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.

What did you get from The Laundress? They're sending me samples too.

The foils are from Suki. I love their Foaming Face Scrub so I asked to try the rest of their line. The little jar is from Taun. It is a men's grooming company and it came in that cute little box!

I was going to post a picture of everything but I can't be bothered to transfer the pictures from my phone to my laptop.  They sent 5 foils: Signature Detergent, Dish Detergent, Delicate Wash, Stain Solution, Wool and Cashmere Shampoo.  They also sent a catalog and a form for ordering from the catalog.  I haven't used any of it yet but I'm excited to.

I don't think anyone posted this one yet but I emailed Marc Jacobs asking for a sample of Honey and they sent me a sample of Honey (standard spray sample) and a sample of Lovestruck by Vera Wang (this was a big sample.  It was in a vial but it was long.  More than double the size of a normal vial.) They also sent a 1 oz size of CK Shock lotion that was in a small tube.

Edited to fix punctuation.

I just have to say that VMV Hypoallergenics is amazing. The response was one of the best I have ever gotten. They seem truly interested in helping me find products that will work for my sensitive skin. I am very excited for my pack!!!

Yes they are! I like that I could try the makeup too. I was expecting just a coupe of samples, but she sent a whole bunch and a full sized lip gloss. Plus she sent some skincare things that I didn't even ask for! And it came super fast. Only 3 days after I ordered it from New York it got to me in Washington clear across the country. I really like the makeup too. It looks really natural. I haven't tried the skincare stuff yet.

Hey guys! My name is isabel and i've been sending lots of emails out to companies.

So far i have received samples from Macadamia oil hair products, Vbeaute, and Dermorganic. Dermorganic had SUCH generous samples and Macadamia sent good size foil hair product samples.

More companies to try that I got yeses from but don't think have been mentioned yet: do you have the email address that you used for Mychelle? I emailed them twice and both time no responses at all : ( Apivita MyChelle Erbaviva sumbody Babor Somme Institute Kerstin Florian Goldfaden MD Bioelements I'll definitely post some pictures when I actually receive the samples!

Yes VMV is sending me makeup samples, skin care samples, and a kit to do a 7 day fast on my skin. I love that the response was about MY skin and how she could help ME... not just sending out a few best sellers or whatever they had on hand. This is the kind of company that will get my business.

That's strange I got a yes from Macadamia and they responded almost immediately after I e-mailed them! You must have had someone grouchy respond to you that day!!

For what it's worth, before I realized they sent out "free" samples, I purchased their sample kit for $2.95. Pretty sure, if I remember correctly, it ships for free. Just an option if you really want to try it, but they won't send for free. http://www.macadamiahair.com/products/detail/mno_sachet_6_piece_sampler

Their page macadamiahair.com wasn't working for days so I wrote them via FB. Maybe that was the mistake. But the page runs again, maybe I try there again... Did anyone get a sample from Moroccan oil? I would love to try that!!!

True! They wanted to have real detailed info about my skin too. Excited to try that!!!

Thats strange that Macadamia said no- this was there email back to me.
