Love it! I wish the lipstick was a better brand though.

Agreed--- MADE is super boring IMO... I was secretly hoping for a full size Melted ... Everything else in the box looks super awesome... I'm wondering if there are color variations for the hat??

 
I agree re: Make... hopefully I can sell it on Ebay and put it toward buying a similar color of Ilia.

 
Well darn it to heck, I was hoping to stay away from the spoilers  :laughno: .  Sadly I am not jumping up and down for this one.  The cleanser has ingrediants I am allergic to, the perfume is bleh and depending on the lip color looks like it may be three strikes and out.  Love the hat, though it is 100 degrees in Dallas.  Not a fan of the scarf print or color, hoping it will grow on me.  Delivery moved to 9/12 and I think I am okay with that now. 

 
i feel like it is missing something, something shiny...i can't quite put my finger on it but it does not feel complete

also, i thought the original picture with the girl w/the clutch + ring might have "something" to do with box but i guess they really tricked us there!! 

any pics of real box?

 
I might get mine today as it's at my local post office. Probably tomorrow though.

I'm not too keen of the scarf .. we had a blueish-black scarf in a monthly box before which is all I need living in a non foggy part of NorCali.

Don't have a hat for the same reason, but this will be nice for trips to the mountains in winter. Fall around here is pretty much the warmest time of the year .. So this box feels more winter appropriate to me ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

All in all, I'm looking forward to it. Hope I like the perfume ... not sure I'll keep the scarf.

Still need a wallet ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for posting the spoilers, it was nice surprise, especially since my box seems to be at a stand still. Anyway, it is a lovely box, and the dollar value is there. But, as others have posted, it is kind of similar to a monthly. I was also hoping it would SCREAM FALL, and I feel it barely whispers it.

I agree.. the box IS lovely but other than the hat, it does not really scream Fall to me. I love gummies! But that does not scream Fall to me. I suppose the lip color is a nice color for Fall and Winter. 

The only item I am iffy on, is the perfume...but if I don't care for it I'll give it to one of my sisters. 

Someone else said they felt like the box was missing something - I agree...though I am not sure what it is. 

 
It seems this is a polarizing box! I happen to love it... but I think a lot of it has to do with climate.  To me, I expect cold weather accessories for fall, but I live in NYC, where it will soon be cold.  Plus, knit caps have become trendy around these parts, but I only have the $5 street stall versions that make my head itchy.  I'm so happy to have a nice, soft version!  The products I don't love (perfume, lipstick), I'm happy to sell, and I know I'm picky about these things, so I'm never upset if they're included.  I don't expect PS to take into account all of my quirks and preferences.  It's a grab bag, so I expect to not love 100% of the products.  

I am also receiving the September box, but I wear scarfs allllll the time, so I could own 1 million.  I wore scarfs the last two days even though they were the hottest/most humid days NYC has seen all summer.

Luckily, the scarf and hat will be products that are easily sold or gifted! 

That said, I'm so happy I didn't know about PS for the last fall box -- I thought it was a dud! I wouldn't use a silk bag (I am hard on my bags) and hate bubble baths.  I have a ring just like the RZ ring, etc.  It's tough with these boxes!

 
As much as I love Joie I think I would rather have a bag (maybe a fall tote) or a piece of jewelry as a knit hat just screams winter to me. Maybe as I live in a climate that will be warm all fall or certainly not cool enough until maybe late November to wear.

 
I think it's a pretty nice box. I agree that a piece of jewelry would have really rounded out the box. I only wear one perfume so I will probably gift that one. I think we will see more things like scarves, hats, and gloves after huge failures like the Rachael Yeomans Quarterly box.  It is hard to find things that are one-size-fits-all so I think accessories are a nice bet.  Although I think some kind of slipper would have been nice for Fall. Or some cozy socks. 

I'm glad my Marchesa clue panned out. Wasn't sure if anything on the Pinterest board would have an actual connection to the box.

I haven't posted on here since last week, but trust me, I was steadily scrolling around waiting for the spoilers!

I'm soooo excited for this box!

I'm not shocked at all that we got a scarf in this box, lol. Told you guys so!

I'm a bit worried about the hat. I posted earlier that the Joie item might be a knit beanie, but I only wear slouchie ones because regular ones don't fit my thick curly hair -__- We'll see if this works, or I'm forced to try to stretch it out, LOL.

I'm kind of meh on some of the items but it usually changes when I get the box, but if I really don't feel for them, they're going in for xmas. Almost the season!

I haven't got any movement on my box since Sunday when it got to Sac, but estimated delivery says tomorrow, maybe it will come today, maybe tomorrow. Either way, I like the box. Let's see if I love it when it gets here :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I love it all (except the gummy candy, yuck, bf will probably eat them even if they're girly).

I'm actually really excited about the hat!  If we have a terrible winter again this year, it will def get a ton of use.  I only wish the lipstick was a gloss, or another type of product but if the color is great it may not matter much.

 
I haven't had any movement since Friday and since I live in a rural area on the east coast, I have a feeling it will take forever to get here.

 
I think this is the nicest LE box they’ve done all year, though I’m not sad I skipped it. It just doesn’t get cold where I live. The box feels more wintery than autumnal, which is sad because NGQ04 is going to be a winter box… it feels like the luxury boxes just skipped fall entirely. 

I do think the scarf is beautiful, and there are a few items I’ll trade for on MSA if I can pick them up easily. I’m definitely curious about the cleanser, since PS seems to save the best skincare/bath products for the LE boxes. 

 
I adore the scarf and hat! Throwing a scarf on over simple jeans and a tee always makes me feel more put together. I only wear beach hats but I am going to embrace the beanie because it is so lovely. I hope it's as soft as it looks. I'm super excited for the cleanser as I've literally just run out of my Avene cleanser & the reviews on this one are fantastic. I'm not as excited for the perfume, lipstick or candy. I'll probably gift or trade those items. They are nice, I'm just all set with my own brands & gummies are meh to me. I do agree that one more nice home or accessory item would really have rounded out this box & made it over the top for me. I'm happy with the box but not super excited about it.

 
Meh. It's missing something to me. It feels like a regular monthly box. It doesn't help that the scarf and the hat are mostly useless to me even in the dead of "winter" (hot climate). I would have much preferred a wallet, clutch, or jewelry. Fuzzy socks would have been nice. Plus a fall themed food instead of the gummy candy.

 
For me, it's that it's missing a home item. A jasmine-scented candle would have been great!

Also, I've noticed that the 'big ticket' item in the LE boxes since the Resort box has had the value grossly inflated. The Sisco & Berluti bracelets, the Soixante Neuf necklace and the Marchesa scarf for ~$150? No, their actual value is somewhere closer to $30 or so. The LE box from last winter and backwards didn't have this same 'one big item that covers 1/3 of the value of the box' but smaller items that seemed valued more reasonably.

I honestly am intrigued by the perfume. I think it's cool that it is fairly new. It is a unisex fragrance though and is being marketed as a gourmand scent with vanilla though it does have patchouli.

I will use the cleanser- I mean, why not :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Disappointed about the lipstick - that's something that should not be valued that high.

Yes, a necklace would be nice... But I wish there was some sort of makeup palette. I'm a new subscriber to limited edition boxes and palettes are something I always wish I had received.
