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

I filled out a form on the Caldrea website on Friday. I asked how I can get samples of their handsoap. No reponse yet. I do like that Caldrea is cruelty-free. When my Bath and Body Works handsoaps are gone, I do want to order from Caldrea.

Happy to share the love hehe

 
I wish I could post photos too!  I've posted them on my social networking site, but can't figure out how to get them on here.  Do I have to upload them to photobucket, or one of those?
 

 
Does anybody have tips on posting pics of my samples using my Android phone? The little house icon makes a box pop up that says something about Enter URL. I can't make it work.

I upload photos from my Android and just use the house button, but it detects my phone as a pc and redirects me to photo files stored on my phone..no urls.

How are you uploading; through a phone or your pc? Either way, just click the "house" button on the reply options and a box should pop up, directing you to insert your images.

 


OK! Ended up getting my murad and uberliss samples in the mail today! (As well as my skindinavia order too! Yay!)
Murad- the larger purple packet is Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask 0.25 fl oz, the two smaller blue packets are the oil-control Mattifier spf15 0.03fl oz also came with a 20% off coupon, as well as another promocode for a free soothing skin ,lip, and cuticle care with purchase of time release retinol concentrate.

Uberliss- these came via ups which I was surprised about, I was also quite pleased with the size of the samples. I got the Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner 1 fl oz each, and  the small bottle is their Rituoil 0.34 fl oz (kind of smells like violets.) I'm excited to try these out.

Also I got responses from the companies that I had emailed about not yet receiving their products that had been sent out around the 15th (whish and Caldrea) and they've both responded that they will attempt to ship it out again. I must have a mail gremlin or something.

I've heard from a couple more companies that have agreed to send me samples, those being Dermalogica, Malin + Goetz, and Ouidad. 

 
I got a response from Caldrea today. I had filled out the form on their website and said I was given a sample of their lavender and pine handsoap and I did not like the smell, what scents would they recommend, and where could I get samples? Today I got an e-mail from Jillian at Caldrea CS asking for my mailing address. Does anybody have recommendations from Cruelty-Free companies to ask for samples? I've just started to switch over.

 
My first samples arrived today. They were from Sabon. They sent my nice size packets of shampoo, conditioner and lotion (all at least 2-3 uses, As well as a good size travel size tube of hand cream. I'm going to give the hand cream a try and the other samples are going in my women's shelter donation box. They were so quick to respond and send samples. I have heard back from Wei and they are sending me some samples as well as they want to send samples directly to the women's shelter. So I have put them in contact with a rep. from the shelter. The rep from Wei has been so nice and I will definitely be buying some of their products directly from Wei, if I like them based solely on my customer service experience with them. They are FANTASTIC!

 
I got a 1oz sample of the  Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Facial Soap (paid shipping $2.95) and I was also sent a large sample vial of argan oil and a large sample slice of the black soap! SO excited to try these out!

I also got my Nia24 sample kit in! They respond very quickly when you request a sample kit through their website contact form.

My family, friends, and boyfriend think I'm crazy. I have way too many samples and beauty products but I always want more!
