PopSugar Neiman Marcus Holiday Edition Luxury Box 2014

[QuixoticGirly]

What does the candle smell like.. I think that is the balsm and fir?? I wonder if there are verations... I soooo don't want the patchouli

I love the scent. I didn't even realize it was fir until you mentioned it, haha. It's just so pretty I didn't care how it smells : )To me the fir smell is not overpowering. I think it smells kind of like men's cologne, but outdoorsy too. I'm terrible at describing scents. It kind of reminds me of that mahogany teakwood candle at B&BW that everyone calls "hot guy", but it's not overpowering like that one. I haven't burned it yet.

In case anyone is curious... the Chantecaille from this Neiman Marcus box and the Birchbox Vanity Affair are different sizes and types. Neiman Marcus = Brilliant Gloss 1 oz ($33) and BB = Luminious Gloss .26 oz ($34).  My NM was  "love" and my BB was "Lychee"

Per site: Brilliant (NM): Brilliant Gloss is made from a hydrating and enriching formula that imparts long-lasting color and brilliant shine. Safely plump lips for a perfect pout. This slick gloss also includes Green Tea extract to protect delicate skin.

• A hydrating wand lip gloss for soft, supple, shiny lips
• Innovative jellified system creates long-lasting wear
• Exceptionally soft brush will never clump
• Angelina Jolie's favorite glosses are CHARM and LOVE
• As seen in Skyfall: CRYSTALLINE

Luminous (BB): An extraordinary new long wearing lip gloss formula that is both super hydrating and dramatically brilliant. The Luminous Lip Glosses add the perfect pop of shine and splash of color to any pout. 

• An entirely new formulation that offers up to 6 hours of long lasting shine
• Innovative shiny polymers created a fluid 3-d like glass effect for volume
• New flexible doe foot applicator

I'm really glad I didn't purchase this box. I do like Lancer products but now I have an extra $250 to blow on that if I want. I do not need another photo frame or candle, the clutch is fun but not my style. Oh well pop sugar next time.

Got my box today, shipping was CRAZY fast this time. Kudos to FedEx and USPS. Anyway my hot chocolate tin has a huge dent, and my glass box has noticeable scratches (chips) in the glass. I emailed them, and now just have to wait for a response. What is everyone's experience with PS, and damages. They just aren't giftable, and the scratches don't look nice. Will I have to take pics, and then mail them back, and they will replace? Will they do nothing? 2 out of 8 is 1/4 of the box. Just wanted to know people's experience.

PS is really good about replacements in my experience. You'll prob have to send supporting pic & then they send you out a replacement. You usually don't have to ship back damaged item.

As has been the trend lately with Popsugar, I think everything is cute, but it doesn't "feel" like it's enough to be worth $250.

It feels like something is missing to me

Their limited edition boxes would be more tempting to me if they had significantly more items than the regular box - rather than just having significantly more expensive items. Their monthly box is $40 and usually has around six items in it. This was $250 and had nine? I know this is a luxury box, but still.

I like the chevron candle better but I do love the way this one smells.

Your candle is beautiful. I want to get more. What does it smell like?

My box came today and I gotta say I love it.  Some of the items are things I may not have necessarily picked out myself but now that I have them in my hands I think they ll be fun to use and step out of my box a little bit. I looooove the candle, I d never buy it for myself at the price but I m more than happy to display it and burn it and can't wait to use the pretty container once the candle is gone.  I also love love love the box its bigger than I expected and perfect for my vanity.  Hope everyone else gets there boxes soon and enjoys the items.  Everything is beautiful quality and I m happy I got this one definitely a nice treat for myself.  Happy holidays to us ladies!

WTF?!?!?! Now THAT makes me mad /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Glad I signed up the fist day it was out!!!

I just received the email too and it said the sale was only for Circle members but I had only signed up for emails last week. Tempted to make up my own 'box' with a Shy necklace, Nest candle, holiday socks and glass water bottle, since I missed those in past Popsugar boxes. I already ordered the mirrored box on Amazon in black.

It is really upsetting, they probably cannot sell them.

$50 off? I wish they had an offer like this last year. That box was so much better!

try TWO the day they came out.  That's like $100 + taxes are less by like $7 each box so like $114 less money I would have spent.
