What companies have you gotten samples from?

[bluemustang]

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.  

. Did you get the drying cream?? I think we were talking about it lol

I went online and took the skin assessment but I never emailed the company asking for samples. Did you just get this based on taking the quiz or did you request samples? Thanks!

After I took the skin assessment. I think it was 2 days later I received an email telling me they were sending samples.

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.

Thanks for the tip, I will e-mail John Masters Organics as well!

I got mine today!!! Love the fact that they sent the little guide of when and how to use everything.  I was pretty disappointed that I didn't get the drying lotion/cream because I have a HUGE pimple on my chin that could reallyyyy use it.  I knew I should of bought some at Ulta last night.  Oh well, just gives me an excuse to go back today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I took the quiz and got an email a little while later offering me sample of the products that were recommended upon completion of the quiz.

. Did you get the drying cream?? I think we were talking about it lol I did and I love it!  I applied it last night to a stubborn pimple and it was gone this morning.  I'm definitely buying the full-sized one (especially if I can get it in-person).  I love how you only need a teensy, tiny bit too.  The only thing I don't like is the scent.

Yay! It's been a miracle for my chin.. My Ulta has it in store but I ordered from Nordstroms- free shipping and three samples. I don't like the smell either.

Thanks!  I'm placing my order via Nordstrom right now.  The free shipping (even for a $14 order!) and 3 samples got me.  I'm glad they had Philosophy's Living Grace as a fragrance option.  I've been meaning to try that and Amazing Grace for a while.  $14.88 total - pretty good deal (especially considering that my usual spot treatment is about $36).

I just bought a small bottle from Ulta yesterday.  I too had a huge pimple on my chin and dabbed it on their last night.  Worked really well, but yeah the smell is terrible!

Same here! I'm hoping they will start showing up soon!

Actifirm murad Wei east archipelago. nia24 Sent samples so far still waiting on Melvita, Sabon and dermaorganic.

I know its off topic but has anyone received any samples or free products from companies other than makeup and skincare companies? I'm graduating this month and starting college in 2 months I'm trying to stock up on a few things

 

[paralegalatl]

I once received a free coupon for Kotex tampons, but it was after I emailed and told them their "new and improved" were just the opposite. (A free coupon for an insult...really?) Other than that, OB sometimes has tampon freebies on their site, vitamin companies give free packs (1-2 doses), food companies give travel-sized things. 

No freebies received today, but I did get 2 $1 off coupons for Whiskas cat food. Score one for the kitties!

Check out the PG Everyday site, you can request samples 4 times per year (stuff like tide pods, toothpaste, etc.).  Target and Wal-Mart's websites have samples too but you have to be fast because they usually run out in a few hours or less.  I've gotten household and beauty samples that way too.

Take a look at munchkinsandwich.com and freeflys.com.  I have gotten a lot of non-beauty samples going through those sites.  I get a lot of free coffee, tea, snack foods, pasta, cleaning products, toothpaste, and stuff like that.

Someone a few pages back mentioned that they want to try Argon oil.  I emailed Acure Organics a week or so ago and requested a sample of any one of their products.  Today I received a package that includes a 0.5 oz bottle of argon oil, plus 2 cleansers, 2 moisturizers, 2 night creams, and a facial scrub. 

VBeaute sent me 10 (yes, ten) tubes of their products - 2 each of cleanser, 2 different serums, face cream, eye cream and night cream.  The tubes are the same size as the Vbeaute that was in a Sample Society box a few months ago.

REN sent a good size pump dispenser of serum, and good sized sample tubes of cleanser, day cream and night cream.

I received my Sample Society box today, and have a Birchbox coming soon too.  I have 2 Birchbox subscriptions, but am canceling one (temporarily) because I have a ton of samples now.  I had planned on cancelling both Birchboxes and my Sample Society, because I'm getting so many free beauty samples, but then I was afraid I'd miss out on something good.  Plus, Sample Society always has good sized samples and Birchbox usually has something "different" and good size samples too.  I've also received quite a few full-size products from both subscription services.

I feel like I hit the sample jackpot today.  I got 3 packages in the mail and each one had several big deluxe samples for me to try!  I have to get a bigger basket for all my samples.

Yeah for the kitties!  I'm always on the lookout for cat food samples and coupons. I have two black and white long haired cats.  My girl cat is a petite 6 pounds and just nibbles all day, but my boy cat is a big boy - 30 pounds and no fat on him.  He's just big and muscular, and eats me out of house and home.  Those coupons come in handy!
