50% off theBalm to Celebrate New Website


theBalm is celebrating the launch of their new ewbsite with 50% off site-wide for the first 24 hours! The new site launches April 1st 🙂

Last update from theBalm @ 4:29 PM PST: We are so sorry our website crashed! The great news is, our 24-hour 50% off celebration has not yet begun! thebalm.com didn’t expect such a huge influx of orders and we underestimated the number of our dedicated fans while overestimating the capacity of our server. We’re currently upgrading our server and are told that once it’s functional we’ll be able to accommodate everyone. We are expecting this to be within the next few days and we will announce our launch here, on Facebook. Any orders placed today that received a confirmation email will be honored. If you have any questions please email us at info@thebalm.com! Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews.

Thank you for understanding!

Oooh, time to stock up on Mary Lou 🙂 I ordered one from a shady seller on Amazon for $15 last month and it came completely crumbled ;__; If you didn’t know what about a tablespoon of that stuff looks like when it’s crumbled all over your body…. consider yourself lucky! I was glowing like an alien lol. I think I still have shimmers in my skin…

Anyway hopefully if I order one straight from the seller (for $12 I think is half off theBalm’s price?) it’ll come in 1 piece 🙂

Selfishly, I was excited that you hadn’t reported it for a while, because I don’t want to be beat out for a nude’tude palette, hahahaha! What? I did say I was being selfish!

Looks like that was in vain, though, because they still have the under construction banner up! I’ll just be refreshing every few minutes here at work, haha!

Well, as suspected, every time I try to add something to my cart the page won’t load. Traffic is just too high. It doesn’t look like I will even be able to make a transaction. On top of that, even though the website has only been up for about half an hour, they are already sold out of a few items that I wanted.

Major disappointment.

That’s so weird! The website went live for me for about an hour, but I wasn’t able to purchase ANYTHING and some stuff was sold out. Now I am getting the Under Construction page again. I have no idea what the heck is going on.

OMG it took forever for the site to come back online today and it is running so slowly that I can’t even browse it. Has anyone been able to place an order today?

The Balm’s facebook page is saying that their server is down…they will let everyone know as soon as its up. So, just keep a look out.

I went on the site, had a lot of stuff in my cart, but now they say that they have no ‘shipping quotes’ for me (I live in Belgium, Europe) Can someone explain what they mean?

Elyse Avatar

I finally managed to get what I wanted– seems like I’m one of the few! I had to use a link to a specific item and wait for pages to load for several minutes each.

After I’d done that, they did ask that people not do it, but I’m glad I got my NUDE’tude palette and Frat Boy blush just the same. Good luck to everyone when the site goes live again.

It took me forever to browse and put something in a cart. And when I finally tried to check out, the server went down. I was almost there! Oh well, I don’t need them anyways.

YAY! I got the Mary-Lou Manizer, ShadyLady Volume 2, ‘Nude Tude Eyeshadow Palette in Naughty (I couldn’t resist haha) and FratBoy Shadow/Blush!!
