I got the earrings w/ the gold trim, but they aren't my style. They are very beautiful and very high quality, though. I second the poster who would like to see a good photo of the necklace. I think I want to try and swap if the necklace has the same quality as the earrings! Are all the necklaces that have been received in gold? I definitely prefer golf to silver.

 
It's so weird how many people didn't get the jewelry. I've seen a bunch of blog comments about that. They will totally rectify it and maybe it will be a good thing, because I bet you can request whichever jewelry item you prefer.

I got two boxes and was thinking about turning my second set of earrings into two necklaces one for my sister and one for me, but I'm not really a jewelry making kind of gal. Is that a pretty easy thing to do? Do u think it would look nice?

 
So my box is supposed to arrive today but I'm still at work until 5.

I kind of have an idea for the cookie mix. I think I'm planning to give it to my Aunt for Xmas... in a REAL mason jar. Just buy one & stick the cookie mix in it. I have also been thinking on pairing it with the French Bull Salad Tossers we got last month in the jar as well. Throw some ribbon that and it's a done deal!

I think that sounds like an adorable idea! It's super easy to do, just get a jump ring and chain that matches the metal. I would suggest bringing the earrings with you to Michael's or whatever craft store and getting a jump ring/chain in the best color match. And you'll need some small pliers. Good luck and definitely post the results :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My Subscription Addiction has her review up and she got the necklace...

 
I got the necklace! It is really short though, an extender will be used (chokers are not my style). I LOVE the smell of the shower gel, it reminds me of Lush's *** Bomb! Unfortunately, mine leaked a good bit.

 
Can someone that received the necklace post a picture? I am curious to see how it looks.

The stone on the necklace looks smaller than the earrings. The necklace is on the short side, but I like it. I also am wearing the gloss in this picture, but the lighting isn't that great so it is hard to tell.

 
Got my first box today - a day early - Yay!  Love opening the box and not knowing exactly what's in there.  Well, imagine my surprise when I opened my Kendra Scott bag and found a "Care Card" which tells me how to take care of my jewelry but NO JEWELRY!!  Such a bummer.  Not going to lie, I was hoping for the earrings in silver but figured even if I got the necklace I would be fine - or could always trade it.  Have you guys had good luck with customer service responding to these kind of complaints?  I am totally loving everything else.
They have amazing customer service. I forgot to use a code once and they canceled my order and let me use a code. I have had a few issues with products either being missing, or damaged and they have been overly helpful! One time they sent a replacement item to my mother's address instead of mine, and to apologize, let me choose ANY item I wanted from any of the past boxes (as long as they still had it in stock.) They usually take 24-48 hours to respond, but they're always incredibly helpful. They'll definitely send you your jewelry! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OH and also- you can check the card that was in your box to see what piece of jewelry you were supposed to get. Mine said specifically the slate-colored earrings, so yours might say what yours was supposed to be.

Will do. Thanks for the info. I have to admit, despite the slight mess up I am really happy with this box. The candle and shower gel I thought might be kind of eh, but the quality of both is way better than I expected. Oh, I also got the towel which is also great.

I was kind of hoping to not like the box because then I'd have a reason to not consider getting the Fall LE box! :).

 
Thanks for the $10 off code - I am running out of emails to use but got it to work!  

 
Finally got my box yesterday.

Earrings - Received in slate with the silver trimming. Cute, but not for me. This is going to be a xmas present for my aunt. I'm probably going to use the coupon, maybe not. Not too sure right now. 

Candle - I wish wish wissssh we received this in the bigger side because I LOVE the light scent!

Mealbox - I think this is really cute. I always use tupperware for lunch to work/school. Will use the crap out of this.

Bite Gloss - It's a bit on the sticky end. I don't really like it, nor the scent makes me want to keep it. This was a dud for me. Possible gift/stocking stuffer for xmas.

Shower gel - I find the scent not as strong as I want it to be. I used it this morning. But just in time because I was searching for a new body cleanser. Love it.

Cookie mix - Gifting away as a xmas gift, like I said in my previous post.

