I saw this on a link from a website. Free trial offer, just pay shipping & handling ($7.32). No where on the "free offer" did it state "If you don't return this within 15 days of ordering we will charge your account $69.41." If the statement was there at all it was in either very small print or in another link that I failed to click on. This is a true bait and switch offer and the company is obviously unethical in it's practices or this type of operation would not be necessary for them.
In the first place there is a small zipper bag, 3 small brushes and 4 SMALL containers (2.5 gr each) of different foundations and powders in the box. In no way are the total of the items worth $69.41 + $7.32.
In the second place, I wear very little makeup and was going to try this to see if I'd like it as well or better than what I am currently using. It came to my office and stayed here for a couple of weeks (past the time limit) before I even took it home. Certainly before I saw the unexpected charge on my card.
I did manage to get future automatic charges for their "Club Membership" canceled - I hope. My very unsatisfactory customer service representative's name is BARB and the cancellation confirmation number is 6029. However I am still stuck with the product that they will not let me return and the totally unexpected charge right here at Christmas when I can least afford it.
I certainly hope a lot of people check this site before getting stuck by this company.
THIS COMPANY IS STILL SCAMMING PEOPLE I HAVE FILED FRAUD CHARGES WITH MY CARD COMPANY I WILL BE INCLUDING COPIES OF ALL THESE COMPLAINTS TO HELP MY CASE
I had cancelled this product and this was still sent to me. I will return it COD for I did not authorize to continue to use this product- Mineral Elements by Eden. The container inside lid would fall off when tapping the powder into the lid to apply by brush to the face. No wonder you need to reoder the stuff so often for most of it.
I ordered the mineral elements on friday and on monday I was getting calls from other companies, wanting me to purchase this and that. I tell them all NO now wen they call. I tell them to take me off their calling list. I will be calling the mineral elements company also to let them know that I do not appreciate them selling my information to other companies. Watch what you buy online. You never know who will end up with your information.
I WOKE UP AT 6 AM TO MY PHONE TEXTING ME MY ACCOUNT ALERTS BEING WITHDRAWN FOR 130.00 PLUS. ALL FOR TRYING A 1 DOLLAR GIMMICK. iVE CANCELED AND AND EVEN GOT THJE RMA #S . MY OPINION AFTER READING ALL DETAILS AFTERWORD THE ONLY TO STOPO THEM FROM CONTINUOSLY STEALING UN APPROVED MONIES IS TO CANCEL YOUR CARD LOST / STOLEN AND REPORT THE UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES BEFORE ( AND I DO STRESS BEFORE) THEY APPEAR ON YOUR ACCOUNT. FORTUNATLY IM ONLY OUT THAT 130 HOPING TO GET IT BACK BUT THEY GOT MONEY FOR THEIR LAWYERS I DONT, BUT YOULL SEE IN THE TERMS AND REGULATIONS OF OFFER AND SEE FOR YOURSELF . FILE WITH YOUR LOCAL BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. LETS STOP THESE CROOKS!

I recieved this email after cancelling my order with mineral elements, I ordered before I could read others complaints. I placed my order on [protected], and cancelled on the same day, after reading the complaints from others that were scammed by this company; I was told that I would be credited the shipping fee, but then I get this email as if I will be charged for a product I said I did not want and I cancelled. I hope that everyone that was cheated, by them will recieve your money back. I will pray that we all will recieve are monies. Thank you.
