What companies have you gotten samples from?

[sparklesgirlxox]

Oh thanks for the info!! good to know!!! I live by a very big mall but I think they consolidate their dumpsters. But there is also an ulta that is in a shopping center so I will have to try that too.  I'm excited!! Thanks again!

 Most malls have security camaras and are considered private property. I would think carefully about possibly doing something and getting arrested.

This particular mall has them like basically in the parking lots lol But I doubt I would try to do it at a mall. Although when I worked retail we had to go throw stuff out all the time and it no one ever cared.

I just got a TON of stuff from star nails. Oh my gosh are they generous. I do not remember who posted about them, but thank you! Also Clarins sent me a sample of their mascara, amazing... I've been getting lots of makeup now, its so much fun to try everything out! Anyone find new companies? I have contacted so many, I am running out of places to contact..

 

[Mickayla-Kat Dussault]

I'm totally running out too! Next month I plan on recontacting all the companies again to try for more samples. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> especially for christmas purchases, they usually send me coupons with the samples to that'll be good

That is a great idea! I contacted some new companies today, so I will keep everyone updated on what they say and the companies by the end of the week /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is everything I received from star nails. I think it's pretty awesome. Great products for people just starting out a nail kit!

 

[Mickayla-Kat Dussault]

I got lucky yesterday and got a yes from,

Sibu beauty

Living Proof

Organic pharmacy

Organic Fiji

Hylunia

Juice Beauty

Plus, there was a few companies who said yes that I finally received. I got stuff from,

Ayres

Just Neem

Ecoco

Miss Jessies Hair care

Gilchrist and Soames

Honey House Naturals

and Caldrea

Miss Jessie's hair care and Ayres was really generous. The foil packets from Miss Jessie's were huge and were enough to use several times, and Ayres sent me one of their travel size kits and a full sized bar of soap from their website.

Just wondering....do ya'll always include your address when sending your first email? I thought about doing that but felt weird doing it.

 

[BoredandBroke]

ModernMistress. Personally, I do. I think it makes it less work for whoever is on the other side, because even if they do offer samples, they have to send out an email to you saying so, and then you have to reply with your contact info. I think it's just easier to put everything in that first email, that way even if they don't have the time to reply, they still might send you something. But they can't do that if they don't have your address. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Mickayla-Kat Dussault]

Yes that way they may not contact you back but they'll still sometimes send you things which is always wonderful. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

hey,im new to this forum and i joined this site because i love following this topic. i have tried to email many of the companies listed under many people's successes, but unfortunately, i have received no products, and only about half the companies even replied. i live in Canada, therefore some companies have said they do not ship outside of the US. (totally understandable! i appreciate their time for answering me anyway) anyway, i was wondering if anyone knew of any companies that are willing to send to outside of the US, im very interested in starting a sample collection, i enjoy trying new samples. if anyone could get back to me as soon as possible that would be so lovely  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> thank you !

Yes, I always put my info at the bottom.. a lot of companies don't answer and just simply send something, and I feel like it's easier for the customer service rep to just have all the info right away.

Welcome!

Yeah even non-makeup samples are good to get, I've gotten two almost full sized bottles of contact solution which is baller.

Also honey house naturals gave me some good stuff and wow their lip butter is SO good, I definitely recommend Hawaiian and Vanilla! Also there lotions are very nice too, and they have non-scented for the sensitive of skins. <3 

 

[Bree Bruzgulis]

Got a yes from Bare Minerals and Paula's choice today, No from Sephora. I know a lot of these companies are a stretch but i thought hey. why not! I emailed a lot, and they aren't open on weekends most of the time, so i expect a flood in my inbox tomorrow. 

I have to say I was beyond Impressed with Jane Iredale cosemtics. I have an actual package i paid shipping on coming as well, and I got a tracking number for that and the JI samples the same day (Wahhh tracking for samples???) and my samples are getting here before my package. I don't know weather to say good on Jane or bad on the supplier /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
