Get use out of your Sachet Samples

As a beauty buff I love trying out new products and I wouldn’t turn down a free sample but I must admit I’m not really a fan of sachet samples. I find them awkward to squeeze out product and tend to only use them once if ever at all.

I received 5 sachet samples of Kerastase Nectar Thermique leave in heat protectant in my November Lust Have It box. To use you apply an almond sized amount to towel dried hair before heat styling – not really practical when packaged in a sachet.

To get the best use out of this product I purchased two cosmetic jars from Priceline and carefully squeezed each sachet into the jars. The cosmetic jars also came with a spatula which would be helpful for more creamer or thicker products.


I managed to fill both jars with product which will now be easier to use and will be great for travel.


With liquid travel restrictions now in place you can purchase cosmetic jars and bottles from just about anywhere and are great for transferring sachet samples or reducing your full size favourites for travel.

  1. I do the same thing with my sachets of samples and I'm always shocked at how much product is inside those things. They seem to last forever once it's been transferred whereas if I just use the product out of the sachet I waste it so quickly!

  4. I use similar containers as you do too! Sample satchets usually contain more than a 'one time use' amount, so these containers are so convenient.
