Jane Iredale just sent me an email about a new sampler they're selling, I wonder if they won't be doing samples now? That's a shame. They were one of my favorites.

Just wanted to let you guys in on what I did this morning. Everyday Minerals has an offer to sample their powders for $3 for shipping. It's worth it, i did this offer before and it's pretty awesome, their powders are great. I know you guys love pics so, i took a bunch! The circle thing is what they come in, which can be tough to work with, so I put them in my own containers. You pick 5 of the samples you want, which include blush, finishing powder, base powder and bronzer. And they include their own blush and bronzer pick. I'm ghost white so I gave my bronzer to someone else. And this is what I have left. Incase you can't read the note, the pictures include 6 sample pots, one with flash one without, and one flipped over so you guys can see better without the writing in the way.

1.Blush in Peony Petal

2. Jojoba Base in Rosy Ivory 1C

3. Semi-Matte Base in Fair 0N

4. Finishing Powder in Sunlight Finishing Dust

5. Jojoba base in Fair 0N

6.Semi-Matte Base in Rosy Fair 0N

I know everyone's inbox and mail flow has been slowing down lately because there are only so many companies who send samples, so here's something else you could try!

I know that a lot of the 'no' emails say to "visit your local retailer", so I took their advice and I did! Unfortunately my local mall is quite small so the only sample I was able to score there was a free dry shampoo from JC Penny salon with a coupon I got in store (without purchase) from Sephora. (pictured below)

The next day I went to another, larger mall that was a little bit farther from me. I was very happy with the sample haul from there! I went into Macy's makeup area and went to the Estee Lauder counter to look at their foundation and a sales rep came up to me and asked if I wanted to apply and I said yes. He applied it and then offered me a sample! (pictured below)

Then, also in Macy's I asked a rep at the origins counter for a sample of their eye cream and she was also very helpful! (pctured below)

Then lastly I went into the body shop and you can pick out any product you like and get a sample and I got a sample of their seaweed mattifying day cream! (pictured below)

So the next time you go to the mall, look out  for samples!

I really don't like splenda. Or any of those low calorie sweeteners. But I did just finish a Brookside sampling.

I always get really nervous asking for samples. This one girl at Ulta I have a total bond with always gives me some, but other than that, i don't really ask. Mostly because I went in my local Sephora and asked for a sample of foundation I wanted to try, and the lady started trying to wipe half my makeup off and put some all over my face, in the wrong shade, might I add. When I told her I'd really like to try it at home instead I was basically called a mooch and told they don't do hand outs.

I wasn't sure if Ulta gave out samples, but when I went there for my birthday they were very nice and helpful. As to asking for samples, I didn't even ask in Sephora for samples (except my b-day freebie). I only asked if a rep offered or if they had a sign advertising samples, so that I wasn't asking if they didnt have samples or offer them.

i know a bunch of people got sample pots from them, that's the only reason I asked, and because I was genuinely interested in the foundation. People say they get a lot from Sephora which kinda bums me out!

I know a few pages back a few people mentioned getting stuff from colleges, any advice on what to say in the email? I'm thinking on doing some college tours and stuff, and some merch would be nice!

I believe that was probably me! I love getting stuff from collages! Basically just email a ton on collages you're interested in and I guarantee you'll score at least some pens and shirts. In my message, I include my interest in their college and then ask for promotional items! Make sure to include your size... Or you'll end up swimming in a large shirt hahaha. Good luck! Emailing collages is a lot of fun! If you want a more in depth sample email I can post that for you!

Sure that would be wonderful, thanks! If you could include some of the colleges you emailed, that'd be awesome too, I'm mostly interested in like, t-shirts and mugs /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sure!! Here's what I normally say, I would change it a bit to fit your needs; Hello! I am currently a student attending high school. I recently had a college unit in my health class. After doing some research, I became extremely interested in attending you're college! I make sure to give life my all everyday so I can make it where I want to go, but sometimes I need a little reminder. I was wondering if you might have any t shirts (size small), pens, water bottles etc. with your college name written on it. I would love to have something to show everyone where I wish to go, and to remind me to keep working hard! Thanks for your time.

HURRY!!

I was looking at Jao Brand to see if I wanted to ask for samples when I saw their sample 'pak'. It looked pretty decent (5 little sample jars and 2 cardboard foil thingy's) Since it was free I went to look at the price of shipping and realized that it was FREE SHIPPING so I ordered it and payed nothing for that great sample pack. Now, I realize that lots of people have  joined this forum and even more people just read it, so once I post this everyone will see it and it will probably be taken down soon, so hurry!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
