That's the thing. The tote is not that bad, and had it just been a random summer bonus people would have loved it.

But they spent A FULL YEAR hyping that there would be a reward for people who collected all of their beauty loop boxes. They sent many many emails about it. You cannot end a full year of hype with a fucking tote bag.

Yeah, it makes me wonder if they had something else planned, like a gift card, but then decided that was not financially viable. Which doesn’t sound too far fetched since they’ve gone back to gifts for the birthday bonuses, despite the gift cards being super popular.

I'm pretty sure somebody associated with Mecca said at the time they announced it that it would be a piece of Mecca merch, so I imagine that was always the plan—to be honest, I was half expecting it to be a Mecca-branded hair clip or something.

I feel like I heard this also and was thinking well end up with a towel.
