Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[naturalactions]

@JENNYJENNY  I am on the fence. There was a lot of stuff in the box!!!  14 items!  But nothing really "wowed" me.  I will be interested to see where people put the value of the box.  I think I like #ngq02 better.  Some items were full-size but others were sample or smaller sizes.

I agree that with just reading the items, nothing has wow'd me.

Spoiler

I know people have torn boxes apart that have included some of these items before, so I am curious to see if Nina gets more grace than say Popsugar or FFF.

I am specifically talking about a candle in a summer box, shaving gel, and drugstore items (in this case sunscreen).

However, it is so hard to decide without pictures so I am eagerly waiting for those and will reserve judgement until then. So many items seem to be made especially for this box, I cannot even find a cost for them, but it is definitely worth the cost!!

I really thought it would be more specifically World Cup related.

I was really hoping it would be. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Now its time to see if there are variations!!

Here's my cost breakdown:

Spoiler

I'm calculating a rough value at $450... here's the breakdown:
 
Hat - $30? (Can't find on Spenglish site)[/size]
iPhone Case - $50
Towelette - less than $1 (pack of 7 retails for $5)
Nail Polish - $10.50
Hawaain Tropics Silk Sunscreen - $9
Lipstick - $16 (although some colors are on sale at Ulta for $8.95)
Candle - $34
Shave Gel - $20
Joico - $16.00
Oribe Spray - $21.50
Ella Earbuds - $100
Clutch - $20? Can't find on the website
Shark Clutch - $110 (this one isn't on the website, but the ones very similar are all on sale for around $110)
Desk Ornament - $10? (Total estimate, can't find this anywhere)

Okay. I put up one overall shot of the items on my blog:

I don't have time now to post individual photos of items but I'm sure others will. As you will see, some items are full-sized and others are smaller or sample sizes.

I'm most excited about the otterbox for the iPhone. It's worth $49.99 and I looked it up and love it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> thank you so much for posting what is in this box.

Thanks for posting the pictures @Maenad25.

Based on the spoilers alone ... this is probably my first and last box.  The prior ones looked good but it just seems like this has a lot of the standard stuff (i.e. sunscreens/lotions/nail polish).  Maybe I'll change my mind after receiving it ...

The editor also has a Special BB Code button (3rd from the left) that you can click that lets you select "Spoiler" from the drop down menu. It does all the bracket work for you. Also, @@maenad25, I love the kitty cat paws in the corner of your pic, thanks for posting it.

Super happy with the box! A couple things I won't use, but the value is there and the items I will use are well over the $90 (with coupon) I paid. I'm going to stay subscribed! Much better than a limited PS box I think.

 

[Deareux]

Seeing the contents now, I have no regrets on cancelling. While it is a good value and the items are unique, none of it really appeals to me and I probably wouldn't have used any of it. I did sign up for the 1000 Places, because I'm more of a Parisian than I am a tropical lover.

 

[ikecarus]

Now I want my box to arrive even more. XD This doesn't have the wow factor of NGQ02 but I think it's still amazing with its value and curation. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[LisaLeah]

I really like this box too! I think it's great.

The only product I won't use is the sun product due to the ingredients.

I'm pretty stoked about this too!  However I have an iPhone 5c, can never find good cases!  They're all for the 5 or 5s.  

 

[Sadejane]

Thanks for posting a spoiler!  It sounds like Nina stayed true to the theme of "Brazil" and summer fun.

I canceled again a few days before they shipped, so I didn't get this one. It has a great value, but a lot of the stuff I wouldn't use. I figured that would be the case since I'm not really a summer time girl. I am 100% in and looking forward to the fall box though! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here! I think the only thing I would *love* is the code for the otterbox. Can't wait for fall's!

 

[MissKellyC]

I'm excited to get mine!! I don't love it quite as much as the last two, but not every box will be a hit. There's definitely still several items in this one that I'll love and use though! YAY! can't wait!! =D

I feel the same way! I was debating whether or not to order a box when the subscription first came out and then the first and second box wowed me into purchasing a subscription..now I'm not so sure. There are a LOT of items with very high value, but I am just not impressed. I think of these items as ordinary items that are just overpriced because of the brand name. Also, I'm really sick of getting the ORIBE Dry texturtizing spray in almost every subscription I have ever tried! I hated it the first time I tried it but it just won't leave my life!

I will use just about everything in this box, and am in love with the contents, but... this box just doesn't say "fashion" to me. Nothing in here says fashion forward to me. But I don't think I will ever cancel this box because the value and excitement is consistently there for me, I just hope she'll go back to more fashion themes like her first box.
