Good morning all! I slept in today as I have the weekend off. It's 11am and Vault still isn't open. Maybe they are going for an evening opening today?

Also, I don't really need much. Don't think it will be a big haul, just a couple of items if there is anything new to try.

They just reposted something on their insta stories. So theyre around and ignoring us, or at least it feels like it lol. Like not to be an ungrateful ass, because i love the vault, and they didn't specify a time but its just really just dicked my day around and i hope next time they dont pull this kinda thing again because this is the worst vault day ive ever come across!

Sorry to vent. And sorry for sounding ungrateful. am frustrated with lack of communication!

Oh Maree! Don't punish the poor girl more with instant coffee lol.

I had a team of baby wax eyes make themselves at home inside my house last Friday and they started to roost in the skylight. Took two men and a ladder to get rid of them and another ACC claim for me lol.

Shaz that sounds stressful.

On the bright side, the vault email reminded me to write some reviews I've been meaning to do for months.

I'm sure you'll get the straightener Shaz and your money back, technology is great when it works. I'll have to make time to do some reviews if it opens next Saturday.

Honestly at this point i dont really care, im more disappointed with the fact that BR cant/wont reply to us here when usually they are so damn good at what they do and are always lurking to help on vault days. 

But yes technology is a great thing and i know ill be refunded in the end.

I was spending time with family and missed it. Though it was a good thing as I would've been a bit upset about the payments and no order confirmation.

Just by chance I was there just after the vault opened and most things were still in stock. I quickly picked what I wanted, and then the payment failed twice according to the error messages I received. Luckily I gave up after two tries, as I now have two charges to my credit card as the payment did not actually fail after all...
An email from BR says that they'll get in touch with everyone who placed an order on Monday to sort things out. Problems like this are frustrating, but they happen, we're all just human. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Hi all, 

As you all know we unfortunately encountered an issue with the checkout process on the Beauty Vault.  We don't know what has caused it, so we'll need to let the software guys look at it tomorrow. 

We appreciate it's frustrating when things like this happen - it frustrates us just as much I can assure you. 

As per our email, we're asking those that placed an order (with payment coming out of their accounts) to hold tight until we've spoken to our developers - there are a couple of reasons we're not rushing to a quick-fix;

- The payments are showing as failed in our system which means they may automatically be reversed by our banking system.
- Depending on the issue the software guys might be able to push a fix that will retrospectively align things in our backend, triggering order confirmation and points deduction. 

We want to minimise confusion and further disappointment by having the full picture before deciding on the resolution path. 

A quick reminder that yes, we check in with the forum, but we actually process the most enquiries via email, followed by Instagram and Facebook.  We aim for a 24 hour response time during the week, but at the weekends you can expect a delayed response.  Life happens to us all, even to the Crew during Vault hiccups unfortunately and we can't guarantee a super speedy response 24/7. 

Please refrain from contacting Crew members via their personal social accounts. 

And yes to catch a previous question; the vault will remain open as per the 'new way' - we close it periodically if we have a big restock.  Why?  So people have the chance to pick up a few things they really want, instead of drip feeding additions and them accruing further postage costs.  So once back up, you can expect it to stay open for the foreseeable. 

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Mine's still with the courier in Auckland but it looks very similar to yours, Lisa!

So......it had left Auckland and I got a notification that it had been delivered. Except not to my house. So I took a walk down the road to the house that often gets my parcels. No one home but I could see it in their letterbox so grabbed it lol. I'm probably going to get accused of stealing it on the local Facebook page now lol. Thanks BR! Very happy with my haul.

Bhahaha Soozie! You could have worn your mask and sunnies and nobody would know it was you lol.
They are very similar....I can't wait to try the Dr Lewinns!

Well I was wearing a mask lol. Yeah tempted to just crack everything open especially the Dr Lewins as it sounds interesting. Must use something else up first though. No worries re running out of skincare here lol.

I opened it! It is quite bizarre....like caviar! It's very fiddly. Looking forward to seeing what it does to my skin.

I used the 7 second treatment this morning.  It is so different to anything else I've ever used. It's a liquid that you tip on your hair then massage it in and it turns to a lather.  It's a bit fiddly because it says use 20ml or whatever and has a measurement line on the bottle but I just aimed and squirted it on lol. It smells sooooo good and my hair feels lovely and soft! As for the 7 seconds I definitely left it on for longer than that.
