If you've every bought indie, You probably have several baggies, clamshells, or perhaps a small jar with a sample in it. Her are just a few of mine.
They are hard to organize. I'm always terrified to open mine. What if I accidentally dump it everywhere? Mostly I say: "I hate sticking my brush in this bag."
I began looking for a solution. At first I was just putting them in jars, but that didn't really solve the sorting issue.
It was just more jars lost in my drawer of eye shadows. Also, they weren't any easier to take traveling.
One day I was at JoAnns and I thought I would look around. This is what I found! It was the the section for beads. They are regular sized jars (but tall instead of wide) my labels always fit on top AND it came in a clear plastic box!
Transferring my samples was easier than expected. I would just use a piece of paper as a funnel.
Then take the sticker and put it on top. That way I always know what it is and where it came from.
It fits in one of my small travel makeup bags and I still have room for brushes and primer. I always sort by color. It makes what I'm looking for easier to find and it looks so pretty!
How do you sort your samples?
Great minds must think alike because I do the same thing! Except I have 4 containers of them. I'm so bad! At first I had them sorted by color and now I have them sorted by company - like 2-3 of them are just for Shiro Cosmetics alone. These are so great for travel and storage!
