Are the samples like mini bottles or lipsticks etc?
No. Please read the following closely. Since we began, we have made our own samples. They are not professionally made by the manufacturers. We have to do them here, and we put the liquid items into sample pots, and the powder products into mini zip lock baggies. We also put lipstick samples in mini zip lock baggies. The samples are about 1/8th tsp up to 1/4oz depending upon the item. They are not for re-sell. They are to accomodate customers who are seeking to make sure that they want a full size product as returns are limited except on defective products or manufacturer approval.
