Yup! A lot of people got 'no's' on the companies I spoke to actually.

I want to work in retail and marketing though so I think I have a bit of an edge when I write my letters! ^.^"

Although that being said I've also gotten plenty of no's! In fact, Viktor and Rolf was one of them!

But I have 31 boxes coming my way and I still have companies to contact.

What you want to do is take the online Erno Lazlo test first, then say which one you got (Oily, slightly oily, Dry, ect.) Mention they don't sell near you (unless they do) and ask for a few samples. Which has worked for me. That being said if a ton of people start doing that, they may tighten their belts and say no.

Anyway, more companies I'm getting stuff from!

I got makeup from Napoleon today! Red lipstick (blood color which is beautiful) lipgloss (Brown shade Ill probably wear never) and BB and Foundation and Primer samples. It was Fed-ex'd to me, there was construction on my road so I didn't get any packages from my mail box. Tomorrow I'll be busy as well so it won't be until Wednesday I can get the mail. I'm going to write the Mail Man a thank you letter because he's done a good job as a mail man and all my Mail must annoy him. 

Also more companies that have said yes!

Crabtree & Evelyn

Nivea

NuNAAt

La Bella Donna

Desert Essence

NUXE

Curlisto

Sulwhasoo

 
Holy crap guys, I got like eight packages at once yesterday and I am swimming in foil packs. I have so many that I literally grabbed a fistfull of them and "made it rain" on my roommate. She thinks I've gone mad with power. Sample power. And she may be right.

I'm super excited because this will give me a chance find things that I like and review things I normally wouldn't buy. So far my favorites have been the Dr. Hauschka cleanser and toner, the Eve Lom Morning Time Cleanser, the Moody Sisters Sugar Scrub, and the Erno Lazlo Illuminating Eye Gel.

That's fantastic! Is the oscar blandi hair spray any good? I have been looking for a good hair spray to hold my curls.

Haha, I have an image of making it rain, sample style! Came home to 5 samples from Tocca, 4 from Nest fragrances and Frederick fekkai. It's an addiction man! Finding some great companies to buy from that I wouldn't have otherwise though!

How did you contact Fekkai? I couldn't get ahold of them.

I most definitely won't make it rain, I have 6 full baggies of separated samples and I don't want to unseperate them! I have them all in order packaged so I can get what I need. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just contacted them through their website, I think I used the email concerning orders in the contact me area. It was a while back, maybe a month.

 
Some of the stuff I got today, already used Koh gen doh's cleansing water and absolutely love it! Their foundations are okay not the best. 20140630_140328.jpg

 
I got my aloe source and nazalie samples in and they really hooked me up.The aloe source sent me a full size chapstick that they sell for 8 bucks on their site.

      Hey up there pokeballssohard.... people are always calling me a sample addict too, but gosh its a good feeling to come home to a bunch of samples.Sometime's my husband will say are you still sampling in there and ill be half passed out on the computer lol.

    Does anyone know how long it takes to get the free samples from pinch me. I have two different orders supposedly one the way and the first I ordered in may. They are supposed to re-up on july 15th at noon, if anyone wants to get a free box. In order to get the free samples I log in a few minutes before noon and just keep refreshing the page. Last time all samples were gone by 12:04.

 
Also, can none provide a link that will take me straight to Tocca's contact form--either that, or an email? This...blessed iPad does not like to open the intact page from the website!

@@beautylush my PINCHMe samples usually come very close to my review date (within a day or two before my review is due).

Okay thanks!! I actually just got my first order this morning. I ordered shampoo and they actually send a conditioner too, travel sized. I'll have to go ahead and do my reviews now, so I don't forget. I wouldn't want to mess it up:)
