Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[meaganola]

I posted that before the coffee kicked in for the day - after I posted it I reread and saw the sarcasm, but was too lazy to edit the post. I must need more coffee, I'll have to remedy that later as a reward for dealing with this godawful heat today.

I had someone comment yesterday that there's only TWO MORE WEEKS of the heat left! Such a bummer it's almost over! I almost jumped across the counter to strangle her with her hair.

That's two weeks too many of this heat. I'm so ready for it to cool off and stay cool.

we're having a big "cool-off" tonight and moving to low-to-mid-80s temps instead of the mid-to-high-90s that we've had for the past two weeks. And I'm SO GRATEFUL.  YAY. FALL.

Yes! I'm ready for fall weather and colors! It's so hot here and I hate being sweaty. I swear I have an excess of sweat glands or something. In regards to the summer mixtape collection I think the colors will stay up until they sellout like they've done for most of their newer collections but I could be wrong. I've never gotten an announcement that a collection will be disappearing it's usually just gone out of nowhere or certain colors disappear (and sometimes reappear). I also must be in the minority because I loved everything about this months mystery box.

I have always received excellent customer service from RH, even when a friend received horrid service.  My products were in great condition and my bags shipped promptly.  

However.......

I moved from Oklahoma to Florida on Aug 10.  I used my usual ship dates to decide whether or not to change addresses prior to the actual move.  Using this method, I decided my typical ship date for RH was on the 10th of the month so I gave them the new address.  I did a change of address at my old house just in case, but wanted all my subs closer to their normal time.  I received shipping info on 8/4, which would send my RH to Florida several days before I got there.  I was deathly afraid of "Return to Sender", so I immediately sent an email begging them to pull the shipment.  Carolyn responded quickly, saying she caught it just in time and would send it out on August 8.  On August 11, I sent an email verifying the shipment had been sent, since there was no tracking update.  Once again, Carolyn responded immediately, saying she would follow up and get back with me.  I waited until 8/16 (remember, this was supposed to ship 8 days prior) to send another follow up, since there was still no tracking update.  I didn't hear back from Carolyn until yesterday, 8/19.  She told me they shipped it, but it was returned because of a missing label.  Never mind the fact that tracking didn't show any activity, whatsoever!  I finally got tracking updated, and it looks like they just dropped it off/had it picked up today!  I'm not looking for free product or discounts or anything other than an "Oops!  We dropped the ball!  Our bad!"  Carolyn, however, has not offered anything remotely like an apology.  This is how it started with my friend, so I'm afraid cancellation is in order.  This makes me super sad because I really liked RH and the quality of CS I've become accustomed to has always been supreme.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA:  spelling error!

Update:

I decided to give RH one more chance, so I didn't cancel.  I received shipping info on 9/4.  I just checked to see if I should expect it tomorrow and noticed it was sent to Oklahoma again.  So, even though I changed my info in their system a month and a half ago AND notified Carolyn of my move, they are still shipping to my old address.  I received August's original shipment this past Friday (they had sent me another and told me to refuse delivery on the original if it ever showed) so I don't have high hopes of getting this one any time soon.  I just can't do RH anymore.

ETA:  The reason they shipped me a 2nd bag last month was because even after all of the emails, they still sent the original to Oklahoma, which set off another batch of emails.  Carolyn has had confirmation of my new address since the middle of July.

Tip for those who also subscribe to SquareHue: sugarberries over that brick red cream from this month's box is autumnal glitterbomb glory! I'm waiting to wear that until after it starts actually becoming fall around here. We're still in the 80s and 90s around here.

Asteroid B over Zoya Natty is a gorgeous night sky.  ^_^

You can't really see the purplish iridescence in that picture, but it's pretty in the sunlight.

I think my bag is lost in Tampa.  It was scanned at 1:26 AM and normally whenever it's in Tampa it gets to me in the mail that day.  Mail lady just came and nada.... USPS tracking never showed it in my city.  I'm having to cut back on all non essentials and I still wanted to keep this subscription since it's pretty much my only polish purchase for now but I hate that I am getting it later and later and later.  I get that there's probably more subscribers and mines the mini bag so it doesn't get any kind of priority but such a disappointment.  It was sent on the 4th (when it actually started) and now I won't get it til maybe3 the 9th unless it's lost.

I absolutely love this months polishes and products! The pomme rouge scent is incredible and mine really smells like red apples. Here's to hoping they send out some fall colors next month, fingers crossed for a forest green.

 

[Imberis]

I'm kind of bummed I missed out on the pomme rouge scented products, but other than that I am ok with not having this month's bag. I like the red color, but the rest of them I doubt I'd use very often.

I'm loving this month's box too. It's my first so of course I'm a little overly excited about discovering this brand recently, but these colors are gorgeous. I put the red guy over my favorite fall red polish on my toes & it's quite spectacular. It gives it just the right amount of texture & sparkles beautifully. I'm loving it. Tonight I'm pairing the blue over my favorite navy polish. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty too.

Oh & I love the pomme rouge. My question is where do we put the body balm? Is it for dry areas? Can we use it on our lips because it smells so good I could eat it!

Hhmmm... I was showing up to ask the same thing! What do we do with this body balm in a Chapstick container??? Cuticles? Lips? Anywhere? I haven't opened it yet.

I wasn't sure about the colors at first, but I've tried Asteroid B and Salacia so far, and I love them both. I'm not sure about the body balm, maybe elbows and knees?

I guess you can use it like a solid lotion bar - pretty much anywhere on your body that's dry. I would maybe contact RH first before putting it on my lips.

I think its just perfume in a balm form. It says moisturizing in the description but I tried it on my cuticles and I didn't really spread out or work like my cuticle balm did and I tried it on a very rough patch of skin with no result. Seeing how we didn't get a roll on this month and the sent us a bottle of lotion I figured that's what it was for. I did look at the ingredient list vs the cuticle stuff and there's less its just oils and parfume but the cuticle stuff had wax, vitamin e etc. The lip balm has similar ingredients to the cuticle balm with flavor and extracts also.

I'm getting my first Mystery Bag today. And, I couldn't be happier. I finally caved after seeing this month's colors. They are so pretty. Also bought Magic Cake (A lemming of mine for a long time) and Stolen Dance.

Sorry all I am super dense today but I got this email from Rainbow Honey.  Does this mean this is what is in the October bag?  I know lots of people are burnt out on pinks but I love pink and it's my bday month so if this is what I will get I want it!  But I am new to RH (only ordered 1x in July).  TIA!

 

[meaganola]

@@lovepink Nope, that's a completely separate thing.  Every month. Rainbow Honey introduces at least one limited edition item for sale for that month.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so they're doing this set for October.  If you want it, you will have to order it.  We won't know what the mystery bag is like until people start receiving their bags and posting the contents.  Rainbow Honey never releases anything more than sometimes a vague hint (like the month they sent a body spray/splash, they made a reference to how that month's bag was going to make "a splash") for the mystery bags, and even that is rare.

Good to know! I see that the special set is $30!  I am going to keep an eye out for when people get their bags to make my decision! Thanks!

Interesting.. My shipping info is out of Elverson PA now...
