What kind of jewelry did you get? I want to see pictures of the jewelry everyone's getting so bad! I'm really hoping that my subscription box and my gift box are completely different since they're both for me! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Spoiler

She got a bracelet from jewel mint! Looks like they are sending different items for the jewelry. Zoya was in storm.

Edit: Added a spoiler

that's great news!

Thanks for the spoiler...it actually adds more surprise to the box!

Hahaha that face is so perfect!

Okay, so here's mine - it's a little different from all the other boxes that have been mentioned here so far!

I got:

- the Forest Essentials Madurai Jasmine&Mogra Bath&Shower oil

- Heartland Bath Salts in White Tea

- Pleats Please

- Zoya Ornate in Ziv (yaaaay! I've been wanting a gold polish for ages!)

- Jewelmint earrings 

- mark. Lipclick in m.powerment petal (if it's any good, this is my absolute favorite part of the box - LOVE the color!)

- Wella Velvet Amplifier in a foil packet (um... really?!)

All in all I'm very happy! I got a Zoya polish that I will actually use (that must be to make up for last month's lime green Illamasqua), the lipstick is really neat, the shower oil smells awesome and the earrings even kind of go with the polish (although closing and opening them seems to require herculean strength, and they also hang kind of weird - not really straight, but kind of turned out... hard to explain). The Wella foil packet was a bit of a 

 moment, and the perfume isn't really something I'd wear more than a couple of times, but hey, it's all part of the fun.

Oh, and I <3 the wrapping paper this time!

Great box!

Thanks for the pictures! So glad to see more variation in the boxes!

I think the foil packet is just because it's an "extra" – the other 5 bigger items are our items for this month, and the two minis are just extra goodies. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Cool box! Thanks for sharing!

I love the gold nail polish and the lipstick color! 

I can't wait to see what I got...

I LOVE your box! It's even better than mine which I was very happy with...! Enjoy!

Question...

how large are the hoop earrings?

Yep, looks like it's just an extra. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
So far, I would be happy with most things, but I really hope I don't get the gold Zoya. Pretty, but I keep getting gold polishes and I don't use the 5 or 6 I already have...

I would love a bracelet...the rings probably wouldn't fit me and a lot of earrings hurt my ears...

Got mine today, too! Looks like it'll still be a week or so before I get it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LOVE YOU BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[beautymadn3ss]

I got both of my tracking emails, and apparently I'm getting both boxes today yay!!!!

 

[Mystica]

I just got my box

I got Zoya in "Ziv"?  Not sure if that's the name of it or not, I couldn't find anywhere else on the bottle a name of the color, "Ziv" is right above the TM number on the sticker on the bottom.  

It's a very opaque gold shimmer, not a frost or glitter.  It's pretty.  I don't think this would work for layering over another polish, it's a stand alone color.
 
I'm kind of really disappointed in the jewelry I received.  I don't even understand it.  It's 2 very tiny rings, that fit only below the first knuckle on my pinky fingers.  They're cute rings, but maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe they aren't even supposed to be worn as rings, for all I know.  But they are small, like children's size. I can't bend the first knuckle of my pinky fingers if I wore them, and on the top the design protrudes out (up?) too much.  Maybe I could just string them on a chain and wear them as a necklace, otherwise, these are pretty pointless and unwearable.
 
Perfume and hair oil are tiny.  
 
Salts smell good, I could smell them before I even opened the shipping box.
 
The shower oil is shrink wrapped, so there shouldn't be any complaints of spills.  I haven't opened this yet, it's a really good size though.
 
Overall, I'm disappointed.  Mainly cuz of the jewelry and the hairstuff.  And no makeup.  The polish is nice though.  But I'm glad I got the 40% off, otherwise I might be a lot more upset.

No problem! I was really glad as well - and a little concerned that everyone was getting the Storm. 

Totally agree about the foil packet thing, but is it really appropriate in a holiday "glamour and glitz" box?.. I'm not sure. But then again, I just really don't like foil packet samples.
