Too Faced Cyber Monday Mystery Bag – FULL SPOILERS!

What if I opened the box but didn’t open the products yet?? Do you think I could still return it?

Wow, I’m actually really disheartened with this. When I took out my freebies, Borderline liner, and my “Beautifully Brushed&Bronzed set… I was way underwhelmed. Usually I don’t think I’m that hard to please. But my “full-sized palette” squeaks when I open and close it. Plus the hinged section moves the lid around quite substantially. I had my cyber bag from last year — less the Buki and Blush (yes, one year ago) because I wanted to accurately compare qualities. The Rock ‘N Roll palette is the same design, same size, same net weight/oz / number of shadows. But it feels way better made. And the Soul Mates blush is pretty ginormous and was popular at the time. They might have clearanced RNR palette beforehand too, I don’t know. But the retractable Bronzing Buki was what put it over the top. When I thought I received two BTS mascara minis, I truthfully almost threw them both. I know they’re heavy on deluxe BTS GWP, but at least one is purple. Which hopefully will look amazing with blue eyes. I like the larger “multi-purpose” colors in the palette more than anything. Highlighting and brow bone/inner corners please! But what really threw me as a major difference between the two… Has to be the Melted. Between then and now, they came out with multiple Metal/Chocolate/Matte finishes. And the Rainbow color was probably not as popular; because it was so bright&bold. But at one point it was specifically made and sold as a VIBRouge exclusive. So it kind of felt like a forbidden unicorn color. (Lol ironically I’m a Rouge, just more that I’m too cheap to buy full price.) But this Frosting color feels like a stripper-meets-Barbie dupe for Peony. Only more … Plastic looking, unnatural, and fluorescent enough to be a hit at a black light party. Overall it’s the quality of the items and the generic products (anyone who frequents Sephora; probably has about a trillion of GWP Peony Deluxes, you know it’s true. ) make the difference for me. Bulletproof eyeliner is good to get; simply because I almost bought almost every color at their last 50% off sale. But didn’t buy any, because I don’t like not trying before buying. So now I can try it and see if I like the formula before I buy the other 16. It so far on my hand hasn’t budged when I’ve (harshly) rubbed my finger right through it. But since being pleased with it is a preferential thing, I can see how people wouldn’t want yet-another-basic-black-eyeliner. I know from subbing to multiple Beauty Boxes that black eyeliner is something anyone (who does the same) has an annoyingly abundant excess of.

Does anyone know how to return the mystery box and stuff we did not pay by PayPal? I made two orders for the mystery box as well as additional things to make up the shipping. But I don’t want either order anymore. I’d love to know if we can return the mystery box as well as the other items in there. I’ve emailed their customer service to cancel but they say it’s too late even though the charge on my credit card has not gone through. I emailed them again but they are slow to respond or perhaps overwhelmed.

Does anyone know if we can return the mystery bag (so disappointing!) and any of the sale items. I just want to return my complete order (unused). I may keep one SALE item but that’s it. Do we have to pay return shipping as well. What if payment was made by PayPal how can I return it? I really wish I had skipped on this 🙁

I got my order today. I ordered the mystery bag and Born This Way makeup for my daughter for Christmas. When I ordered the promo was to receive two free samples as well. I received the Born This way makeup and my two samples the naked dolly and single dose shadow insurance. NO MAKEUP bag but one, that’s right ONE size queen mascara?!?! I tried to call but was listening to music forever and no one picked up. I sent an email and hope to hear back on Monday. My packing slip said it was included in this order. I am so frustrated. Although, after reading reviews maybe I should just ask for my money back.

Yeah, I’m returning this and buying the sweet peach palette one it releases. And then I’m not buying their products anymore. Too Faced took advantage with this grab bag. Shame on them.

What a disappointment!! 😓 My first time pulling the trigger for this mystery bag and it has left me with sour. What bad experience!! NEVER will I trust Too Faced or fall into this type of offers coming from them!! I saw that palette for $12 on their website before midnight that day, so how is this bag worth over $100??? I feel so lied to, and taken advantage of! 😢

I waited until 3am to get this bag and now I’m really disappointed I won’t use any of this makeup that mascara smudge on me like crazy, I don’t use glitter, I don’t need another eyeliner I don’t like the colors in the palette and that lipstick color no no,
I regret my decision as this was the only gift I could afford for myself this Christmas, I would have invested my money in another brand .

