That is nuts.

I had already cancelled when I got the email. I only subscribed in December because I had a coupon that made it 15.00. I decided to give it another month in January. Was disappointed to get the cleanser twice. I also had to give away the lipstick the color was not good for me. 10 off 50 was like another insult. I am doing the 100 no buy challenge so I can't use the coupon. I could if it had been a 10.00 gift certificate. That would be better. Anyone who is using it remember to add things to your favorites list first so you can get 10% off. I also didn't like the way they made it sound like it was a mistake in some bags, when it was the featured item in every bag.

(crosspost) Is anyone purchasing the Mystery Grab bags from Dermstore?

http://www.dermstore...2613&source=cj#

There is a sub to People mag valued at $30 that can be requested to be refunded, making them almost free if the rebate works...

*also $10 off $50 pops up for new email addresses and 5% back ebates.

I bought eye bag and I am so disappointed. Most of products are for face (cleanser,sunscreen,retinol complex ,skin brightening complex from Skinmedica ) 3 other samples for face. 4 products for eyes. 2 samples and 2 full size. I wouldn't spend $48 if I knew what's in there. I was expecting products for eyes, not for face.

 

[aniadania]

I would post photo but don't know how.

 

[aniadania]

Ok here is the photo.

 

[SaraP]

@@aniadania don't forget you can get a refund for the people mag sub, $30 back I think.

 

[Saffyra]

Ok here is the photo.

Oh wow!  I love SkinMedica, they tend to have excellent ingredients.  And that SmartEye is amazing!  It actually does work to get rid of wrinkles around the eye area for a time.  I have it and love it!

That is so tempting.  Especially with the $30 back for the people magazine...

No, the skinmedica pack is not full size, it's travel size. Dermstore was giving it away as a free gift a while back. I'd value it at about $50.

 

[SaraP]

Ahhhh sad!

*@@raindrop Do you know the sizes??

 

[raindrop]

Ahhhh sad!

*@@raindrop Do you know the sizes??

I know, so sad! They are pretty small, I think the cleanser and SPF are 1 oz, and the serums are .25 oz or so.
I think this bag is ok, I looooove the smart eye stuff, it works like magic on my under eye wrinkles (which I super hate). I don't love the inclusion of all the tiny not-for-resale samples like the itty bitty face serum. It's not even resealable.

All in all, I like this bag way more than the Time Traveler bag - I may return that one. That bag has all it's value in one $69 face cream that I'm not even that stoked about. We'll see...

 

[Saffyra]

I think I might have to get it... all that skin medical and the smart eye.... it's weird they call it an eye bag with all the not-eye stuff in it. I mean I'm not complaining but it seems like more people would buy it if it was called something different.

 

[aniadania]

What was in Time Traveler bag?

 

[Weebs]

I bought the hair bag - but was saddened to see more Klorane repeats (I wish I could have received the conditioner that goes with this darn shampoo!) - but overall, I'm fairly happy with my purchase of this bag.
