7 Brands That Give Free Lip Balm Samples with a Purchase
3. The Merman Co.
Who says lip balms are just for women?
The Merman’s sea-based sun care products are loaded with nutrients that heal & protect men’s skin & hair from the elements, recover from sun damage, & invigorate the senses with an authentic sea-breeze aroma.
The Merman’s Lip Balm contains rum, seaweed, coconut and aloe. This recipe helps in moisturizing, softening and sealing the lips with natural humectants, occlusive and emollients.
Add this free sample to cart and not only do you receive a free 1-use sample of The Merman’s Lip Balm–Aloe + Coconut + Seaweed + Rum, you also get free The Merman stickers!
4. M.A.C. Cosmetics
My favorite way to score a free product from M.A.C. is through their Back 2 M.A.C. Take-Back Program.
All you have to do is return six empty M.A.C. containers to a participating M.A.C. counter, and in return, you can choose a standard M.A.C. lip-gloss, lipstick, or small eye shadow.
If you’re a repeat customer, another way to get free lip balm samples is through the MAC Lover loyalty program.
Like most rewards programs, you’ll need to sign up first to start earning points. You’ll earn one loyalty point for every $1 spent on any MAC store (online or offline). Once you’ve earned enough points, you can redeem them toward purchase of M.A.C. lip balm or lip primers.
5. Sephora
At Sephora, there’s always something new that you can try on for free at checkout.
It's a giant box of free samples and it comes right to your door at no cost.
Click here and get yours.
Here are some of the available samples that you can get for free, and one of these freebies is a balm. Of course, the samples can change from time to time, but as they promise, they will never run out of free samples to give away.
I tried adding to cart one lipstick just to know if I can choose a sample upon checkout, and guess what? They let me choose three samples even if I only have one lipstick in my cart.
They also offer free shipping at a minimum spend.
Note that Sephora doesn’t offer free samples during sale, so if you’re eyeing a freebie from the store, wait until the sale ends to purchase.
6. Lip Smacker
You can get a gift from Lip Smacker for every minimum purchase of $25 from their bestselling products. I tried to add at least $25 worth of products, and I got one free lip balm inside my cart.
Aside from the gift, Lip Smacker also collaborates with any social influencer, blogger or vlogger interested. LipSmacker Balm Squad Affiliates earn competitive commissions and exclusive LipSmacker products.
So, if you want to get a lip balm for free, now is the time to splurge on Lip Smacker’s cute and colorful products.
7. E.L.F.
E.L.F. is giving away a gift with a minimum purchase of $25. What I like about E.L.F. is that they let you choose the gift that comes with your purchase.
And like with other shops, these gift options do change now and then at their discretion and without prior notice, so there might not be any free lip balm samples when you try to get some.
8. Everyday Minerals
Everyday Minerals still has an extensive list of products on their free sample page, which showcases all the different shades of their makeup lines. Unfortunately, they no longer include free lip balm samples anymore. (Yup, they used to!)
The good news is you can still join promotions on their social networks (Facebook, Instagram) whenever Everyday Minerals host Buy 1, Get 1, giveaways, contests, and other promos to get your hands of their lip balms.
You can also send them a message through this form or an email at thanks@everydayminerals.com and send a sample request directly. You’ll never know when companies like this decide to get generous. You also don’t lose anything if you try.
9. Nordstrom
Are you in the mood for an early online Christmas shopping?
If you are, then, you should not miss to check out the special offers of Nordstrom. Their featured gifts right now are products from Clinique, Estee Lauder, Lancome, and more.
And since you are looking for a free lip balm, you can start with your $30 Buxom purchase. Once you add to cart, you’ll receive a deluxe sample of Power-full Plump Lip Balm in Big O (0.03oz.) with your $30 Buxom purchase.
Bonus Tips on How to Get Free Lip Balm Samples (No Purchase Necessary)
1. Join a Review Community
While it may sound like a sisterhood or even a support group, review communities are different. People don’t come together in a group to discuss some issues or help each other out. Instead, review communities or brand communities are sites that offer free products to their members to try on, in exchange for their honest review or answers to their survey questions.
Are you interested in receiving free samples, coupons, or exclusive offers while helping brands improve their products? Here are some of the popular review communities where you can get some free lip balms and other freebies:
2. Search on Instagram and Facebook
It might sound like a no-brainer, but this is a practical tip that really works.
I am sure we are all aware of how massive Instagram is, and how it’s considered a marketing haven for shops that sell items with a strong visual appeal like cosmetics and skincare products.
In your free time, simply type in #freelipbalm in the search box because chances are there will be huge brands and small business owners who might be running a giveaway at that time. You can also try typing #giveaways or #beautygiveaways in the search box.
Go on, try your luck, and you might not just receive a free lip balm in return.
And while you’re at it, search Facebook as well.
Got Enough Free Lip Balm Samples?
If you haven’t discovered beauty/skincare/makeup subscription boxes yet, you’re in for a treat. Companies like GlossyBox, BirchBox, IPSY, Allure Beauty Box, and other similar ones organize a box of awesome products every month and send it to their subscribers for a monthly fee.
While there is no guarantee you’ll receive free lip balm samples through any of these subscription boxes, the retail value of lip balm makes it one of the most cost effective products to include in a box of beauty/skincare/makeup goodies. This means your chances of getting a lip balm with every box is high.
If you love free makeup like me, you’ll probably LOVE learning about other makeup freebies from big and small brands.
