Free makeup & beauty brand giveaways

One of the easiest ways to get free makeup and beauty products is through online giveaways. To help get feedback and spread the word of a new product, lots of companies will now giveaway free makeup and beauty samples. You’ll have to be quick though, these are often given out on a first-come, first-served basis!

Your best bet is to sign up for freebie site newsletters, as they find all the best ones and share them online daily. Here is a list of the best freebie sites (in my opinion!)

Lots of these companies even post free beauty stuff directly to your front door! Check out my guide on how to get freebies in the mail for more info.

Email newsletters & social media

Another way to score free makeup samples and beauty trial products is to go straight to the source! Brands usually announce freebie giveaways to loyal fans first, so follow all your favourite beauty brands on social media and make sure you sign up for their email newsletter for exclusive offers.

Sponsored posts & so post beauty & makeup freebies

Keep an eye out for sponsored posts, which pop up in your social media feed. These are run by a company called So Post – who help companies run giveaways and trials. They run out SO quick so when you see a sponsored post, apply there and then by filling in a quick form.

Product testing free beauty products

Beauty brands love feedback and rely on honest opinions from people like you and me to help them launch a successful new product. Brands like Boots, Glamour Beauty Club, and Debenhams Beauty Club host regular review panels, where you can apply to get free makeup and beauty items in the post in exchange for your opinion.

There are also loads of third-party testing websites offering full-sized freebies! Check out this list of 30+ genuine product testing opportunities to find out more and apply today.

Pamper yourself with Birthday freebies

Treat yourself to a facial at Debenhams or bag free beauty products from companies like The Body Shop on your special day. There are LOADS of brands that give away free birthday treats, just check out this huge list of birthday freebies and enjoy!

Get free beauty products with Loyalty schemes

Did you know you can get exclusive beauty and makeup freebies with loyalty schemes? Debenhams Beauty Club offers free makeup and beauty samples / full-sized items each month to members. Boots also offers extra point days for Boots Advantage Card holders. You can use these to get free products or put them towards a bigger purchase.

Space NK Apothecary and many other beauty stores also have loyalty schemes, which offer exclusive freebies. It’s always worth checking your favourite beauty websites for reward loyalty schemes and signing up asap to reap the benefits!

Mobile phone loyalty schemes like O2 Priority and Vodafone VeryMe also give away freebies to their customers via their apps. I’ve had loads of stuff from O2, including free Soap & Glory goodies, Boots Micellar water, and Simple wipes!

Beauty counter freebies

Pop into your nearest department store or beauty shop and head to the counter to ask for free samples. It all depends who is serving, but if you show interest in certain products and ask for a free sample, you’re likely to get some!

Brands like Clinique, Bobbi Brown, and Estee Lauder often share free 10-day foundation and perfume sample coupons (which you can redeem in-store) on their social media pages, so keep a lookout for these.

I'm feeling very grateful for all these freebies in the post over the last few weeks! It's the little things that keep you going during all this and it's great to see that companies are continuing with giveaways ? Here's what I got… ? Chanel Gabrielle & Bleu de Chanel perfume samples ? Kiehl's Vital skin-strengthening super serum ? Narciso Rodriguez for her perfume sample ? StriVectin SD Advanced Plus anti-wrinkle moisturiser ?

Win free makeup & beauty products

Competitions are another fab way to bag free makeup and beauty products. Brands host hundreds if not thousands of competitions each week. Look for makeup and beauty competitions online on sites like The Prize Finder and Competition Database or in newspapers and magazines. Sure, it’s not a guaranteed way to get free stuff, but you’ve got to be in it to win it!

Psst… If you haven’t already purchased this, I highly recommend Super Lucky Secrets written by fellow blogger Di Coke! It’s packed full of super helpful tips and tricks for winning competitions – perfect for beginners!

Take surveys to get free makeup products

Websites like Love to Slay and First Beauty and apps like AGORA let you take surveys and leave video reviews in exchange for free makeup and beauty products. The more products you try and leave feedback for, the more points you earn, meaning the more products you get to trial! How amazing is that??

Get free makeup & beauty samples for recycling

Lots of beauty brands now offer freebies in exchange for recycled packaging to help be more sustainable. Trade-in your MAC packaging for a new lipstick or hand in used LUSH tubs for a free face mask, plus loads more. Find out more about recycling beauty freebies

Free beauty products from magazines

Swing by the magazine aisle in the supermarket and peruse magazines with beauty freebies included. Plus, have a quick read of the cover, as sometimes magazines share coupons and freebies inside for free haircuts, beauty treatments, and more. Some fashion and lifestyle magazines are pricey, so it’s worth thinking about if the freebie is worth the cost!

Free L'occitane gift set free makeup and beauty products

Get free makeup samples with online orders

Feel Unique offers a Pick & Mix free samples on its website, where you you select up to five samples from over a whopping 500 different products! All you have to pay is £3.95 shipping fee, which you can redeem against a future purchase. What an amazing deal!

