I barely just subscribed to this, my first box ships 5/1. Is there any way to know what we are to expect? Clues or anything? LOL guess I'm just impatient..

Glad the peeling went away. It just seemed to be an odd reaction for a "moisture" treatment type of product. The smell is soooo stinky. I' hold my breath when applying and then sniff something pleasant (like the cookie scented candle next to the sink) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think the product is dud for me. I haven't felt any more moisturized than normal and I've been using it for over 2 weeks. :/ I like your scented candle idea! lol

I agree that I"m not seeing noticeable difference in my skin. It feels nice going on, but my skin doesn't seem more moisturized than normal.  Perhaps this would be good for the dryer winter months. Or maybe its because I have oily skin

Anyone notice the garlic-y smell to the DDF product? I notice it on my hands, otherwise I've enjoyed it and had no reaction. Not really enjoying the rose cream, as it reminds me of my grandma! I've enjoyed my April box with them. Does anyone know if they're going to send out customized boxes or just one type fits all? Seems like everyone is getting the same stuff.

I was totally thinking the same thing. Besides the Niacin smell, it totally smells like garlic. I have to wash my hands after I apply it as it's so stinky.

I am in love with the Murad primer. I have been using it for almost 2 weeks now and my face is no longer shiny by lunchtime (!). I will be purchasing this, it is not harsh on my skin like I thought it was going to be. Perhaps in the winter I wont be able to use it, but so far I am having no dryness issues at all. Very happy they included this item in this month's boxes!

Anyone tried to purchase items recently using promo codes? The ones I know of that still work at present are BBSOCIETYMAR and BBSOCIETYAPR. Any other suggestions - ideally stackable ones! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks

Me too! It's the best primer I've ever tried! I can't wait to finally use my code on something lol And I find that it does a great job of minimizing the appearance of my pores *yay*

So listen to this!! I went to go sign up...get all the way to the submit page (entered my cc info and everything) then at the top it says "due to increased volume we are not taking subscriptions at this time" So i was bummed! I left the page up and about 15 minutes later i go back to it out of bordem and just clicked submit like 5 times AND IT WENT THROUGH! LOL what the world???

I had a similar experience.  I just happened to check one day and saw that subscriptions were open again, so I decided to go for it.  I got all the way to entering my CC info, clicked submit, and got the no-more-signups message.  Okay, fine, put me back on the waiting list, even though I was already on there but did not receive any notice that subs were open.  But then!  They tried to charge my debit card, which would have been fine, except it was my PayPal debit card, and I had used the money I had been planning on using for Sample Society for something else since the sub didn't go through, so the CC transaction was declined.  The customer service rep I talked to said that they just run cards to verify that they're valid, but my signup didn't go through (she didn't check my account, so I thought this must have been something they had received a lot of calls about, and this was what was already determined was the case for everyone else in that same situation).  

Then they tried to run it again, so I changed my card on my account just in case they were trying to run it to actually ship me something next month -- and then I noticed that my dashboard indicated that they were sending me something that week (maybe even that day), so I called CS again, and it turned out that my subscription had actually gone through even though I got the sorry-we're-all-full notice.  My box arrived about a week after he said it would, but no big deal since those things happen.  I'm a Birchbox Streamlite veteran.  As long as it shows up eventually and in one piece, I'm happy, although it would have been nice if it had been sent via USPS in a box that would fit in my mailbox (it arrived on a very rainy Portland day, and there's not really any place for UPS to leave packages protected from the elements at my apartment).

Side note, on the magazine subscription:  I know I opted in for it, but the second CS rep noticed that my account said I had opted out.  He fixed that for me, although I'm still waiting for the first issue (magazines usually seem to take a month or two for the first issue to arrive, though, so I'm holding off on inquiring on the status until the summer because it seems like that should be plenty of time for it to start up).

I recieved my Allure also.

 

[zadidoll]

I got my magazine yesterday.

 

[Janamaste]

Too funny - I just got my first Allure too!

I got my magazine yesterday.  I guess I never buy magazines anymore but was surprised at how many samples they had in it.