too faced just dumped all their discontinued and clearance junk onto me for the same price as the tj max and nordstorm rack that’s been trying to sell it for the past few months. I feel like a sucker and am so sad. after seeing last years was items that they were still selling for full price and didn’t discontinue until summer i was guessing the natural matte/eyes palette, sweethearts in peach beach (since papa don’t peach is coming soon) a mini better than sex in black, and maybe a lip gloss or lip primer. Heres just how much too faced ripped me (actual prices of these items i sighted at NRack/TMax, 2 prices shown means the locations varied their costs)
-melted lipstick in frosting full size -$8
-shadow primer $7 or $8
-cat eyes palette $15
-bulletproof liner for $10
-recently there was a travel better than sex and travel melt off (together) for $10
So yeah thats more than $39 still but then we paid shipping. I could have just went to tj max, picked up some other gifts to total $100 and have gotten the $10 reward then. No offense against the discountinued tj max makeup – its pretty much the only time i buy high end makeup because its a fantastic deal, and I drive a brand new car at age 22 (i pay for it) but I was expecting better of too faced, also considering how i researched last years bag.
And looks like they dumped their leftover nikkie purple mascaras because that set FAILED miserably – you tubers ripped it for “bad pigmentation”
RETURNS: per tf site you can return up to 30 days after purchase as long as it wasn’t too used and they’ll refund you. I paid paypal and there are FREE RETURNS. so i won’t even open it.

I don’t hate it, but I’m not thrilled either. TF has so many good blushes and bronzers, I thought for sure there would be one in here. And I’m really confused by the color of the Melted lipstick. The tube and swatch look like a fairly wearable, neutral pink. But the photo on the model’s lips is Pepto pink, so we’ll see how it is IRL. If it turns out to be more on the wearable side, I won’t feel like I wasted my money.

I’m returning my entire order. Deeply disappointed as I already have the palette, but everything else seems terrible.

For those of you who paid with Paypal, Paypal will refund return shipping costs up to $30. I plan on taking the box to FedEx and shipping it out back to them.

I just got my box and the only thing in it was the free sample, 20% off card and an empty bag. Everything else was missing!!!! Even the extra items I purchased. THAT was a letdown. 🙂 I called customer service and they said they’d ship out a new box. They were very nice and as long as it comes next week, I’ll be happy.

That’s so funny – I was debating whether to add the Cat Eyes or Too Cute palette to cart to get free shipping.
I chose Too Cute so now I get 2 palettes!
Before you dismiss the Cat Eye palette, whatever the current price, just think how gorgeous the lilac and purple shadows will look with purple mascara 💖 The holidays are coming – time to sparkle!
Colour me ‘fairly thrilled’.

I had a feeling this was going to be trash. THANK GOD I convinced myself out of getting this one. Absolutely terrible. A palette you had on for 12 dollars and a couple of samples wow

I’m so glad I didn’t order it. I wouldn’t use any of it.

I will be returning my whole order when it arrives without opening it! This was my first time ordering this mystery bag and was excited, but never again! Too risky! 😒

So disappointed to see this. On the website it does say they accept returns of unused product. Anyone remember if they said this bag was final sale?

I wonder if all of us return it, if they’ll get the hint that this “best bag ever” isn’t worth 39 bucks…
If this is their best ever (two trial sized mascaras, a thick black eyeliner, an unflattering baby pink lipstick, a trial sized primer, and a very bold- yet only thing remotely worth paying for- palette…) then I seriously question Too Faced’s judgment… Seriously I get this stuff from my $10 Ipsy bag!!

I LOVE Too Faced but very glad I skipped this deal. I had looked over the sale stuff and decided I would rather just buy the things I wanted at 50% off. Will keep this in mind and do that next year.

I’m a bit excited for this because I haven’t used this brand before and I hear its pretty good. The lipstick color and eye palette seem right up my alley, and while I wouldn’t buy purple mascara on my own, I will try it happily. As for the glitter glue, yay! Seeing as I just dropped my eye primer in the toilet, I’m stoked to not need to buy one just yet. Only thing is I wish half the items weren’t travel sized, and it’s kinda effed up that the eye palettes were so cheap at the time of this bag. It would have been a better value if they included two palettes.

Glad I passed. I might be in the minority, but I hate their BTS mascara — flake city! Plus I already have dozens of mascaras and eye liners from sub boxes. I’ll never get through them all. That cat eyes palette has been on clearance forever at TF and glitter glue sounds awful, whatever it is. Their mystery bags get worse each year while the price goes up. The only thing I would’ve liked is the Melted lippie.

What a bummer! I bought the cat eyes palette with the box to get the free shipping. *sigh* their mystery bags just keep getting worse! The 2014 was amazing, last year’s was decent and this is just OK, worse for me because I got 2 of the same palette in the same box :'(

Didn’t get this because it wasn’t free shipping. Funny how there’s a big mental difference between $39 and $50+. Note for next year, just buy the palettes I want at their half price sale.

I had called Too Faced to cancel this the morning I ordered it but was told it was too late. But the rep said if you do not open it and write return to sender on the box (and of course send it right back) you will get a refund. You will not be refunded shipping of course but at least you will get your $39 back.

Got mine today. Looking at it right now and it’s a thing of beauty . I’m just not getting the hate.
