BreeTheKokiri. How do you organize your document? I really need to do mine better and I need some ideas. Most of mine is just a list but that gets annoying fast.

I also received some cute little soap samples from I and Soap the other day.

Personally I am a huge fan of google docs, so I opened one of them, clicked insert table, 3 by the max, and made the first NO, second YES, and third what I got. When I ran out of space I just made a new table. Again, i'll send it to you if you'd like. Just give me your email because I honestly can't figure it out on here.

 
I got a BUNCH from Embryolisse too today! Every company I got from today sent so much! I got from BioElements (30 foils), Hempz (4 bodywash/moisturizer sets, and 6 moisturizers with my scent preference, Organic Fiji sent 6 nice sized soap samples with my preferences AND apologized for being slow to send me FREE stuff. WAH!!?? La Prairie send two of each sample for the results i got on their skin questionnaire. Very nice...Again, I have a nice spreadsheet made in Google Docs if anyone wants to see let me know, I still cant figure out how to attach a file here. 
That's awesome! BioElements was a nice surprise, lots of options. To be honest I like when they do that because sometimes I don't know what I'll want or like until I see it, and I like trying new things that I normally wouldn't think of trying out.

Post the List!! Maybe try using the media attachment? That's how I do my pics, although I feel like there should be an easier way? LOL

I'll give it a shot haha. And I agree. Some things, or even companies, I probably never would have tried if they didn't send me amazing products. Beauty Society (who was VERY generous) sent me a sample of their Success fragrance. Now, it's marketed as a Peachy Floral. I HATE florals. I opened the vile and it was like peach induced heaven. No floral at all, just peach and I love it. BUT the description said floral, so i probably never would have bought it had i not tried it first! I get some companies find it a hassle or a waste to send JUST samples, but it truly does influence me to buy what I like! 

Have you gotten any big ones, or impressive products?

 
hm. It says nothing in my media, and the table didn't copy with paste. I'll be happy to send it to you if youd like haha

could you send it my way also? Haha. I've been running out of companies. I emailed a bunch of new ones this week end and boy I got so many no's I wanted to cry. Anyone want to share lists? I'd greatly appreciate it, I like non beauty related products also! Thanks everyone.

 
Sure! Just give m your email and it's on it's way! Ican't figure it out on here, and it goes straight through via email lol. Do you have one started? I'd love to hear what you got!

Yes, exactly my point! And sometimes I think I'll like something and it doesn't work the way I want it to, so it's really 50/50.

If i get good customer service I am way more willing to purchase from that company, I personally dont understand why some companies are weird about it, especially if its a very expensive product. If a face cream is $300, you bet I wanna try it before I spend that! LOL.

Hm, Jane Iredale sent me nice sized mineral powders, and Paula's Choice sent me a TON of stuff, like deluxe sized products but unfortunately the BHA broke me out. If you haven't tried Derm Organic they send a good size, good if you have longer hair because sometimes a foil isn't enough product if its a shampoo/conditioner.

I'll have to look in my stash but I can send you over some companies that I haven't seen on your list! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
