Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[Sherr]

Items from the NM/PSMH box are already showing up on the MSA trading list.

I hadn't seen that but wow that was fast. I know I hate this box, I guess others do too. For those who didn't bite, swaps may very well work out.

Sigh.  I'm starting to wonder.  From summer, to mid October, then late October, then the first of November, and now mid November. . . . It's ok though. I'm just anxious to see what we're getting because Nina never disappoints.  I'm just glad she's sticking with Quarterly for at least one more box because I'm sure she's incredibly busy and is doing this more for her fans vs. money, fame, or glory (cuz she already has all that!). /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm actually really excited for the NM box, especially after the spoilers posted. Last year's box was fabulous but it was also heavy on certain decor styles that just don't jive with mine. (Like those plates! Not my pattern at all. Or the chevron throw which looked gorgeous and cozy and would work in other places but not in mine.) I understand the discontent over the items in this box being fairly run-of-the-mill. (Yes, another candle. Yes, another clutch. Yes, more mascara.) The only thing I'm not terribly excited about is the lip gloss but more because I'm worried that if it truly is amazing then I'll have yet another amazing lip gloss to add to the ever-growing list of lip glosses I must buy if I run out (or must buy in other colors). 

So yes, I can empathize but personally I am very happy with it!

Anyway, as for the Nina box - I'm definitely looking forward to it. I keep reading the Nina style pages in Marie Claire to see if I can get an idea of her perspective on themes this fall/winter. I still haven't a clue though!

quarterly needs to change their name to trimesterly.

Last night I almost cancelled, just had a bit of buyers remorse over spending $100 on one box. But, then I thought about and I can return it so there really is no risk... I signed up a few weeks ago so I haven't been waiting as long as most of you. The wait is fine with me, but I can understand that a lot of people have been waiting many months and I really hope this box is all that we are expecting it to be!

They opened up 200 more boxes yesterday, but I wonder if they're actually adding boxes, or if it's because people have given up and decided to unsubscribe.  I guess it doesn't bother me so much because I still have things unused from the last two Nina boxes.  Since we already got a spoiler, I suppose I need to stop fretting that Quarterly is going to cancel this box last minute or something. 

This is going to be a great parcel month for me and it might actually be better to get Nina's box later in the month because the next week will be full of deliveries. I broke down and ordered the Vanity Affair box from Birchbox, plus I used my Popsugar Nike card from last month to get some vintage looking tennis shoes.  And, I broke down and bought the Sephora Mega Skincare favorites at the sale last night. . sigh.

Yeah it sucks that the shipping date keeps getting pushed back farther and farther but it doesn't bother me all that much, if I'm being honest. For one, my money is still in my bank account and I have the power to cancel any time I want without penalty. And even if you really hate it, Quarterly has their return policy so there's a really low risk at play here. 

Then there's the fact that it's Nina Garcia's box. I don't think I've ever been let down by her since I've started subscribing with #NGQ02. I've traded for/away and used/gifted so many of the items from her box that it's worth the wait to me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think her box is the one subscription box left that really helps me discover new things I never would have otherwise found out about. 

My most used item from her boxes thus far? My iPhone 5S has been protected by her uniquely designed Otterbox case ever since the third box and I always get compliments on how colorful it is. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I couldn't agree more.  While there have been a few things in the boxes that I haven't liked, I can't argue that those things weren't fashion forward (I'm thinking of the raffia fish pouch & the Muito cool hat).  My friend bought a new Samsung 5 the week before I got the box and was totally thrilled to get the free Otterbox case.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Although I would love my box now, I never regret ordering Nina's box. It's the one box I actually have patience for. Surprisingly

me too!

I just remembered to order today, but I still got the box! I'm kind of glad they pushed it back so I had more time to think about getting it.  I hope it is like her first box and perfect for fall/winter. I wasn't super impressed at first with the summer box, but I'm still using the stuff months later so it proved worth it in the end.

I just finished using the hair treatment that was in her summer box. Yes, it did smell just a little strange, but it did wonders for my hair and I love that it had such staying power /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Finally caved since they opened it up for more orders. I didn't realize that I had a $10 credit, so I applied that. Basically it paid for the shipping. I guess I don't remember them charging shipping last time I ordered.

They charge shipping if you're buying a one-time box. 

 

[jebest]

Ahhh I caved and reordered, I cancelled to get NM box, but man I am so sad about spending money on that box, and I just couldn't resist. I will figure out a way to make the money back so hubby doesn't kill me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have high hopes for this box honestly, and what I really really want? Some jewelry! Can't wait for it to finally start shipping.

Ah...I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.

Quarterly Hi! In order to secure one final winter essential, we were unable to ship on time and have delayed the box to later this month. We are just as anxiously awaiting this item to arrive at our warehouse so that we can send these boxes out to you as soon as possible! Please bear with us. It will still arrive before the holidays!