Other brands that chuck in free samples with orders include Look Fantastic, Cult Beauty, Sephora, L’Occitane, Clarins, Mac, and loads more. It’s always worth checking to see if free samples are included before you confirm your order.

Mystery shop for free makeup & beauty products

Become a mystery shopper and get paid to shop and keep the products too! Lots of brands use third party mystery shopper companies to get feedback on things like customer service, shop displays, cleanliness, and more. My favourite companies for assignments include Marketforce, tern, and Retail Maxim.

Get beauty freebies on awareness days

This one isn’t a guarantee, but sometimes brands offer freebies on certain awareness days. In the past I’ve received a free lipstick from Clinique at Boots for National Lipstick Day (yes, that’s a real thing!) and free dry skin moisturiser from Aveeno on Eczema awareness week. Get your calendar and start marking all beauty/health-related days and weeks in your diary!

How to avoid free makeup scams

Unfortunately, there are lots of fake sites out there, where scammers just want your details and try to rip you off and take your money. Luckily, there are certain ways to avoid these, including:

  • Only applying for products that come from genuine brands
  • Looking for the green padlock in the URL, meaning the site is secure and safe
  • Checking if it has a clean looking link e.g. clinique.co.uk/giveaway
  • Finding copyright signs and terms and conditions (often a link at the bottom of the page)
  • Join freebie communities on Facebook and ask for a second opinion

My favourite freebie Facebook groups include FREE STUFF, Comps & Bargains by Magic Freebies and Latest Free Stuff & Competitions UK. Remember to share freebies and become an active member!

Sorry for the radio silence! We've been helping ou Sorry for the radio silence! We've been helping our new family member settle in 😍 Everyone meet Blue, a Bedlington whippet cross. Cannot believe we picked him up a month ago today! He's such a cheeky chappy and he's growing and changing every day, we've already had such a laugh with him and a million cuddles. Can't wait until he can go on walkies, not long now! I hope he's still as snuggly when he gets older 🤞ALSO very excited that he now has a puppy bestie, as my sister has just brought home a beautiful little Boston Terrier, Bruno 😘

Donated my Reverse Advent Calendar last night at m Donated my Reverse Advent Calendar last night at my local Lidl store! For those of you who missed it, I've been donating one item a day throughout November as part of the UK Money Bloggers #foodbankadvent campaign - all of these items were free using coupons, cashback, and items already in my cupboard 😍 if you can even donate just one item, it's not too late! Most supermarkets will have a collection point at the exit 🎄 #foodbankadvent #foodbank #reverseadventcalendar #christmas #gooddeed #ukmoneyblogger #ukmoneybloggers
🎉 BIRTHDAY FREEBIES 🥳 - I know there's a LOT 🎉 BIRTHDAY FREEBIES 🥳 - I know there's a LOT of talk about Christmas, but if you have a birthday coming up, don't forget to claim those birthday freebies now that most stores and restaurants are open again! I've written a MASSIVE list of 60+ birthday freebies you can claim on your bday, including beauty products, food, drinks, sweet treats, plus loads more vouchers and discounts from your favourite retailers and the link is in my bio 😊 Most of these last anywhere between a week up to a month within your bday date so there's still time to claim if you had a recent celebration. Some of you may have noticed on my stories it was my bday a couple of weeks back (Nov 22 thanks for all your birthday wishes 😘) - I sat in my pjs all day, binge watched The Crown and ate a huge Burger King and cake with @gshack21. It was perfect! 😂 I'm still working my way through birthday treats too 😄 P.S. I've sadly updated it by removing Debenhams and Arcadia group store ones, and my thoughts go out to those people who have lost their jobs so close to Christmas and I hope you find something new soon 🙏🏻

Plus the shop was packed and I wanted to get out ASAP!

The coupon/cashback deal is £1.50-off any 2 Nestlé products with the green banner until 30th Nov, so you still have plenty of time to claim it (details in my bio) I think I might pick some of their box bowl variety packs for my Reverse Advent Calendar at some point... These cereals are also £1-off on Shopmium 😃 (Andrex is £1.50-off)

If you'd like to join Shopmium, a supermarket cashback app packed full of freebies and offers, then please feel free to use my ref code KHKCYCEN to get a FREE tub of Pringles 😍 (they are taking a little longer to process receipts so sit tight!)

You may have seen this on my stories last week.. E You may have seen this on my stories last week.. Every year, UK Money Bloggers take part in a #FOODBANKADVENT campaign where we each put aside one item each day in Nov to donate to a food bank in time for Christmas - this is called a Reverse Advent Calendar. According to The Trussell Trust, a shocking 670,000 people may need to rely on donations this Christmas. I'm also aware it's a very difficult time for everyone at the moment, so I've written a blog post on how you can find items to donate for free (cashback apps, freebies, coupons, etc.) and you can find the link in my bio

I'm starting mine this week and you can follow along every day in my stories to see what items I'm donating. It's not too late to start yours, either! You don't have to do the full month, just anything you can afford. Don't forget to use and follow #foodbankadvent during this month to catch up with others too🙂
