Got mine!
The Ciate nail polish was “cupcake queen” — bright, bright pink. (I can do bright pink. I’m glad it’s not a pastel. Although I probably have at least 2 Juleps that are close to this.)

I am glad it was not just red being shipped. I have more reds then I know what to do with. I can’t wait till mine arrives. =)

I am pretty sure mine is arriving tomorrow via UPS. I did not get a tracking e-mail, but signed up for UPS My Choice and I am getting something from “Axiz Group” tomorrow. Lurking on MUT, it seems that others who were able to get bags also have shipments coming from this sender tomorrow.

Same here. I ordered the hautelook beauty bag and I have a package coming from Axiz Group too. Mine is arriving 7/29 (I’m on the west coast) Can’t wait to check out all the goodies!

I will be swapping the fragrances and everything with parabens (Purity, molton brown, etc, can’t use them) so anyone who missed out and wanted specifics should check the swaps when the bags start shipping (Aug). I’m sure lots of items will be up for grabs.

Very frustrating; tried but couldn’t get one.

Those of us that didn’t get a box, let’s be grateful. The size of the samples are so small! There were NO full size samples. Yes, the items were expensive but, they won’t last for long. That’s why several people bought multiple boxes and they would’ve saved money by buying what they liked in a full size.

Huh? The bag has a product value of $180. It’s definitely a good value for anyone who will use the products.

It’s an opinion, it’s not worth $180 – or it isn’t to me. The “more expensive – luxury items” are really small in quantity. They didn’t offer a full size exclusive product, only large sized samples. And, just because they advertise it as one hundred and eighty dollars, doesn’t mean that it is worth that much. Again, not trying to start a debate, only justifying why I don’t regret making the purchase.

HauteLook definitely needs to work on keeping their site stable when there is a lot of traffic. It crashed not too long ago when they have a big sale on Toms. Such a pain.

Got mine and can’t wait to get it! On at 11:00 and just refreshed a few times and ordered! So glad I got seeing some of the stories. : (. Feel bad for the ones who didn’t get. They really should let you know when there are limited amounts.

Does anybody know if it will be this difficult to get the Allure box when it goes on sale? I didn’t realize all the trouble people were having getting one!

I was pretty bummed that I couldn’t get in on this. I spent about 2 hours constantly refreshing on two devices (the app and on my laptop) but no luck, now the sale is going from hautelook altogether. There was one brief shining moment when the bag went off hold on the app but when I tried to add it to my cart (repeatedly) it gave me an error and then came back as on hold. I do think that if the quantities were so limited that they could sell out in 10 minutes, it would have been more fair to limit people to one bag per order, as other people have mentioned.

From what I can tell there were many of us who never got the chance to even add it to our bag. And many of us patiently waited until 11am est to try. Congrats to the lucky ones. I have always been able to get through until today. Very disappointing to say the least.

I’m sad and frustrated 2.5 hours of trying and no success. I tried in 3 devices, safari, Firefox and their app. For over an hour it didn’t even give me a option to add it to my cart. I called CS and they said their site had been crashing because of the sale. This is frustrating. When it finally worked it said it was on hold. I finally was able to add it to my cart and when I went to check out it said error. They really needed to fix the issues sooner. That was 3hrs wasted. Hopefully they have this bag for sale again like they did the last time. They should of had a limit to how many a individual can purchase… People buying multiples while some of us couldn’t get one 🙁

I got on through the iphone app at 8:02 and didn’t have any issues at all getting the bag or checking out. I’m so excited to get this bag!

Same here, I had downloaded the app early this morning and at 11:03 EST, I was on the app, added it to my cart and checked out no problem. I am glad I was out and about because it sounds like I wouldn’t have been able to get it at home on my desktop. I read somewhere that they sold out of 4000 units within 30 minutes. I wonder if it will be a similar situation for the Allure beauty bag? There is no app for that, though…

Anyone notice it’s still saying on hold on the app? grr this is so frustrating!

I’m so bummed! I didn’t get to it on time even though I was ready at 11. I think that there should be a one bag limit, these are so popular and it’s not fare for people to buy three bags + at a time and let others miss out. 🙁

Allure allowed 2 per customer and I thought that was too much. I had no idea that you could buy 3+ of this one. They really need to limit to 1.

i agree, it should have been one per person for sure

After spending about an hour refreshing the screen, I finally got one in my cart!!!! So keep trying.

I was able to place an order. Thank you for the info about refreshing the page. It said “On hold” and then I was able to get one.
I just checked again and it says “On Hold” So there must be some still available.

I think I’m glad that this sold out (11:50 on both website and my app). I’m getting overloaded with the same stuff over and over from too many boxes. I think the Nina Garcia box may have been the last straw: I paid more for it because I thought that would be something more special. And it wasn’t. So I will be streamlining!!

I phoned CS and was told that they sold out of the bags by 11:10 PST. Oh well, I’m sure I have enough beauty products to last me a decade or so anyway. Lol

I kept trying and was just able to get one at 9:13 a.m. Pacific. I had just about given up and then I thought I’d give it one more shot. I deleted my cookies as suggested and just kept hitting add to cart over & over again until finally it went into my cart. Maybe a glitch but the order went through and they e-mailed me an order confirmation. Maybe try again.

I’m sooo disappointed. Just spent my lunch hour at work trying to buy. I logged on at exactly 11am and could never get the actual “add to cart” button. Spent 20 minutes in the live chat just to be told that it’s sold out. Sorry. SO mad.

I chatted with someone at Hautelook and she said the bag sold out in 10 minutes. I asked how many they had but she didn’t answer, just that they would have more next time. Sooooo disappointing. I hate having to rush within 5 minutes or have a secret way figured out, it seems to happen more and more.
