full size?
I got my full size order, including samples with one of them to be the same as the full size purchase.
I can't decide which to open first. The sample or the full size  |

Same here.
One of the pleasures of going away for a w/e, is the little samples of new things in my washbag! |

i keep the samples for travel as well as long as i know the product works for me. otherwise, i've had too many disasterous trips taking samples on trips rather than my regular products only to find my face hated them! trips are not a good time to have your face go mad -- especially when you don't have your arsenal of emergency products to repair.
as for which to use first of the same product, i'd say to go with the sample if it's refillable as the sample is typically (not always) older than the full size product and could dry up or whatnot if you wait to long to use it. |

We usually go out of town once a month to see family for at least 4 days at a time, I never have a problem using up my samples in time. |

My full size order is usually something I'm lemming for. So, I HAVE to try it first. I tend to "forget" about the samples until I come across them a few days or weeks later. And, if I end up loving them....well that means another order too soon. And, I'm trying so hard to limit my spending.

If the sample and the full-sized are the same product, I use the sample first so it will still be fresh. I keep the bottle for refilling, if it can be refilled.
If they're different, I always use my full-sized and stick the sample in a drawer to be forgotten - unless it's something I wanted to try. |

If I haven't used the full-size product before, I would open the samples first. Then you can return or swap the full-size if you don't like the sample.
If I know I love the product already, I would save the samples for travel or keep them for a freebie to give in a swap. |

If it's a product I have never used before, I always try out a sample of it before committing to a full size. Since I have sensitive skin, for me it's an absolute must. I want to make sure my skin likes it.
Otherwise, the samples are good for travel. |

| I always dive right into the full-size product and then my friends end up taking my samples! |

Before I just put the samples in the drawer and forgot about them.
From now on, samples first. |

| If I already know I like the product, I'll keep the sample - I travel a bit for work and love to take sample sized products so as to travel light. If I don't know the product and want to test ot out, then I'll try the sample first. I love refillable sample pots, wish they were all made that way! |

It depends on what it is..if it is a mini toner Ill just use it - if it is a mini pot of cream then Ill just use it and then refill it with my large size when Im travelling...I try really hard not to bring straight liquid in a bottle when I travel...the luggage elves always seemk to manage to loosen the lids on me  - more than once Ive ended up with skincare leakage in my bag..not nice.

| If I know I am going to be traveling with some frequency, I sometimes order the sample size of my fave products to take with me. I went to Florida in August for a weeklong convention and the JMEI stayed home. No way would I risk such an expensive investment with the possibility of lost luggage. I never carry my full size products for fear of breakage or loss since we can no longer carry on all of our skincare and cosmetics. |

If you don't like it, you can give the full size to others.
But,
if you are a regular user of this product.
full size first.
and save the sample for travels! |
