I was so impressed with the Macadamia deep repair masque that I finally bought some online today.  So sending samples has worked for at least one company!  The effects only last for a couple days or so, and I'm not sure it changed the way my hair looked, but it felt AMAZING.  Incredibly soft and silky, can't wait to get it in the mail.

Love that too and the oil! I got the mask and oil in my birchbox and am waiting to repurchase. Purchased the sampler to see if I'd love the shampoo and conditioner and it came with another oil and masque. Once I try the shampoo and conditioner and everythjng else from the sampler I'm sure ill be making a bigger than expected and regrettable huge purchase LOL. Love when samples surprise me like this.

Erno Lazlo, Badescu, Murad, Red Flower, REN, and Nia 24 all have nice-sized samples. The Murad sample is the same size I got as a gift at Sephora last year...lasts a good long while.

The nia samples I received were just a few foils!
 
Some of the companies agreed to give samples and ask for my address but didn't send a response back after I sent my address to them. Have anyone had this problem? And did they still send the samples?

 
I had that problem last year. Now I put my name and address at the bottom of the 1st e-mail I send when asking for samples. It seems to work better.

I do the same. I always make sure to include my address when I ask for samples. Most of the time I never receive a response but will receive samples.

Most of them still send samples. Only a few will reply back afterwards, since a lot of them sit in customer service they are probably going to the next e-mail as soon as they have your address entered :)

 
Beauty Balance is sending a free skin analysis /starter kit. They advertised that will be sending you kits 4 times a year!

 
I got a Yes from Macadamia as well!

I got a yes from actifirm and macadamia. The email I got from macadamia started out sounding like they weren't going to send any and than she said she would.

I got the same sampler packs.  I had never even heard of their products before reading about them here on MUT.    Dermorganics are really awesome products.  I just purchased the shampoo and masque from drugstore.com, and now think I should have purchased the face cleanser and moisturizer too. 

 
I want to get the DermOrganic face cleanser sooo bad but my TJ Maxx never has it, they only have the hair care stuff
