Feel like shopping in a war-time commissary
I've been using Beauty Pie for about 6 months now. As for quality of the products, I've found them to be hit-and-miss. (Some excellent, some I've thrown away after a couple of uses.) I felt like the site was misleading when I signed up. There are different levels of membership. At the time I signed up, I chose the option that allowed you to pay a flat fee for an entire year's membership. One of the bonuses was supposed to be access frequent "limitless" days. What I quickly found out was that "limitless" only applied to a VERY small number of products, and not usually ones that you'd really want. (I notice that the flat-fee option is no longer offered on the site. Maybe they got complaints.) The other issue is just the purely ridiculous nature of the system. There's an actual price for each product. and then a price you actually pay. The actual price is what is deducted from your spending limit. So, you can only get two or three things at once. It's extremely frustrating, and even mildly stressful, which shopping for girl-stuff is NOT supposed to be. It should be fun! And I should be able to buy all the things I want, not feel like I'm in a war-time commissary rationing out coupons.
