      I placed an order today for tinted complexion rescue based on their online color match, it suggested DESSERT6.5. I ordered that color and checked several times to verify it was in the cart because it was out of stock on Amazon. Then when I receive my email conf. it is the wrong color and a color I cannot use. I try to chat and then call within moments of the order and cant get hold of anyone. I tweet at them and they tell me they cannot modify or cancel the order. They say I have to wait for the color to ship to me, then call again and print shipping label etc. This is unacceptable! Another thing is they have no option for me to delete my payment information in my account! They say, click on this link to edit address and payment information, but it only has address change. So forever they will have my payment information in file? This is also unacceptable.

      I was a happy customer with bareMineral products. I bought those products at Ulta. My favorite is the bareMinerals powders, and especially the brush separate. When I went back for another brush, I was told they are no longer in stock. So I went online and bought another brush. When I received it, the plastic part that keeps the brush clean has been different. The piece cannot work. Too tight with a ring in the plastic. I thought I would try it, hated it, but it was too late to refund. And yet, I tried again, thinking that it was a mistake or a scam. I bought it again, noting that it is surely bareMineral brush. When I received it, it is the exact one from before. Not able to keep the brush clean. I went back to ****, who always refunds. But this was not from them. They said they there is another company bought up to bareMinerals, and there are problems. It was nothing they can do. I wish to contact the new company with a refund on 2 brushes. I also want them to show the brushes in their marketing. The plastic piece is not even in their ads. Please do not buy from them again.
