Of course, you could get lucky, but makeup at this store can be really hit or miss. This is because there’s no samples, so you just have to guess if the product will be good. Also, sometimes customers turn non-samples into samples… Ew!

Their prices are great and the quality is perfect. Plus, they usually have lots of colors and patterns to choose from.
Like the makeup, there are no samples and everything is sealed. So you can go ahead and buy, but you’re risking buying something that smells horrendous!

Apparently, the yoga mats at Marshalls aren’t the best quality. The price might seem right, but they end up being a bit thin and slippery. Of course, there might be a good one! Just make sure to do research on the brand before purchasing.

Sadly, some of the sheets include synthetic fibers which aren’t the most comfortable. They have pretty patterns, but it’s best to opt for sheets with a high thread-count and breathable, long-lasting cotton.

Don’t buy: hair products
Like the makeup situation, a lot of the hair products kind of turn into samples. And they’re also pricey at Marshalls. So you’re not saving a ton of money AND you might be going home with a used product.

Don’t buy: cheap kitchen supplies
Try to stray away from the cheap kitchen supplies, like measuring cups. While it may be tempting, you will probably find they don’t work or aren’t that great and will end up buying new ones anyway.
