Also, the

Amalfi Bar with pink peppercorns, lemon, and white chocolate is insanely delicious. the combination sounded frightening at first, but the pepper and the lemon go perfectly with the richness of the white chocolate.
Interesting, this one was my least favorite. The peppercorns overpowered everything imo. I don't like peppermint so I gave those bars to my mom. The last bar I loved! I'm kind of on a salt/chocolate kick right now. I'm about to order more from the site right now!
 
Ugh- my box has been in Ca since the 14th- I was convinced it was lost. It finally just started moving again- it looks like its not being delivered til the 24th- soooooooo disappointing. Come on already- chip luxury box...chip!!

 
Please keep all trade talk to the B/S/T area. 

I got the one that this blogger got as well.

It's nice but it's just not my style and the envelope one is super cute.

I got my box and I like everything. The cuff is cute, the soap is in a really nice glass bottle, and the lotion I got is coconut scented which I like, but I wish I had gotten the lavender, orange or vanilla instead.
I'll probably regift the candle. I know I'm going to regift part of the chocolate set. Mine had peppermint with dark chocolate, milk choc with salted macadamia and then the lemon one. I'm going to send part of the set to another gift exchange person I got who loves chocolate, and give the lemon ones to my boyfriend.
All in all I like the box. The clutch is probably my least favorite since I don't really care for the style I got. I really wanted the envelope one, but that's just how these things go.
 
My box shipped on the 7th from California. I live in Ohio and it JUST got here, today. Oi. That clutch and cuff, um. No. Just no. Haha.

 
I live in Ohio too and mine will not be here now until Christmas Eve. They just delayed it again... Smartpost is so bad.

 
I have the worst luck ever!! One scent I absolutely hate is lavender and of course my soap and lotion are both lavender! My Deborah Lippmann set is the Naked nail polish and a nude lipstick, which I was hoping they WOULDN'T be. Then I got the clutch with the stones all over it and 3 of them fell off. I also don't like the chocolate. What happened to just plain chocolate?!

I'm not complaining, I can give most of the stuff away I just wish I had gotten different scents/colors. It was a lot of fun waiting for it though!
 
I got my box today:

- Got the Deborah Lippmann Midnight Confessions set (really like the colors, especially the witches brew polish)

- The Tocca candle in Yma (a guava and red current scent) - was really disappointed, i use tocca perfumes daily in either collette, giulietta, or florence...so getting this one broke my heart because they make some really lovely scents and i was really looking forward to using it. The yma one is just too sweet.

- The Epicuren Afterbath Moisturizer in Lemongrass - I actually recieved a lemongrass giftset earlier this week from a friend from a brand called Basin White that i discovered on a trip to Vegas. Unfortunately i am not keen on lemongrass (i would have been happy to recieve basically any other flavor.) I am convinced lemongrass is the scent people gift so they are not tempted to keep it for themselves. So i guess my mom will be enjoying a year's supply of lemongrass soaps and lotions!

- The soap in figue (quite a pleasant smell, definitely won't go unused.)

- The silver pouch bag thing from stylemint  (guess i can re-gift that, if they wanted to do luxury they should have teamed up and made a special bag for us with like lauren merkin...i wouldn't classify a bag from stylemint as luxury, so this was kind of a waste because they soooo could have done better.)

-Heather Belle Niki Cuff bracelet (Charlize Theron definitely rocks it better than i ever will, this will probably lay around until one of my friends snags it while getting ready for a night out.)

-Vosges' mini chocolate library in the variey of flavors (this won't last long)

Overall, it was an okay box. Would have been quite happy if they hadn't wasted our time with these tacky clutches and if they maybe did profiles to figure out who to send which scents too (the lemongrass lotion was one of those "seriously, not again" moments).
We definitely win some and lose some with the box subs!

Yeah, I was supposed to get mine on the 18th, then they moved it again to the 20th. I hate it! It goes to Grove City, which is outside Columbus. I am in Cleveland. 3 hour drive. Then 3 days later it shows up in a town by Pittsburg, PA. Another 3 hour drive. Then 3 days after that FINALLY makes its way to Cleveland. I mean, I know I don't pay for shipping but 3 days to travel 3 hours. What are they transporting by? Horse and buggy!?!? (No offense to Amish or Amish subscribers) :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ohhhhh were in northern MI are you??
 
I'm trying to stay away from this board as to not know more than I already do about the box but did I read that some Michiganders have received their boxes already?  I'm not scheduled to get mine until Monday....this is a bummer.

 
sigh - box arrived completely destroyed:

My box arrived this morning and the soap had broken and got into EVERYTHING! Somehow it even got into the fabric lining of the jewelmint purse! Now I have to email pop sugar and ask for a refund :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
