John Masters, Oscar Blandi, Derm Organics, Original Sprout, Living Proof, Nature's Gate, Ouidad, Skin By Monica (they include a hair sample). There may be more, but these are the ones I have gotten so far!

 
I got a NO from Eve Lom "We are not able to hold onto requests for samples but you are more then welcome to contact us in about 4 months'

 
And a NO from Malin& Goetz. They want me to drop in in one of their locations [SIZE=10pt]in New York or Los Angeles to get a free skin consultation[/SIZE]. LOL! I live in FL!!!

Same answer from Caudalie. I have a Caudalie 45 minutes from where I live. I might drop by...

Skin by Monica wants me to purchase a Sample.

Another NO from Uberliss...

Unfortunate! Try replying to them, saying that you don't live near one of their locations? That's what I did with Caudalie, and they sent samples after that. 

It does seem to be pretty random, who gets what response! I guess it just depends on how the CS rep is feeling that day...

Aww, it's a shame the Dr. Brandt samples are foil packets, especially the Glow ones.  It's kind of difficult to fall in love with a $65 (pink)/$85 (silver) "serum."  It took me at least a week of daily use to fall in love with/justify purchasing them.  I hope you like them!  I hate that they cost so much, but they really help my skin and last forever.

 


I was gone for the weekend, and look at all the goodies waiting for me when I got back! Samples from Skin by Monica, Restorsea, Evologie, Erno Laszlo, L'Occitane, Caldrea, and Hermes.

This stuff is from Skin By Monica. It came in a cute pouch. In the middle is VMV. I asked for samples of makeup. They are foundation, BB cream, blush, lipstick/glosses. And the white boxes are stuff she just threw in, toothpaste, cleanser, sunscreen and a full size lip gloss! I am so happy :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The last things are from Beauty Society. She sent me 5 packets of a face collection and a vile of body oil. Can't wait to try them!



This is stuff from Mario B, Jessie's, L'occitane (minus two perfume packets, I used them already) L'Oreal (I didn't contact directly, it was from a link) And I got the Kiehl's from Nordstroms, just thought I'd throw them in here cause they were free! I really liked the perfume I got from L'occitane. It was their verbena scent. I am going to have my husband get it for me for my birthday. Its so fresh smelling!

For Beauty Society, how did you figure out who to contact? Did you just pick one of their representatives ("divas") in your area or the main contact email?

I just went to the website and contacted through there.

 
So today I was waiting for a trade and hoping for some of my samples to arrive so rushed to my mailbox when I got home and was excited to see a couple of bubble mailers in the mailbox.  Then my boyfriend yells that all of the mail is on the porch and when I looked there was like ten various boxes and bubble mailers on my porch, I couldn't believe it.  I wasn't in the mood to organize everything once I opened it (had a long day out) but this is a picture of all the sample packages (except one of the boxes is from a trade).  I was really wondering what my mailman was thinking when he had all these packages addressed to the same person.



Also, I got samples from The Laundress.  I haven't seen anyone post that they got samples them them yet.

edited because the picture didn't upload the first time.

Okay, I just wrote to the email address on the website, I guess if I don't get a response there I can try one of the divas. Thanks!
