Anyone who has gotten samples from Macademia, how long did it take for you to receive them?  The woman I spoke to said she would send them out last Monday.. I would of thought they would have gotten here already.  I'm thinking she might have forgot to send them off or something

I think it took a little over a week for me to get the samples.

 
For Jane Iredale, I emailed Thursday and received them yesterday. Today I received Juice Beauty samples...foil packets of Green Apple Cleansing Gel, Green Apple Age Defy Serum, Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer, Blemish Clearing Cleanser, Blemish Clearing Serum, and Oil-Free Moisturizer.

It's not makeup/skincare related, but I received this as well:  http://souper-spices.com/landing/herbs-and-spice-blends-free-offer/

Free seasoning! I received Herbes de Provence.

 
Most companies have sample forms on their websites for colognes... however it's usually just a pad that you can swipe on your wrist. I order them for my husband all the time.

These are all organic--and after feeling the consistency I thought they would make great solid perfumes...Notice when you touch them they are kinda--I don't wanna say slimey but IDK what other word to use....I use them as solid perfumes and balms on my feet and elbows and they work GREAT!!!

That's a great idea! I totally get what you mean about the consistency- I think they would be great as a balm! Thanks for the tip

 
I started emailing today. Still no word from Jane. LOL I already heard back from DermOrganics and they are sending stuff! I notice that Miss Jessie's is charging $1 for shipping now! :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Going down the list writing personal letters to each company after researching the brand.

 
Kinda glad I ordered from Miss Jessie's a month ago

 $1 shipping isn't bag...they're nice sized samples.

 
I got a box from DermOrganic...nice stuff! Airplane-friendly bottles! Shampoo, Masque, and Argan Oil, Soapless Cleanser, Moisturizer, and Moisture Lotion.

Sounds like you got some nice samples.

 
So far I have emailed my first handful of companies. Some I saw on here, others I just did on a whim. So far this is what I heard back...

Naked Princess (no samples right now, like us on facebook, but they were VERY nice in the no)

DermOrganics (yes!!!)

Jane Iredale (No reply)

VMV Hypoalergenics (No reply)

WEI East (yes!!!)

Erno Laszlo (yes!!!)

Ole Henrickson (No reply)

Aubrey Organics (No reply)

Mario Badesco (No reply)

Neostrata (No reply)

Obviously some I am waiting for a reply on... it's still early. I gave up on Jane. I guess she doesn't want me to buy her foundation haha!!

Off to email a few more companies. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I received samples from elemental herbology and REN today. Mario Badescu...not sure about them. I was told to fill out the survey on their site, and they would contact me within a week about samples. It's been over a month, so I've given up on it. Hopefully you'll hear something back.

 
Idk why you guys aren't getting a reply from Jane Iredale.. I got one in less than 24 hours and then I got the tracking info (which I think is amazing for samples, no one else gave me any tracking info or anything like that) in less than 30 mins of me replying with my address and I got my samples today (two days after they shipped it)... Maybe you're emailing the wrong email?

 
I emailed the same address and said Iwould love to try some foundations and told them what my skintype was etc. Blah! LOL

 
I got a sample from Jane Iredale today. Just one foundation. I was kind of bummed, but at the same time, I was very specific about what I wanted to try, so I get it :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also got a yes from all of the ones already listed.

Same here.

 
Just wanted to let you guys know Ojon is offering a sample pack of 5 samples (and they let you choose another sample free for ordering) so its 6 samples for 5 dollars! not bad

 
Nice to know Ojon has that again...I got it a while back. Nice stuff. I received an envelope from Wei East today. I didn't specify anything (type of skincare/skin issues), but asked about skincare samples, so they sent:  Bright Lights Rice Milk Essence, Advance Hand & Body Perfection, Advance Foaming Cleanser, Sichuan Holly Wrinkle away Amazing Eyes, and two Advance Intensive Herbal Eye Treatment pads. 

Oh, I got a "yes" from Knepp yesterday!
