Today I want to talk about such a burning topic as getting cosmetics for review. About whether it is bad or good, we already somehow argued, this time I want to discuss how exactly this cosmetics can be obtained.

All beginner bloggers (and not only) want to get at least something for review. Not because it's free, but because it means that your work is appreciated, that you have achieved some success. But take a sober look at the situation: if you were a representative of a company, would you send your products to a blogger who started a blog just yesterday? Naturally, if you have few views and subscribers, waiting for a stream of proposals for cooperation is not entirely reasonable. It takes some time to be willing to work with you. boil in all this blogging environment, to find your style and your readers, to be able to offer really high-quality work.

But if you're already blogging long time, you have readers, your content is diverse and useful, but there are still no proposals for cooperation? The fact is that there are a lot of bloggers now, and representatives of the company with which you would like to cooperate simply do not know about your existence. Therefore, they need help. Can write to a representative by email, politely explaining who you are and what you can do. It is possible that you will be able to convince a person that you are exactly the person they need.

Another way to get the attention of representatives is write a review about their products. In order for the brand to notice your post, you can tag the brand in the picture on Instagram or drop the link in the official brand group on Vkontakte. Some brands even have special themes for bloggers for those who want to test the products:

Personally, I have never written to representatives of the brand directly. I prefer the second way, when I write about this or that product and let the brand know that this is me, this is my blog, this is how I work. If I write, write, and the brand ignores me, maybe I just don’t fit into their concept, or they need bloggers with more views and subscribers.

Not the most efficient, but still a way participation in companies on https://toprussianbloggers.ru/campaign/ First you need to register on the site, and then see what offers there are, and if something is of interest, offer your candidacy. The downside is that there are very few brands, mostly not the most famous, and most of the offers are designed for bloggers from Moscow.

Here are my tips. Honestly, I sometimes envy other girls when they manage to get cooperation with a brand that I would like to work with, but they were not interested in me. I don’t get upset about this for a long time, because if it happened, then I just need to work even harder. If I were a PR agent, I would not send anything to myself at all) So I am very grateful to those who nevertheless dared to cooperate with me)

Probe

Look for samples and testers in the "Giving Free Gifts" section; right now, however, the forum is a little empty, but we hope that this is not for long. Please note: to see all the offers, you must register on the forum. Guests do not see the most interesting.

Oh that sweet word "freebie"... Many people don't like it, but do you know even one person who doesn't like this phenomenon? The creators of the site have probably unraveled the secret desires of many ordinary people and opened a forum where everyone can exchange information about free samples, test products and much more.

There are several main sections on the forum: “Clothes”, “Oh, I’ll give you a gift” (competitions are arranged by the members of the forum themselves), “Samples and samples”, “Disks”. Like on many other sites, you need to create an account on Freebie: otherwise you risk missing out on the hottest offers.

Moreover, a blog does not have to be maintained on a separate site: it is enough to be an active user and have more than 300 subscribers on Facebook, VKontakte, Instagram or another social network. Those who meet this requirement, are ready to write reviews of the received goods and can place the portal banner on the main page of their blog, will be able to receive new samples as a gift!

By the way, the aggregator collects shares not only from Runet, but also from foreign sites, so the choice of freebies is truly great.

We tried very hard to make our review as useful and voluminous as possible. Did it work? It's not for us to judge. There are so many websites on the Internet that it is impossible to cover them all. Therefore, dear readers, we appeal to you with a request: if you suddenly know other ways to get perfume samples or samples of good cosmetics for free, share your secret knowledge in the comments! And in order not to miss news about promotions and sales in the best online stores, subscribe to our page on Facebook or VKontakte.

Hello everyone!

I think that almost every person loves gifts, but everyone wants to receive not just something for free, as a gift, but also something useful and pleasant.

I already talked about something else service where you can get nice freebies. But they have differences. V Cosmobrand collected freebies from all over the world, whether useful or not. Spam is often sent there, but you will find out in advance before ordering. But what's good is that only free offers are collected there.

And this pendant is made of silver, not just silver.


I also received as a gift Sunglasses from Yves Rocher for a purchase of 200 rubles, a summer scarf was attached to the glasses, I gave it as a gift, it did not suit me. Of course, the glasses are rustic, but they protect well from the sun, I take them to the country, as I have already lost expensive glasses once.

I receive these and other gifts from Yves Rocher thanks to the published flyers on the Probnik website (although I am subscribed to the mailing list of these flyers from Yves Rocher, they do not always reach me).


In addition to gifts, thanks to these flyers, I save a lot on purchases in this store. I regularly buy Oriental Shower Oil and hair balms there - these products are just “must-haves” for me, and with these leaflets, the products turn out to be super-budget.


A certificate for purchases in the Euroset (as a token of apology for the delay in checking my data) on the LD website - by the way, there I saved up 500 rubles for an ozone certificate, but have not yet withdrawn it yet. In Euroset, I bought a toy for a child (a car).

Pandora bracelet Thanks to this service, it cost me 2,500 rubles instead of 3,900 rubles. Of course, at first glance, the service has nothing to do with it, since the newsletter about happy days comes by e-mail, but one thing, nevertheless, is present!

Cunning marketers in Pandora do not announce the list of products with discounts and their prices, in the letter they only indicate that there will be a discount on bracelets or other products on such and such a date. It’s very inconvenient to run and look every time, and in the group of this service, under a post about a happy day in Pandora, girls always publish a list of products with promotional prices and often photos. Very convenient - you know in advance specifically about this promotion and go purposefully for a purchase or not!


