A lot of people I followed/respected were into some of the indie brands, and of course, their products wered often tempting to begin with, but it was really the strength of recommendations that did it.
I’m pretty sure it was Fyrinnae! It’s amazing that they continue to have success in an industry that has changed a lot over the years.
It depends on the why it’s not working, but for most products, if it doesn’t work after trying a handful of times with different techniques/brushes (e.g. using a lighter hand, heavier hand, different type of brush, wet), I usually just move on.
It’s very rare that I return a product, but if I bought it personally, and it arrived broken/damaged or was exceptionally bad quality, then I would return it.
I love when they’re in a mini spray bottle, since I prefer spraying to rolling on! It’s a nice way to try different fragrances without having to commit to a single bottle. It’s not necessarily a cost-effective way just to sample, but it is a great way to buy a scent to wear semi-regularly...
I think it works well for sets to try a few products from a single brand’s line, but I find that I’d rather have a travel set of empty containers if necessary to bring my staples with me.
Not my thing at all! It’s like… too much in tiny sizes at once for me.
I think 20% is becoming the minimum for me to give it a look-see, but 25% starts making me more inclined to buy if I wasn’t interested before.
