But a beauty guru friend was raving about free makeup she recieved through mail, totally free through Influenster. So of course I had to check it out and the company is very legit and have several opportunities to earn free stuff monthly. And yeah, their is a catch- you have to promote the products sent to you, but isn't that what we do anyways?