Rubber bands Invisibubble I got it for 50 rubles for the Yulmart promotion. On certain days they gave 200 rubles for registration on this site, rubber bands cost 250 rubles there, so I paid the missing amount.

I received the body cream for testing (full size product).

My husband got Pantine shampoo 400 ml without additional payment for this promotion.


Set from Loccitane(one more product is missing in the photo - almond oil, since I already poured it into the main bottle).

I received this set as a gift for buying soap in Loksitan. I also receive a newsletter from this store by e-mail, but often I don’t read letters from them, so as not to once again be tempted to this or that action. And in the group I saw information about the mailing list.

It's been pretty profitable here. For example, a hand cream costs 30 ml 590 rubles, and I received a miniature of 10 ml, other products are even more expensive. And I bought soap for only 350 rubles. In the check, the estimate of this set was something around 900 rubles. Many girls made a purchase even cheaper - a bath cube for 190 rubles.

The best of the best! In the review, we have collected 15 of the coolest online cosmetics stores that have something to please and surprise you. Still haven't moved beauty shopping online? It's time, dear ones! This saves time, money, expands the range and makes you more beautiful. See for yourself.

Is it possible to get cosmetics for free without having your own blog on youtube or instagram? There are at least ten ways to get products for testing or as a gift, and today I will tell you about them.

How it all started

Like many girls, on maternity leave I began to limit myself in buying cosmetics, and there were three reasons for this:

  1. While at home, I did not feel the need to apply a large number funds (used only ink, pencil, shadows, corrector).
  2. I did not have free money for cosmetic products.
  3. Product consumption was lower than inventory levels, and expiration dates were gradually expiring.

At the same time, cosmetics remained my hobby, and the desire to try new things did not disappear.

I began to look for an opportunity to get the goods I wanted for free, and for four years I have been sent products for testing or as a gift from brands such as Loreal, MAC, Urban Decay, Vichy, Biotherm and many others. I got the opportunity not only to use shadows and creams for a price higher than what I can safely afford for the family budget, but not even to buy household goods and textiles.

If you are wondering how to get cosmetics for free or something else, I suggest you read my instruction review.

Cosmetics for reviews

Register on the site Otzovik, Irecommend, Beautician or ReviewsPro, collect your database of reviews and receive products as a gift for reviews. Of course, company managers will not immediately ask you to test shadows and shampoos.

Your account should become interesting, gain views and positive feedback from readers. Hard?

No, it's much easier than starting an Instagram page and spending money on promoting it. According to users of reviews, products on free testing they began to give a couple of months after registering on the site.




I got this opportunity a year after registering on irecommend, but because I simply did not know about such bonuses for authors.

What do we have to do?

When you understand that you are ready to cooperate, write a letter to the managers of cosmetic brands.

Hello! My name is Anna Ivanova, I am a blogger of the Otzovik website (link to the page). I would like to offer you mutually beneficial cooperation on a barter basis: in exchange for the products provided, I will write an honest review with beautiful photos and videos (optional). Sincerely.

How to find a manager?

You can write through the feedback form on the page of the online store or find his mail on VKontakte or Facebook. As a rule, bloggers’ letters are answered (politely refusing or agreeing).

Discuss all the little things in advance, be honest with yourself and the reader, do not agree to take what you initially do not like.

Offers from companies

Fans of new products should subscribe to the pages of major brands on Instagram or other social networks. Periodically large companies arrange contests where you are required to indicate the type of skin, wishes for the product and any page where you post photos, for example, VKontakte.

Managers select the lucky ones and send them new items in exchange for a brief review.




The site makeup\ru is also useful in this regard, where in the competition section you can apply for participation in any testing of a novelty or a hit of a cosmetic company.

Websites with free samples

There are many resources with freebies, and their purpose is to spread information about cosmetics or other goods. For example, they give a small sample of the cream, and if the customer likes the product, he will buy the full size version.

These sites include:

  • cosmobrand;
  • probenick;
  • probnicki;
  • lookup;
  • proberry and others.

Their idea is simple: choose goods from the list, and they send you for free (delivery is paid by the user).

But, in my experience, cosmetics have to wait, catch, search, which ultimately takes a lot of time.

Contests for bloggers

In order to increase the audience on Instagram or YouTube, bloggers hold contests (Giveaway), where they give cosmetics or other useful things.

All that is required is to subscribe to the blog and follow a few simple steps:

Winning the competition is not difficult if you follow a few rules:

  • participate in giveaways from bloggers with a small audience - there is less competition;
  • be active on his blog;
  • write as many comments as possible under the contest posts.

It is unlikely that this method will suit many, but if you have a lot of free time, why not?

Gifts with purchase

Most large online stores encourage purchases with gifts.

To find such stores, type in the search engine the cherished phrases:

  • promotional code for a gift;
  • gift for purchase;
  • birthday gift for order.

In this regard, generous Yves Rocher, Dr Pierre Ricaud, Korean and mineral cosmetics stores.

For example, in the winter of 2018, I ordered a cream from Pier Rico, and received perfume, lipstick and jewelry as a gift.

Of course, most of the products I receive are for the review site, but other ways help replenish my makeup bag. Do you get cosmetics for free for testing?
