So upset with bareminerals!
I ordered this bundle in JULY
I was missing an item and one item was damaged beyond repair! I have been trying to contact CS for almost 3 week but, never get a real response!!!! I love there product but I can not order from a company with such terrible customer service!!!?
ReplyJulie B
Keep trying. I had a problem and could not get a response via email so I called and got a useless rep after a looong wait on the phone. So i kept trying and finally got a good rep by email, but when I replied to her, she didnt respond! It was strange, A reputable company with such poor cs. I kept copy and pasting my previous emails into a new one, and finally it was resolved in about three weeks.
ReplySabrina
Oh my goodness I have the same exact issue and it has been about three weeks! I keep copying and pasting and replying! I got ONE response so I replied to that response but then no one got back to me so I am back to copy and pasting! Ughh so frustrating!!!

I was disappointed with my box. I received exactly the same items others did. This is my second box; February was the first one. I received two identical items: the foundation primer and the espresso eye liner.
I also hot three almost identical brushes. Also, I did not appreciate that the mascara was a sample and not a full size. I didn’t read anyone else’s comments about this.
I sent an email you customer services to see if there is anything that can be done. Has anyone had experience with reaching out to the customer service about the mystery boxes?
ReplyMattie
I was disappointed as well. This was my first mystery box with them and I can’t see doing it again. I expected better. Even the brushes were like travel sized and the Pink handled brush that I was excited to get from the free gift was even smaller than those. Thankfully I used all those promo codes or else I’d really be kicking myself. I guess maybe I’m spoiled with all the great deals that MSA finds for us!
I need some more PSMH mystery boxes! Should’ve bought more of those instead of scattering my chips out across the table. lol
ReplyJulie B
Yes you’re right. In the past they have sent full size mascara. And several times full size Moxie lip gloss too, rather than deluxe sample size. So that was disappointing. And it’s my 5th or 6th mystery box and Every Single Time there’s been two eyeliners, usually my least favorite big &bright. So I always just expect those. But it was still a good deal for the primer and face powder alone. So I will probably still buy these.
ReplyRebecca
Got.my box today. happy with everything BUT two of the brushes are exactly the same except for the color of the handle and all 3 brushes are pretty much the same. blush on one side, eye shadow on the other. from reading other comments I see the same brushes I got so it’s not just me.
ReplyJenn
Same here. I kept one of the angled and gave the other away. Everything else in the box was great!
ReplyKendra
Soooo many brushes!!!
ReplyRceli
Thanks for letting us know.
I tihnk Bare Minerals is probaby discontinuing thier double ended eye/blush brushes… alll of them. Oh well… I think they’ll probaby make good gifts.
ReplyJulie B
I thought the same thing. If they’re going to give us brushes, why three almost identical ones, when they have so many? But really happy with the pink face powder, it’s bigger than I thought. (Anyone else’s have fingerprints all over the compact, though?)
ReplyLuna
Mine did, but I just assumed it was from me! I didn’t pay attention until I had handled it a little trying to figure out which side to open it from. When I closed it after swatching it, I was thinking… wow, that’s a lot of finger prints, and they really show! At least there weren’t already any finger prints/markings from somebody else swatching the blush!
Rebecca
I wasn’t in time to get the pink powder brush…which is the one I really need. Oh well I love the other products for sure so I’ll put one in my travel bag and at my office for powder touch ups.

Does anyone know if the Chandlelight Glow Rekindled Bag will include the eyeshadows, blush, brush and lipstick? That’s what was in it a couple of years ago! I hope it’s included!
ReplyKate N.
No, it was just the bag….
ReplyMattie
The mystery bag itself was suppose to be 11 items but it looks like we are getting 12! I’m not including the various promo codes in the number. Just the basics that everyone is listing. It looks like the Skintorials product is the extra item as I have it also and didn’t use any codes for it.
(My extra gift promo item, a pink handled brush, is suppose to be shipped separately)

This is my box. I’m kinda sad that I didn’t get an eye color but this seems to be pretty good.

I think the eyeshadow were the free gift if you used the code. My order is exactly like yours and I didn’t use a free gift code.

Lol ok so I’m not the only one that immediately searched their website. I don’t see an eye color on mine either. My order looks exactly the same.

