I'd love some free makeup samples - anybody know where to get some?

I have heard you can get free samples of makeup online, lots of companies apparently let you test them before you buy, anyone know where i can acquire some? I know that if you go into a outlet you can occasionally get a free sample to use and take home with you, if you make a great impression that is! :o)

I've never heard of being able to do that, but it sounds like something I'd like! :) I tend to just get inexpensive cosmetics, and they last me forever. I don't scrimp too much on mascara, though, but the other (blush, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner) I go pretty cheap -- Covergirl and NYC and such.

I've gotten free samples at Sephora, and Kiehl's will sometimes give you free samples.

I also got free samples of product to try at Clinique too, but I knew the salesgirl ;)

Usually you only get freebies from the higher-end makeup companies, but they're not all that common anymore.

I know this etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/theallnaturalface) shop I bought some make up off sent me heaps of free samples with my small purchase.

That looks like a nice site -- and I checked-out her "normal" (non-etsy) site, too. Apparently she's got brushes on sale this month, too!
