Hey ladies...have any of you filled out the questionnaire on the Mario Bedescu website? If not, I'd highly recommend it!

Here's the scoop...go to their website and fill out this questionnaire: http://www.mariobadescu.com/questionnaire.aspx. Wait a couple of days for them to email you with their personal recommendations for you. After you fill out that questionnaire, you'll be directed to a shopping cart of recommended products...just ignore this and wait a few more days for another email. Please be patient...because it's worth the wait! Once you get this second email, scroll to the bottom of the email that says something along the lines of "please click here if you are interested in receiving product samples." 

I highly recommend on signing up for these samples! They sent me at least 8 samples of their products that were recommended for my personal skin type and concerns. This line is amazing and the samples are very generous...no little foil packets here!

I'll post a picture of my samples here when I get home...so you all can see how wonderful they are!

I've done this twice and never got the follow up email..So weird! Maybe I'll try with another account and see what happens.

I got samples from them to a while back. Then they sent out an email asking if I would like to try some samples of two new products. So I got those too!
Me too! Is that the set with a petide serum and a petide cream? I hate the serum! LOL! I have already oily skin and this does not do it a favor!

Yes. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't say whether or not I like it. I have combination skin that gets dry and sensitive every now and then, so maybe it will be good for me. Who knows!

 
Oops. I accidentally emailed Babor twice. I hope that doesn't hurt my chances. I didn't remember emailing before. I need to double check my list. I even added a few that I got months ago just to make sure I don't email again, although most of my samples I got in the past made a huge impression on me... doubt I will forget Mario Badescu, Caldrea, Dr Bronner, or Jane Iredale.

Good to know! I might actually email them and ask about it if it doesn't work this time, though. The first time I tried was in February, and then again at the beginning of July.

 
I am The Girl of 100 Lists, so I'm right there as well, I've got a Filofax (my third or fourth. I've worn some out, and this new one is because I wanted a smaller one this time around so it doesn't take up as much room in my bag) coming today, so I will be spending my evening transferring all of my PocketMod lists (shopping lists, movies to see, incoming packages, potential daytrip destinations, you name it) to my Filofax! Whoo! #yesihaveocd #noiamnotgettingtreatment
Oh yes total OCDer right here. I am the excel queen at work.
 
Excel is one program I wish I knew!
If you have any plans to work in an office, you need to know it! If you just want a spreadsheet program for personal use, I cannot recommend Open Office highly enough. I've been using it for over ten years on Macs and PCs. It's open source and free, and it does everything I want an office suite to do,
 
I don't think these have been listed but both have said yes to my requests for perfume samples, Oscar de la Renta and Folle de Joie.

If anyone here has husbands/boyfriends/brothers they are looking to snag something for I would recommend writing to the Mug for Men email ([email protected]

I received 3 travel sized bottle (about 2oz each) of their face wash, face scrub, and facial lotion. Super quick shipping too and my hubby loves them :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

For reference, this is the exact set that they sent to me: http://www.mugformen.com/mens-anti-wrinkle-skin-care-travel-packs

Here is John Masters and Macadamia.



This is DermOrganic, Ren, vbeaute and NIA24



So excited about these! Jane Iredale. One of everything!



Aubrey



Thia was so nice to get! These are from glo - professionals. They sent me tons of packets from their skin care line, a couple of things from their hair care line, and stuff from their makeup line. For the makeup, I got 4 powder foundation sample, 5 liquid foundation samples and 4 lip gloss samples. Woohoo - happy dance!
Wow, Jane Iredale spoiled you! I got only 1 tiny little powder from her! All the glo stuff looks amazing also! Did you try them yet?

I have tried some of the stuff from glo. I really like the powder foundation. It was light enough for me and since I have neutral undertones, I could use all of them! All the liquid foundation was too dark, and she sent 5 shades. But I just mix them with moisturizer. As for the other stuff, I really like the hair oil and my favorite product was the pumpkin mask. There was only one packet of it and I'm going through withdraws!! It was probably the best product in there. I also liked the lip glosses. Nothing too special, but nice. One of my daughters claimed a couple of them!

They wanted me to buy them. I don't even know if they were the same ones you got, and it wasn't expensive, but I am trying to do this sampling thing completely free! So I think I'll pass.

 
So what companies did not reply to you and just sent items? I have quite a few I never heard from... I am hoping to get something in the mail anyway.

The ones I never heard from, but got samples were from Aubrey, Nature's Gate, Skyn Iceland, Original Sprout, and Zirth. Those are the only ones I can think of now. There may have been one or two more, if I remember them, I'll post.

 
Oh, Xtend Life never got back to me but sent an email saying that a package was being shipped to me. I'm excited because I got a yes from Colorescience saying that they are sending me foundations, serums and primers!
