Allure Virtual Store Sampling Monday August 10th @ 10 E.T.

I got the text display page, then when I refreshed and got the "proper" page, all the desirable stuff was gone.

Feh!
 
I was there as well hit the submit button and it did nothing so I dont think I got anything. I guess I will wait and see but it did not confirm so i dont think so

This just isn't right. I was there first thing & there was NO submit button & then I gett booted out & by the time I CAN get on they are out of samples. While some people are getting NINE....

It's not right.

I highly doubt I am actually going to recieve 9 products. One products picture actually disappeared as I was entereing my address! And it's all a mirage anyway. And these samples are probably even smaller than the ones given out the first time. I clicked on the description, and some are only a few day supply of something.
 
I dont really know what i got if anything...was a big blur of weird pages and tears and hair that I was pulling out!!!
 
When she say 9-she probly sign for all here family.(i mean 3 accounts)
 
I got in but I have no idea for what. LOL. I was able to get 2 or 3 for sis...the leftovers though.

If the samples actually went through for people I'll be glad. It does seem like there were just as many problems as on the 21st. Maybe they should make sure this stuff works before announcing to the public? I just want to know that they got their crap together.

hi lara... condenast, like most magazine publishers is struggling. Conde Nast didn't pay well before the recession and has huge staff turnovers. ALLURE has had technical issues on the internet for years and haven't been able to work them out.

the virtual store was launched the first time about a year ago... it was so problematic that they shut it down completely. nothing about ALLURE surprises me anymore.

Question... was the NIA 24 Physical Cleansing Scrub unavailable from the start for everyone or just me?
 
I think that I got the OPI, the face scrub and eyebrow duo. This was my first time to try the virtual store. I had two windows open trying to refresh and submit and I think that two requests went through, but on the second one, it said something about already requesting one of the samples. I will just be happy if I get 1 sample!

I think I got that...but again I'm not really sure what I got. Just kept submitting. LOL
 
I couldn't get a single thing. It kept telling me to choose at least one when I had. I am so bummed because I was excited that they redid it and I still got nothing.

I know. It's just.... why do they bother with this if they can't make it work?:ohwell: I wasn't trying to get anything this time; I just wanted it to work. It does seem to have worked better than on the 21st, so that's something.

At first it wasn't ghosted out but there was no box next to it to mark from the second it went live, then after I submitted my first batch of samples it was ghosted out. Got in on everything else (or so it seems), with Allure you never know. Maybe this time whomever packs the boxes won't steal my stuff. Last time they "left out" my Burt's Bees Bodykit, it was the only major item I had gotten in on that my mother didn't... the shipping on my box was nearly $2 more than her box but inside she actually had a few more things than I did, seemed weird.
 
The first time they did this, it seemed to work pretty well (I think it was June)--and I did get a bunch of stuff--and also got a few things for DH and my friend. This time, forget it--I couldn't even get what I wanted and never got them in at all (site was so slow, error messages, etc.) Everything was gone so fast. Tutz must have it correct--they don't have the best people working there and their "infrastructure" stinks. IMO, they ought to just stop all of it for a little while and institute a more reliable system. The sponsors supply the products and Allure is paid for "hosting" these things, so I don't see how it is costing them that much, but maybe I don't know everything (nah...)
 
i totally missed this couldnt get up, oh well, hope the rest of you got in.
