I do wear make up and I can
get it 80% off and for free. Here is how. I buy after the holidays at
Wally World. I wait till the second mark down. Sometimes they have what I
was looking at and sometimes the do not. It is a chance. My last set of
color I found was a 13 piece set with a combination of eye, cheek, lips
and nails for $2.70. That is $.20 cents a item! And they looked nice on
me.
Now lets talk about that beauty kit. It is $99.00. A few times i
was able to get it for $50. I have enough products to last me the
entire year to every other year. This kit contains: 12 foundations, 1
mascara, 2 cleansers, 2 moisturizers, 1 eye make up remover, 1 day
cream, 1 night cream, facial cloths, samples, a tote bag and much more! I
do not need 12 foundations, so I sell all of them but 3 and the day and
night cream at our yard sale and I have made money off of the kit!
TIP
I COMBINED THREE CHEEK COLOR BLUSHES THAT I NOTICED I WAS NOT USING ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY WERE THE WRONG SHADE FOR ME. I TURNED THEM INTO A POWDER FORM. I THEN PLACED THEM ALL INTO A EMPTY LOOSE POWDER CONTAINER. NEXT I MIXED THEM UP. I WILL USE THEM NOW BECAUSE IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE PERFECT SHADE!

Shampoo and conditioner
When our family and church had given us a baby shower for our daughter, we had gotten so many bottles of baby lotion, shampoo and baby powder that I did not have time to use it all up. We could not use a lot of products because our daughter had eczema So one day (before I knew I could get so many free samples in the mail) I was getting low on conditioner I was wondering what would happen if I mixed some of the baby lotion with the rest of the conditioner in the bottle. It was wonderful. It rinsed out nicely, was easy to brush and did not look greasy when it dried.
I send away for so many free samples that I do not need to buy them that often...but a few other ideas to try if you run out....
I had a coupon ($1.50 off) 4 months ago for dial cherry blossom & almond hand soap....well let me tell you what! For me, it works great for body and hair shampoo! I am not even half way done with the bottle. (52 FL OZ / 1.54 L)

THE NEVER ENDING HAND SOAP
 
This is amazing....We never run out of soap! I add the small soap bar slivers that can not be used in the shower anymore and water (free hotel soap to begin with LOL )
What you need:
*An empty foaming soap bottle (found mine at the dollar store)
* Liquid hand soap (Clear soap works much better than the thick and creamy kind)
*Water
1. Place a 1/2 inch of liquid soap in the bottle of the empty foaming soap bottle.
2. Slowly fill up the rest of the bottle with water.
3. Place lid back on, and gently twist the bottle to give it a little mix.
4. Wash your hands with DIY foaming soap!
