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

I browse slickdeals forum, they always have the most updated free item listings.
 
Me me! :) I want argon oil!! Hehe thank you- really appreciate it. I will e-mail Acure Orgaics and VBeaute today. Had the same experience with REN and I do not know how it was for you but when I opened the envelope from REN, it smelled really good!!

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.

Aside from Oscar Blandi and DermOrganics (both awesome!), has anyone received any other hair care samples?  I really want to try some new hair products.

 
Hello ladies. =)

Can anybody share Murad's customer service e-mail? I really want to try samples of their products but I'm not sure which of the four forms I should use under their customer care page.

I used this email: [email protected]

I was offered to pick 3 samples out of 12 based on my skin concerns.

 
I got samples today from Nature's Gate, 100% and about 8 samples from REN. I tried to upload a picture but was having some issues with it :/

I was hoping for lippies too. She said she'd throw them in but didn't...I wasn't going to ask again for them after getting 3 foundation samples for free!

Agreed. I'm thankful for anything I get to try. I can't believe how generous some companies are.

I got Macadamia to use for trades. Their stuff is loaded with dimethicone, which makes me breakout. Living Proof send some nice foils as well. I haven't e-mailed any other haircare companies, but I have seen posts about samples from Jurlique, Clear, and Cashmere Curls. I e-mail on Sundays if I want samples, so I'll be going back through recent posts on this thread for haircare companies to ask later today. On second thought, Jurlique might have refused samples, but I'm not sure.

I'm very interested in purchasing products from that brand and I requested samples too.  In case they don't send me the body cream, can you let us know what you think of it after you try it?  I should have requested that product specifically, but didn't, and its one I want to try the most.
