To the left of the 'FREE' it gives you instructions and lists the codes again. Says the codes are unique. I already used mine and I think you can see it for a sec in my video so I hope no one tries using it again! lol. I'll have to check back at your post Zadi- I got 74.54 without the bag (didn't know what to use for the value of the eye shadows because they are about dime sized instead of the 1 inch pans they sell online so i figured about $4.)

oh okay. thank you. i won't use your code (i promise) 

. my bag should be coming this afternoon anyway

If the pans are the tiny ones then the size is 0.62" (1.6cm) compared Hot Pots (which is why Coastal Scents calls their individual pans) which are 1" (2.5cm) [26mm] in diameter. So value wise if a 26 mm Hot Pot sells on their site at normal retail for $1.99 then the tiny ones would have a value of around 99 cents each so your figure of about $4 is pretty accurate. These small Hot Pots will not fit the ELF palette.

Well that's nice (and it sucks) about the MyGlam offer on Mireness' FB wall. My bag won't be here until next week which is the same for those on the west coast.

What's the offer? I don't see anything about it on MyGlam or Mireness' FB, maybe I missed it ...

Ok, just posted the preview for October on my blog so here's the values of the products sent. I'm not going to bother posting it under a spoiler tag since it's not a secret.

1. Be A Bombshell eyeliner - full size. Retail: $14
2. theBalm What's Your Type mascara - full size. Retail: $19
3. Mirenesse lip bomb - full size. Retail: $35.10 (their club price is $28.08)
4. Coastal Scents - four eye shadows. Retail: $1.99 each ($7.96 total)
5. Couture Colour Hair Treatment. Retail: $12.00 0.5 oz (if the size we're getting is the 0.5 oz then it's $12)
6. Chevron pattern Ipsy Bag. Similar bags retail between $3.50 to $9.95 depending on the store. Not sure if it's a set we're getting or just one.

Total product value: $88.06 approximate not factoring in cost for Ipsy bag.

NOTE: IF the Courture Colour product is the 4 oz as pictured then the product retails for $32 which brings the total product value at $108.06.
thebalm size is 3.5ml instead of the 12ml for $19 full sized so it's $5.54. 

The Mirenesse must have upped their prices- it says $39 retail on the website now. ($31.20 for their club price)

I figured since the pans are 1/2 sized it was about $4

SO HAPPY!!! Ipsy wins this month hands down!


Thanks again Mandy. I know I updated my blog entry about the sizes but forgot to do so for my post.

What's the url for Mirenesse that you're seeing the prices at? I'm seeing it at http://www.mirenesse.com/30-lip-gloss

That's exactly what I thought! for us over here on the West coast it's like "hey! look what the east coasters who get their bags first got!" nbd really, since I snagged a full size lash growth serum in beauty army last month, but still. I think with offers like that they should make it on a certain date AFTER we should have received our bags. Thats just my opinion lol.

hmm... that is SO weird. the urls are almost identical and the pages are like word for word the same but the prices are different. this is an Australian company, maybe one is us and one is aus?

Mine says it will be here on the 16th. :-( I want mine now!! I hope my LipGloss comes in Bomb 9, but on my Glam page, it shows the darker color. :-(

Mine is out for delivery right now. I think I might have my sister go check the mail to make sure it arrives. Lately, I've been having issues with my post office.

It is super tiny but I love the colors. Just swatched them...really lovely. Can't wait to try them.

Ah, thanks. As I am in California and won't be getting my bag until the 15th, I guess I will have to shell out the $89.50 to get feathers to grow out of my eyelids. 

 

[prachisrk]

Just tried it -- it is awesome!!

Sorry if this has already been answered... what's the deal with the separate $1.00 charge from Ipsy? It's in addition to the $10.00 I was charged for the October bag.

It's to verify that it's a valid credit card number. The amount won't actually be debited from your account.
