Did anyone else get extra samples with their order? I received 3 samples in one plastic bag (moisturizer, conditioner, and perfume – no foils) and a separate bag with 4 different teabags in it. I ordered the regular “pick two” that you get with a $35 purchase and my order was under $50 before the 40 percent off. Not that I’m complaining!

I got one bag with three different teas and ANOTHER bag with 7 different teas from a different brand! AND a bag with my two samples for the free gift with purchase thing and they were a big size face mask and like 2 oz of conditioner! pretty amazing for my $6 order lol. ($55 or something but I used the code and points!)

Can you only use this code one time? I did one order and later would like to order one more time but it doesn’t let me apply code…

Marissa
It’s letting me use the code again

Same here. I would have waited but I wanted to get something before it sold out. Boo!

I know it wasn’t letting me use it again but I have multiple accounts so I just used it on my other one. But your suppose to be able to use it over and over again according to BB. Maybe it was a glitch so I would try again.
This is what the fine print says:

I bought the curling iron, beauty protector dry shampoo, and Jouer creme eyeshadow! Came out to $101, and I paid only $1.17!!
I have even more points on my main account, but I think Ima keep saving on that one.

I caved and ordered too! Got an Illume ceramic candle and 2 of the Caudalie sets (both of those items are HG for me). Such a steal! And I was trying to save my points for the Vanity Affair box, lol, guess not!

Well… Glad I’m not an “Ace” I would have made a mess of my checking acct with 40% off. A blessing in disguise. Enjoy your great buys ladies.

I went nuts and then sanity set in and I only ordered two of the Baxter’s deodorants. They are my hubbie’s favorite. Total was $3.xx with discount and points

I just bought an $80 Gorjana necklace but only spent $28 using the ACE sale and points! Super excited. I’ve been eyeing that necklace for awhile.

I got the Echo Design Lux Pointelle Colorblock Muffler scarf, which is like $74, for only $24 using this sale and 200 BB points. Yay! It looks lovely and huge and classic and soft. We have a lot more winter still to come here, so I’m pretty happy about this. I also remembered to add a Mystery Sample pack. Thanks for the heads up, great sale!

So like all of the Illume candles are out of stock now lol. So I guess its good I bought a ton before this sale! I did however just pick up two candles in random scents, my boyfriend’s Krochet Kids beanie he has been eyeing, and a sample pack for $6 with the points I got from errors with my last order! WOO!

Did you see anything that’s a real must-have item Liz? I’ve gone through the items and I’m not familiar with most of it. I’d like to get some illume candles but not sure which scent to try. Also would love to stock up on some gufts for friends!

I have tried almost every Illume scent there is and I really mean it when I say that they are all perfect. They are almost all sold out right now so get what you can while you can. The noble current is still in stock and it’s lovely.

Thanks so much! I was able to get the ceramic Noble Currant candle. Looove trying new scents!

Here is what is in my cart right now: Caudalie Winter Duo, 100 Percent Pure Mascara, Harney & Sons Fine Teas Organic Bangkok, Caldrea Little Luxuries Set, EVOLVh Ultimate Styling Lotion, 21 drops Aromatherapy Blends …. plus I want to add candles, and some of the clothing/accessories too! 🙂 I think Illume scents are usually wonderful if that helps!

Thanks so much for the tip. Ended up getting the Amika curling wand, Prorasa pre-shave lotion for boyfriend, and one Illume candle in Noble Currant. Love having this site to help me find deals! 🙂
Marissa
HURRY WITH THE CANDLES. Most are sold out other than some Noble current and woodfire!
Barbie
Awesome sale! I wanted everything. I only picked up the Amika Curling Wand and some mint verbena tea. I had to hold back! With points I paid $15.00 : P

Never fear! it happens quicker than you think! took me like 5 months and they do this sale like twice a year-ish. How far are you?

I’m at around 200 points right now 🙂

Just got a ton of stuff from the Birchbox Aces Winter Clearance sale, Yeah! Surprisingly I ended up getting some great candles, room sprays & cool socks, not so much cosmetics, etc. If your wondering if you should do the shop I highly advise it, they have almost 550 items at 40% off! Can’t beat it!! PS.. Men & Women items, seemed like alot of hair care products. THANKS for the heads up Liz!!

Thanks for posting this–I didn’t get an e-mail about it, even though I’m an Ace (maybe later today?). By using the code plus my 300 points, I got $75 worth of items for $15! Plus the mystery sample pack. Got a Caudalie Winter duo (love their hand cream), a Mirenesse concealer palette (trying it out), and a Nelson J healing mask (which I love).

Marissa
SERIOUSLY? I just got like 75$ of stuff and used 500 points and all of it is in this shop for 40% off 🙁 And the stuff shipped yesterday so I cant cancel and reorder! ugh…well…maybe ONE MORE CANDLE….
This is dangerous…

No worries, if you email them, they will honor the 40% off and refund your difference in points!

GREAT advice! Just emailed about the order so hopefully they respond. Realized I would have saved about 100 points by waiting and thats just not fair!

I grabbed an Illume Candle in Gilded Amberleaf (I fell in love with the scent after getting it in the PopSugar Must Have Holiday Box), the Bella J Charm Candle in Snowberry, and the English Laundry No. 7 perfume! I couldn’t pass up the pricing..it was about $123 worth of stuff and I only had to pay $53 because I had $20 worth of points saved up as well.

I added a ton of the items to my cart and then sanity kicked in and I deleted everything except the dry shampoo 3-pack.

I’m relieved to see that nothing I bought yesterday is marked down today. This is making me consider the quirky pivot power strip though..

I browsed through quickly. I may pick up socks and shirts for my older son whose birthday is coming up. He loves their clothes.

What was I thinking of by waiting. I couldn’t order at that moment and then forgot about the sale. No candles, socks, or chocolates for me 🙁 I did order the black t-shirt for my older son which he will love.
