I just received mine today and got the items others posted on here. The bag was wonderful and high quality to me. I think the shades were all wonderful. The shadows were nude colors and the glosses were beautiful as well. Their brushes are not the best in my opinion but I am thrilled to have gotten a few to use with the products. Overall a great deal for people who do not already have a bunch of bare minerals basics.

Yea the deal is over but mystery bags get released fairly often. Maybe once every month or few months. Keep and eye out

I got mine today. The eyeshadow are great and I could always use a mineral veil. I’m usually a fan of their lip glosses but these smell old. I just threw out one out that was 2 years old that smelled like that. On ultras website they describe the moxie buttercream glosses to have a vanilla scent but I don’t smell it. Why are they sending out discontinued products (last box) and obviously old stock in this box? That’s not how you gain or keep customers.

I emailed customer service and they have ignored me. I cant wear these glosses and they were the items i was most excited to get. They smell old and rancid! im never buying another one of these boxes…I may not buy bare minerals again because of the poor customer service!

So glad to hear that you liked it! I am supposed to get mine tomorrow and am not usually a Bare Minerals fan but I looked up some of the colors and products and for $29 (in my case) I think it seems like a great deal and it didn’t seem like the colors were anything nutty like electric blue and sparkles. Did you get the same items as people have posted in here?

FINALLY got a response from CS. ”
Dear Marissa,
I appreciate your patience in awaiting our response. I’m very sorry that you experienced difficulties when attempting to place an order for our 15-Piece Mystery Collection. The promotion had been removed until we were able to review the issue further. I recommend keeping an eye on the website to see if the promotion becomes available in the future. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this has caused. Thank you so much again for your patience. Any pending charges should fall off within 3-5 business days but you can also contact your bank directly to see if they can assist you further with this process.”
Sounds like they might start selling more but I’m not biting. Especially after the spoilers include 3 lipglosses. Still have the 7 charges on my card….

Guys this is just a reminder to use a SEPARATE card for online purchases. A lot of people on here were commenting about how upset they were because of the financial snafus that they had to deal with. First, ALWAYS read the reviews before you buy ANYTHING online. It’s understandable that it’s a time sensitive deal and you want to jump right on it- believe me! But that leads to online tip #2. NEVER use your real card. Keep a prepaid bank card or prepaid debit card for your online purchases. I have 4 monthly subscriptions plus a bad Amazon habit lol. I make sure to keep JUST enough money on my prepaid card (my bank has then, but green dot or vanilla or whatever will also work) to cover whatever those expenses may be. Sure, it’s a lot more convenient for us just to use our debit or credit cards, but it also makes it so convenient for multiple “accident” charges, online account theft, etc. Simply keep enough on the prepaid card or add a little on there when you’re ready to buy. If your check is direct deposit you can even have it split up, and put a couple hundred in the prepaid card to cover online shopping and subscriptions. Either way it’s much safer than using your debit card.

Thanks for the tips. These make alot of sense. I think I learned a lesson from this stressful situation just like alot of other people.

Totally going to lose it with BE!!!!
I thought all the trouble was over! I was so wrong!!! I was able to order the mystery bundle the other day and all 7 previous charges were dropped and I got shipping conformation yesterday! Then I wake up this morning with an extreamly low balance in my bank account!!!! I was charged another 8 times throughout the night!!!!!! This is beyond frustrating!!! I’m so angry!!!! I’m so done with bare essentials!!!!
Be careful check your accounts ladies! ?

I can’t believe I already got shipping conformation for this bundle!! Last month I waited at least 2 weeks just for a shipping conf! Super excited!! I really hope this box is worth all the trouble!!!

When I saw what’s inside (and I only paid $27 for the box), there seems to be a lot of brushes, bags and even a pencil sharpener! Not really that impressed so far. I’m new to their glosses and eye shadows and there are a couple of those in the box so hopefully they will be great, otherwise I’m sending it all back!

