I just got my box. First thing I opened was a vomit green Pantone mug. Really set the tone for the box. Who thought that was a good color to include??? Would anyone be ex cited for a vomit green mug? For some reason that is insanely annoying to me right now. Maybe Bc I waited 6 months for this box. Rant over

 
I received an email back from CS that my box had been shipped and that they would send me a return label. Got home and the box was on my door step. I received the olive green mug (not a fan of the color), the oxblood nail polish, earrings that had a clear crystal surrounded by pearls on the jacket, and a grey purse.

I got that same ugly mug. Have no idea why but it infuriated me. Who wants a mug in that color. But I got pearl earrings with a gold bar. Very difficult to put on. My box is going back

 
Last night I got an email from a Quarterly rep saying that he's halted my shipment and has started processing my return (which will be back in my account within 2 to 5 business days). But earlier today I got the shipping notice. If it does arrive, I'll have to send them another email. If not, and if I get my money back as stated, I'll just be fine.

The exact same thing happened to me.  I emailed them about it and they said it was an error and that I would be refunded.  Here's hoping....

 
I got mine tonight and actually liked it better than I thought I would! I got the mug in a mint shade, the purse in black, oxblood Polish, and the earrings that have the pearls instead of stars (which are what I wanted! Just wish they were easier to get off).

 
Maybe I should open my box before I return it. If I got the black bag I might be happy. Some of the earings seem pretty nice too.

Give it a chance and at least have a look. I really thought I'd be sending everything back, but I liked it better in person, even if a couple of the items aren't a good fit for me. 

I have to say I envy everybody who got green mugs! Green's my favourite colour, even puke green. 

 
I love the variations on the earrings by I'm not even sure I could wear them since I'm sensitive to most metals. I'll just have to try to swap for a set. I wish there was at least one more big item that made this box worth it for me personally.

 
I received my box today, and I have to say that while I was pretty skeptical after the spoilers, I'm much happier with the box in my hands.  I got pretty much every variation I would have selected on my own - purse in grey, mug in mint green, polish in Deep, and a surprisingly cute pair of earrings!  I definitely think this box can swing from "OMG i hate this."  to actually having some pretty cute items - depending on your variations.  Keep the faith ladies!  I'm not ready to give up on Nina just yet...

I got mine today. I didn't get a mug in mine! I want to return it but it might be hard to because a piece of the return is missing--a piece they never sent me! I emailed them about it, I hope I can still return it. 

 
I rec'd my box today and was actually pleasantly surprised.  The purse is black (which makes it less flashy/too young) which makes it more wearable.  The earrings are lovely.  The mug is a lovely aqua.  The nail polish is oxblood.  All in all I rather like the contents!  I guess I'll keep my subscription...

I am really crossing my fingers for your exact variation or else ill be disappointed

 
Just got my box and I'm really glad I avoided checking the threads before then. I would've been having premature buyer's remorse. Instead I actually love it. Yes, even that beanie which made me go WTH when I first saw it. 

I received the mink purse (brownish), a pale blue Pantone mug (549), the polish in Deep (dark aubergine), and I'm just adding a pic of the earrings since I can't find the style. They are silver with a white pearl. Sorry that my photography is awful so they look pinkish in parts. They are perfectly silver though. Very cool style and elegant. I expected some fringe after lurking her style pages in Marie Claire and am actually really happy with the way it's presented in the purse. It seems like a nice quality piece and the only drawback is that it won't have the longevity of real leather. Then again, will I be carrying a fringe purse in 5 years? Not sure ...

Overall I think it's really nicely curated. The oil for seasonal dry skin, a mug for drinking hot beverages, the dark polish is perfect for A/W, the beanie for cold weather, etc. The earrings are the "something shiny" according to her note (for those who haven't/won't receive the box). 

The beanie I thought was going to be awful (like the hat in the summer box) but then I put it on and it was super cozy so I wore it in my house for a little and then kept it on when I went to run errands. It actually looks pretty cute and I also think it's amusing. it's got that crass class going for it. 

I'm hoping that she doesn't quit because I feel I'm getting a lot out of her boxes and also Quarterly curators have been dropping like flies lately which bums me out.

So I ended up keeping my box. I got the mink bag which I kind  of like and some cute hanging earing which I will wear.  My mug is green which I like too.   The color polish I also like.  I think the value of this box is lower than usual but I am happy enough with things not to send it back,

I got those earrings too! I'm not a fan of pearls so I would like to swap them for something else, if possible. What variations did everyone else get?

I hated that Ballin' beanie at first sight but I made the mistake of putting it on my head and I can't get over how soft and cozy it is. I can't decide whether I should just return this box or keep it.

I know, that beanie is a problem. Super comfy. I wore it out again today and just loved it. It's the perfect shape too. 

 
I luv the hat-- wore it today & it was super cute & crazy comfy!! I got the grey purse...mango mug...RGB in Oxblood...Earrings that have spokes with pearls- they actually look pretty chic-- my mom loved them!!! Overall, the box wasn't stellar but I'll definitely use the face oil, nail polish, mug, hat, & the earrings... Pretty much everything but the purse & the laundress products which I'm sure will trade :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm starting to look forward to the fringed bag.  I was just at Neiman Marcus' Last Call and so many of the bags had fringe.  Of course, there was no chance I was going to plunk down the kind of money they wanted for them.  Kind of glad I've got one coming my way now.  {Happy Thoughts}{Happy Thoughts}

 
I am happy for those people who are enjoying their boxes. I am happy for myself b/c I managed to get a refund on this box as the items were just not "me" and I wanted to avoid any frustration. Speaking of, I still have a yellow shark clutch from the summer box if anyone wants to trade ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
