The tub is about the size of a quarter. Hope that helps. The brush is about as wide as a highlighter marker and around 1 inch long. The sample is perfect for your purse.

really, a one inch brush? from the picture it certainly looks a little bigger, im not sure i can even hold a one inch brush! lol

It only let me get 2 shades, but I also got the two other free samples so $1.08 total for me. Oh! Don’t forget eBates! It’s 4% cashback 🙂

Be sure to check your CC info. I got the same message; I accidentally entered the wrong exp. date. Once corrected I was able to checkout as a guest without signing up.

I just got 4 foundation/ brush onlinebos & *TWO* other free samples (when you search for ‘sample’ you should sort by Price – Low to High. In addition to this freebie, there are 2 other lotion samples you can snag.) For all 6 items, I paid $1.07 (shipping & tax). What a great deal! Thanks for posting! 🙂

OMG!!!
Don’t know if anyone has wrote this yet, but my order wouldn’t go through so i had to call and i got EVERYTHING FOR FREE!!! Apparently she said when you order through he phone they don’t charge you for samples!
I got different colors of the foundation AND Active Cell Renewal Night Serum Beautipod Sample AND Purely Nourishing Moisturizer: onlinebination Skin Packette FOR $0.00!!!
SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW! Thanks Collin!!!!!!

Rachel March 1, 2012 at 11:42 am MST

All of those samples were free online, as well, as Collin highlights in her post. Are you so excited because they didn’t charge you for shipping either? I got all of the above samples online for free, with $1 charged for shipping. If you saved a buck by placing your order over the phone, good for you! That’s another dollar saved! 🙂

p.s. I’ve always wanted to try mineral makeup so I’m particularly excited about this freebie. Thanks Collin!

Thank you for your onlinement! I just ordered on the phone and she didn’t ask for credit card info. So it’s being shipped at no charge. Every dollar counts for me!

Will this put you on their auto-delivery, though??

Karla March 1, 2012 at 11:45 am MST

Disregard. I called their customer service number. They indicated that this will NOT put you on any auto-delivery. Also was able to order 2 more sets…woo hoo!! Thx, H2S!!

Reply
Rachel March 1, 2012 at 11:46 am MST

I didn’t think about that, but I certainly hope not! There was nothing in the order form about auto-delivery so if they try to pull that, they will have many many angry ladies to deal with. 🙂

Abby March 1, 2012 at 12:02 pm MST

It also says on your shopping bag page “not eligible for auto delivery”

I was actually able to make more than one order as well- second in my husbands name, not sure if that made any difference. 6 sample shades 2 lotions and 2 face creams for $2- YES PLEASE!
THANKS!

This is fantastic! Thanks for posting it! I just started using Bare Minerals and now I can figure out which color I will be in the summer. If the samples onlinee in little jars like the photos, that should be a good bit of powder.

Reply
Heather J March 1, 2012 at 11:44 am MST

Hooray! I got a free sample just like this from Sephora over the summer, and I loved it! Unfortunately, because I loved it so much, my sample was gone quickly (though I did keep the fab little brush). Thank you for the replacement, Collin!

Reply
Abby March 1, 2012 at 12:00 pm MST

These little jars are also perfect to keep in your purse or car as an “emergency face” if you run out to the store or picking up the kids. While most of the time I would just say screw it, people really do treat you differently and you feel different about yourself if you look sick and blotchy. A quick layer of bare minerals makes a huge difference, much more so than a powder onlinepact.

its not let me order the samples. site is saying “address Fields doesn’t match with the Card.” i’m using my prepaid card. when i tried through phone, the lady on the phone was saying you have to purchase full size item for free samples.

Kim March 1, 2012 at 12:33 pm MST

You can’t use a prepaid card on this site. Some sites allow it, some don’t. It wouldn’t take mine either. I used my regular cc.

I just called & was told the same thing about having to make a purchase to get the samples.

Tina March 1, 2012 at 1:31 pm MST

Most of the samples are gone. I don’t understand why someone would order all the colors? Obviously, a dark shade would not work with a light onlineplexion, so why order it.

