Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[MissKellyC]

I just checked mine.. It said pre-shipment yesterday and left Compton. Today it says out for delivery! That is crazy fast!!! =D

 

[subbox]

Ahhh! I want my box. It left Compton on Wednesday and there have been no updates since. 

 

[Vikki120306]

Mine is out for delivery today, too!!!

 

[queenofserendip]

With all the boxes out for delivery today, I'm surprised we don't have any spoilers yet!

 

[MissKellyC]

I bet there will be later! Mail won't be here til after I've gone to work and I don't get home til 11. So I can't post anything til after that. =P

Nina really knows curate a subscription box. If I could only have one, hers would be it!

I am looking forward to more pictures today and of course the delivery of my own box!

My latest update on mine says the 21st and says electronic info received but doesn't have a place it was received. Did anyone else have that? I'm wondering if mine is closer than I think and that my info just isn't updating.

I know! Yes, this box does cost more than twice as much as my other "pricey boxes" like PS or FFF, but it's only once a quarter, which helps. This is truly a well-curated box. What a perfect mix of beauty, home, fashion and personal items. My only gripe is the t-shirt - that is NOT a good idea (unless Quarterly wants to ask for our shirt sizes). Why not just throw in a card for a free shirt from the company? But that aside, this is pretty much a perfect box.

Still waiting on updated tracking info... I received my FFF box today, which shipped Wednesday. I never thought there was a chance I'd receive FFF before NGQ. Ha!

That happened to me, and when it updated again it was one state over. I might actually get my box tomorrow! Not counting on it, but maybe.

Well, my birchbox showed up in my mailbox even though the tracking said it was in a different city, so I'm hoping that's the case here. Maybe my post office is just too lazy to scan before it's on a truck. I'm ok with that as long as i get my box! I have never been this excited to get anything in the mail.

Thank you so much! I have a paranoia with USPS. I have lost a few boxes and such. Also my post office doesn't like to deliver my packages so they can sit there for a long time without me receiving notifications. If I have an idea where the box is I can estimate when I need to go to the post office for pick up.

 

[phanne]

I also want it before the weekend so I can play with it for two straight days!

Okay ladies, so I don't know if I'm truly crazy or just a full on girly girl lol... my fiance definitely thinks I'm crazy if he didn't before.  Oh well, our wedding is in July so he's pretty much stuck with me now.  Anyway, since we both work close to our home, we go home for lunch and I was able to swoon over my precious box for about 10 mins... Obviously, it wasn't enough time for me to take pictures of everything, but I got 11 items shot before I had to leave!  Just don't mind them - they're sloppy because between eating my lunch and getting weird looks from my fiance and questions of "why are you taking pictures of objects..?" I didn't have much time to make sure they were quality pics.

The box as a whole when I first opened it up...



The bracelet which I LOVE - finally something that fits my tiny wrists!!  Would have liked silver but I still love love this one...


The Laura Mercier palette which is So awesome.  The case and everything is just so amazing...


OPI - not my color so this will go up on my trade list, but still a great item...


Pen - this was taken on my car ride back to work, lol.. silly me... to be honest, doesn't feel like any special quality of pen, but everyone can use pens...


Perfume sample...


Serum... I'm not really into skin care things so this will go on my trade list also...


Shark tooth necklace - This is the one item I am really "ehh" about so far.  I'm kinda surprised at the value placed on this because it honestly doesn't seem to match it.  I don't even think the weight of the tooth is enough to pull the string taught.  But oh well...


Soap - a lot bigger than I was expecting.  Not into the scent though...


Tea - I love tea and these are SO fun!...


Shirt - I wasn't too thrilled when I heard about it, and it's def a bigger size than I actually fit, but I like it enough to use around the house or on errand days...


LOVE this wallet... it's just so beautiful and springy, so nice to look at after all this cold and snow we've gotten this past winter in Jersey.


So that's all for now folks... Like I said, I didn't get a chance to take a pic of everything and I won't be home till late tonight (trying on my wedding dress for the first time!!!) so I'm sure by the time I get back, there will be lots of pics up.  If not, then I'll post up the rest /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I am SO happy with this box and don't regret the price at all.  Even though I won't use certain things or they may not appeal to me, the things I WILL actually use, more than make up for it for me.  Hope you all get yours soon!!

I completely agree with you about the t-shirt. The fact that there are so many other fantastic products makes it much easier to shrug off but I would be pretty annoyed if it didn't fit and it was in a box with fewer items. If it happens to fit, it will be a gym shirt or something to lounge/sleep in.

I was shocked to get my FFF box before NGQ also! It would sure be nice if the PS Resort Box made a surprise early arrival. I am loving Nina's box so much that I am think I might drop the monthly PS Box and my Fortune Cookie Soap Box. That would leave me with NGQ, FFF, Julep, KnitCrate, Barkbox and then I would probably pick up the special edition PS Boxes if the quality is maintained. Yeah, that seems like a lot, lol.

I actually went back and changed my Julep selection to skip April's box after seeing we will be getting a nail polish in Nina's box, so that save me $20!

Thanks for the pictures! Now that I see the shirt I wonder if they are going for that oversized look. I think it might be cute tucked in the front with skinny jeans and a cardigan. I'll have to experiment!

Yea, that's exactly what I think they were trying to acheive with the shirt and to be honest, it really surprised me when I first saw it... it's not a boxy shirt and has some shape to it.  I like it more than I thought I would.
