Nice! Can we see a pic of the inside?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.

Try again maybe? Mine came pretty quickly, and they are nice samples (no foil packets!). I told them what I got in the "skincare personality test" and they sent me samples for that skin profile.
I especially wonder why Skin by Monica wants me to purchase a sample set if a lot of you guys got that for free...THAT SET LOOKS SO CUTE!
I got another NO from TokyoMilk. BUT I HAVE NOW FINALLY LOTS AND LOTS OF YESSES! YEHAAA!!!

For the guys I have gotten a yes from Tuan, Menscience and Zirth (didn't respond, but sent samples). Some people have gotten stuff for guys from Molton Brown too. I have tried from a bunch of other guy sites, but have gotten all no's, which is weird! Hope this helps a little. Oh, and the Skin By Monica set (if you can get a yes from them) has a few men samples.

You can also sign him up at sephora for a free birthday gift to pick up in the store! It's a shaving balm I think.
Sadly my closest Sephora is 1 1/2 hours away
You can always register online.
You can sign up online but the gift you can only pick up in store OR you can buy something online and they include the free birthday gift in your order. You can also choose a lot of free samples in your order, but its still more fun to just pick up a free gift than ordering...

I got samples for my Husband from Tuan, Menscience (which he loves!), evolution man, baxter of california, kiehls, and anthony logistics. Jack Black told me no. bummer.
Now the hubby is trying to decide if he likes Anthony or Menscience better... tough life.

I was sending sample requests to almost all companies that I saw people had gotten samples from on here, and I just decided to try some others to see what happens, and the success rate is very different! Lots more "no" s than I had before. Oh well! There are still some that say yes, though--I got positive responses from Donell skincare and OC8.
Also, a question, if a company has said that they'll send samples and you don't get them, should you write an email asking about it again? It seems a little rude when they're already doing something for free, but I don't know. And if so, after what length of time should you inquire?
