The sampler includes a top ply, a bottom ply, an intermediate ply, having a well formed therein, a sample of cosmetic is applied, and all of said plies are heat sealed through a mild application that allows for the top ply to peel free from the middle and bottom plies during usage. A dry peel base label is secured by a dry peel adhesive to the underside of the bottom ply, so that when the sampler is received by the consumer, the entire sampler can be released from the dry peel base, and conveyed or used separately. A release liner secures a supply of pressure sensitive adhesive to the bottom of the dry peel base, so that when the sampler is applied to a carrier, such as a sheet, brochure, card, or other type of carrier, the release liner may be separated manually or by machinery and applied to such carrier in preparation for its delivery to the potential consumer.
