As a shopper, it’s part of your natural process to want to sample a product before you commit to a purchase. By shopping these stores, you can guarantee that you’ll be able to try it out before you buy:
Sephora
Along with rows upon rows of the highest quality makeup on the market for every budget, Sephora is well known for their helpful employees who will aid you in finding the perfect beauty products to fit your needs and teaching you to use each product. By being able to try out a new shade of lipstick to make sure you’ve got the right color for your completion or see which concealer works best with your skin type, you’re able to make sure the product your purchasing really does the job the bottle promises all before leaving the store. Don’t forget to ask for samples to bring home too!
On top of that, you can buy a product, test it out at home for a while, and return it if it’s not what you expected. Yes, you can return any beauty product at Sephora after using it as long as there is more than 50% of the product left. Being able to test drive makeup for a whole week or more, now that’s amazing!
Apple Store
Lined with the highest tech gadgets in every row, the Apple Store is the one stop shop to check out all the latest inventions that Apple has to offer. Every model offered in their current line is always available on the sales floor for you to test out. Thinking about getting a new laptop or iPhone, head over to the Apple Store to get your hands on them and see exactly how each of their products work. Just do everyone a favor and don’t drool all over the new rose gold iPhone 6s plus, we know you’re all just dying to get your hands on one!
Costco
If you’re looking to broaden your menu plans this week, or perhaps want to impress your guests at an upcoming holiday party, Costco is a great place to try out new foods and drinks. On weekends they have plenty of sample stations set up through the store for you to taste their latest and greatest products. With everything from sparkling cocktail mixers, to decedent appetizers, to delicious desserts, you can easily taste a whole meal in one afternoon. Your guests will certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness in picking out such a great party menu if you take advantage of visiting Costco beforehand! It’s practically a free lunch on the weekends if you play your cards right!
Brookestone
If you’re looking to give a gift to the person who already has everything they need, chances are they haven’t stopped by Brookestone lately. With a vast selection of home comfort goods like massage chairs to gel infused slippers and an exciting sample of tech pieces like Bluetooth speakers and miniature flying drones available, heading to your nearest Brookestone store can prove to be a great place to find unique gifts that you can see in action right in the store.
