I got samples from Beecology /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love when they actually write a thank you note, it seems like they care about their customers. Which makes me want to purchase from them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way, I even wrote about it in my blog.

Guess I already know where I'll be spending money on Small Business Saturday later this week /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I also got my samples from Juara today!  As well as, Uberliss, Kneip, REN, Malin & Goetz!  I love getting fun mail and enjoy trying all these products out.  On a weird side note, I ended up getting a third Ipsy bag in the mail today (I have 2 subscriptions to Ipsy) but received a random 3rd one for no reason today.  The cool thing is that in all 3 bags I ended up getting the Benefit mascara so I'm set on good mascara for awhile.

Awww, Lucky!!!  I also received the Juara samples today, they must have sent out a bunch together.  I am looking forward to trying the masks and as others have said, I am much more likely to purchase from them because they were so nice, accommodating and personal (the hand written note was very nice).  Just wish they would include a discount code or free shipping, that always suckers me in /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[heartsandwhimsy]

It suckers me in too : ). I tried the banana and avacodo moisturizing mask right away and my skin feels great!

Here are some of the sites that you can email for free samples of their products:

Ada ([email protected]) - Sent me two full sample size peach bronzers.

Suki ([email protected]) - They asked me what kind of skin I have and then sent me a bunch (like 10) free samples.

I sent out some emails and thought I would share a few I hadn't seen:

Archipelago Botanicals (form on website) - Sending a mini bar of the Pomegranate Soap like they sent out in BB

Sprout Cosmetics (form) - sending me a lip balm

rmsbeauty ([email protected]) -sending a beauty oil sample

I just found out that sprout is selling their lip balm for $1 on their website.  The vegan version is $5.

GK Hair just me a full size bottle their serum. They sent me full size shampoo and conditioner to try out and write reviews on. After I did that I got an email asking me if there was something else I'd like to try. I read reviews and watched videos on their serum and really want to try it. It is amazing stuff! I LOVE IT!

 

[bbbrandnewww]

I emailed Living Proof asking if they had samples of the prime style extender. I missed the chance when they were giving out mini tubes on Facebook. Katy said she would send me some samples. Stupidly, I put my school address despite the fact that I'm going home in a few days for winter break. At least they'll be here when I get back though!

I recently got 4 nice sized samples from Erno Laszlo. I had tried their Transphum serum because I had gotten it in a BB awhile back. It was amazing!!! It should be for $200 though....I didn't realize it was so expensive when I used it, so it definitely wasn't a placebo effect. I really did notice a wonderful difference in the texture of my skin and the tone. The samples I got were the oily skin cleansing bar, the oil control lotion for day and night, and the toner for oily skin. I like all of it a lot so far, especially the night oil control. I'll continue to use it and see what I decide to purchase.

I received four nice samples from them as well, sounds like the same as yours. I am such a sucker for miniature things; the mini bar of soap is too cute! I appreciate that they sent sizes that will actually give you enough usage to know if you want to buy it or not. With their price range, it's one of the smartest things for them to do. One-time use will rarely help you decide when it comes to skincare. (Although I have been using the foil packet of Juara eye creme, the Sweet Black Tea one, with good results. I've gotten two or three uses and have another left. The lines under my eyes were almost unnoticeable the next morning after the first use!)

 

[quene8106]

Yeah I use the eye cream from juara too and I don't see dark circles under my eyes either! It's awesome how a little sample became my holy grail!

 

[OiiO]

I wish I had the same results with Juara, that eye cream sample gave me a terrible rash around the eyes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Although my mom received the same sample and absolutely loved it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, how sad! The first time I used it, it did make my eyes burn, but the subsequent applications I put further away from my actually eye so that it had some leeway to migrate and still not touch my lashline.

Did you email them for it?
