I've been requesting a lot of samples too, but haven't in a couple of weeks. I'm so disappointed when I pick up my mail and there aren't any little goodies for me.  I have to get back into it again too.  Sample Society should be shipping soon too, and then Birchbox!

I did receive some John Masters Organics samples today though.  I got 6 packets of shampoo, 6 conditioners and a couple of their leave in conditioner.  I used to use John Masters and cant remember why I stopped using it, but I know I really liked their products.

I ran out of both my regular skincare and hair care products, but I have enough samples of skin care for about 2 months, and I can go a month using just samples of hair care.  I just purchased the DermOrganics hair care items online yesterday.  I purchased the Actifirm I got samples of too, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Are there any companies other than dermorganic that send out deluxe samples or a handful of samples? If so please list them!

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.

Got some great samples from Dr. Bronner's plus 4 $1 off coupons. I was so excited for these!

Nice samples!

 

[KeepOnSingin]

I got samples of the AHA & Ceramide Moisturizer, Drying Cream, Drying Mask, Enzyme Cleansing Gel, Hyalauronic Eye Cream, Special Cucumber Lotion and Strawberry Face Scrub.

 

[leelee82]

I wrote to some companies two weeks ago and am still waiting on samples in the mail.

I emailed Soap & Glory and they said they do not send out samples.

Have received from DermOrganics, Mrs. Meyer's, and Malin & Goetz.

Oooo! Dr Bronners is such a great brand! I didn't know they had samples. I'll have to email them tomorrow. I've been using them since I was a teenager, and their bottles said all kinds of weird stuff on them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I haven't seen the documentary yet, it's on my Netflix list.

[broneisia]

which companies did you email ?

 

[Jamie P]

Doing a few more today. I tried Jane Iredale again. This time I sounded less interested. I was more vague. Maybe that will work rather than my genuine interest. 

I also sent one to Dr. Bronner as I have never tried them before and am very interested! 

I really want to order some of the DermOrganics face wash. I fell in love with it!! I will check out TJ Max for the hair items. 

 

[lady41]

did u make a account and do their skin care test or just email them asking for samples?

And I guess being vague and less interested worked. Jane got back to me in 5 minutes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine came today too!  I had to do a double take when I saw the size of the envelope.  I plan on trying at least the strawberry scrub tonight.  I've been looking forward to trying their products since someone mentioned their skin questionnaire thing.
