B&P has an oil? Right now I'm using amika oil and it has changed my hair for the better. I love it. Off to check the b&P one out.

 
Is it the beauty protector shampoo and conditioner y'all are talking about? I used that crap once and tossed it because I just hated the way my hair reacted to it. I've been using the spray for months with no problem though!
For me it was the spray. I also had breakouts when I used the oil, but I assumed it was still the new birth control. I ran out of the oil a couple of weeks ago, and my skin started looking much better. Until yesterday which was the day after I used the bp spray. Can't say for sure it was the spray, but it's in areas where my hair hits my face so I'm going to try not using it.

The spray for me. I loved it too and it hurts my heart that it's doing this. I will also use this post to plug the Amika Hair Mask. It's amazing! I will never let it go!

funny how different everyones hair is... the Amika knotted my hair up sooooo bad when i used it.... and i always comb through my hair when i have conditioner in it and i couldnt get it through at all

 
FYI- the SFBB100 code is back to 100 points (at least for me). I used it fine this afternoon for 2 of my other accounts to get the 200, finally got around to using it for my third tonight and that's when I saw I only got 100. Good luck to anyone else trying it!

 
So I was just trying to find some common ingredients between the BP and Yes to Carrots -- Cocamidopropyl betaine

In fact, it was named the 2004 Allergen of the Year by the American Contact Dermatitis Foundation (Which apparently exists!!).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocamidopropyl_betaine  

I was reading through the comments to this post on NMDL: http://nomoredirtylooks.com/2012/05/do-you-use-the-yes-to-lines/

Someone commented that they have scalp breakouts when Sh/C contains too much of this ingredient.  Anyways, might not be it, but it might be something you all are allergic too!

 
My bb points are burning a hole in my pocket!! If I just wait a few months I'll have so much more!! How do y'all stand it?!?

I hope this isn't the case. I bought the yes to carrots and yes to blueberries shampoo and conditioner back when they were having the $2 everything sale. I just haven't gotten around to using them yet.
 
I had to stop the Beauty Protector too. For what it's worth, if you're looking for an alternative, I like Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Spray even better.

Does anyone know if you can use the mobile20 code more than once?
Unless something has changed recently, it's a one-time thing unfortunately.
Alas! I'm trying to find a way to split a large order to get two pick 2s when they come back into stock, but I only have the one code.

Try an anniversary code. Sometimes they work even when they are supposed to be expired. 20% codes sometimes come out otherwise too, but I'd bet they won't release one until their warehouse move is over with.

That's unfortunate :[[[[

That just goes to show, beauty products with everyone differently. It's fascinating.

I feel like the warehouse move is so unorganized. I wonder if they were offered a deal they couldn't refuse on short notice or something. Would have made better sense to hold a "big sale" or something to get some merchandise off the shelves before the move so they wouldn't have to pay to transport the goods from warehouse to warehouse. Not to mention this on top of their brick and mortar store opening. Poor planning or unfortunate timing.

WOW!!! THANK YOU. i wonder if Gloss Moderne's high gloss shampoo also has these ingredients?

Yes to made my hair REALLY flat and gross looking. My scalp was ALWAYS itchy, flaky, and dry and it broke out often in really large, painful hurty zits..thank god hair covered that up though. What sucks is that I *bought* that shampoo and conditioner for the purpose of curing the problems of the Gloss Moderne. 

BP spray and oil make my hair look really nice and healthy and soooo soft. I love it. BUT! I never use it on my scalp/hairline (that's reserved for Bumble and Bumble Tonic spray). I have a feeling that my scalp does get angry if I get BP spray on it... so I should either be extra careful or just return it..boooo.

EDIT: gloss moderne high gloss shampoo has -- Lauramidopropyl Betaine and Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, .. they sound similar! is it the same thing? i dont know about this stuff. 

I'm glad Trader Joe's $4 shampoo has saved me. 

 
This is so crazy! I'm so glad @AshJs3 brought it up. I'm so upset though. My face was finally clearing up after 3 months of new ocp breakouts. Ugggh! Edit: is there anything else in it that could cause breakouts? I don't normally have a problem with silicones...at least, I don't think I do....
Almost every ingredient says it could be a skin irritant. (Yes, I googled every ingredient lol) This was for the BP oil.
 
Slightly annoyed... Placed an order on Friday with two day shipping, figuring it would go out Monday & be here by Wednesday. 

Finally got a shipping notice today...at 19:56...for only one of the items out of four that I ordered. And it's just 'electronic information received' so it probably won't actually ship until tomorrow. 

I guess I just wish they'd let you know if things were backordered, or whatever is going on. They're not even sending my pick-two, which was in stock when I ordered. 

Do you think maybe they have some items at the new warehouse and some at the old warehouse, so there will be two different shipments? Has this happened to anyone lately?
