.959+01:00I have so many minis but for some reason whenever ...I have so many minis but for some reason whenever I need to pack for a flight I can't find the ones I need!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flutterandsparkle.com" rel="nofollow">Gemma x | flutterandsparkle.com</a> Gemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430429945025494315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459860786742920604.post-50506338189091946692017-05-18T14:13:46.526+01:002017-05-18T14:13:46.526+01:00I work for one of the big premium skincare brands ...I work for one of the big premium skincare brands and we only sample to customers that have a consultation or recommendation for products they want/need to try.
