Lipsticks For Lunch
After I graduated from university a few years ago, I briefly worked as an intern for a national magazine.
One day, I was busy transcribing an interview for a very famous celebrity and I was getting ready to get myself some lunch, when some of the journos said to me:
"Would you like to come to a beauty sample sale?”
And I said:
“Yeah!”
A beauty sample sale is the perfect opportunity to purchase new beauty products at highly discounted products (and significantly below the recommended retail price.) For example, a £10 mascara sold via a retailer could sell for £1 at a sample sale.
So, I was able to buy some items for a fraction of the cost and I decided to treat myself to some pretty cool lipsticks.
