Anyone think that there will be any variation on the necklace in MSA02?  I've received so many gold necklaces in boxes lately and even when I try to trade them, can't get anything in silver tone in return.

My Arianna Huffington box came today...I'm feeling kind of meh about it, but I'm missing one of the pages of the "letter" so I don't have an explanation of basically half of the box.

Here's a spoiler pic for anyone interested:

This box looks great to me! It seems to have a nice mix of items and brands that are new to me..Thanks for sharing!

This box doesn't really interest me either. For the cost of the box, I would want something a little more interesting.

 
I'm excited, but need help. I rec'd those cream shadows in last month's PetitVour. I tried them & I ended up looking like a smeared mess. My eyeliner was all over the place. MESS. I always use Lorac primer under eye shadow--is that the problem? If cream eye shadow supposed to stay wet or creamy or whatever? And if so how do you keep yr eyeliner in place. I feel ridiculous for asking. Thought I would at least try instead of it going straight to the swap pile... HELP!

 
Wow I'm kind of angry about MSA02. I wish I'd cancelled - and now I see why no additional spoilers came - there wasn't much to work with there. Angry because originally I thought it was coming in November and I was going to give it as a gift to someone. Once it was decided to come just before Christmas that was no longer a viable option and I should have cancelled but I thought maybe I'd regret it. So I'm angry with myself. A high value box is great if the items are of value to the recipient and unfortunately these items, other than the socks or of no interest to me.

It's not a bad box by any means, not sure what I was expecting. I wish I had the other page(s)? of the letter.

The "value" is certainly there.

 
I feel the same way. I don't like Quarterly's poor shipping practices in general. This was originally to be a gift for a friend's birthday last month (I originally purchased 2 but cancelled 1 after the shipment delay). I kept my sub expecting something significantly more wow-worthy than generic socks, a thin necklace, drugstore brand moisturizer, a blanket and some shadows I already received from another sub recently. I'm guessing that since this wasn't originally intended as a Dec box, the curation will likely come across to most as lackluster. I just keep reminding myself this wasn't intended as a holiday box and that helps. She would have been better off when sticking with the same general formula (skincare, cosmetics, home, fashion) to focus more on including items that aren't as widely available. I know she had posted earlier about the dupe cream shadows so that wasn't a surprise (or something she could easily have anticipated). But the blanket and socks? I would think there would be options more interesting than gray and black. And the Yes to Carrots was to me the only real misfit of the box. I can get it at CVS. So as others have noted, I expect something a bit higher end for my $50. Last time we got Tatcha and this time drugstore brand? It just seems odd. The necklace is pretty nice so I'm happy with it. And of course I'll use the blanket, cream and socks. I won't be all kinds of jazzed about them, rather like getting socks and underwear from your aunt for Christmas instead of the toy you really wanted. And I won't get around to using the eyeshadows for a good while yet. So overall it was a decent second effort but nothing that special.

I think Quarterly has a massive inventory of ear buds. Every single sub has included them, some more than once. It's why I dropped all but one of my Quarterly subs.

I cancelled MSA since I just can't get with that wool blanket.   I picked up Rosario, I think I've heard of 5 spoilers...anyone know of any more?

What five spoilers do you know of? The anticipation of this box is killing me.

Has anyone heard anything lately other than the expedited shipping?

 
I think MSA02 looks awesome! 

The blanket makes it all worth it to me and I'm interested in the cream eyeshadows. The necklace is pretty and cute and great for the holidays. I ALWAYS see people posting about December boxes like PopSugar and complaining that it would have been great to have gotten a delicate piece of jewelry and Liz totally did this! She totally hit the nail on the head with that one. At first I was a little like huh? about the yes to carrots thing, but it is not something I've ever used and it seems to get mad reviews, so I'm excited to try. The fuzzy socks are a fun, low value add in. I'd rather them than another lip product or mascara like every other box (I just hope I don't get pink!).

I'm excited to get mine... this is seriously my favorite subscription box.

I have to say, I love Liz and MSA, but I'm kinda glad I cancelled the MSA box before it shipped. The necklace is pretty, but otherwise none of it is very exciting to me. And I would have had to swap the wool blanket due to a wool allergy. I'll see what next month's is like and consider trying it again.

ETA I'm also very curious to see Rosario box reveals. I almost caved and ordered one, and I'm hoping I don't regret not getting it!

Quarterly.co has a great return policy. Just email them, tell them you want to return. THey will send you a prepaid UPS label and once they receive back your refund is processed in 2-5 business days. No questions asked.

Quarterly, in my opinion is one of the worst sub companies out there. They can't get anything out on time and when you ask for an explanation, if they answer you at all they just say "We KNOW you'll love it!". My first two Quarterly boxes were supposed to be MSA02 and the Rosario box. I cancelled both because of their inability to live up to their shipping promises. Here it is 12/16 and there's still no word on Rosario. I'm happy I cancelled the MSA02. I like Liz, but this box was such a downer from the first one, which is why I subbed in the first place. I was hoping for items of a similar....artisanal value and the socks, yes to carrots, and bauble bar necklace don't live up to the candle, Tachta, and Fig and Yarrow products in the first box. I subscribe to these boxes to get things that I normally wouldn't purchase on my own and don't want things I could easily buy at Target or a drug store.

I'm interested to see when the Rosario box will ship. They're running out of time. I still really want it and am debating whether or not to order it again.

 
I am actually super happy with MSA02. I prefer boxes to focus more on home or fashion than skincare and makeup because I just have SO MANY THINGS.  You would think that would be enough for me to stop subscribing to so many boxes but that's apparently out of the question.  I'm actually 100% okay with the skincare item being drugstore because who knows if I'd use it up anyway, and it freed up the budget for more cozy and sparkly things. 

 
I am very happy about MSA. I literally cancelled and resubbed about 50 times. I think this is a keeper. I will get my hands on everything today, but I am super pleased. Quarterly, for me, isn't my go to sub for beauty products, there are so many other subs out there for that, so I am thrilled with the diversity of products in here. I didn't get 1, was a little disappointed, but would have been pissed if I missed this one. Very happy.

 
I think Liz's box looks great! Each item looks perfect for the holidays. I'm really excited for this box. I love that each item is hand picked by her, it feels more special that way. I will use each and every one of these items, can't wait until mine arrives!!!

 
Got my MSA box today. I can't say I love it, but I wouldn't say I hate it either. I feel like half the stuff I could get at Wal-Mart for $15 (socks/moisturizer). I'd rather have two different brands of eye shadow than the same thing in 2 colors. Kinda like when I find a great shirt and buy it in every color! When I get dressed, I realize I have the same shirt in five different colors...b.o.r.i.n.g. The necklace is pretty, but small. I can't comment on the blanket. I haven't opened it because chances are high I won't keep this box.

Normally I find that I am never impressed when I see spoilers but as soon as I open the box I am in love with everything! But not this box. I think my expectations were too high. The first box was amazing! Oh well, you win some and you lose some :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
This is off topic but I thought you guys might be interested...I have a code for 10% off your subscription for life for the style quarterly box by pashbox.  I found out about it because @@raisin posted about a now-expired code and it was accidentally placed in the quarterly forum.  Here is the info from Pashbox (they were super responsive and easy to work with...I just asked for a code and POOF! she created one for me):

[SIZE=10pt]Sure you can share the code! It will be redeemable up to 75 times and good through 12/31/14. You can use code SQGIFT10 to save 10% off the life of your subscription when you sign up for our Quarterly plan. Subscriptions will start in March of 0f 2015 and will renew on April 1st.[/SIZE]
