And the boxer (haha) perfume smells terrible. Ugh.

I think I'm in love with BeautyBar. Used both promo codes for $30 off of my purchase of Dermalogica + Philosophy's Pure Grace rollerball. Both Dermalogica & Philosophy had gifts with purchase (I won't be getting the multivitamin hand&nail treatment anymore but an after sun repair, I'm assuming they ran out of the hand&nail treatment) and the Philosophy gift w/ purchase is a 4 piece gift (!!!).. along with the three samples that I picked out.  My total = $33! It's too bad that NYC has tax (it's about $5 for my purchase, so without tax my total would've been $28)..

They split my shipment into two, so I'm apparently receiving one package today and one tomorrow (I ordered at like 9pm last night!).  *Crossing fingers* I hope their Sample Society boxes continue to amaze me.

I'm the same way! I ALWAYS want to buy perfume!! you should wait and try it at macy's or sephora (i'm sure they have it?). The coupons will still be up for awhile!

bites back the urge to buy a $60 perfume for $30***

I sincerely hope nobody has tried that perfume, and if they have, I hope it smells horrible (please someone tell me its terrible)!!!!

 Loving SS so far!!  Does anyone know how long the BBGIFT code is going to last?

 

[yanelib27]

no idea but you have to have at least 50.00 in your cart in order to use both codes.

You have to have 50 in order to use the SS one anyway, so might as well use both!

BeautyBar just keeps getting better and better for me- With my order they sent a $15 off a $75 purchase coupon code. Can't wait to combine that puppy with my SS credit ;p

 

[VegasLover75]

It is awful, in my opinion anyway.  I tried it & it gave me a headache.  You are not missing out!

Awesome! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I can see SS giving Birchbox serious competition as my # 1 subscription.

I think I am going to order the Dermalogica Microfliant .. My skin looks great but that could be the other 100 products I am using on it. LOL How long is the code good for ? I don't need it right away since I have the sample for Birchbox as well.

 

[Playedinloops]

my beauty bar order arrived today. Legitimately ONE day after ordering and shipping was free. I really like this company. The perfume sample I ordered is quite nice too, very light and fresh. 

 

[javagirl87]

This is kind of sad...I got both my SS box and the order I placed with them 2 days ago at the same exact time (today).

 

[javagirl87]

Also, one of the products I bought was listed as 2 oz ($9 curl cream) and it ended up only being 1.6oz...the same as the sample of the glossing cream we got...

I'm pretty sure the March code is good until May 12th, but you might want to double check my info. Just in case /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I ordered the Dermalogica and only paid $20 for my entire order (other $10 goody included) after also using the gift (?) code for an additional $15 off. Good deal, but I don't know how long that one with work

 

[javagirl87]

How do you guys mix the dermalogica with water and how much? I've never used a powder product like this before...

 

[yanelib27]

It says to make a think paste so I use maybe 1/3 amount of water and 2/3rds powder. I make enough to fit in my palm so that not too much product gets used every time. I like it alright. I purchased the Origins Checks and Balances from Birchbox, so Im trying that one tonight.

LOVE Checks & Balances- I got a free full size from Origins last Earth Day, have used it every day since then, and have only used about 1/4 of the tube /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay! I got my box today! I'm excited. =] 

My dermologica thankfully arrived in alright condition. The box was not damaged at all, and even though it was tricky to open, I figured it out. You just open the two side flaps and then slide out the box inside. That way it doesn't get damaged in the process. The glue they use on the flaps is pretty crazy though. 

I tried on the perfume, and it smells super powdery. It's not a bad smell, but it has that baby powder kinda scent to it along with the florals. Almost like loves baby soft.

I just placed an order on Beautybar for the Dermalogica Microfoliant and after my $15 off coupon that came in my box and the $15 giftbb code and my $5 refund for the damaged sample, I paid a grand total of $5 for the Microfoliant!  That is AWESOME!  The Microfoliant was $40 so I did have to add another $10 to my order for the codes to work, so I ordered Boscia blotting papers because I go through them so fast and I got a bonus sample of those too!  I think I'm in love with Beautybar/Sample Society.
