Oh my....I love that the coupon ended up as 50% off plus ebates - at that price the holiday box will make a BRILLIANT gift...doing it now!

I'm sitting on my thumbs trying to avoid this LE box. I broke up with GlossyBox, but I'm always a sucker for a good deal. What's totally irrational is the fact that I don't love a single thing in the box. I just want the good deal! Hoarder issues.

I was doing well at avoiding this one when it was $40.  (I do love red nailpolish and lipstick, but have a lot of both.)  But at $20, I couldn't help myself.  I just put the box in my cart and put the code in to see (before I realized it was a 50% code) and I was like, I have to get this after I saw what a good deal it was.  (Otherwise I've been pretty good today.  Got 3 Zoya polishes for $20 and got the Coastal Scents Revealed and Revealed 2 palettes for $10 each + shipping.  And the GB holiday LE.  But I need to stay off the computer tomorrow...)

 
Ok this is the day I have been waiting for.  Now the 6 months at Rulala is $89.  But in about a half an hour ebates is giving double cashback.  So the 20% off at GB themselves  leaves the cost at $92.  Double cashback would be $5.50 and the final price would be $86.5.

So, this leaves two similar options. 

 
@@dancersmum I can't pull the trigger with only 20% off a yearly...that makes the box $16.80. The LaLaRue deal makes them $14.41. I'm spoiled with my $12 boxes. 

@ I wasn't going to get this LE box but for $17.25 ...now I want it. Hoarder issues, check.

 
The Rue La La special is allowing me to wait for the December box.  Do you have to get the November box with the 20%?  That may be something to consider.

I am bummed about the discounted holiday box.  I paid $40.

Thank you, went with the Rulala just now.  Didn't want the Nov box.

Sorry about the holiday box, that bites...

Double cash back at midnight from ebates MIGHT make me pull the trigger.  Especially since Ulta has me in a time-out!!  C'mon -- I have $138 worth of credit at Ulta!!  LET ME SHOP!!

Just  got a box of 3 minis of the Le Couvent Des Minimes hand creams from the Dermstore recently.  The Honey & Shea Nourishing Hand Cream is the best hand cream I have ever tried.  It is on sale now at Ulta for $11.25 for the large tube.

Loccitane hand creams are trash compared to this.  Just tried them and am clueless as to all the rage over these.

I went on Le Couvent overload when I worked at BBW.  I still have something like 4 of their holiday candles in the orange scent.  I think the texture of the Le Couvent hand creams is what I didn't like.  L'Occitane's Zesty Lime makes my world go 'round at the moment.  I have a few LCdM hand creams in my Ulta cart --- if I'm ever allowed to access my points!  I'll definitely give them another try!

All the LCD hand creams have a different texture.  The honey one made my 51 year old hands look young again when worn over night without washing.  I wash my hands at least 20 times a day minimum since I work in the medical profession.  

Anyways, perhaps the L'occitanes creams are all different also.  I just tried the cherry blossom and it made my hands look older.  Perhaps I will give the lime a spin some day after my massive holiday stash is exhausted.

Awesome to know!!  I remember thinking the honey was sticky (mind over matter?), but it has been awhile.

I'm a crazy hand washer in general (teaching, sick mom, 4 dogs, etc.), so I have hand cream EVERYWHERE!  And multiples in some spots, lol.  I'm trying to remember to use one with SPF when I'm going to be outside.  My hands have aged quite a bit lately after years of lifeguarding in my youth, tending bar in direct sunlight on a party deck and just being outside in general.  

I have thyroid problems (mostly controlled w/ meds), but one of the first things I notice when my dose is off is the fact that my hands and feet get bone dry.  (My brows and lashes also fall out, but that's not what I notice first -- just my skin.)

Sorry Glossyboxers -- way OT here!

 
not sure if I am reading this right but I think I can wait until Feb to use ruelala for 6 months as I have Dec & jan boxes coming via points.   

Anyone think differently? still thinking about it...I know I paid less last year!  And I pulled the trigger on a 6 month sub on popsugar so maybe I should hold off.

I'm worried that I got an email from Glossybox this morning that says the THANKS promo code is for 20% off. I don't think they realize it's taking $20 off. I hope they don't hold my box hostage for the difference. The $20 is a great deal if you're getting one box, but not so great if you're looking for a year long subscription.

Oh, and I went through ebates too, but I don't think it works if we already have a Glossybox subscription. There's nothing showing in my pending cash back for ebates.

I just tried using the THANKS code again. They fixed the issue, it's only taking 20% off now.

I was kind of wondering if the $20 off was only good for yesterday, and now the code is for 20%?

I just went into my account and it's still showing I only got charged $20 for the holiday box.

 
Maybe, but I used the code because I'd read on some blogs that is was for 20%, that's why I was pleasantly surprised that it deducted $20. But it could have been for $20 on Thanksgiving and 20% after. I don't know, I'll just consider myself lucky that I got it for $20. Of course, not that I actually need more products....
