Anyone live in the NYC area? I called around to a few of the local WF and no one said they received them yet. Actually popped into a store this morning and they said they still are not sure if they are in receiving or not but hope to have them out sometime this week. I don’t want to miss out!

I purchased two yesterday morning and received a 25% discount as well. Each bag was $11.25 before taxes.

Lucky you the cashier rang it up wrong! The promotion wasn’t suppose to apply to the bags.

So, in addition to getting two of the beauty bag yesterday I put my name in a raffle box and guess what? They call me last night and I won this huge basket of natural beauty products too! I’m going this afternoon to pick it up. I didn’t even pay that much attention to what was in it since I never win that kind of stuff. I’m so excited!

I got 2 with the intention of putting one up for swap but after seeing how awesome they are and that the lining varies and each pattern is so cute I don’t think I can let either of them go. Also, my husband works for the company so we get a discount making them only $12 each. Score! Love these brands.

Love everything about Whole Foods, couldn’t wait to get this bag. Didn’t realize it wouldn’t go out till 10am – had to wait for it almost an hour. Was worth the wait !
Just tried the Cleansing Milk , the facial scrub and a serum. Earlier today I used the Burts Bees lipstick & the facial mist.
I am a Cosmetic junkie, having worked in the industry for many years. Everything in this bag is top notch !

My report from Western Connecticut: the bags were nicely displayed on a table at the end of the beauty aisle near the registers; by 10:30 or so they only had 7 of the 22 remaining. The beauty aisle worker in my store was also excited about the beauty bag; however she told me this may be the last time they do a beauty bag. (?) I bought one for a friend, too, and I can’t wait to give her this bag — the sign said $80 value!!! Beauty products are all 25% off this weekend at WF, thank you Whole Foods! and THANK YOU, LIZ !!!

So excited to try all these samples and really pleased with the bag itself! I love, love, love the Weleda hand cream and am really hoping it will help minimize my dryness and cracking.

I called my WF yesterday to find out if they’d be putting the bags out at 10a or when the store opened and they told me they would wait until 10a so I got there at about 9:50 and there was already a line so I got into it.
My store got in 22 bags and she opened the box and took them out in front of us. She was super nice and opened all the bags so we could pick based on the design inside the bag since there were quite a few different designs but the outside of the bags were all the same (a charcoal gray color not the pretty brown in the photo above). Anyhow~ I snagged a bag and they were all sold out by 10:05 in Seattle.
Super happy with this purchase thanks for the heads up! I will use everything which is rare and it’s just such a great value for what I got!

Fyi 2 left at 3:30 pm in Austin TX store on 360 and 183. Not in the beauty aisle but on a rack next to the scone/cookie case.

I stopped by my local Whole Foods around noon and they were sold out. Said that they did not get many. Very disappointing. Guess I will have to get there when they open in the future.

Got mine just before 9am at the Tanasbourne location in Oregon. This store opened at 8am and they were located on an end cap in the beauty aisle. I didn’t count how many there were but maybe like 15-20? So excited! The items in these are awesome and a lot of them are products I’ve heard lots of buzz about so thanks Liz!!

I grabbed one from the Orange County California store at 11:30am PDT. They were hidden in a box in the beauty aisle and I had to ask the sales lady for one. There were only three bags left in the box.

I showed up at 10 am and my whole foods was all sold out, i’m kinda bummed…
Although since it is “beauty week” they did have the juice beauty and derma-e vendors there handing out coupons and a couple samples!
Also, at my store all of the face products were 25% off! I ended up picking up a juice beauty hydrating mist… I tried it out in the store and loved it! So refreshing ♡
I may just have to show back up tomorrow and see what other vendors are going to be there!

YES! I got it! So excited. I was literally the last person. I’m really excited to try to MyChelle Vitamin C serum – I’m trying to replace all my skincare with natural brands and have been dying for a vit c serum to love. Fingers crossed! what a great deal!

I stopped by my store on the way back from driving hubby to work and there were plenty of bags, I’d say more than 30 for sure at around 10 am. Grabbed just one, letting other local ladies enjoy this nice deal:) I’m in SFBA.

For anyone in my neck of the woods, Harry’s Farmer’s Market in Marietta had about 6 left as of 2PM. (If you don’t know what Harry’s Farmer’s Market is, you’re not in my neck of the woods…)

I just got one at my local Whole Foods around 1:15 PM. Not sure how many they started with, but there were only 3 left when I got there. Excited to try out these 9 items!

Got mine! It’s really a great bag of stuff. They had them in the back and weren’t putting them out. Our WF is tiny, one of the first in Chicago way back in the 90’s. The guy that brought it out said “you’re the first one!” I think it’s an ‘insiders only’ at my WF. So, thanks Liz for posting this!

I just bought one for myself and an extra. I put the extra up for swap just now if anyone is interested. This is an outstanding bag for $15. Nine great items and I will use all of them.

I am very interested my closest WF is over 2 hours away, I have never swapped but I belong to many subscription boxes so have plenty of stuff! Or I would be willing to purchase at a premium for your hassle, please let me know.

I purchased two this morning before work. You may want to check the bags before you purchase them because I was missing an item (the charcoal mask in one bag and mascara in another) in each bag. I was in the parking lot when I noticed so I went back in the store and they exchanged them. I’m very impressed with this bag. It’s $80 worth of products.

I just called my whole foods in Cherry Hill, NJ and they said tmrw morening when they open they will go on sale and the lady in the beauty dept asked for my name and said she would put one aside for me specifically.

I stopped by this morning and was told that they could not put the bags out before 3/18. They said that they have them already in the back and that they only received 22 bags. There will be a display and they will be ready to purchase when the store opens at 8am (My store is located in Greenville, SC).

So was it just the one person who got this early? Because I can stop by to get one on my way home to take Nyx out in a bit — it’s not really out of the way — but there’s not much point if it isn’t going to be in the store. (My closest store does respond to Tweets but it takes them a day or two…)

Ok I haven’t been in a WF in years but I’m stepping in for THIS, but are they out early? Maybe it was just one random store?

I’m thinking what happened is kind of like what happens at bookstores. Books are supposed to come out on Tuesday but I would sometimes see new releases at Barnes and Noble on the Friday before. Someone at the store just opened the box and stuck the stuff on the shelf without paying attention to release date.
