Media brands are increasingly turning to the beauty sampling market to drive engagement with their audience and offer beauty brands a route to market. Earlier this year British Vogue launched the Vogue Insiders club, which enables readers to sample new launch products and feed back on them, as well as gain early access to events and dedicated content.
