Ditto. I also heard from them. I also got an email from N4 that they are sending samples. Missha and Whish are a no. Whish sent a discount code. I don't know about anyone else but I have lost track on who is sending sampled and who isnt. I guess I will be surprised. Dermalogica and Oribe samples came today. Hubby was like "why do you get so many little samples and packages in the mail?" when I explained he was cool...

Haha, that was the "holy crap, is she spending a lot of money on makeup and face stuff? Oh it's all free? Sweet, carry on" conversation.

I've had those before!

Oh! how did you like Cure? I've been thinking about getting a bottle because of the great reviews, but the price hovers around $30 :-/ And for a product that sounds a little gimmicky I'm hesitant to spend that much. Though one time I saw it for $15 and now I can't seem to find the site again...

 
I just ordered the samples a few days ago, and haven't gotten them yet.  Where the heck did you see it for $30?  I saw it for $44!  Which is why I didn't want to order it without trying...
 

 


Loot from StriVectin, Nia24 & Jane Iredale. I was only expecting powder & foundation from Iredale so it was a nice surprise.



Ole Henriksen & Juice Beauty. Juice sent 1 packet - I'm surprised they could spare it

I wonder if it might not be a great time to request samples.  With the New York thing going on this week, lots of companies have had sample-sized products made.  If they have left-overs, they may be feeling very generous to those sending emails, so to get rid of them....

Wonder if there's a listing on the web telling what companies were there...

Ooooh you definitely I didn't dig deep enough in Ole Henriksen's site, as I didn't realize they had a micro/mini peel system.

Also you totally reminded me that the stuff I got from Caudalie yesterday, I actually had to pay for! Apparently they put the wrong shipping on the package and underpaid, so I was charged $1.50 when it actually got to me. :|

Caudalie made you pay? Boooo! I got my samples from ada today. There are all in little baggies :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Not worth $12.45 for 10 samples

 
No it wasn't them that made me pay per se, it was the P.O. as Caudalie put the wrong postage on the package. :: shrugs ::  Personally, I don't feel it's worth it to complain, though I do think they should know that someone along the line dropped the ball.... Just kind of something for anyone looking into them to look out for.

Someone else mentioned that those baggies actually hold quite a bit of product- I almost feel that if you've got the spare "craft jars" it might be. Otherwise not so much... I got one of their bronzers in a bb a few months back, and I just recently bought the $15 amazonian tarte set sephora was offering last week, so I'm set on bronzer for a very long time.
