So if they are going with "vintage" stuff, it would be awesome if they'd send one of these my way.

@Jannie -- that lipstick is GREAT on you!
 Twistband is a brand, not a product. The Twistband hair tie was what you were supposed to get in the pick2pack. I am assuming you wanted the Twistband headband opposed to the Twistband hair tie

Thanks everyone! It's like taking a shot of self confidence, you guys are so sweet! My first red lip product!

I had a friend who managed the EL counter years ago when I was still working who told me about that. She also said that was why a lot of companies went from incredible GWPs at Christmas to having PWP instead.

   As to whether if a return would still keep you over the minimum and allow you to keep the GWP (say Min $50, spent $85, returning $25...leaving $60 spent) I would contact the company with all the math before doing a return.
Thanks for the reply!  I figure BB would let you keep the GWP if the remaining order was still over the minimum, but it would still give me pause in determining whether I would want to take a chance on a product in that order too.

And Jannie, love the look!  The eyeliner is great!  I only really play around with makeup like that at night too...I'm still learning how to do eyeliner without looking ridiculous, but you look like you have it down perfectly!

I need a moment to vent.  Last month when I received my BB, the KMS hair shape stuff had exploded all over my box.  IT SMELLED GREAT!!!  lol, so I went ahead and contacted BB and they said they had lots of that sample and would send me a new one and to allow up to 10  business days.  Three weeks later, still no sample (I'm bummed about it).  So I reply again to their e-mail asking what the story was....they just got back to me and said that they ran out.  Someone couldn't have told me this??  I was excited to try it to see if I wanted to buy it.  Now, well.  I'm not going to buy something that I haven't tried that is so expensive.  In the end, they gave me 100 points.  Which  brings me to $40 and we haven't gotten our box this month AND it's my 1 year anniversary.  Soooooooo now I get to patiently wait to get that code so I can do a mini shopping spree.

Rant over.

Good thing you can't see what my room looks like behind me haha
Very pretty!

So I let CS know that they sent me mens samples in my mystery pack... I didn't say anything mean, only that I was confused and disappointed to get mens samples when there is a mens shop with there own mystery sample pack... so they sent me a new sample pack and it had a Essie's Fair Game (which I think they sent out during the goop boxes or something and I was one of many who didn't receive one) and one foil of supergoop sunscreen. I didn't expect to get anything so woohoo! I'm happy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yeah, that has happened to me a couple of times.  They also offered me 100 points!

I got a clicky truck AND weight!  It weighs 0.72 and will arrive on September 11 (which should make the day a little brighter for me)!  Anyone know if the boxes started loading yet?

That was super fast!

Anyone else checking multiple times a day to see if their truck has converted to a clicky truck?

Perfume sample sneak peek on Facebook. I'd try it. It has a lot of notes that I generally like.

 

[czofkie]

Clicky Truck!  No info yet though!

 

[sbeam36]

I got my clicky truck! Weight is .635 and estimated to be here Sept 11!

Neither of my accounts have clicky trucks yet!  This is the last month of my second sub, so I'll need to decide whether to keep it or not.  If I get awesome boxes I'll probably extend my sub and if it's "meh" it'll be easier for me to go back to one account.  We'll see I guess!
