Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[vanstoj]

Jennifer, Thanks for the pictures.  I couldn't find the earrings either.  I read your blog all the time and really like it!.  This box will be going back.  The earrings would have to be amazing for me to keep it.  Depending on the earrings retail cost, this box has a retail value of between $200-$250 and other than the the laundress sweater comb, the nude oil and maybe the earrings, I do not like these items.  Also, it is the end of 2014, a 2013 Pantone color mug feels dated at best and more like a bargain bin item.  Here's hoping for better from MSA, Arianna (which is now looking like a complete winner with the earbuds and the philosophy moisturizer) and Rosario Dawson.

For once I am so happy I didn't have the money for something! I cancelled last week.

Honestly, when I saw the picture of what's in the box, my first thought was, "Ew."

I lark here all of the time because her boxes always seem so awesome.  This is the first 'ugh' box I've seen.  I hope for those of you who don't want it that you can return it because $100 is a LOT for a blah box.

I have to agree about the 2013 mug... We're almost done with 2014! I doubt I'll return the box but I might cancel. I signed up for the wait list for My Subscription Addiction. Her first box looked nice!

I actually really love the mug; I'm a graphic designer and it would be perfect for my desk. I'd also use the polish, sweater thingy and serum. But that's not enough for me to keep everything. I'll see if I can swap the bag and earrings first, otherwise I'll return it all.

/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm only 29 and even for me this box feels way too young. I am returning this box once it arrives. I'm sad that this box isn't what I thought it was going to be but I am really happy that they accept returns, I would be even more upset if I was stuck with a bunch of items that I don't even want. PopSugar and Nina are really killing my sub box buzz. 

 

[jesemiaud]

Wow...definitely a return for me. Very bummed that I purchased this, but I'm really glad for the return policy.

I won't cancel yet because I love Nina & I still have hope but I'm so glad they do returns. I'm still happy I ordered because I would much rather deal with an easy return than miss out on a great box, but I'll be thrilled to get my money back. Glad some people are happy with the box! I really do want those earrings.

 

[feverof103]

Wow, this box isn't me at all. I'm planning on returning.

That's not the year 2013, it's the pantone colour 2013, which is mango. If there are other colours, they'll have different numbers.

I emailed Quarterly as soon as the spoilers posted about returns. And since my box didn't ship the awesome customer service lady canceled my order and refunded my card. Great customer service. And for once, I sm thankful for a late box.

Ah, that makes sense. Guess it was just an unfortunate coincidence. I wonder if other colors were sent out. There seems to be quite the variety available on Amazon.

 

[MET]

It's like the Subscription Gods are angry.  This box is just SO bad - there isn't a single item that was worth waiting for.  :huh:

 

[greenflipflops]

...I can't even. The last box disappointed me so much but I decided to give it another try. I can't decide which box I hate more. Is this really Nina Garcia's taste?? Is this box ghost-curated or something? Like she's too busy to actually curate the boxes so someone else pick out the items and she just signs off on it?

I mean, Rue Gembon creates some really beautiful jewelry but those earrings are the ones we end up with? And a mug? I usually like mugs but I'm not too impressed with that one. I'm far more pleased with the mug that's going to be in the Melissa Joulwan paleo box.

I'm being a negative nancy, I know.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Looks like Quarterly will be seeing a lot of returns with this one.

 

[sparklesgirlxox]

I find it hard to believe she picked these items out.  I think maybe she has been busy and gave someone the job.  I emailed quarterly before my box ships and want to cancel it.

 

[charelldana]

I just sent an email to cancel, my box doesn't seem to have shipped, so hopefully it isn't too late.  I don't despise this box, but I don't really like it either.  

I don't have pierced ears, so I can't really enjoy the earrings.  The others colors of the bag are much better than the color blocked version, but I'm not sure if there are color variations or not.  That hat is terrible, but the comb and nail polish are nice and the face oil looks good too, but that isn't really enough to make me want to keep this (it isn't even the value of the box).    The mug is fine, but I don't find a single mug to be very useful.  

Oh well.  Hopefully canceling or returning won't be too difficult.  I'm sad that I passed on the Design Sponge and MSA boxes, but I'll live.  I'd even be happy with a quarterly credit if they can't actually issue a refund.

Sounds like it... I was thinking 2013 Pantone color of the year- emerald. Well, I guess I hope I get a good color then! Lol

 

[sparklesgirlxox]

I am still in shock from this box. I found that had for  9.99 on amazon.   Nina has connections and she did not use them for this box. I think she is to busy to deal with this box and her name is being put on it without her input.  The  mug is outdated too.  How is this a style box??? I wrote to them and hope they will not send me this box

 

[LisaLeah]

I actually don't think this is a bad box.

There just isn't enough stuff that is right for me.

The bag isn't my style. And the earrings aren't me either.

The Nude oil is supposed to be fantastic, but I have tons of skincare.

And besides the oil, the only thing I would really use is the nail polish and mug.

Not worth it to me.

So i just emailed to cancel.

(since my box hasn't shipped yet)

Hopefully it's not too late!
