Why Do I Try Samples?

I guess this is a spin-off of my cheapness, but I LOVE beauty samples!  Shampoo sample--- Sold  Anti-aging lotion sample--- Sold  Conditioner sample--- Sold  You get the picture!  I sign up for samples that I have no intention of buying their full-size cousins.  I brought a roll of TP home from the fair!!  Hey, it was free and the Roto-Rooter guys were handing them out.  I hear you, I hear you--- So what?

Well as much as I love samples, most products don't love me!  I have naturally curly hair.  When the shampoo sample says all hair types it means all hair types except curly headed people!  My skin is SENSITIVE, it always has been.  As I near the big 4-0 it gets even stranger.  I have hormonal breakouts, dry patches, and I am trying to keep wrinkles at bay.  When the anti-aging lotion samples declares "perfect for all skins," it means all folks but the sensitive freaky skin people!  Does this keep me from trying the sample?  Hell no!  I try it and then I pay the consequence!  Dry brittle afro hair and a funky allergic face rash--- sexy.

Obviously, I am a slow learner.  

Everytime I see a Clarisonic I think that I need it--- Holy Hell Batman!  I would end up in Emergency if I used that!!!  An esthetician used it on  me during a facial and I had to ask her to stop...  

I still get samples; I might even make The Hubs sign up for Target beauty bags on Facebook--- I shun the Facebook because I have enough crazy drama in my life.  I try the samples that look the most benign and I pass the rest out to friends and classmates.  I get free stuff and I give gifts and I don't get rashes--- that often!
