I have written another guide on why to buy cosmetic samples in lots.

This time I would like to tell you why I think it's a good idea to purchase a big variety of samples , especially if they are going to be for a girlie party, photo shoot or for your own expermenting with colors.

To get this big variety , purchase a Mary Kay mixed sample lot that offers more than just  current colors. Those are easy to get.

Remember, Mary Kay changes their product and colors just slightly several times a year.  That does not mean that you won't enjoy the discontinued products, it only means that the more often the company changes colors or packaging, the more often their consultants have to re-purchase products.

So, unless you are a Mary Kay consultant yourself, you might find a mix of current and discontinued product samples more to your liking, and definetly more fun! Lots more variety that way. Most of my samples are current or recent , since they are by far the easiest to find. But I like to add variety with some of the older lines. Sometimes I even  like to add  a vintage, very hard to find item in my MK lots.  The colors were great back then too, and are now rare find.

If you do find a discontinued product of color , you can always look on ebay . It's nice to have a MK consultant, of course, but ebay will have almost any discontinued MK item. The shelf life of many of these products is years.

Whichever samples you try, have fun and ENJOY!

I would sure enjoy a YES vote below! THANKS!
