Ask For Freebies!

When you're shopping at department stores and beauty boutiques, don't be afraid to ask for freebies (in a non-obnoxious, give-me-everything-you've-got kind of way). Most stores are more than happy to give you tiny containers of concealer, mini nail polishes or a teeny pot of lip gloss to take home with you and try out. This is especially true if you're already going to purchase an item -- if you're taking home an eyeshadow, stores will often send you home with several freebies in the hopes you'll come back and spend more money!
