Ok so I got an email from JustNeem like this:

We are no longer able to send free samples, but I’d be happy to pass on this coupon code for 20% off an order on our website:

they gave greater than deluxe sized samples and now they are closing the free sample prograns because people are hogging the samples and never giving them feedback, or replying back. So theyr basically doing this for free stuff.  :unsure:

 
So, hey guys I saw this forum when i was searching for free beauty samples and then I was hooked and never needed to look anywhere else again! I used to get samples of all kinds of things like gloves soaps markers, just random stuff! But now I love emailing companies because it's so much faster and you choose who to email. I've gotten some good stuff so far but I'm looking to get more. I'm also gonna post a small list of companies that said yes and I hope we can get this forum live again!! :lol:

So you guys just write and ask them for samples? how does that work? I don't know if I could do it.

ETA: Nevermind I just found a webpage that outlines how to do it. I think I may write a few companies in this list and see what happens.

Can you post the link or tell us the URL?

 
It's not much, really, but it has a form letter you can use.

http://susi10.hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Get-Free-Makeup-Samples-By-Writing-To-Companies

I used the form letter for murad and l'occtane so I guess I'll see if they work.
Oh, I've seen this and I used it when I first started, btw if murad says no try again (don't get Patricia) I got a no but then I emailed again and got great samples. I recommend Jane Iredale,  DermOrganic and Studio Gear.

Also, my birthday's in 10 days so I plan on going to Sephora and Ulta for a sample raid!!  :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've also been sample hoarding and not opening anything so I can wait and open them on my birthday! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  :lol:
