Just recently discovered this website and this is 1 of my favorite threads. I signed up on the mario Badescu website and filled out the skincare questionnaire and as someone else stated received an email a few days later and they are going to send me 7 samples. Thanks to everyone for all the great info.

 
Got the samples from Leonor Greyl today! 2 shampoos 2 kinds of hair masks and one smaller packette of serum! cant wait to try!​

These are the Jouer samples I got. I was told I was supposed to receive the lip enhancer as well, but didn't. I'm not too worried about it though because I don't really need it. The four packets of luminizing tint are all different colors, even though the girl I was speaking with asked me to choose a shade.

My per-fekt samples! Absolutely love the packaging! I got the lash perfection gel, the brow perfection gel, skin perfection gel, and lip perfection gel. Can't wait to try them!

I also e-mailed Juice Beauty and Jurlique. Both said they'll be sending me some samples!

Jouer got back to me within 24 hours, and per-fékt never responded to my e-mail but sent out the sample the same day as I contacted them, because it arrived in the mail 2 days later.

 
1. I LOVE the idea of sending it to our awesome service women/donating it locally. 2. Sign up for the Sephora Insider Beauty Rewards Card. You will earn points for every purchase and then get deluxe samples that you can send to your daughter. In stores, they will give you the foil packets with purchase, online you can choose 3-5 samples of foil packets per purchase. Right now they're doing a 5 samples thing.. so maybe you want to buy something there!!!
My hubby shakes his head every time I get a sub box in the mail because he is a guy and just doesn't get it. I love getting my little goodies in the mail. Not only to try some out but to send to my daughter and to donate. I don't send her makeup since she doesn't wear any at the moment but she loves little packets of skincare items. The girls pamper themselves (like a mini spa day) on their off time which is very little. She's coming home in 3 months after being away from almost 6 months. I've set aside some makeup for her that I've been picking up here and there and she's got quite the box waiting for her. I just took a good sized box of goodies to the women's shelter and was talking to the director who was telling me how the women really appreciate the stuff. A lot of these women leave with just the clothes on their backs so having even samples to kinda pamper themselves really helps lift their spirits. The director was telling me how they have been putting together makeup kits together for the women for job interviews and such. They help them get outfits for interviews and going back to work so the makeup, hair and body products are nice to include. I've only heard back from one company so far and it was Sabon. Here is the email they sent me? I'm wondering if anyone got the same type of email. Because from what I read, people got a trial size foot cream. "Thank you for contacting us! While we are generally unable to send samples separately from an order, I am more than happy to make an exception. Because we have almost run out of samples completely, however, I have rummaged up all I could find to send to you along with a you a travel size of one of our products. Also, I would like to let you know that if you decided to try our products and for some reason did not enjoy them, we would be more than happy to either return or exchange them for you, as long as it could be determined that it was not used more than once. Enjoy and have a wonderful day!" That was really nice of them to gather up sampled for me. Honestly, I would've been just as happy to get only the foot cream. But the samples will go to use as I plan on putting them all in my next box for the shelter. I believe in paying it forward so I may set a few aside to send to someone here that wasn't able to get anything from them. Sharing the love of samples is my motto :)

For those four (Jouer, Per-fekt, Juice Beauty, and Jurlique) within 24-48 hours. Maybe you should contact them again. Mention you tried contacting them, got no response the first time, and that you are really interested in their company and products, so you're hoping to get a reply back. That's what I would do.

 
Just so people know, you need to fill out the form on Nume's site, rather than sending an e-mail.  The e-mail I tried to send came back as undeliverable.

I did receive a response from Wei East this morning saying they'd mail me some samples.  I contacted them on the 18th, so they must be running behind.

Sorry the quality isn't the greatest - my phone camera stinks, and I didn't want to go through the hassle of using my real camera :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyway, I noted in one of my last posts that I actually received two different responses from two separate reps, and sure enough, I received two separate packages.

The first was just a card (pictured) with the small red mud mask samples.

The second was a large box.  This came with the little tub of the mud mask, two packs of the pomegranate buffing beads, the Tibetan Chrysanthemum correcting eye treatment pads, as well as that (very healthy sized) Chinese Rose foaming cleanser.  It's funny that I got all of that just for asking for the mud mask!

I also got my Jouer samples today, but didn't take a picture.  It's just a small samples of their lip enhancer, their lip gloss in "wind," and lip gloss in "tender."

I also got a package from my mom today, so I came home to a full mailbox!
Is this WEI the same company as WEI east? I think I emailed the wrong company asking for buffing beads! lol It was WEI east who responded they were out of samples and would send next week!

 
I just spoke with a lady from nia, and she was very skeptical & suspicious when I asked abt the introductory kit. She said she would mail it, but was curious as to how & where I learned of it. When I told her I found out on the little paper that is included with the samples, she questioned me further- "I know, but where did you get that"? I was a little taken off guard (I'm a horrible liar), but I did tell her I received it from a friend. She did not seem to buy it, but nonetheless will mail my kit. Just thought I'd give people the heads up, if anyone plans on calling. The woman said she is receiving lots of calls regarding the kit, so it made her wonder how people are finding out. Yes, lady4, it's the same outfit.

Is it the same?  They're 2 different websites, one is WEI East, and one is WEI Beauty.  I thought they were 2 separate companies.

I think that may be somewhat influenced by this thread; lol..It is nice to receive free samples from time to time, especially if you plan on doing future business with these companies. There is a lot of traffic through our threads, not just by members. So I can imagine that these companies are experiencing a lot of people contacting them about scoring samples, via email or phone..especially since contact info is being posted.

 
WEI contacted me today saying that they are shipping off samples this week.

My mom ordered Caldrea samples after seeing mines and received the dish soap and spot treater



And I got my Jurlique samples

How long did it take them to get back with you?

 
I love this thread. I emailed Jurlique and they responded in less than 20 minutes asking me questions about my skin and my mailing address. Thanks to everyone for all the great info. I'm still waiting to hear from Wei, Jouer and perfekt.

 
Lis, the photo van posted showed a card signed, "Wei east", so I figured it was that. I know that's who I contacted for samples. I'll post when I receive

Ah, I see that now. I contacted WEI. They had said they'd send them when they got more in stock but I haven't heard anything.
