What companies have you gotten samples from?

[TacomaGirl]

In the June issue of MarieClaire There's a full page Jurlique ad for their new Purely bright spot treatment. At the bottom it says "free samples with any purchase at jurlique.com or call 1-800-854-1110. I just got off of the phone with the rep and she was sweet. YAy, more samples

Do any of you know of/have experience with any companies that send out men's line product samples? [He got some awesome Molton Brown body wash yesterday. Definitely will be buying some!] Thanks for any help, ladies!

Yes, I've requested samples for my boyfriend successfully from these companies:

-- Evolution Man (sent a packet each of shaving cream, face wash and moisturizer)

-- Ursa Major Men (sent a cute little pouch of samples)

-- MenScience (sent several packets of products)

-- Taun Men's Skincare (sent a small pot of cream.) Here is a link to request:

http://www.taunusa.com/request-a-sample/

-- Malin + Goetz are kind of a unisex brand, and they sent some specifically for men, at my request

Also, Baxter of California has a package of samples you can purchase for the cost of shipping ($5.95). I received much more than what was pictured, like 3 packs of the same flavor of body wash rather than one, if that makes sense, or two shave creams, etc. It was quite a bundle, so I thought it was worth it.

If anyone knows of any others. I'd love to know!

Thank you for they list. My husband was like 'how much have you send already, you been getting a lot of packages' I told him there wore all free samples and ask me where wore his.

There was a Juice Beauty table at my Whole Foods today with one of their reps.  I got 3 of their daily essentials - which is 3 each of Cleansing Milk, Antioxidant serum and moisturizer.  I was glad to get the samples because I had emailed Juice Beauty and never heard anything.  I also got a Juice Beauty peel in my Birchbox this month that I haven't tried yet, so I can really give the brand a try now.

I really wanted the drying cream but didn't get it. I love the little bottles they come in, I will def be reusing those when I use the samples all up! The little how to apply guide is adorable! I'm not sure if anyone else got the Enzyme Cleansing Gel but it smells just like aloe vera lotion which I love! I already know I'll be buying from them in the future.

I saved all the little jars and bottle to reuse too.

Wow, what did you say in your e-mail to them?

 

[Ashley Brooke]

I told them I had been referred to their site by good reviews and was interested in trying their products. Then asked if they had a sample or two to send. They asked me what I was interested in and i told them the mask and toning mist. Legit, that's all I said and these showed up. I also got the Bearberry skin face wash but gave it to my sister's GF. These are all regular sized items, I'm still kinda in shock lol.

They sent me a bunch of packets. And my email was not much different . I wonder how they make decision what to send and how much.

 

[leelee82]

That's why I believe it's all on who answers your email. I try to keep mine short and sweet. I only received a few packets from them.

 

[BeautyLoverIT]

I just send off an email to Hourglass, DermOrganics, and 12Benefits because those are all brands I am very interested in.  I will try Josie Maran and a few others in a little bit.

I got packets, too. I posted a pic a few days ago on this thread. They're nice packets, but now ... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Because I am really interested in their products and I feel gypped.

I'd be happy with packets If it was really good stuff. I hate when some one posts oh so and so sent me samples then I email them and they are like no we don't give out any samples.... I'm like really????     

But I have gotten some amazing samples of stuff I'm really loving. I even got a friend started asking for samples she is allergic to petroleum products so most drug store lotions and such she can't use. So I gave her a list of companies that are all natural so she can finally find some stuff she can fall in love with not just settle.

very cool. I had e-mailed them and they replied right back on Monday so I will see what I can try. I noticed they sell the products at Whole Foods so that is great if I like them.

I actually think companies run out of samples from time to time and word it wrong when they e-mail back to you. Especially if the volume of requests suddenly goes up. I don't mind if it is packets either- at least we are not even paying for shipping! I think it is worse if a company replies back that they sell samples for $10.00 or more but don't even let you know what you would get. It might just be one small foil packet.

For Jane iredale what option did you choose? I sent an email to the one recommended in a few pages back but she is out of office. Does that mean I will have to send another when she is back or has she received it but hasn't read it ?

 

[Ashley Brooke]

Every other sample I've gotten has been small packets of stuff, except this and DermOrganic. It all depends on who you get on the other end. My cousins and friends are doing it now and some of them have gotten "yes" while other's get "no" some get one or two things while other's get tons of products. It's all in luck.
