What companies have you gotten samples from?

[korsis]

For those of you who received samples from Dr. Brandt... did it take a while to get them? They responded almost immediately when I emailed them on 7/25 & said they'd send some, but I haven't gotten them yet. Will probably wait a week or so before I email them to follow up, but just curious how long it took everyone else to get theirs!

No, I got them within days. I got bb creams as requested. Maybe ask them in a couple days again?

 

[jayeme]

I've gotten a few good ones in the last couple of days!



An Escada perfume sample on a postcard, Oribe, Dr. Bronner's, Jurlique, and Nature's Gate. Plus I got some haircare samples with my Ulta order, but I forgot to put those in the photo /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So true! I would fire my employees if they would pack like that!

Hello! I am new - Kind of ....I have been lurking around for a while, and just figured out how to post! I subscribe to Ipsy, Birchbox, Lip Factory, and Julep. That is what first brought me to makeup talk, Then I found this thread and its AMAZING! I started emailing company's about a week and a half ago, and for the last 4 days My Mailbox has been stuffed with samples. I started off with an old birchbox on my dresser to hold my samples and am quickly realizing that wont work since its overflowing. I have spent hours going through this thread emailing all of the company's that you ladies got yes's from as well as I have found a few on my own

My favorite so far have been - Paulas Choice - She sent me a TON, Jane Iredale, and Murad (these were my only ones so far that were not packets but deluxe size.) 

To top it all off - I am usually super excited about my sub box's but I think I will be Passing on one if not two ... Birchbox has not impressed me lately and I feel - like why would I pay for it when these company's are giving it to me for free? Although I cannot bring myself to part with Lip Factory Or Ipsy! 

I do have a question for you ladies though... I know some of you have purchased Rain Cosmetics samples - I am really debating it , It seem pretty cheap for 3 "deluxe Samples" But before I do I wanted to ask What the ladies that did purchase these thought about there products? They look nice -yet I would rather have your ladies opinion!

Let me know ! Thanks for listening to my ramble! and Thank You ladies for all your hard work on this thread! ( I did not keep a list but have been talking pictures as i receive things ) So I appreciate the patience you all have in listing all of these companys!

Hello there! I love this thread too! Haha! Can you tell us also which companies you found that aren't mentioned here? ;-) unfortunately I can not tell you anything about rain cause I did not purchase samples. Paulas customer service is amazing as are her products. I will order full sizes as soon as I'm out of my samples! I have never gotten a birch box or so cause I rather buy myself something I know I love or need, instead of getting surprised with colors I don't wear or things I don't need! Haha!

 

[NaturalMonroe]

I know that jane cater give samples of their products actually one sample and depening on the product you can get a deluxe size

 

[ttanner2005]

I'm getting a sample in my birchbox that i already got just by asking ARCONA for the cranberry gommage. I wonder if it will be the same size I already got.

 

[NaturalMonroe]

Does anyone knows any other companies that give samples i already send some companies emails twice and how do you get mario baduescu? ? Samples

What email are you using to contact Arcona? I contacted them twice with the "contact me" email tab on their page. I haven't heard anything and it's been over a month!

Me too! I have emailed them a couple of times. I am curious how everyone is getting a response from them. I haven't heard a peep out of them. The samples look nice too!
