Appreciate free shipping. Clasps & beads are waaaay overpriced. Several tems are out of stock. Don’t appreciate offers to purchase random items when trying to checkout. The subscription kits are confusing. Monthly is self explanatory. $55 per month to receive 1 kit every 3 months??

VERY DISAPPOINTED that I was too late to get the JET BRONZE MATTED before they were closed out. Sad face. Just goes to show that you need to get on the sight more often!! Always something GREAT being offered!! I love the offers at the end of my cart purchase. It usually has something that I missed or just want looking for - but, I need in my life LOL