Chris
I received two boxes today. Seriously fast shipping!
Then comes the meh.
One of them has THREE identical chocolate eyeliners.
The other box has two eyeliners,one chocolate and the other blue., but two identical brushes. Also it’s missing one item, a sharpener.
Other than that they have the same items. A couple of eyeshadows, two full size and one deluxe sample buttercream lip glosses and a sample lip oil balm, 2gram size mineral veil, brushes, a sharpener and a bag.
Meh.
Not very happy. I thought there would be some variety.
I have one more coming with some added stuff. I should expect more of the same.
Do these swap well or should I return them? I would imagine that the swap board will get loaded with this stuff!
Crick
That is exactly why I passed on this one , I bought the last mystery box and got three brushes exactly the same except one was rose gold
And now with all the frustrating charges I’m so glad I didn’t get this one

I think the second chocolate eyeliner was my mystery gift ?
Kicking myself because now I’m ending up with a duplicate
Jaime
Late last night I checked my bank account and the extra two charges had disappeared. Now that I’ve bought the box I have three charges again. I’m angry enough about two extra charges, I feel bad for the people that have seven (or I’ve seen up to ten). I hope these charges clear soon.
Reply
Marissa
I have 7, SEVEN pending charges on my account and no confirmation email. This is unacceptable, If they don’t right this I don’t know what I will do. I want a box and frankly I’m being charged for 7, I should get something! No response from customer service but I emailed them at around 5pm last night asking for answers and a box.

After being charged five times i am now being told i don’t even get a box. I still have two charges pending but three have been dropped. You would think they would offer free items to all the people that have been charged but end up with nothing. Not fair at all.

It took me hours to order because I kept getting red errors that I couldn’t figure out.
I just was able to place an order using 2 promo codes Ipsy2016 and Summer.
I received one confirmation email so I’m hoping I do not get duplicate bills.
It is not sold out but the site is still having tech issues. Keep trying!

I would check your bank balance. Most people that got the red errors, including myself, saw multiple charges.

Ugh. Tried to order this morning and kept getting error messages. I figured it was sold out so I gave up. Came to MSA on my lunch break and read the posts, sure enough I was charged muuuultiple times (10!) and immediately freaked out and called Bare Minerals. They basically said the charges would drop off in 3-4 days, but my bank was able to remove them immediately for me. Then I called and had my order placed over the phone just to be safe, lol! I hope it’s amazing for all this trouble 🙂

My order went through at about 2:30pm CST. I only used the code IPSY2016 (didn’t read comments before ordering, so didn’t know I could stack). Lucky me, only one charge to my cc.
Ok, so I tried to order this morning from my phone and it kept saying “error” when I tried to place the order. So I thought maybe it had something to do with my phone so I tried my desktop. I went through the process again, and it said “declined.” So I checked my bank account, and sure enough I’d been charged 4 times with no order confirmations.
I tried to get ahold of someone via their 800 number, but got nowhere, so I emailed them. Below is the response I got from customer service. I’d already called my bank to pull off the overcharges. Since I saw some of you were able to get it, I went on there just now, and used a different card and was able to place the order with a confirmation. My bank said that one of the original charges was hung up because of address verification. I chose to use their address version with the extra 4 zip code digits and that seemed to cause some trouble processing the charge. At any rate, I thought I’d paste in the customer service response I got in case it helps any of you guys.

I appreciate your patience in awaiting our response, I’m very sorry that you experienced difficulties when attempting to place an order for our 15-Piece Mystery Collection today.
Please know that we are aware of the online issue and are working diligently to have it resolved. At this time, your attempted orders were not successfully placed and any pending charges should fall off within 3-5 business days. At this time, the promotion has been removed until we can review the issue further. I recommend keeping an eye on the website to see if the promotion becomes available again, or you can contact our customer service at the number below to confirm that the issue has been resolved.

I was able to place an order and stack codes. Clear your browser’s cache and get a 15% new customer code sent to your email. Add that to ipsy2016. I decided not to use Summer or Gift4U because I was afraid if my order was too generous they might flag it or cancel one of my discounts. If it will not let you add any codes, pick something small from their sale stuff and add it to your cart. Add all your codes. Remove the small unwanted item. The codes will still be there when the page refreshes.
This was the only charge today that resulted in a confirmation email. So this one is legit. I am actually glad I got the error. It ended saving me a few dollars.

How long did it take for you to receive the 15% off promo code? Since you already used it, can you post it here please?
Reply

I signed up from several different emails and neither of them received a 15% off code. It’s been several hours already. I think they might have frozen these emails so people wouldn’t take advantage of promo codes. I ended up using IPSY2016, SUMMER and GIFT4U.

It might be a one time use. I got the email earlier in the afternoon back when the website was being kooky. It seemed like it only took a few minutes for them to add me to the mailing list.

Just got an email from Bare Minerals at 2:15PM PST that they had technical difficulties with the mystery box but it is now available again. Definitely check back if you got the sold out info earlier.

Just purchased one at 2:30 PST and was able to stack IPSY2016, Summer and Gift4U. You make a selection from the same list of free items for both Summer and Gift4U and it is a small selection but still if you want two free full size items it might make all the hassle from this morning sting a little bit less. Good Luck!
