Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

http://okmagazine.com/be-pretty/ok-loves-be-pretty/ok-loves-giuliana-rancics-picks-for-the-fall-fff-vip-box/ If this is true, seriously? the same Starlooks palette that Starlooks sent out a few months ago!?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I do already have the item you mentioned so that's a bummer, but yay if that's the box! Those things all look really nice, and I have friends and family that would love my extra item =)

Considering that Starlooks sends out the same items in its subscription box as well as others (another example being the black kohl eyeliner and tipsy lip pencil that were sent out in Starlooks birthday boxes AND Ipsy), there really is absolutely no need to subscribe to Starlooks. You will still get the same products in other services.

I understand getting awareness of your brand, but identical items? Seems like a poor business plan to attract new customers while frustrating the current ones.

I might be in the minority here but I love this box!

I am very happy that they have incorporated "fit" into this box rather then just healthy snacks. 

I can't wait to get this box...I do not have Starlooks so the palette is new to me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So irritating they released it to the media!  And our labels haven't even printed!  I'm east coast.  At this point I'm not expecting anything for 2 weeks. in hand.  I still haven't looked but I don't think I can last that long.  I'm not ordering the next box.  I don't don't pay this kind of money to get surprises in the mail - to be put on some sort of non- "VIP" priority list and wait until everyone else -including the media- knows what is in it.

My god this sub is a MESS. You'd think they learned about sending out old items with the first box, but no. No more for me after this.

I'm with you @mishmish --- I'm shocked that they released it to the media before they released it to their customers! I'm assuming it's because they still have A LOT in stock and are trying to pick up some last minute buyers...meanwhile they're current buyers are pretty much being shoved to the side 

 

I like the box from what I see, although I agree with @Andi B that this box seems more like a standard Popsugar box. Ohhh, but I'm especially excited for the barre3 dvd! However, I doubt I'll keep this subscription. I think I'm happier with PS and their limited edition boxes (especially the upcoming Neiman Marcus box...pardon my drool).

Too soon to call it for sure though, lol.

I'm pretty pleased with this box as my first with this sub. I wasn't quite sure what to expect...just knew I wanted that scarf! Pretty pleased to be getting a cleanser as well since I just finished up my Dermalogica sample from PS. I think the only "disapointment" item is the Starlooks palette but that's only b/c I just got that huge Stila palette in a PS box. I hope they send out varieties of the Orville Reddenbacher! *fingers grossed for garlic butter or zest pepper butter!

I'm okay with this box. I'll use the cleanser and the hair stuff and I love the scarf. Also the eyeshadow colors are nice, unlike the Nyx palette we got in our PopSugar boxes this month (was not a fan). I'm also excited to get a workout DVD--my first from a box and I am ADDICTED to trying new workout DVD's! All in all I think it's well worth my $50.

I agree with you there - the dups are getting annoying. They have a huge product variety with a lot of product change/turnover, there is plenty for them to choose from.

Not too excited about this box, too bad. I probably won't stay with FFF after this, I'd rather splurge on a PopSugar Limited Edition box every once and a while. 

 

[annifer]

I definitely don't want this now after seeing what's in it.

 

[Shauna999]

I'm with you gals. They were definitely smart leaking the gorjana scarf, It's the sole reason why I started back up. Now I'm wishing that I had some restraint so I could've used that $$$ towards the PS/Neiman Marcus Collab box. This is my final go with FFF- nothing will make me sign back up- were broken up this time for good..lol!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Yeah...I'm excited about the scarf, hair stuff, and cleanser. I already have that palette and it is okay, pretty good quality but I do not need 2. Yeah, I do think this wiill be my last box with them.

 

[annifer]

I just don't want that palette. I don't need two.

 

[mckondik]

I'm generally pleased with this box. I don't have the palette and I like the variety of things. I wonder what bonus gift I'll get for being charged twice? Also wondering when I'll get my box since I'm sure the double charging/ refunding  snafu impacted the timing of things.

This was the reply they posted on facebook in response to someone asking about the shipping timeline: "We're expecting almost all boxes for those who ordered before 10/1 to be shipped by EOD tomorrow (many have already gone out too). Many have already gone out, and you should receive tracking information no later than Wednesday." This was posted at 1:15pm, EST on Monday. It is both hilarious and frustrating watching them backpedal and scramble to get things going.
