ia, I guess I will try tomorrow from work lol.

Ohhh I'm sorry guys for the wrong info /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It worked for me thought but I've never ordered anything from them so that might be it. 

Sorry again, but if youre makin ur first orded I'm sure it will work as it worked for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyway I'm super excited for this month box. I'm still using last month's samples /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I was wondering if any of those products are gonna be full size. In march they signed all of them as deluxe sample but the eye cream was full size so I'm curious /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They shipped mine today, soooo excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just made my first order on BeautyBar.com using the codes BBAFF, BBTWITTER, and BBSOCIETYMAR and I still received $40 off. Thanks for the heads up!

Anyone else get a spammy email from "www.tractenbergandco.com"? I received this email in my blog email (not the one I sub to SS with):

Best,

No offense, it just kind of read as spam to me--unsolicited random email from a company I had to google? If they 'read my review' on Birchbox, they would have definitely known I'm already subbed to Sample Society because I reviewed them too. Looks like they just did a mass spam mail to anyone who reviews BB?

- - - -

Also.. good lord do my reviews sound that negative?? I posted a link to my review on some fb page for birchbox reviews, and some snarky troll told me she felt sorry I was so miserable lol.

"I just read your blog, and I feel so sorry for you. You sound so unhappy and miserable. I did find it amusing that you thought the Essie As Gold As It Gets was a good dupe for the Deborah Lippman you say you like so much, and yet you say you have no use for the Essie. Perhaps sample services arent your cup of tea?"
Is it weird to have no use for a polish when you already have a better dupe of it, or am I just crazy and miserable? Honestly, I don't see who would care enough to write rude things on a post for a fb page dedicated to birchbox reviews, from a teeny tiny personal blog.. but hey, there are just some weirdos out there I guess.

Someone posted something similar to one of my posts back in February or March, can't recall which month or for which box (I think it was for The Look Bag). I'm sorry if the person is upset with my post but my posts are about me personal experience and thoughts. I think the person who posted that to you seems to be under the impression that bloggers should always be positive and personally I think bloggers should be honest.

 

[ladygrey]

Geez, what a jerk! It almost sounds like they took it personally lol. I prefer an honest blogger, and I like your blog a lot! I don't think it's morose or miserable.

FACT: People on the internet are buttheads.

wtf? Someone sounds miserable and unhappy, and it sure ain't you. LoL.

I got the same one. I looked up the company that they listed and they are legit. But when I emailed back saying Ive been on the waitlist for Sample Society and have wanted to try it he replied back saying unfortunately they dont have boxes to send out, but if I wrote a review based on the press release he'd send goodies from other brands they represent. I politely emailed him back saying I dont feel comfortable reviewing a product Ive never tried. 

 

[TracyDobbins]

Oh my goodness! Stacking codes is awesome! I just order a beauty blender, butter London polish, fekkai hair mask, some stila cosmetics, got the 3 samples for $10.60! Shut the front door! I'm so excited! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I feel kind of guilty, but I just did that as well. I ordered 2 Lavanilla lip glosses, Fekkai advanced clear rinse, Fekkai Advanced shea hair mask [the deluxe sample sized], Bliss high intensity hand cream [the smaller one], and then the 3 samples. My order came out to about $11.

I probably won't order again with the coupons like that, because I do feel like I abused the system by actually placing the order.

They only let me place orders that were exactly of the samples and not any from the brand. =/

 

[krod1229]

I'm starting to be a little torn on this one.  The samples are very generous and from high end brands, but neither March or April's box has a "wow" item for me.  The $15 promo code is really my reason for staying.

Hoping next month they advance beyond skin/haircare or I might be done.  :-( 

 

[GinaM]

Just stacked the 3 codes and got my Baume de Rose for $18!!!!!!!!!!  Hell yes!!!!!

Man not again! Something strange is going on with my box! It says that my box is being delivered today...in New Jersey! Uh oh...that is definitely not where I am haha. Does anyone else's say this?

 

[Becca8093]

Mine says the same thing. I'm assuming it will deliver around the end of the week to my address in Missouri. Mine said something similar last month and made it here with no problem.

[lloronita]

My tracking also says

Location Date Local Time Activity Saddle Brook, NJ, United States 04/03/2012 4:00 A.M. Out For Delivery   04/03/2012 4:00 A.M. An exception in the sorting process has occurred.  UPS has taken corrective action. ...and I live in New Mexico.  So no telling when I will actually get it.

 

[yanelib27]

yep, same thing happened to me. I emailed them about it.