Protein bar - I ate it after opening my box, which I tend to do with all my snacks that come in the box, LOL. This one was good. No nasty "luna bar" after taste. I know some of you love luna bars, but I just can't DEAL with that UGH after taste. LOL.

Even though I'm gifting most of this box away, I love it anyways. Popsugar always does a good job in making me happy even though I may not use all the items.

Now about that Fall LE box though...... hopefully it's still available by sunday. LOL.

First off - wow! You have amazing lips and the necklace suits you perfectly. Thanks for posting. I got the same necklace in gold and your picture almost makes me want to keep it. It will probably still go in the swap/gift pile because I just have a ton of necklaces already. Gave the lunch container to my daughter for work. She wants to be better about packing her lunches to save money so she was happy! The cookie mix will make a fun gift, love small candles like this one for our guest room. LOVE anything from Lollia. And, Bite is a great product but I'll probably gift/swap that too since I'm overloaded with lip products as well. This box was a win for me! If I get to try something new or love/use at least one item & the items I don't want are at least good quality and giftable, then I am very happy. I basically subscribe for the fun gifts for my girlfriends, hostess gifts and gifts for my adult daughters. It's money I would already spend on gifting, gives me tons of great ideas and I (too often) end up keeping quite a few items for myself. Having said that, I still hate the price increase and have been using codes every month. If I were paying full price, I might not be as happy.
 
 
So happy with my box! I got the towel and the Kendra Scott necklace with a black stone and gold. My quiz says I don't have pierced ears, I prefer necklaces and silver. I don't mind the gold, though, it's really pretty. 

 
I got the turkish towel from the resort box but not the regular box towel. I love the one I got and have been thinking about getting more but that brand is pretty pricey. How does the amazon one you bought compare and could you provide a link?

I'm also on the fence about resubbing. I quit earlier this year just because I needed to cut down on stuff. Buuuuuuut this month is my birthday and I would like another turkish towel. But then it might be better to just buy a turkish towel by itself.
Hi, I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm having trouble getting the amazon link to work, but it is the Silk and Cotton brand sold on Amazon. They have a ton of colors and they are $15.99. Be sure to get that brand because I read on a blog that several other sellers on Amazon are lesser quality. That blogger (mommysplurge I think) is the one who recommended these after doing a ton of research. I've got the resort box and the June box towel and I feel like the Amazon is better than both. It's not as lush as the resort towel, but it's much larger, dries faster and I don't need to baby it and worry about hurting it.

It's much, much softer and slightly thicker than the June towel. I had the opportunity to use the towel code last month and figured I'd rather just pay a few bucks more and get the Amazon towel that I like better. Lastly, it's not white like both the other towels. I feel weird having white bath towels. I let my hubby try the June towel (we use separate towels because he works in healthcare and I'm a germ freak...I'm weird like that) Anyway, he liked it, but gave it back. With the Amazon towel, I let him try it out to see if we should order more and he refuses to give it back. He even complained about how hard it was to go back to a regular towel while the turkish one was in the wash! Too funny!

 
I got the earrings. They're not for me. I love the cookie mix, but I'll probably be gifting. I love the candle and already gifted. The small container is great. Seals really well. The lotion looks fancy, but too strong of a flower scent for me.

That's really sweet that you already gifted the candle when you like it so much. I just took my containers out of the dish washer and it appears to still have a tight seal, which is a good sign. But, the lid of the dipper thing fell to the bottom and kind of melted. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
MUSTHAVEYT promo is working for me on my regular email that I had signed up with back in December. I used it for a 3-month sub and then cancelled, and haven't used it since... So maybe after so many months it resets and you're counted as "new" again?? I haven't pulled the plug yet to sign up again cause I don't really want to get the August box. Anyone know how long this promo is good for, and at what time I should sign up to safely ensure I start with September??

Thanks!

My understanding is that they are sold out of August. But, you can be positive you will receive Sept if you uncheck the box on the lower right hand side of the order screen that says something to the effect of "put me on a waiting list for an earlier box." That box is auto checked, so you have to manually uncheck it in order to ensure you get he next month's box.
