That's some AWESOME stuff!  I've been really curious about "Living Proof".  I hear Jennifer Aniston is part owner and its known for being a good product.  I need to email them and see if I can sample some before putting out the money!

I just emailed them so hopefully I'll have a chance to sample the Amp2 before I make a full size purchase 

 

[belleetbeaut]

what did you say to them on your email? i would love to try some ren products! 

 

[luckynmba13]

I just asked if there were any samples available that I could try before purchasing.

Free sample of their fragrance. They are the makers of Sleep ritual (and actually they sent me a sample of their fragrance, a sample of Sleep Ritual and a sample of a body oil). They were featured in the January Yuzen Box.

I requested these samples last week /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I love stalking the companies featured in various sub boxes, especially the ones I liked.

Estee Lauder in Century 21 are doing free makeovers starting yesterday, today, Feb 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

After the mini makeover they are giving away two shades of one of their lipsticks.

The shade I picked was the "Pink Sheer" the other shade was like a bronze color. ( I have a lot of brown) so went for the pink. It is a nice suttle pink no bright at all. I love it.

Here is the lipstick.

REN: [email protected] Very nice. Asked about my skin type and conditions and said they would send me products based on that information. 

DermOrganic: Fill out the 'contact us' form on their site. I told them my hairstylist recommended I try their argan oil shampoo and conditioner and that I'd like to try it before I buy. They sent me both of those and two more great sized samples of the repair mask and the leave in oil treatment. 
Living Proof: [email protected] They give free samples with every order but I told them I absolutely like to try anything before I buy. They asked if there was anything I wanted to try specifically and they said they'd send me those samples. 
Miss Jessie: Order two samples for free (free shipping too) on their site.
Nuxe:  [email protected] (for the US). Told them I'm a subsriber of Birchbox and that I was looking forward to trying one of their products in my box since I've loved their products in the past, but unfortunately I didn't get in in my box. Then I asked if they happened to have a sample they could send me (the firming cream). They also sent me a clarifying face mask.
Clarins: In store
Murad: In store
Benefit: In store
Origin: In Store
Kneipp: [email protected] I told them what products I'm interested in and they're going to send me samples. 
 
I feel like I'm forgetting a lot of places. lol.
 
I've gotten no's from:
Jouer 
Suki
No reply from WEI yet and it's been almost a month
 
If you go to fragrance sites like Escada and Lacoste and Boss they usually offer samples of various perfumes too and will send them for free after you fill out a form on the site. And if you go into Sephora they'll make you samples of fragrances right in the store. I have dozens of them and they last awhile too.

To my pleasant surprise, I just got a Pix! (Pixi) sample make-up bag in my mailbox today. It's a surprise, because I have no idea how they got my info.

I had a list going somewhere of the companies I've emailed & asked for samples. Now I can't find it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Not too many of them said yes. Which is a bummer because I'm new into the beauty world & absolutely would LOOOOVE to try these products first before just diving in & spending a ton of money.

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

I got samples of dish soap from Mrs. Meyer's and a sample of prime, 2 full shampoos, 1 full root lifter, and 1 thickening cream from Living Proof. I emailed them earlier this week! On their way: Caldrea "fragrance samples" and I ordered samples from Ms Jessie's

Here is what I have received so far!

 

[Jennasaurus]

I recently used the contact form at TokyoMilk about trying one of their fragrances before I buy.  They didn't agree to send any but they said they'd send some lotion in the same scent.  Pretty cool.
