Aww shucks! I got a little excited at the possibility of the march one. Thanks for your thoughts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have been a Birchboxer for awhile now and I absolutely love this first box from Sample Society! I had no issues with charges or delivery and I was very impressed with the brand names and sizes of the samples. I've used all except the peel mask and they are all great. I went onto the site to do the questionarre that caters future boxes to your wants and likes and hope to get makeup samples in the future.

I wonder if they sent the same box out the first month and then will cater future boxes to questionarre answers. If the boxes continue to be like this, I may cancel Birchbox but it's too soon to tell.

New here on the boards(joined mostly to chat about sample society) and also a sample society subscriber. I actually had a few hiccups in getting my box sent to me as well, due to issues with my credit card(not the cards fault) but customer service came through in the end and fix things after many, many phone calls. My box was sent out on Friday and was given a beauty bar credit ($16). I made sure they emailed me while speaking with me to have a physical proof of said credit. I feel in the future there should not be any problems (fingers cross). My box arrives today, but I work late so the box should be in hand around late evening.

I think I'm most excited for the Eye Pen (NEVER ever to early to start using) and the Dermalogica Exfoliant.

Another reason I also wanted to post on the thread, I really wanted to maximize my ordering potential with the $15 coupon and I found online you can use if you are new to beauty bar (never ordered) you can use the code BBAFF to get $10 off to combine for $25 off. I thought this might be helpful to some.

Okie Dokie I'll be back. I should probably post on the introductions thread....

I am getting this box delivered today!! It was first scheduled for Wednesday, then Tuesday and now its out for delivery today! what a nice surprise! My Birchboxes were both sent out before this box was and I am getting this one first. Funny how that works! BB should switch to UPS Ground shipping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That would be awesome if we could do that, since the minimum order needs to be 50.00 that means we would get half off and only pay 25.00

A friend of mine who got hers already used the code when I told her about it and her order went through fine. I'll double check with her. I haven't used it personally since my order has not arrived yet, for me to see which product I'll like to reorder.

I have played around on the beauty bar site and filled my cart with products and inserted both codes and they work. I plan to order on Wednesday or Thursday after I try the products out to give my personal experience in using the code, but for now between my friends order and using it on the cart page where it says to imput coupons everything looks fine.

I think I created a double post. This one should be deleted by mods.

UPS Ground is MUCH more expensive, which is why I'm assuming this one is 15 vs 10.

I tried using the 2 codes and it totally worked my order went down 25.00 plus the 5.00 credit I had on my account for their mess ups with my box, so a discount of 30.00 on my order of 68.00

Wow, nice! I'll definitely be placing an order for some Skyn stuff then! I LOVE that pen.

Oh good, I'm glad the extra $10 off can be used/combined, its means I can by more stuff. I'm eyeing some moisturizes with SPF for the summer to add to my order at the moment. $30 bucks off plus free shipping is a great first order.

I dont know much about the brand but I am getting the Pure Cloud cleanser in my order since I got it in my BeautyFix this month and I am in love with it.

Ooooo I chose that in my beautyfix last month as well. I love the little cloth included, moisture and lite exfoliation works pretty well for my skin type. Thats really the only thing I got to enjoy in my beautyfix box, I experienced two tragedies in the last box,  the Katria Masque and qlytone (sp?) leaked all over my box and two products were missing from my box (while all the labels of the other products peeled off/ were unreadable due to the liquid products escape), after a bit of a yelling match on the phone I canceled my subscription when they would not send a new box.

Luckily the Pure Cleanser cleanser was in the foil pouch and the inside product/cloth were safe inside with instructions attached.

I think I may add that to my beautybar order as well....

I added it up to roughly $64 on my blog. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> http://beautyoutloud.blogspot.com/2012/03/sample-society-march-2012-first-box.html

I think i'll actually end up staying with sample society just because I really like the $15 off coupon...I love fekkai so I won't have any problems using the coupon with one of their products in my cart.

The coupon is really great, as long as you want a full size of something, your box is pretty much free. Granted, you probably wouldn't want it if you didn't try it, but isn't that what subs are for?

wow!!