One of those is the free gift w purchase. I’m less excited about brushes but overall seems pretty great. This is my first mystery box.
ReplyRceli
I guess it looks like we’re getting the same thing, except for the Gift we get to choose.
LOL. I’m addicted to makeup brushes. I hate washing them all the time. If I can make it to the weekend w/o having to wash brushes in the middle of the week, I consider that a huge success. 🙂
Jenn
I received the same in my mystery box. It seems like most of the items were in previous mystery boxes but aren’t found when searing BM’s website.
ReplyRceli
Yeah.
I never ordered the mystery boxes before, but this time I needed concealer and with all the coupon codes everyone posted… I was just going to use them to get the concear at about 32% off… then at the last minute I added the mystery box.
Most of it is discontinued stuff… but I spent $58 after tax on 19items!!! $27 of that are my 2 concealers (BTW, which would have regularly been $40)!!! Still comes out to be AMAZING DEALS! Especially when you consider how may brushes you end up getting.
Jenn
searching, not searing. LOL!
Sarah
I didnt see the free gift on my shipping order, so i called customer service and she said that only 1 code can be used per order, and there was a glitch that allowed people to use multiple codes, but its been corrected, and those who used multiple codes for multiple free gifts will not receive the extras, even if it says it on their order. She swore up and down this was the case. Im anxious to see if this is true, because i have my doubts.
ReplyMel P
I used the 20% off plus 2 different coupon codes (1 for eye shadow and 1 for a brush) and they were listed on my invoice. I just received my box today and they were both in there, along with all the mystery gifts (nothing coming separately). So, if it was a glitch to let us use multiple codes—they still honored them! Hope you get your extras too!
ReplyDebra
I would be talking to a manager. I think that it is false advertisement for them to have it show up on your invoice and then you not receive it. It is not your fault that there was a computer glitch. I understand that there are sometimes issues that companies cannot avoid, however they should still uphold what their invoices are telling their customers they are getting.
ReplyMel P
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to ship these? I got a confirmation email on Wednesday, but when I check out my order online it still says “Not shipped”. I was just curious if they deliver 5-8 days after ordering…or if we need to wait until it is shipped before the countdown starts. Can you tell I’m anxiously awaiting my package?!
Replycarey
I havent received shipping confirmation. It still shows unshipped online. I’m not too pleased with the slooooow processing of this. Maybe I am just spoiled. lol
ReplyMel P
I have been checking everyday, including today, waiting for it to say shipped. I even called and was told “no it hasn’t shipped, usually takes 1-5 days to ship”. Then 30 minutes later I got the email confirmation that it had been shipped…hopefully you get yours later today also!
Kate N.
I received mine today! It’s fabulous!
ReplyMel P
Did you receive the actually products? Or the shipping notice? If you got yours delivered already–CONGRATs.
Can you tell me what BMReadyAOFC-ElationNoBoxw/SilverComp(G1)
is?
BONNY ADAMS
I just received my shipping info.
ReplyMattie
This is what I found on their website under their shipping policy link at the bottom of the page :
Standard Shipping
Processing Time
1-2 Business Days
Delivery Time
4-6 Business Days
Total Delivery Time
5-8 Business Days
I ordered Wednesday and mine hasn’t shipped yet. From what I’m told they use FedEx SmartPost so ofcourse that means it will end up being delivered by your USPS.
ReplyMel P
Mine was finally shipped today! It says its coming via FEDX Smartpost…
Can’t wait! The email also listed out all your contents..now I just have to figure out what the last item with the silver compact is? Anybody know?
christina
all gone 🙁
ReplyJulie B.
I called CS to ask if I could get both SUMMER and GIFT4U code gifts since they both showed applied until I got confirmation, when only one showed. She checked with supervisor and said only one gift applies per order. I would think this was very reasonable except other people on this site got both, so I feel like the policy shouldn’t change based on who you get on the phone. Also, I couldn’t use the new email subscriber code because it took several hours for it to appear. Oh well, nitpicking on a still great deal.
ReplyAmanda Larson
This site is addictive. I just ordered this box on top of several beauty box subscriptions & barely ever wear makeup!
ReplyAmanda
Man I am the same way. My make up game has totally gotten stronger since discovering this site! 😉
ReplyBrittany
I was only able to use the codes IPSY and 15% off, I did have SUMMER in my cart for a free product but it got booted when I placed the order and when I called customer service they were very pleasant but would NOT add the free item back to my order because I used the IPSY2016 code (specifically). Boo that’s my bad luck. Jealous of you ladies who had better luck with customer service. I still got the mystery box for $21 and change so I can’t complain too much.
Replyjen
I had the same luck as you maybe we got the same girl lol!
ReplyMegan
Are they always exactly the same products and colors? I snagged two, placed one order and then saw more coupon codes and went back for extra stuff! If I get a bunch of dupes I can gift them but I’d love it if they mix them up a bit.
ReplyLuna
I’m almost positive the boxes contain the same products. This will be my 3rd mystery box this year, and the first two were the same as those being reviewed, as well as the boxes received by those who commented on the products they received.
ReplyKatie
Between the coupon codes and the FOMO hitting hard, I just couldn’t resist. ??
ReplyLisa
Do the boxes generally vary? Btw, it wouldn’t let me stack summer and gift4u… Only one gift remained in the cart
ReplyChris
It wouldn’t let me use the !5% off. It kept saying that it was used to many times. Still a good deal.
ReplyChristine Martinez
I signed up for the site, and I never got the 15% off code. I called and she said it would not come for a couple days, and didn’t offer anything else 🙁 I did use the ipsy code, summer code, and another code they gave me to get a free mystery gift valued at $14. So I ended up paying about $25 plus tax. Still not bad considering what you get. I am getting too many boxes, but there have been so many good ones lately. I am waiting for my GlossyBox buy one get two free, and my PopSugar mystery box still to arrive. I really need to put a stop to this. I am getting overwhelmed! Oh well, I will make some cute Christmas gifts for people this year!
ReplyConstance
You gals are awesome! Thanks so much for all the codes! I loved my last box so I finally caved and ordered another one! Yay! So excited. Ty ty!
ReplyMattie
Thanks guys! Y’all rock!
I was able to add the 15% & 20% off codes to get my total with tax to $22.64. I added the Summer promo code as well but it didn’t show up in the email confirmation so I called and CS added it for me then added another deluxe sample to my order. I’m horrible with waiting for surprises so I asked her what my 11 items are and she told me so this is what I remember:
1 eyeliner in Charcoal
1 eyeliner in Brown
1 Gold Handle Blush brush
3 Eye brushes
Moxie Lip Gloss in Sparkplug (pink)
Primer (said it’s the color correcting one for redness that’s discontinued)
Lash Domination
Pop of Passion
Candlelight Glow (I think she said that was in a silver compact)
That was all I could scribble down quickly and I don’t know sizes if they vary. This will be my first order with them because I normally order from Sephora. Customer Service was EXCELLENT tho so I’m sure I’ll order again directly! So excited for all my goodies
Oh and PS – the CS lady said that since I called so quickly after my order that if I didn’t like the items she listed that I could cancel and she would skip to the next order to see if I like those items better
ReplyMarissa
Perfect! $25 for 4 nice brushes is great for me and so needed right now, everything else was pretty much a freebie in my eyes now!~
ReplyHeidi

