Sample society codes won't work unless you have a brand from the box in the order.

I used to love these in the 80's. Beauty Boutique, Spencer's, and the Ambassador catalog all had mystery boxes and they were great fun. This won't have 15 or so pieces like the ones from my misspent youth, but it won't be filled with cheap plastic tools mixed in with toiletries either. I'm supposed to get it tomorrow so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some good bonbons!

What? When? Where? I never got this!

Ok nevermind I see the link someone posted. Thanks!

 

[MissLindaJean]

Ack..the $30 box is already sold out..so i got the $20 one..boo! lol

 

[MissLindaJean]

O I did have a brand from the month's box, and it's not working..doesn't want me to stack codes, so I'm just going to call CS and try to sweet talk or plead lol..we shall see what happens. anyways the BSUNSHINE is good for an $80 or more purchase

Waaah they are sold out right now of the $30 and I'm trying for the $20 box but the site is so slow it doesn't load /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

call and order if need be. I just got off the phone with CS and after using BSUNSHINE, i wasn't able to stack my monthly code, but the CS lady Marion? was nice and credited it to my account...for of course, a future order!

Oh well I think I changed my mind on getting  the $20 mystery box. I have no codes that will work and I'm afraid of what I'll get for $20 when I'm spending too much on subs as it is. There are too many products I know I want, that I don't want to risk on the unknown.

I'm debating on keeping Sample Society or not. This last box was a flop for me :/

I don't think it'll be that--the email mentioned Lorac, I think, and to my knowledge no one received that in a sample box. The fine print said something about getting four out of the six listed brands; if they send four samples at $30 per box, that would be lousy marketing and I'd be mighty miffed!

Ohhhhh I just HATE myself now...of course I have to see this AFTER paying for the order...!

That's too bad; but even if you cancel, you can always try to swap for something if you see that you like it. I was happy because I decided not to make any purchases on BB and start hoarding my points. So my shopping list was switched over to BeautyBar and I was able to purchase everything I was eyeballing, plus try a mystery box. So, I think I'm done with purchases for a minute, and just enjoy what's coming in the mail.

BSUNSHINE code is $20 off but you have to spend $80.

Yeah I could probably always swap or just rejoin if it starts looking great again! I still have a subscription to a 2nd BB box and was thinking maybe my luck will be better with that second account. So far that account proved better than my main account, but we'll see. Decisions, decisions...

I posted that one and it works, that's why i said to contact CS. I wasn't able to stack my BBSOCIETY whatever month coupon and still placed my order from originally $81 down to $67 and change(taxes). Well CS credited my account! No problems, no questions asked. The oh so nice CS person tried to redo/update my order and ended up just crediting me, because it was easier. lol and I'm definitely on a no buy starting right now. I went back and checked and the credit was already up, so i made another purchase...lordy. I'm done and someone hide my cards and bank info from me!

Oh yeah I know they CS is great at Beauty Bar! I didn't have a problem with getting that code to work, but I just don't want to spend that much money at this time. 

I was hoping to bring the cost down of the mystery box alone but there isn't any codes for that small of a purchase. Oh well

They are both sold out. On the email in the fine print it reads that it applies to items sold in the skin and body sun care categories of beauty bar. Does that mean no makeup?  I think people are going to be really pissed if its skincare & spf. Let us know what you get, I'm very curious

I sort of figured it wouldn't be makeup, MAYBE a primer or something, but in general, NOT makeup. Seems like most "mystery boxes" are just a way of clearing inventory, so....I'm totally ok with not getting this /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree boo!! But it's not like I need more of this stuff- i am an addict and need a 12-step program for these beauty subs

I got the email too, and I was really tempted. Thankfully, I gained a little perspective and deleted the email. I have way too many samples, and even full-size beauty products. Plus, in the month of May I spend almost $56 on beauty subs. I just don't have that type of expendable income, and I need to accept it 

Cancelled Sample Society for June and I will probably cancel Glossybox after this month if I'm not totally wowed. It's just too expensive.

 

[MissLindaJean]

I got a box and quite a few other things, but I'm done shopping for a while. Need to save more money for necessary purchases, not complete splurges. But of course, I say that now after just having spent alot of $$ and making a dent in my wallet. I do like Sample Society, but may cut it if Glossybox lives up to my expectations. Already about to cut Julep...
