What companies have you gotten samples from?

[djonae18]

If you have a Facebook and you guys want to join a GREAT panel that not only sends you free things to try for feedback but also gives you incentives for it (IE; a free beauty product, money, gift cards as well as the beauty product you get to test and talk about) you guys should join the ThePinkPanel on Facebook!

I Joined them at the begining of the year & I qualified for a testing and they sent me this:


All you have to do is follow the directions they give you for testing them and then complete a survey about the products. They also sent me a $25 giftcard for participating.

I received a nasty response from Malin + Goetz also and I was offended so much that I sent a snooty email back. But on a better note The lift lab, Prana spa ceuticals, Pro Swiss, Absolutely natural and Botanical me all said yes! I'm super excited, good luck ladies!

I emailed nailtiques about a week ago and haven't heard back! should I try again?

I usually wait at least two weeks to email them back but they haven't answered me bk yet either.

I agree, two weeks and write another email. The same happened for me. 

I will wait another week before I message them.

Although "Snooty" isn't probably the best way about it, it's always good to message a company back telling them that there poor behavior will be reported to the business bureau and that your recommendations will be against the company for poor customer service and will be expressed as so on social media and reviewing groups that you take part in.

It's good for them to know to watch their backs for being rude to those who request, there is no need of it and they can politely say "no".

Here's my first month of getting samples that is minus the stuff I didn't use haha. I'm still amazed by how generous some companies are.

Has anyone else had trouble receiving their package from L'occitane? I was supposed to get samples from them at the end of last year & they had to resend it twice but I never got it. Now this time around I asked if they could try again & they did & it's ben over a month & no package from them. They say they have no way of tracking the packages.

I'm not sure I'm doing this right but I'm newish here and trying to figure things out. I had an issue receiving my first set of samples from them but the next set came just fine. Altgough I have to say that the same thing has happened with other companies also soooo idk.

That's kinda what I meant by snooty lol I didn't mention the better business bureau but said ide be sure to mention their substandard customer service via social media and beauty forums. I don't understand how some people go out of their way to be rude.... I simple no would have done just fine and been less to write.

On a better note, Sublime beauty sent some awesome samples Saturday plus two full sized products! I luuuuuv them! I've only used them twice so far but OMG I SWEAR I see a difference in the firmness pig my face plus my skin is feeling great! They made a believer out of me for sure. Great customer service and so very generous. Good luck ladies!

 

[Mickayla-Kat Dussault]

Ah I see! Hopefully we'll get better service from those companies.

L'Occtaine had really weird customer service and sent me a message saying "Yes all are great" when I asked for samples, and I messaged them a second time and they said they'd send out samples and apologized there former empolyee couldn't help me. 

They sent them out fine after. So maybe it's just a fluke. Honestly they only sent me like 4-5 foil samples and I hated the eye cream and the night cream was WAY too thick so maybe it's not worth the trouble?

Maybe it's not but I really wanted to try out their hair products. I guess I'll just have to go in-store to check out the products. Did anyone try & like their hair products?

I tried thier basic shampoo and conditioner...once at a hotel I was staying at and then again they had a promo on fb for thier store! It smells really good and it works good but my hair is colored so it needs a little more product but overall the shampoo/ conditioner was nice. The ladies at the store always seem really bored but friendly so try going in and asking for some samples!! I think they have a promo on thier fb now for a shower gel. If I find it I'll post it!

I was away for the long holiday weekend and came back to some goodies!!

Derm Organic- the skincare and haircare boxes.

Hempz- a bunch of foils in various scents.

Dr hauschka- 2 travel size tubes of cleanser and moisturizer. I wanted the rose day cream but such is life. I hate trying the testers at CVS but maybe I will try.

Dermalogica- 3 small foils of really random stuff

Tocca- few vials of their scents.

Jane Iredale- 2 pots of mineral powders

Fresh- sent a decent size jar of the honey mask I wanted to try.

Hasn't even been a week so I am excited to see what else will come!

So far, tried the tocca Cleopatra, LOVE IT and the Dr. Hauschka cleaner smells kind of medicinal but seems good.

Have you ladies emailed lush or went into the store? Im 50/50 on the store because the smell kind of gives me a headache but I want to try some of the bathbombs so I was wondering if I should ask at the mall tomorrow!
