 Thanks. I just signed up. Love the target beauty bags!!

 
I'm getting quite a few from them as well.  They even told me to let them know if I wanted any other samples to "maximize my sample package".  Wow.  Impressive.  They were also extremely helpful with some skin issues that I have and had great suggestions.  I wish their products were a bit more reasonably priced, but if they work on my stubborn skin issues, then I'm sure I'll purchase from them regardless of the price (my husband will love that, haha).

Holy VMV Hypoallergenics!  I responded to their questionairre, and they came back with 14 products they're sending me, plus they want me to answer a couple more questions in order to decide of a few more.  This is a lot of work, but any company that's going to spend this much time on me is totally worth spending my $ with them!

Someone said something in the October Birchbox Thread about this too! Apparently this is going to be Target's last beauty bag though :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Still no Gloss Moderne shipment... Was realllly excited to see their reply a few weeks ago, but it's no good if they don't actually send them.... This was the only company I've asked so to have them reply and not send them makes me weary of them in the future..

You just reminded me that I asked for them also...almost a month ago...and still haven't received them.  I wonder if it would be tacky to email and ask where they're at?

They sent out responses for samples all at once it seemed, so maybe they're sending out a bunch of samples together? I got a response about a month ago, I'm not too worried - one company said my sample would take 6-8 weeks to get to me. I just don't think that we're very high on the priority list, which isn't a good or bad thing to me, I didn't pay anything.

Thanks for emailing! Have no problem waiting (as it's free, and I'm excited to try) just would be to the companies benefit to let you know youll be waiting 4-6 weeks so you aren't disappointed or wondering. Love MUT for answers like this :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They were very detailed with me also. I answered the questionare and then they had even more questions as a follow up to my responses. They had suggestions and tips for each of the questions i answered. They said that they consulted with their dermatologist about a couple of my skincare issues to send me the appropriate samples. I really like the fact that they truly tailor the samples to each individual. They are alsomade up instead of prepackaged. I will definitely purchase from them if I like the product. Sure beats going to the dermatologist for minor skincare issues. I was so impressed. I received samples from Dr. Hauschka today. I will take pictures of them and my other samples that I received later this week. The sample package I got today from Dr. Hauschka was very nicely put together. Each sample had a small brochure that it was attached to explaining the product and how to use it. They sent 7 different samples and a very nice catelog. The back of the catelog lists the ingredients for every product as well as a section that has the plant based ingredients and what they are used for. Looking through the catelog has peaked my interest in their products as well. Very high quality stuff.
 
Oh nice i never thought of asking for samples. Id just want to really try bb creams since i haven't tried one yet ;x .  Also thanks for the info about sending beauty samples you recieve from boxes or the company over seas.My husband just recently went overseas  and i know some of the girls that are in his unit. Since they only really have a small px im sure they will love the samples, can't wait to wrap them up in cute paper!! Wish there was something for me to send for  the guys as well ;x Also don't know if you know but if you send your daughter packages. Flat rate boxes are the best to send usually only costs me 6-15 dollars(depending on size)and seemed to get to iraq quite fast not sure about afghan yet considering hes still not at his final destination yet.  

 
Last week I emailed Jouer saying that I had their LMT which I loved, but I wasn't sure what shade I would be in the MMT, also inquiring about the coverage, etc. I got a very nice response saying they would send me some samples. I responded with lots of thank yous :) I finally got the samples today, and I have to say I'm kinda disappointed. I know I shouldn't complain, because they were free and they did spend some money to mail them to me, but it doesn't even seem like enough to try on my entire face once. It was a nice surprise to see the lip treatment in there, so that's a happy spot in all of this. We shall see, I might be able to squeeze one full use out of each... I really wanted to try it before I bought it, and I was actually thinking of buying it.

That's odd...I thought that sent out pre-packaged samples. I guess they ran out?

A little goes a long way with it, so that should be enough to try it.  I have to say though, I don't like the MMT as much as the LMT.  I don't feel that it moisturizes, or covers as well.  I ended up going with WEI to go.
