Wouldn’t you just love to try out a product before you commit to a full size? That’s what’s so great about samples. And what about easily accessing these samples? Wouldn’t it be great to pick from a vending machine full of great products? Well, now you might be able to.

At the Nordstrom in the Aventura Mall in Florida, a vending machine of sample products is available for customers to check out. Products range in price from $3-5 and you receive a deluxe-size sample of skin care, hair care, or makeup products. It’s the perfect way to try that fab new product you’ve been dying to check out but don’t really want to shell out the cash for without knowing how it works on you.

This new idea has been implemented by Boca Raton-based New Beauty Magazine. The goal is to feature products in the vending machine that can be found on the pages of their magazine. The goal is to place more of the vending machines around the country in malls and at airports.

I love this idea. How many times have you sampled a full-size product only to realize that it’s not really for you? I’ve done it countless times. I hope to see a New Beauty Sample Bar near me soon!
