Today I received an email for a free mineral makeup "discovery kit". Of course it contained the word free so I was instantly intrigued. Upon further inspection it turned out to be a "not really free" situation. One that's common in the cosmetic industries "club" programs. You know, the type of club where you're billed every 30 days to continue receiving the product. Sometimes in our excitement we miss the part of the offer that states you will be enrolled in a club and just see "free".
Today's not really free promotion was brought to me by the folks over at The Glow Beauty Lounge and it was for the Raw Minerals discovery kit. I've never tried the product so I can't speak to it's greatness, but I never trust any promotion that automatically enrolls me into a "club" that bills me every 30 days.
The "Internet Advertised Offers" on The Glow Beauty Lounge site are all "club" type offers. I had received one awhile back for another mineral makeup "Glow Minerals", which was suspiciously the same as the Raw Minerals deal I received today (same free gift of cheap brushes and all).
I am definitely a huge fan of mineral makeup. Not only as a 40+ year old woman who wants to look natural and nice, but also as an esthetician who takes ingredients and the health of the skin into consideration as well. In the next several weeks I will post several articles with regards to applying mineral makeup correctly, reviews of mineral makeup and a DIY for creating a hydrating mist that does double-duty when used as a setting spray for mineral makeup.
If I come across free offers in regards to mineral makeup I'll post that as well.....
