Wondering if anyone who has 'unpierced ears' checked off on their profile has received their box yet? I had reached out to customer service asking if they were sending alternate items to those people and I received a very obscurely worded email that basically said "maybe...."

I haven't received mine yet but I'm wondering if that's why my box is shipping from CA instead of NY this month (I live in FL).  I didn't use a towel code either...

I have pierced ears on my profile. I did get towel and mine is shipping from ca. Nomarly for ny.... hmmmm

 
Unpierced ears in my profile.  No towel.  Shipped from CA, normally from NY.

 
I have unpierced ears. They sent it to Fedex on the 5th. There is no movement or even an estimated delivery date yet. =\

 
I got my box!  I love the earrings and the lipgloss and will use everything else except the cookie mix (I can't eat gluten), but I can easily give that away.  From the info card, it looks like all of the earrings are the color Slate.  I like the color a lot--it will go with a lot of different outfits.  The lip gloss is not plumping, which is fine with me.  The color is bright pink, but it is pretty sheer.  The scent of the body wash is pretty heavy.  It reminds me of White Musk from The Body Shop, which is fine with me, but it may not be for everyone.  The candle scent is light so should have a fairly wide appeal.  The container will be useful to take lunch to work.  Here's my pic:

For those who have received the box, do the food containers seal tightly? Would liquid spill out?

 
Oh sugar snaps. I got all excited because my shipping notice said I'd get my box today and have patiently been waiting for that doorbell to ring. Only to check again and now it says it won't get here until Monday :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wait a minute ... the cookie mix from the MASON JAR cookie company doesn't actually come in a mason jar? I'm a bit flummoxed by this.

Actually I've seen this company and they have the most BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL glass Jars too - guess they're too heavy for the box?!?!  Kind of like the pouch idea to pack for weekend visits ...and if the cookie mix is the same they're awesome!  you can make your own recipes on their site and those come in super heavy glass....wish i had this box i should have resubbed but cookies arent on the diet :-( but the earrings are lol!

 
I think sending the jar with the cookie mix would have been a lot of weight and expense for the company. Instead, they wanted to introduce us to their delicious mix and get their name on our radars.

Thanks for checking and reporting back.  I completely forgot that they asked about pierced ears so I am less bummed now.  I already had resigned myself to converting an earring into a pendant. 

 
Yes, they didn't confirm anything for sure but told me not to assume the spoilers are the same items that will be in my box. So it really didn't answer anything but at least gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, we have an alternate item. Now I'm just waiting to find out because my box still has a delivery date 10 days away!

I was thinking more of Tieks since they aren't in any store to try on. Thus, I feel getting to try them through a box would be. lol and low risk. I do second you on Yosi Samra being good. I've tried them on several times in multiple stores. Never actually bought them though - but I'm really picky about flats... Especially ballet flats - I don't like them to completely cover my toes - I prefer a little "toe cleavage." I think that's the reason I haven't bought Yosi Samras.

Have you seen/tried Bloch's foldable flats? I'm completely obsessed with them! They're really well-made, they fold up to a really compact size (into an included pouch) and they basically look exactly like ballet shoes--which makes sense, since Bloch is primarily known for making dance shoes. They don't have "toe cleavage," at least not on me, but I think they look very chic and flattering on the foot--they don't come up too far, and the leather--while durable--is soft and molds to your foot. They have a very slender and streamlined look, if that makes sense--they don't add bulk to the foot, and don't stick out in any weird places. The other awesome thing is that they're really discounted on amazon right now (I've bought like 7 pairs--haha)! They come in regular leather as well as suede, and I really like both. I was a little worried at first that the leather in between split-sloe would get nasty on the suede ones, but so far it's held up completely fine (over the course of a few months of wearing them all over NYC). The one thing to note is that they're on the smaller side, so if you're between sizes or unsure, I'd say go up at least a half size. I'm between a 7.5 and an 8 in most shoes, and the 38s were good on me. They also loosen up and mold to your foot after a couple of wears, so they'll seem a bit tighter at first than they will be over time (there also aren't any sharp or stiff bits to hurt your foot during the break-in process, which is nice).

Here they are on amazon if you want to check them out:

Bloch Amelie (regular leather)

Bloch Alina (suede)

 
Rats, I just checked and mine is shipping from California, even though I live in NY (like a bunch of other people have already mentioned).

It really bugs me that they do this--partially because I'd love to get my box sooner, but mostly because it seems extremely inefficient and wasteful to send a box all the way across the country when their other shipping center is about 60 miles from where I live. I wish they would organize their shipping so that everyone within X miles from a shipping center would always get their box from that center. Go green, pop sugar!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is one of those months where I won't necessarily use all the items myself, but they're all cute things that would be awesome for gifting, so I'm happy.

I'm excited about the candle and the gloss, and possibly the earrings (I feel like I have to see them in person first)! The cookie mix is so cute and would make a fun mini-gift to bring to a friend's house. Obviously Lollia is awesome, so even though I don't do florals, it's another great gift or trade item. The only thing I'm pretty meh about is the lunch box. Like a lot of other people, I feel like it hasn't been that long since we got the bentgo, and I don't like this kind of container anyway. I'm sure I can find someone who'll use it though, so overall this is a good month. Nothing that I'm going crazy over, but these are all nice items!

 
That's a nice assortment of things. Totally usable. I'm bummed I didn't get this. Happy for you though!
