Missing calendars coming your way

Hi, again!

It was so wonderful being able to visit with all of you last week. We can’t believe how quickly the year has gone by and that holidays are just around the corner. We also can’t believe how many of you took advantage of our great TS and picked up one of our Gifts that Keep on Giving Collections. Please know that if you ordered or reserved the TS before the actual launch on December 6th, your calendar will be mailed to you separately. Please don’t worry.

Wishing you all a Healthy and Happy Holiday and New Year!

SKIP & AMANDA

I love the llac products of yours. I always miss them before they are sold out. Couldn't you bring more kits of the fragrance, since so many like lilac? Also those small jars of fragrances that you have. hey are great nad i've missed out on those. Try hard to get in on time before they run out but haven't been able to yet. Could you bring more kits of them so some more of us would be able to get them. Love your products ad give some away or gifts and they end up new customers of yours Happy days

Sad IBB Addict 02/12/2008
The RAIN Customer Voice autoship was a tremendous disappointment. I simply can't believe that a product that smells that awful could be distributed with the Elariia name on it. I think IBB is trying to be too many things to too many people and you are risking your reputation for quality.

I am upset that the fact for me is I was told by HSN that I MUST return my TS package in order to get the above stated calendar.I was told that the calendars were put in the plastic with the Bath and Body goodies and they can't break up a shipment so I must RETURN THE WHOLE PACKAGE TO GET THE CALENDAR!

Hi Skip and Amanda I just thought I'd add my two cents worth on the Sandalwood. The bath gel was VERY strong and I had to return it. I didn't mind the creme as it was lighter, but still not my favorite. It's OK, tho', as I spend WAY too much on all of the other scents. I just opened an Avocado and Lemongrass liquid soap. It seems very heavy and I have trouble rinsing all of it off (my water never seems to get hot enough) and it clumps in small doses.Has it just been on my shelf too long?

Hi Skip and Amanda. Blessings to you in the New Year. I LOVE the Sandalwood gel and the body cream. It has a most wonderful fragrance. Would love to see the gel in a larger size and also a Sandalwood cologne. All the Perlier/Elaria products are great, and I appreciate your sincerity and the quality of your products. Job well done!

Hi Skip and Amanda! I hope you and your family had a GREAT Christmas and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not, but, Skip, I bought the diffusers in the Cinnammon/Amber and Myrrh, and was going to give these as gifts and keep one. Well, I opened it yesterday, NEW YEARS DAY and the reeds are NOT absorbing the cinnammon at all. I hate to send the three others back, but was just wondering if you could replace the reeds with some better reeds? Thanks

I was very disappointed in the calendars. I didn't get mine with product and body cream came already opened and looked like someone had scooped some out. When HSN finally sent me a calendar after complaining..there were no coupons in it like previous years. I could have bought a calendar like that for $1..I used the coupons every month and when you had two books used both coupons.

I finally got my missing calendar today and then found out there aren't any coupons inside like there has been in the past few years. I was shocked and disappointed that there weren't any coupons. I wouldn't have been upset over the calendar if I had known there was nothing inside...ha

Not much space to write but after my small complaint I just wanted you to know that I am a big fan and lover of IBB. I have many allergies and your products are some of the few I can use. I am really bad about keeping everything for myself. I have discovered so many new favorite scents and I thank you for giving me something to look forward to each day.

Rita, KS 12/27/2007
I got the TS this year. I liked it but liked the one from last year better. I also purchased the large aroma diffusers in the amber & myrhh and the wild pine. I liked both scents but my wild pine did not have any bamboo sticks in it so was unable to use for Christmas. We live in a rural area and have not been able to locate a store nearby that may have them. Could you please ship the missing sticks? I have purchased lots of diffusers and this is the first time this has happened.

Dee, FL 12/22/2007
I am very disappointed in my last 2 shipments. The Pumpkin Spice has a strange fruity smell that seems to linger on. And where's the spice? I thought it would have a nice cinnamon or nutmeg smell, but it doesn't. The Sandalwood just plain stinks. It is very manly--I can't imagine a woman wearing it. I did love the Verbena, though. It smells like lemon drops candy--very refreshing.

For those of you who like a body cream fragrance but think that it is too strong, try mixing it with the Neutraline lotion to soften it.

Ginny, NJ 12/20/2007
I loved the Pumpkin and Verbena lines. I used the creams alone. But I combined the bath gels with other IBB bath creams and liked the combos better than the gels alone. The Pumpkin I combined with Mandarin&Ginger, and the Verbena I combined with Coconut&Mango. These combos were outstanding. Skip&Amanda can mention on air that customers can mix and match their bath gels and creams, and create new more appealing scents. And also finish the bath product remnants that many have.

The 2007 IBB Customer Voice Products were all great. I loved the Sandalwood Scent the most because Sandalwood is my favorite essential oil. And the creams were a great base for Tovah's Signature Fragrance that I wear frequently. And Marilyn Miglin's fragrances, Magic and Pheromone, which I also wear often. I hope IBB launches this scent.

