Ah Facebook, perhaps one of the greatest websites ever created, well besides TotalBeauty.com (of course) -- shameless, we know. Started by some computer science nerds at Harvard, the little-social-networking-site-that-could quickly expanded to become everyone's favorite destination for distraction. People love it for a variety of reasons, which is probably why it has been such a huge cultural phenomenon. Where else can you keep up with friends and family, spy on ex-boyfriends, network or even see how many pounds the prom queen gained since high school? Whether you joined to build virtual farms (no judgment), or if you're like us and just wanted another place to gab about beauty products and makeup trends; you aren't alone in your obsessive adoration of the site.

Fan pages have recently become all the rage on Facebook. Love ketchup? Become a fan. Obsessed with Project Runway? Become a fan. Adore popping bubble wrap? Yup, you can become a fan. Get the point? You can pretty much "become a fan" of every product, service, celebrity or brand nowadays, but do you really want updates like "I bet my dirty sock can get more fans than California"? We would much rather be notified about things we care about on a day-to-day basis, like, you guessed it: free makeup and beauty products!

But with so many pages out there it's hard for any beauty-loving gal to weed through the good and the bad of Facebook fandom. That's why we compiled the 11 best pages to fan on Facebook. Some pages are stores, some are brands, and some are beauty bloggers, but they all do their best to offer you free beauty samples and products, alert you of sales, notify you about giveaways and contests and keep you up to date on the best beauty bargains. So if you're a fan of "free," fan these pages stat.

My favourite is loyalty schemes like I Conjure Candles have because then you get something back. They should all have money off for friends.

Although The Beauty Place page on Facebook didn't make it on your list, they hold contests and have giveaways all the time. For example, you can win a Pink Bio Ionic Whisper Light ProDryer Set for the best beauty tip submitted today on their facebook page. I thought you might all be interested in additional legitimate places for chances to win free (and high quality) prizes. Thanks!
