Preloot: The latest beauty box service in Singapore
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:03
Beauty commitment is hard. That’s why Preloot is here to let you try out beauty samples before you buy the real deal.
Buying a beauty product you’ve never tried before is tricky. What if your skin reacts to it? Or the colour just doesn’t suit you? Unfortunately with beauty products, the refund policy doesn’t apply once opened, which means you’ve wasted a good sum of money on something you can’t use. Buying a beauty product requires commitment, and with most things being relatively expensive in Singapore, most of us would prefer to test out samples before purchasing the full-sized version.
The frustration of not being able to make a purchase with confidence and the lack of available beauty samples in Singapore is what led Felix Goh and Joyce Teo to set up Preloot, an online beauty sampling service which allows beauty enthusiasts to sample beauty products of all kinds. Current beauty brands available include SoapLah, Katfood, Basic Theory, Eco Cosmetics and Siam Botanicals to name a few.
To be sure, beauty boxes are not anything new, but unlike other similar entities, Preloot does not require a monthly subscription to sample their products. This is certainly convenient (on our wallets) as we can’t imagine going through samples upon samples of beauty products for 6 months straight, as nice as it sounds on paper. For a flat rate of SGD8.99, that includes delivery, you’ll get to choose up to 5 beauty samples to be delivered to your doorstep monthly, or whenever you wish to try out new beauty products. Should you happen to love the samples you’ve tried, you can head to the LootStore online to make a purchase.
