Julep is a nail color and hand and foot care sampling program.  You sign up to be a Julep Maven and you will receive 2-3 fullsize nail colors and a foot or hand product for $19.99 per month.  I know this can be pricey, and so does Julep, so you can skip a month anytime without losing your membership.  As a Maven, you also receive 20% off all products and you get the new colors that have not even been released to the public!  Oh yes, you always get free shipping as well.  These are fullsize products, so I think this is great for those of us who love changing our nails like we change our outfits! EcoEmi is a little bit different.  In this program, you will receive 5-10 samples of natural, organic, green, and eco-friendly beauty, food, and household products once a month for $15.00.  This is a wonderful way to try new green, eco-friendly products and if you like them, you can purchase the fullsize products.  Deluxe size samples give you enough product to really try it.  These are not a 1 time use samples!  New Beauty Test Tube is a quarterly program where you will receive up to 10 Exclusive, deluxe and/or full size beauty and cosmetic products, plus you receive The New Beauty Magazine, valued at $10.00, all for $29.95 every 3 months.  You can skip a shipment easily, if you need to.  You get a large amount of product for the price and the products are from the best in the beauty industry.    New Beauty Test Tube - QVC Edition is exactly the same as the original Test Tubes but you receive products sold on QVC.  It is very rare for the two to have overlapping products.  The newest Test Tube for QVC will be premiering in the next week or so.  You can keep checking QVC.com to see when it is released or check back here because I will announce it here as well. FAQ's: Do these programs seem to good to be true?  What do these companies get out of these types of programs?  The answer is simple...Feedback!  All of these programs want you to try their products and then leave your feedback so they know what needs to be changed. Am I locked into these programs?  No.  You cancel at any time and with some programs, you can skip a shipment without losing your membership. Why would I want samples?  There are a few different reasons why.  First, if you are a beauty junkie and love trying everything new, these programs allow you to "try before you buy".  Second, beauty bloggers always want to try the newest products so we can review the products for you, the reader. Am I going to get a bunch of the same products if I join more than one program?  Rarely.  Each of the different sites listed above, has products from different brands, so you get a full array of products.  You don't have to join all of them at once!  Take a look at all of the options, and then make the choice based on which program suits your needs the best. Please let me know if there are more programs to add or if you have any questions! ~beautylovingmom~ 

The reviews I leave on products, programs, etc. are my own opinions and have nothing to do with the Brands named.
