A bb cream, 2 foundations, 2 powders, 3 blushes, 2 lipsticks, 5 small skin care samples, and a weeks worth of coconut oil for the skin fast. Wow!!!

Interesting! How do you get the stuff out of these things? I got little jars but a couple of them, like the toner, and also the coconut oil are spilled or even empty, (diffused?) think its way too hot here in Florida, so these jars can not keep up with the heat in an envelope. I mean we are still in the 90s here...
 
Just placed a small $13 order with PC for some more samples/deluxe samples including the 2% BHA gel & the Resist BHA 9 to test out. Free shipping plus 3 extra free samples... woo hoo!

Hello all, Its not very often i get to use a desktop computer and I have yet to figure out how to post on my phone or Ipad. But I am currently working on my list of companys that have sent me things - Just wanted to pop in and say the samples Im loving the most at the moment, are LAFACE - Im in love but cannot for the life of me figure out how i might ever afford to purchase there products :-( .... But the samples were generous!! so theyll last a bit.

And I know lots of you have little ones - So My other favorite is Original Sprout, Hair & Body Babywash. My son is 4 and I have always been trying to find a way to make his hair Healthier, softer and smell good - and I can Honestly say that I will be purchasing this very soon - This stuff is amazing - My Sons hair has never been So Soft - and even at the end of the day I can still smell his little head and it smells so good! ( which is rare for a 4 year old boy ... LOL )

its expensive but well worth the money !

I second this about LAFACE . . . amazing how long the samples lasted but wow--expensive. The face wash is my favorite. After I work my way through all my samples I might just splurge . . . the tiniest amount of their cleanser works beautifully. And I love re-using their adorable plastic pots for re-potting foil packet samples.

 
Ziaja seems to be eavesdropping. They now offer samples starting at .12 with $1.99 shipping. Much smarter than sending rude emails.

This is actually a result of the discussion I started via email with the owner. I initially emailed him because his response to a MUT member requesting samples came off as rude and unnecessary. We emailed back and forth a couple of times and he thanked me for my constructive criticism. Yesterday I received another note from him, letting me know about the sample program on their website. He said my email had a positive influence on his business. I'm pretty happy with his response to this situation. I explained why his initial email had upset me, and he ended up creating an alternative solution for samples and followed up with me to let me know about it. People do make mistakes, and he's just one person running this company, so I think I may decide to give him another chance and order some samples. What about you guys?

I'm in! And I think he owes you a free batch of samples (in case he's reading this...). Anyway I'm excited to try the goat's milk skincare products they offer. Goat's milk intrigues me, just not as a beverage.

I won't, but not because of the response. As I said before I have issues with a company marketing lines of product as suitable for sensitive skin and then reading the label and finding ingredients like fragrance. The company is not for me or my skin. I can always slap some perfume on it and call it a day.

LOL. I don't think I've ever drank goat's milk (do people do that?) but I've definitely had cheese made from it, and that's one of life's great pleasures!  But also one of those very polarizing foods, people seem to either love it or hate it.

I confess that once I found out my favorite Mexican restaurant used goat cheese I couldn't eat there anymore, even though I remember loving their cheese dishes. I have issues! But as far as in lotion and such it seems like a nourishing, appealing choice. I just don't want to know my cheese is from a goat. If I think too much about my cheese even being from a cow, however . . . ew.

As far as samples, I wanted to mention I made a purchase from Beecology, after loving their shower gel. It smells soooo good, better than anything more expensive I've tried, really natural and fresh and sweet. Beecology! Keep them in mind for sample requests or purchases, people!  

 
I finally used my scrub that I got from red flower... and I am addicted to it. So amazing... but $66!!??? :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

True! I love it (and everything from red flower I got) too, but its way to expensive. But a little goes a long way here!

Feel better!! I'm thinking of doing the same thing as an effort to not do homework. YAY GRAD SCHOOL LAZINESS STRIKES AGAIN.