2 of those are from an additional 2 peice mystery free gift though, my guess is 2 from the final 3 items bc looks like im getting the same brush 2x
Shipping slip 🙂
ReplyJulie B
Thanks for the list! Almost all are repeat items, which means I’ve purchased too many of these. However I’m happy to get new brushes and pop of passion. I thought we were getting the Chandlelight powder but I guess it’s the bag, hope it’s that pretty clutch from the Chandlelight Kit. Oh and those eye colors you’re getting are pretty!
Traci Rhein
I don’t see this stuff on my account page…maybe I need to be on a desktop? :/
Katie
Mine shows these same items. I’m bummed to get a cosmetic bag as one of the items, as I for sure don’t need that! Hoping those items that are still a mystery make up for it. ? Looks pretty good overall though. I would love to see some face products or eye shadows.
ReplyJoy
I’ve never used this line of product before but I’m excited to try them. What do you guys love about the products? What are your favorites?
ReplyJulie B
I love their original mineral veil, it feels luxurious. I love the Ready eye shadows (I wish they would include a palette more often in the mystery box!) and though I normally don’t like loose eye shadows, BM shadows always have beautiful colors and no fallout.
ReplyJoy
Thanks ladies! You’re the best!
Luna
I have oily skin, so their mineral face products (foundation, blemish therapy, concealer, & mineral veil) are the only products I use. They provide really even coverage (doesn’t get cakey), and my face doesn’t feel greasy or weighed down like it used to with liquid foundations & concealers).
ReplyBeka
I LOVE all of their eye shadows! They’re super pigmented and last for eons. I also am a huge fan of their pressed ready foundation! Really, any and all of their products are great if the color scheme matches your skin tone. You should be able to find a few new favorites amongst what they send 🙂
ReplyJoy
Thanks Beka! Excited to finally try them.

I ordered using summer and IPSY2016 and IPSY2016 did not register when my receipt came so I just emailed them to ask for help.
Thanks for telling me about the box.

If you missed out on your free gift, call CS and they’ll send you a free one! 🙂

It didn’t work for me no matter how nicely I asked 🙁 boo

Once I read this comment, I figured I’d give it a try and it worked! Nice of CS to do so! Thanks for posting 🙂
ReplyJulie B
I have a whole box full of unopened BM products from these surprise boxes, but you all talked me into it yet again. Wish they wouldn’t keep giving out brown eyeliners. The free Graphite eye color looks gorgeous! In a swatch I saw!
ReplyTrish
I used my Ipsy2016 code, then added the 15% new email code, and the SUMMER promo, plus I love their blemish therapy and it’s on clearance (paid $12.24) got 2 of the metal eyelash combs for $8.82, and I picked up a new shade of the 5-1 BB Cream Eyeshadow for only $12.92 (reg $19).
The box was $21.76 and I got 2 free mystery gifts and the velvet eyeshadow and everyone gets the skin care samples. Grand total…$55.76!! YES!
Thanks to whoever posted the SUMMER code-& to Liz for the timely alert!
