  Yeah I did that too.... When I saw your post I did it again, letting them know I hadn't yet heard from them and marked it "urgent". A little pushy? Sure, but I hate it when I'm left hanging. I did end up getting a response from them late last night though and they will be shipping samples out. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I also decided to try again yesterday and they wrote me back last night. They asked to like their fb page and they will send out the samples. Yay finally! I am planning on buying liqwd products, I'm just not sure on hydrating or volumizing.

I also never received my Gloss Moderne sample.  Was really looking forward to it.  I'm hoping it will randomly show up someday when I'm least expecting it.

Me too...wrote them twice about it and the second time they said sorry they were busy but promise to mail them soon. That was on Sept 20 :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yep. That was actually the only sub company I reached out to (besides Shu Uemura) and its taken so long that I just shelled out the $100 for the Shu Uemura products... Its one thing to say no, it's another to say yes and not follow through. It's bad business in my mind, even if free, because it made me not pursue their products further and they lost that profit from me.
 
I've already received the LiQWD samples! They responded quickly and it only took a couple of days to get to my house!

 
I went on a sample request spree last night emailing most of the companies mentioned in this thread :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> We'll see what I end up getting!

I was not as lucky, but that's fine I will try thier products anyway now, but probably will not buy anything from them in the future, as I do not really like when companies discriminate. I think if a company sends samples - this should apply to everyone who requested, not selectively. I think the same happened with Jane Iredale as was discussed here.

 
I don't like that either :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was also denied by Jane Iredale and a couple of others mentioned in this thread.

I've been denied by so many companies. It all depends on who you talk to or how many times they have already been hit up. I can't imagine all the sample requests the companies mentioned in this thread must get! They can't fulfill everyone.

 
Surprisingly I've already heard back from a few companies. Olie Biologique said they offer a sample trio for $8.95 & free shipping. Burt's Bees said they don't offer samples but have kits for sale. Koh Gen Do said they do offer samples and for me to let them know which items I had in mind. I requested a foundation sample, a primer sample, and a a blush/fresh face sample. They said they had certain items so I gave a few in case something isn't available. Jane Iredale replied and said they can send me some lip products, a mascara, and some foundation. Actually I requested a sample of a concealer as well since I am in the market for a new one. I know this company is a hit or miss with most people. I spoke with Elizabeth. The Nail Dazzle said each color has a sample option but I'm not too sure if she meant I had to buy sample sizes? I replied asking if they offered a sample of their eye primer. Marula said sure and to just send them my address. Miss Jessie's I got two samples from their site L'Occitane just replied back with a yes as well.

 
Was thinking of asking for samples from some companies. Which are your favorites for getting samples?[if you have an email or a link to where I can apply for them that would be amazing!]

I took a look around the thread, but got really overwhelmed and wasn't sure which one's to email/apply for.

 
Someone said they were going to contact skin79 about a sample of their bb cream. Did that person ever hear back?

 
I emailed Jurlique and they responsed with 5 questions to answer and said they'll be sending out some samples.
