Mine is sitting in Reno too....I'm in Miami. Ugh...Originally Posted by catyanne /img/forum/go_quote.gif
So my box has been sitting in Reno for 4 days..."in transit" Normally my boxes come pretty quick (10 days tops and that was just once). Should I be concerned. I am on the east coast but have usually gotten my boxes in pretty good time.

The thing this box hinges on for me, is the stuff that comes in different scents/colors. I don't know how to do a spoiler on my phone so I won't get into much detail but if the scents/colors I get don't suit me, then I'm pretty much screwed. If they do that will be great and I'm glad I got it. As for the clutch, I don't like any of those. :/

I think they're super cute, would I pay $60-90 for one? Definitely not.

I think the idea is that you would use a clutch on a nice night out on the town or to a party, or another night out when you wouldn't also have the diaper bag.
I believe there are other sub boxes that cater to mommies and kiddo's. Maybe that's more suited for you? I do think this box is slightly geared toward a someone with more disposable income, due to the price tag, which typically is someone possibly older, maybe kid-less and with more flexibility with disposable income. I know those kidlets are expensive!

Me too. I think they'd look cute sitting on my little front table in between uses. If I had kids, I'd leave them little notes and treats inside for them to check for now and again, a little I love you note with a little bag of candy or a toy car for a boy, that kind of thing. Everyone knows how kids love mail, it'd be like a tiny interfamily mailbox, lol. I actually like all of the ones offered and would be happy with any of them. I'd even think about buying a second box just to get different colors/options and to use for nice, quality hostess gifts if someone didn't like their box if my available funds were a little healthier at the moment. I've been readying myself for a trip and buying a winter wardrobe when you live in the tropics is expensive! It's going to drive me crazy not knowing what I got until February. Maybe I can have Gram open it up on Skype for me and show me the goodies. I usually let her pick out something she loves from my boxes so we'll see what she picks this time. She's exactly like me but a bit older, obviously, so we have pretty similar tastes. She's young at heart.Originally Posted by JessP /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I agree with you. But I would pay $90 plus $10 shipping for it if it came along with 6 - 7 other high end, interesting products that I'd enjoy but might not pay full price for usually, things that are a treat for me. I do think that each product is worth the $14.28 inclusive of shipping that it ends up being when I divide the price paid into the number of items received. If I had to hunt down these items individually I'd have to pay full price plus shipping from each website. I find that these subs introduce me to new brands and concepts, for instance, I'd NEVER have even thought about possibly paying $50 for a mask before Sample Society and I've fallen in love with the Ren Glycolactic Skin Renewal Mask which makes my skin absolutely glow and the bottle actually lasts a really long time so per use it's not as bad. It's a miracle worker for me, this is what it does - This bio active peel mask works to reduce blackheads, fine lines, congestion and scarring to reveal improved skin tone.
So, when anticipating these products, I can't wait to see what I end up falling in love with this time. I can't lie, using luxe products does make me feel a bit pampered and I love it especially when I am not paying full price for the experience. I agree with the ladies who have said that it's fun to get things that you normally wouldn't have splurged on for yourself.

The best things I've found for my blackheads are 1 - Shea Terra RoseHips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Wash and Mask, although using it with a Clarisonic or Olay face brush might be too aggressive and cause redness so just use with your hands 2 - Clarisonic and before that my cheaper Olay version, really gets into pores, if I travel without it and wash my face with my hands I really notice a difference, I got mine with my Birchbox points and a special so it wasn't as expensive as usual, 3 - regular masks with the Ren Glycolactic Skin Renewal Mask. It's so fruity and citrusy and is easy and not irritating to me. I leave it on for longer than the 10 minutes that they suggest, I've noticed that a lot of girls online do. It makes me want to try more Ren products, it's that great. 4 - the Biore Pore Strips, there is something very satisfying about cleaning out your pores instantly and seeing what you've removed.
I kind of want to get my first ever facial, but really, I have a lot of great products and what do they do that I can't do at home other than pamper me? My local guy uses Aveda and he doesn't do extractions. That's what I'd want a professional to do for me, extractions without worrying about redness or scarring. But he also does a neck, shoulders, facial and foot and leg massage while he's waiting on the mask to do it's job so I think he is totally worth his expertise for the massage alone. Maybe some day. Sorry about going on an OT ramble, just wanted to help out with anything I can recommend for those pesky blackheads, I wish I wasn't born with skin that is prone to them.

This stuff is amazing. Not abrasive at all so my sensitive skin could handle it and it works!

Mine has been sitting in City of Industry for 4 days with now movement. Even the December box moved much faster. Crappost is really the worst plus my order from baublebar is apparently out for delivery in Escondido, CA which would be great if I lived there and not 50+ miles away. Bad day all around for meSo my box has been sitting in Reno for 4 days..."in transit" Normally my boxes come pretty quick (10 days tops and that was just once). Should I be concerned

Just got my box and I am sure happy I didn't buy all this seperately.
I will be regifting almost everything except the cuff and the chocolate. I got a weird bag from Jewelmint it looks like a bottle and has a very narrow bottle neck like opening.I don't like it and can't figure out why we would get a bag like this at all.I would have been alot happier with one of the other ones the brochure shows.But I did get alot of things to add to my mother in law's gifts so that's a good thing.I wouldn't have paid what the list price is for the cuff bracelet but I will wear it.

I ordered shoes from Myhabit. They were sent via smart post and the last time they were scanned were 10 days ago at the post office in my city. Nothing after that. Smart post is horribleOriginally Posted by martianeskimo /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Received mine today and I've gotta say, I was kind of "meh" about it on reading the spoilers, but now that I've actually opened and touched everything I'm happy. If I were offered this knowing what I know now, I'd still probably spend the $100 to buy it, only because I got the variations of each item that I wanted. Picture and more details in the spoiler.
I really like the Jewelmint silver clutch - I'll probably only use it once per year because I don't go to many fancy events, but it matches my style pretty well and will be useful when my cheap black satin clutch will not do. I received the Deb Lippman set in witches Brew and Under A Spell, both cool reds, which is PERFECT for me and exactly what I wanted. The soap is the Olive & Lavender, the lotion lavender, and candle Stella (a blood orange that smells fantastic and I want to eat it). I'm going to email the bracelet company and see if I can exchange mine for a silver one - if that is possible then I will call this box perfect!
And here's my personal valuation of everything
Chocolate: I put high-end stuff at $2/bar, but I'm pretty sure I won't be a fan of the white one, so that means $12 for me ($2x the six I'll eat)
Soap: $10 (it's a great size)
Candle: $20. It is supposed to burn 50-100% longer than my go-to candle, the B&BW 3-wick, which I usually buy at $10/ea. Plus I really like the scent and it has cute packaging.
Lotion: $10, assuming it really is this orgasmic after-bath experience that the Amazon reviews rave about
Clutch: $5, since it will basically be used three times ever and it's not ideal for me (kind of on the small side - I'm just hoping my Galaxy phone will fit in it)
Bracelet: $10. If I can't swap it for silver I'll be able to trade for other goodies or sell hopefully.
Lipstick/nail polish: $25 for set ($15 lipstick $10 polish), but I've never tried any Lippman stuff so this might end up being higher
That gives this box a personal value of $92 for me. Not what I was hoping for, but if the lotion/soap/nail polish/lipstick blows my mind it could go up. I'm still happy though, because I'd probably never try any of these brands if out purchasing independently.
