Little Black Bag

I'm so happy that you were able to trade them for the other ones!! Yay!

The pricing on some stuff is really bizarre. Like some things that look expensive to me, are priced really low, and vice versa!

I agree. these look just as expensive as my cute $14 feather earrings!!

Also this isn't skill on my part, all 3 of my trades that got me from $26 to $60 were other people offering me items. I very rarely actually get someone to accept my offers!! I usually just check my phone habitually and jump on offers when I can!

It's weird how the luck works on there!

I don't have good luck with my trades being accepted on there either.

It's always offers from others too. Like that girl really really must have wanted the Bow Ring, and I totally can't blame her because it's SUPER cute!

I wanted to keep it pretty badly, but I don't wear rings much, plus it was in her favorited items so I felt like she should have it more than me.

HMMM looks like these are selling for pretty cheap elsewhere....

$25 seems about right for the price. That's what'd I'd consider them worth anyway (which is still good considering that's about 1/3 of the price of my LBB this round and I have 7 items right now)

 

[javagirl87]

awwww i saw that trade! do you have the lucite clutch now? is that you?

I LOVE that ring, but I couldn't pull it off. I really like bows but I'm not a glitter/bling person haha.

Donna you found it! That it is! It's lovely, reminds me of the Jane Iredal Mystikol eye powder pens. And I'll wait until June 1st then!

Stephanie, Im so glad it wel well! Don't make any life decisions at the end of the semester. I say wait until August so you'll have a clear, level head. I bet you won't feel the same. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I must have really weird taste because to me that thing just isn't interesting, but that's what makes this site work I guess! It wouldn't work very well if we all loved the same stuff!

It is hard guessing what people will like, and the weird thing is that one day something might trade well and the next it won't.

My cargo collection is quite nice thanks to lbb and the one item from  glossybox. I had an eyeliner, mini mascara, bronzer, and mini lipgloss before from them that I loved but had kind of put the brand on teh backburner. Now I have the eye bronzer, two eye shadow smokey eye duos, two mascaras, 2 cream blushes, and a powder blush. I may actually start buying their stuff.

I'm the opposite. It seems like I'm not getting much for offers, or rather reasonable offers. I get lots of $12 - 20 offers for my $64 earrings! lol I just put in all kinds of offers and half the time I don't expect anything, and then BAM! Someone takes it.

I barely got any sleep. I have herniated discs in my neck/upper back and they are acting up tonight/today. I also have a problem with my right shoulder that hasn't been diagnosed but I'm going to physical therapy for. Anyway, they decided to do some weird thing to me at PT today. They put on a steroid patch and then hooked it up to electrodes and it's supposed to force the steroids through the skin into the bones and tendons. So now my shoulder is extra sore too.  It's too painful to sleep so I tossed and turned until I gave up, so I'll probably be exhausted and pass out soon and miss half the trading day. There are days when life just sucks!

So my foray into little black bag did not go as plan but I did get a good bag, I only lasted two days into trading once I realized I blew off two important deadlines and  I did absolutely no work while obsessively checking for trades - fun for me - yes, good for career - no.

 My first and last bag should be arriving shortly. I have really  no self control....

So this foray leads me to a question - are there any other subscription services for accessories, clothing, or bags other than the Mints and LBB? Whats your opinion on style mint - quality wise?

omg YAY just got the big buddha sequin clutch I've been wanting for the last month. Had to give up my cargo make up but I don't even care! 

Now if only I could get my earrings and nail polish to turn into a Jelly bag, I'd be SO happy with this bag. Not that I need 2 clutches and a purse BUT still.

I know justfab does accessories but I don't subscribe to any other ones because lbb trading is SO much fun. Do you have a way to block it at work? 

I have no room to talk because I sit on it all day at work lol.

Man, no one is giving those Deux Lux satchels up! I offer $160 and still no bites. Grrrr

At that point, I'd just buy one! They have them on sale on their website...and other cuter bags, imo.

I thought about it, but I am not attached to what I was offering so I didn't mind. I'd rather spend $50 on 3 items I love than 5 in LBB that I'm lukewarm on.

I might bite the bullet and just go buy one though!

 

[theredwonder]

Their site is sold out. nevermind.

I agree, I'd rather have 3 "big" (read: handbags) items than 8 pieces of jewelry I might never wear. Which is why I'm really happy with my bag right now, I know I'll use all of it. 

BUT I do plan to order a deux lux bag from their website now, its easier to pick the color and style I want for something I REALLY want, even if it costs 20 dollars more than a second lbb.

Oh bummer!! Did you look at the totes? They have some super cote totes on there. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Playedinloops]

Which color were you looking for? It seems they still have some in! 

Their shipping is super expensive. I'll just watch for the bags at nordstrom, I think. Free shipping on their website!
