Although getting free beauty samples is always fun, Studio Beautymix at Fred Segal knows they're far more rewarding when you have to work for them. To that end, the boutique has started holding twice-monthly "Pleasure Hunts," in order to add a little more interest to the try-before-you-buy game. Every other Friday, the Santa Monica shop will release a "treasure map" providing clues to the locations of three deluxe samples that will be strategically placed around the store. This Friday, the hunt will include a full-sized Stila lip and cheek stain, deluxe samples of Juliette Has a Gun fragrances, and one additional product that will remain a secret until the launch day. To join the search party, simply bring your map along and present it with the samples—we'll be posting one on Friday when it's revealed.
