I doubt they'll do anything if you email except explain blah blah we try to match to you and hope you like it. 

even if i say the expiration date is ridiculous? haha who can use up chapstick in 2 months? especially one that is painful haha

I got 4 items including a perfume sample /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...and the only thing I liked was the lipfusion which ended up making my lips SO chapped...and it expires in 2 months.

GRRR. Do you think if I e-mailed them about it they will give me some points? haha

I got the same box as you! That lip fusion smells so good (but also weirdly makes me think of going to my dentist? I don't know!) and the packaging is awesome- but this is one of the worst lip products I've had. Also I've wanted to try the dior mascara and miss dior cherie for ages so I'm really really bummed.

Ugh I want another LBB. They make me way happier than my other subscriptions hahaha /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Gah, I just want my bag to get here already. I loved everything I ended up with this last time around and I ended up getting SO much Cargo makeup, hah. I wish I had it all for the vacation I am going on next week /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I do wish LBB's shipping was faster though. I closed another bag that I opened for my mom over a week ago and it still hasn't shipped. #impatient

I can tell you that diorshow extase which is the one they are sampling is the most amazing mascara ever. lol, I'll never look back. They do have the birchbox promo code for it on the dior website, you'll get free shipping, a deluxe sample of their lash primer (also one of my fav eyelash products) and a perfume sample for 28.50.

I'm glad i'm not the only one unhappy with it! I can't believe they gave us a freaking "notecard" as our extra. The only thing in my last BB that I liked was my extra...and it was 2 packets of tea.

I agree, LBB makes me MUCH happier than the other subs. Which is probably why I canceled almost all of them

Autumn - what does the bottom say for your expiration date?

I like stationary but I definitely don't think BB should be including stationary as a part of the box. They've had quite a few ridiculous extras, like the coasters- ugh.  I think I'm done with BB, unless they have another TV type box (which I missed out on!) I love how LBB has new products on a frequent basis and sometimes restocks older products /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just hope they continue their success, they're my favorite sub ever!

7/12 :[ I never really care about expiration dates but that's pretty lame, especially since I have a ton of lip balms/chapsticks to use up from other subs. The expiration date is probably the reason we got a full sized product, though I think there are a few better full sized items in the other boxes.

I'm getting TWO of box 1 from BB. ugh! I'm cancelling my extra account and putting that money towards something more important. LBB. 

That said, I called LBB, I forgot who I talked to on the phone at first (but she was so sweet and easy to talk to), and then Emily (yay Emily) called me back, processed my return credit, and skipped the bag I had opened this morning so I can start again *with* my credit. I have such great customer service from her (and today from the first woman I spoke with, as well). 

I'm thinking I will start another LBB when I see something more exciting added. Exciting = one of the Madden bags I want. 

 My return credit is only $30 (even though the damaged item was $35), sigh, but at least I didn't have to pay to ship it back or anything.

Hey all, have been mia for a few days because of a sick little boy.

Does anyone know how the pink deux lux heidi bag is trading? I have an offer for it but don't know if I want to give up my necklace for it.

 

[nicepenguins]

Just closed my bag--I'm not a mega-trader like some of the people on here, but I love what I got! We are buying a new house, so I traded hard for that necklace, plus the frames can go in the baby's room and the candle will be super cute in the kitchen. Also like the Betsey bag to go inside the larger tote. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I had seen two LBB unboxing videos on YouTube that included the $20 fringe necklace I used to avoid at all costs, but after watching those videos I completely and absolutely fell in love with the necklace! It's so nice for the summer. I'll end up wearing it close to my neck instead of letting it hang lower. It's gonna be uber sexy that way. Thank you Stephanie for getting it to me last night through your own trading. 

 I'm happy I had the bracelet you have been wanting (it's SO cute).

This is one of the videos that made me fall in love with the fringe necklace. I *NEED* the pastel one now...

Who would have thought the necklace I avoided for a month would end up being the necklace I wanted oh so bad?!! LOL. It used to be way easy to get, and then when I desperately wanted it, no one wanted to trade it with me. Booooo! 

That does not look like the picture they had of the pastel one on LBB. I swear their pictures suck so bad. I want that necklace now too, I love that color combination!

You know how LBB sucks me in again? When I'm trying to online shop for ONE thing, in this case Betsey Johnson long dangly earrings, and I realize "for just $20 more I can have a whole LBB to play with"....

I'm going to open another, but only because it's giving me a decent looking starting bag. But after this, I need a LBB break. I'm all traded out. lol.

LIAR! You know none of us will ever be all traded out. I think LBB is the Hotel California....You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!

nicepenguins, Did you know that I love you with all my heart. You could be like my BFF, if you want. Oh and by the way, I would love that house necklace, want my address?

I know! I got the bright one on it's way to me and now I'm working on getting that pastel one to me too! The pastel one is SUPER gorgeous. Those colors are stunning. If people knew how it really looked it would be a fought over necklace in that price range, I think.

Oh and your other post is absolutely right about me. Welcome to the LBB Hotel Caliiiiiiiiiiiiifooooooooooornia. I keep looking at starting bag combinations... *shame* 

 

[HelloLeilani]

I think that's an incredible haul, nicepenguins! Congrats!

Oh, as I mentioned, my sister's birthday is coming up and I was thinking about giving her the Betsey bird earrings, but I really want that house necklace to go with it. So I stopped by Burlington Coat Factory, Marshalls, and TJMaxx hoping one of them had some of the Betsey stuff. Only Marshalls had any Betsey, but it was just two different rose earrings on clearance that I had no interest in. But the big news is that TJMaxx had the Steve Madden hobo that's on LBB. It's not as ginorous as it looked in that one girl's video where I said she could probably fit in it. (I wonder if it's the camera angle she had, and it looks like she's a small woman, so the combo made that bag look gigantic) It's definitely large, like an oversized tote bag, but within normal bag range. LOL Anyway, it was on clearance for $25 in case anyone is interested.

Holy price difference, Batman!

My closest TJMaxx is 4 cities away! 

 AHHHHHH!

I guess I will make the drive this weekend to check it out. People are having way too much luck finding LBB stuff at their local TJMAXX and Marshalls. I don't wanna miss out on anything good.

AHHH! I want that hobo bag! I'm waiting for them to add it onto lbb so I can open a new one , or any steve madden bags I like actually. Too bad the closest TJMaxx is 30mins away. And I'm super busy this week with finals+work and then this weekend with my boyfriend's prom and then finals again next week. T.T Hopefully they'll have it at the TJMaxx when I finally find time to go!

They also had some gorgeous beach themed Robert Rose jewelry that I wanted so bad, (no, not on LBB as far as I know) but I gotta be careful with the budget for the next few weeks. I hope LBB does get that jewelry in by the time June rolls around so I can get it in my next bag!