I want to add my request for the return of the IBB Bulletin Board. If it's a technical issue, the BB slowing down the HSN web site, a separate site for Bulletin Boards for all the Popular Vendors could be established. And a link created on the HSN web site to get to the BB web site. HSN does this now for the HSN charge card. HSN can use this site for providing an on-line version of their monthly program guide and they can give on-line shoppers the option of discontinuing email alerts.

Ginny, NJ 12/20/2007
Thanks HSN and IBB! I received my Calendar yesterday and I'm a happy customer. I like the calendar because I use it to plan my IBB purchases all year. The only things I would add to the Calendar are the months that IBB will be on TV, and the Elariia and Perlier product lines that will be featured. It's great knowing that information because HSN doesn't provide more than a weeks' information on-line.

Jeannie, VA 12/19/2007
Skip, it is good to hear from you, but please use your influence to bring back the bulletin boards. HSN would sell more products and the vendors would benefit. We appreciate the blog, but this is no way to communicate.

Skip, I love my IBB products and buy faithfully but I have to say, I was incredibly disappointed in the December visit. What happened to Honey Walnut, Honey Hazelnut, and Honey Chestnut? And no Honey Cinnamon bath cream? You mentioned each of these on air in previous visits, wet our appetites and then they aren't available!! Please make starter kits with both bath and body creams in all of these new honeys (and don't forget a starter kit on Honey Lemon too!). Thanks!

Hi everyone! I missed the presentation of the New White Musk which I had waited for for so long. Dianne (with 2 N's) do you or anyone else know when this is going to be brought back? The original scent of the White Musk is my all time favorite, unfortunately I don't have the new scent to compare with the original scent. I do agree with Jo from Texas, nothing beats the Original Scent of the White Musk. I wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Great New Year!!

I'm continuing to have trouble voting -- the vote screen doesn't pop up. I've reported this to HSN as I did last month -- this system doesn't seem to be working for HSN or IBB. However, I love the Sandlewood, especially the lingering scent. I didn't care for the Pumpkin spice. Can you please make some purse size hand creams -- I would love that for traveling.

Thanks for all your wonderful products! I bought the TS and have a question about the Neutraline products. I'd love to try the floracology fragrence oils with them, but I can't find them on .com. Will you be selling them soon? I'd love to try it. The Oliverium products are great for winter-dry skin. The scent is pleasant and clean, and even my husband likess to use the shower cream as well. Also, great to see the sugar vanilla in the set. I bought a large size last year and love the flavor.

I too received the Pumpkin as part of the IBB Customer's Voice Program. I didn't care for the scent and waited for quite a while thinking after I had it on for awhile I would like it, but I didn't. However, the moisturizing effect was astounding! It was thick and soaked right into my skin, it made my skin softer that it's ever been, with the exception of the Shea Butter. I would not buy the pumpkin, but will use this for a hand and foot night treatment. Thanks for everything!!

I just received the coconut mango set that sold out last time it was on. I was looking forward to using the sugar scrub packets, and let me tell you they smelled AWEFUL. It smelled nothing like coconut and instead almost had a plastic smell to it. THe scrub itself is wonderful but the scent it terrible. I wish they would come in other scents such as chocolate vanilla. I am not sure how this particular item is a customer pick unless i received a bad batch.

Re New Scents: Was able to vote this time on the Sandalwood. I love it! Was not able to vote on the pumpkin. For some reason when I went to the website it said I had voted--which I had not. Accordingly, I did not like the Pumpkin. In its place, I suggest the White Tea and Bergamot!!!! Enjoy a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year.

Thanks for letting us know about the calendars! I am looking forward to receiving it. I, too, would like to address the plastic honey pot containers. Please make them in glass. I would gladly pay more. With colder weather, the liquid is probably freezing, fracturing the plastic. Shipping from HSN, to numerous unheated UPS warehouses, to the unheated UPS trucks for home delivery is creating a problem for IBB, HSN, and making for very unhappy customers. Happy Holidays!

Just a comment on the honey beehive bottles. I received the honey cream in the nice white bottle and it was damaged with the cream all over the packing box. What a mess ! Since you sold out of this I could not get a replacement and had to trash it. It seems like others had similar problems. I would also be willing to pay for a better quality container. I love the scent and was sorry it was wasted. All I got back from HSN was a small credit to my account.

Thanks! I ordered my kit earlier and it arrived without the calendar. So I called HSN CS and was told that it would be mailed out separately. But I started to worry when I saw other comments that said that the kit needed to be sent back to get the calendar. Didn't want to do that and was going to call HSN again to verify what I was told. Your post has saved me that call. Next time a short note sent with the product would save a lot of time and distress on HSN, IBB, and IBB customers. Buon Natale
