I was able to order the Otterbox case for the iPhone 5c, even though it didn't say it was an option. I think the code is just good for any otterbox case on the site. So Psyched, I didn't think I was going to be able to use it!! :w00t:

I'm really happy with the box overall. That shoe. . oh, that shoe. I got the gold flat and while I appreciate that it's a design collaboration, I have absolutely no idea what I'd do with it. I have plenty of dust catchers. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And the hat. .well, it's not for me but I could see someone really stylish make it work.
I'm happy with the lipstick and nail polish and I'll use everything else. The shaving gel smells amazing, I'm excited to try that. I gave the Otterbox code to a friend who just got the S5 and needs a case, he was thrilled.
Nina has set such a high standard in previous boxes and I think expectations are they'll keep getting better. I do agree this one was not as amazing as I'd hoped for, but it was still solid.
For the next box, I'd like to see a nice piece of jewelry, more high end cosmetics, and a beautiful scarf.

The otterbox code worked for me, but it didn't let me add on a waterproof dry box for free (as soon as I entered the coupon code, it removed it from my cart), so I don't think that's an option, at least not any more.

I ordered last night at 11:00 EST. It didn't popup for me, and I called immediately after ordering and the guy on the phone was able to order me a dry box free of charge and said he made note that the pop up box wasn't working. It's worth a call, if you're really interested. I can't decide if I'm more excited for that or the phone case, since I have like 20 phone cases and 0 dry boxes.
My thoughts. I loved the box. I'm kind of disappointed in the quality of the palm tree clutch. The Pop Sugar summer one is far better made. It's softer and the zipper is so much easier to pull. I got the pink with white trim fish clutch, and as ridiculous as it is, I freaking love it. I got the gold shoe, which is totally worthless, but it's so pretty. I got the vanilla and almond candle and I want to eat it it smells so good. I got the lipstick in speakeasy which is beautiful. And I kind of love the hat. I may be the only one. It's big and ridiculous, but it's really well made. Was it the best Nina box? Definitely not, but I will use every single thing in the box, which is more than I can say for NGQ02.
Only thing missing? A piece of jewelry.

YAY, that is great news! I am buying the box off someone and that was the only thing that was making me nervous.

My palm clutch is messed up, too. I inspected it and on one side the fabric is up by the zipper, so it gets caught in the zipper no matter what, making it nearly impossible to open/close. It is sewn perfectly on the other side. >__<
I think the palm clutches might have really bad quality control. Just poorly sewn, so I can't even really use it.

I used it last night and it added it to my order. Maybe it was the last night for the freebie?

FYI, the earbuds are on sale for $49.50 on Gilt right now if anyone who didn't get this box wants to pick some up.

Oh... that is... terribly coincidental?? Or are sharks somehow super fashionable and I'm totally out of the loop?? >.<
hahaha sharks are super fashionable these days thanks to givenchy's shark shirt from a year or two ago

but why couldn't nina have sent a pineapple print something? or flamingo print?
I love my box much more in person.
I got the navy shark clutch w/ light blue raffia. It is so ridiculous I adore it! I won't wear it on it's own but it will be a bag I carry within my bag. Can't wait to whip it out to grab my face powder or lighter etc.
The Nest Candle is in Moss & Mint. Smells really nice. I love a good mint candle in the summer.
The lipstick is called Kiss It. The swatches on line make it look like a plum berry, but it's an orange red. Pretty color but I don't do reds. Will give it to a friend who will love it.
Got the white shoe. It's freaking ridiculous. And it smells vaguely scented, like pineapple. Does anyone else have a 'scented' shoe?
The earbuds are a total win for me. Beautiful. Will use often.
And I ordered the phone case last night and this morning I got a shipping email!!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
All in all, I am very happy

Got my box yesterday. I like it a lot more than I thought I would! Loving the vegan/cruelty-free items; that was one reason I was excited for a summer box; less chance of getting animal-based items.
The shaving gel doesn't foam up, but smells really nice.
I used the Otterbox code to get a Symmetry case for my Galaxy S4, and the dry case option popped up, but I didn't see it in my confirmation email, so only time will tell. Happy the code worked, though I did love those special cases Nina designed.
Used the texture 'dry shampoo' spray and the sunscreen today; the spray smells so good and the sunscreen is just sunscreen, but I'm so fair I'll take all the sunscreen I can get.
The shoe is rather pointless (I got the black variety).
I got the fish bone clutch which I don't love, but maybe it'll grow on me.
With my June Glossybox, I ordered a Nest candle from Bergdorf Goodman, and am now addicted, so was very pleased to get a mini in this box (got the mint moss scent).
Headphones are cool--the cord is a little long, but they're much much better than the ones that came with my phone. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
And I may be in the minority, but I was just thinking about how I wanted a baseball cap for hikes and outdoor sporty activities, so I really like the hat!
Haven't gone through the rest of the stuff yet, but overall this was a really fun box to receive and unwrap. All in all, super happy!

Finally got my box! I got all the variations I wanted Gold shoe, pink fish pouch with white raffia, mint moss candle. The only exception is the CK One lipstick which I got in Speak Easy...too dark for me. I am on hold with otterbox now trying to get the dry case to add to my phone case order. I hope they honor it!

At first I HATED the fish pouch/clutch but the more I look at it the more I like it. I got the pink one and it'll be fun to pull out of a bag at some point. I still don't get the shoe or hat but meh. Once my PS box gets here though I'll be swimming in sunscreen.
