How is the reed diffuser? Ive been thinking to place another order...

I set it out on the counter, but I can't tell right now...I will let you know tomorrow! I made crock pot beef stew and it's overpowering everything else with beefy stewy goodness LOL!

I loooooove the vanilla hibiscus lip quench, it's soooo creamy and light. And smells heavenly!

I'm def not regretting getting that set...just for the record, my body butter wasn't sealed and it's full to about the 'Body Butter' writing, so about half way for being marked 2.5oz.

I'm also loving all the little sample scents, except for the Mexican Cocoa, that one might have to grow on me for winter time lol. I just love the cute little tins with the artwork for each scent!

ETA: My 2nd order tracking already updated...it went UPS and should be here next Wed due to the long weekend. Come to momma little pretties!

Nice haul!

 

[cari12]

Yay! My 2nd order should be here on Saturday (assuming they send it the right way this time). Still waiting on my first. It left Seattle on the 16th and it's around 8-9 days on average from there when it goes by barge, so that may show up Saturday as well. It would be awesome to get them both on the same day, holy Pacifica overload! 

Love seeing pics of all your hauls. I bet Pacifica got a TON of Ipsy business this month. I'm glad they are going to team up with Ipsy again in the future, though for the sake of my wallet I hope it's not til July or August ;-)

That's strange that you said your paccifica vanilla body butter was not sealed neither was mine. I ordered a few  body butter and they were all sealed. I don't know what to do should I call them or just let it go. I feel creepy using it its partially empty. yick

Someone contacted them (Magicalmom I think) and they said it was old and new packaging....older = no seal, newer = seal. There was also some discussion on the Ipsy thread about the bottles appearing half empty, but I believe the correct amount is there, it's just a huge tube for the amount of lotion we get. If I had a kitchen scale, I'm sure it would weigh at least 2.5oz, which is how much product is supposed to be in the tube according to the label.

I was just throwing my findings in to support things we had already noticed and discussed at length on the Ipsy thread, not complaining about my findings. Just to be clear /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

BTW, I am really loving Tibetan Mountain Temple. It reminds me of the tattoo shop I used to work in when I was 18....that place always reeked of patchouli to cover the pot smell LOL! Good times!

Twas me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They actually sent me a replacement vanilla body butter, but that was the old packaging with no seal, too, and only *slighty* fuller than the first tube I had. haha, oh well! It doesn't look USED, so that is the important thing, I suppose. I think it is the right amount of actual product, too. I have a three oz. lotion I use at night and that tube is about the same size as these 2.5 oz ones. So as far as the actual LOTION inside it, I do think we have the right amount. It's just a little odd that they use such large tubes for the amount of product that is in it.

Yes, twas she! 

There were other users that commented (on the main Ipsy thread, I believe) that the packaging is ridiculously huge for the amount of product you get, but there is 2.5 fl oz. in there by weight/volume  (I know meaganola and Zadidoll both confirmed this).  I do also remember someone saying that their *new* packaging is foil sealed... which makes me think that they got rid of a lot of the older packaging by sending it to Ipsy.  I have no problem with it, as the items came either directly from the Pacifica warehouse (our orders) or from Pacifica warehouse --> Ipsy warehouse --> our homes.  The items were never sitting out on retail shelves where someone could use the lotion before it got to us.

However.  I am glad that the new packaging is foil-sealed.  Just to help my occasional germophobe tendencies.

I never opened my ipsy Tuscan blood from a few months ago (its on my trade list), still have it and it's foil sealed, so they didn't necessarily get rid of their old stuff with ipsy.

I wonder when the switch came at their manufacturing facility. Before January, I know, but I want to know how old the "old" stuff is and why they're selling and sampling a random mix of old and new instead of just getting rid of the old first.

I love the Sea Foam face wash. It smells so good!

Good to know! I have some on the way based on all the good things I have heard about it.

The vanilla reed diffuser is working great! I got the smaller one, 4oz, so it's not good for a big area, but In my office it's nice! Not too strong, but when you walk in you can really smell the light vanilla scent. Very happy with it.

Got tracking for the ipsyme wanderlust set...but sigh, it's coming DHL /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My Pacifica order should be here Wednesday to tie me over, I can wait to check everything out.

Ugh. Ipsy needs to drop DHL like a bad habit. I'm hoping they will since there seemed to be an abundance of shipping issues with the May bags.

Pacifica is wonderful my package was lost for a week or so and I called them and they gave me a full 40 dollar refund plus a credit of 10 dollars for my next purchase.( code was pacifica10 ) you can try it might work. They also told me If the package comes I can just keep the items.  It came eventually which means I got everything for free.

My Pacifica stuff keeps getting more and more delayed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm still waiting on my 1st order from almost two weeks ago and my 2nd order was supposed to come today but got pushed back to next week. Not Pacifica's fault but I'm still bummed these are taking so long - my Ipsy bags sent from GA and KY with the DH(snai)L got up here faster than my Pacifica USPS from OR /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's amazing. I hope my packages show up soon but I'm really starting to think my 1st order got lost in the USPS mix-up, even with the slower method it should've been here by now. I'm planning to call them on Tuesday. 

They gave me the Pacifica10 code when I emailed about my 1st order earlier this week and it stacks with other codes (so I used it to place my 2nd order which also seems to be taking the slowest route possible now)

 

[award04]

I love that they will stack the discount/promo codes. So- big question- does anyone have a list of working codes? And have people still been getting the discount code for 10% off if you don't purchase with a full basket? I'm waiting to see if I get that before placing my order.