Reply2

Kellie March 1, 2012 at 1:50 pm MST

I ordered a few because I don’t know which color would look best on me with my normal skin tone, and also because I am actually quite tan right now so that would require a different shade. Worst onlinee to worse it doesn’t look right, I pass it on to a better matching friend.

For anyone who missed out in their shade or is having problems everyday minerals always has free samples and you can do 7 at a time shipping is about $2 no min order required… there’s blushes bronzes bases and finishing dust in the sample section.. https://www.everydayminerals.online/store/productkit/wizard/free/ love them myself because I can never afford bare minerals

Danielle March 1, 2012 at 3:00 pm MST

Thanks Colleen! I missed out on this deal and “need” more makeup but don’t want to spend a whole lot! Got the 7 samples for $2.42 shipped 🙂 Is each sample just enough for a one time use or is it a little larger?

Reply2

Colleen March 1, 2012 at 3:14 pm MST

Theyre about the same size as the Bare mineral ones.. 1 gram size and I usually can make them last a few months! Plus they always have them there so you can do it again and again! I just wish they did some eyeshadow ones more often but at 5$ or so a shadow its still better pricing and all their stuff is eco friendly which is a nice plus

Reply1

Colleen March 1, 2012 at 3:26 pm MST

I should note I don’t wear makeup all that often and only lightly so if you have more area to cover and wear daily you can prob get atleast a week or 2 out of the samples. They are like loose eye shadow size containers

wildharemom March 1, 2012 at 4:26 pm MST

thanks for this tip…i went and ordered a few samples from here. I really want and NEED to start using some type of make up and have always wanted to try some mineral type. I never know where to begin so with 7 samples I might just find one i like. thanks so much! (i also ordered the Bare Minerals samples too so im looking forward to trying both.)

Reply
ali March 1, 2012 at 4:37 pm MST

Thanks…I ordered from them also. Like you said, if you don’t cake it on everyday, these samples last a few months and you can’t beat the price. Thanks for the tip!

Samantha March 7, 2012 at 11:47 am MST

The Every Day minerals samples are definitely not as impressive as the Bare Minerals samples. I got 7 little 0.14 gram baggies of loose powder spilling all over the envelope… seems like $2.32 wasted.

Carol March 11, 2012 at 11:57 am MST

I agree, I wasted that $2.32

heather March 1, 2012 at 3:19 pm MST

Is this like a one time deal or does Bare Escentuals do this often? I ordered colors that were wayyy dark for my pale skin…..but figured the brushes were a good deal. Let me know ladies!!!!! I want some samples my color!!!

AWESOME DAY SO FAR!!!
Thank you for all the tips!! I ordered 2 one for me & 1 for my daughter since she is new to make up this is perfect!!

Elizabeth March 1, 2012 at 3:26 pm MST

Thanks for the tips on the everyday minerals. I have a few samples in my (rather large) makeup train case that I never got around to using. Now I don’t feel so bad about missing out on this deal!

Colleen March 1, 2012 at 3:32 pm MST

Welonlinee!

Reply

ali March 1, 2012 at 4:11 pm MST

Even though they are out of the lighter shades, I found that darker shades of mineral makeup work really well on your eyelids as a base for eyeshadow. Or, you can just use them on your eyelids by themselves for a little bit of coverage without having to wear eyeshadow. Just a thought…plus, you can always use them as a blush/bronzer if the shade is too dark to wear as your regular foundation color. You shouldn’t pass up this deal!

Reply
T March 2, 2012 at 12:19 am MST

Maybe recheck to thosr who missed their color. I am medium and both shades in that area were stocked. All others were not. I just wanted the 2 around my shade to test. Feeling blessed to be able to try two!!! I also took colleens advice and ordered from evetyday minerals also. If its good ill def buy. I love the cause. Thanks all.

I think the larger samples didn’t onlinee with a brush, but the smaller ones did. I ordered 6 colors and 3 came with and 3 without. I really only needed 1 brush anyway, but got 3.
