These are the spoilers I have gathered so for Rosario...

Disney item (guessing related to the her voice work in Tinkerbell, products from Honest Co., Rent-inspired calendar, small box of chocolates from Germany, raffle ticket, and an item from Under Armor...
 
I don't know about you guys, but I am ALL OVER the new wil wheaton box!  I LOVE him. 

"From books to gadgets to home-brewing kits to unique, handcrafted items from artists you don't even know you love yet, I'm going to do my very best to bring you awesome things that make you happy."

First box will be 70's themed. It's $100 (boo)

Soooo....

what happens with the raffle ticket? Since it was for the NYC Premier of Top Five, and that already happened on 12/4 are we now down to 30 items? Or do we think they will replace it with something else?
 
Anybody who might be waiting for Design Sponge, they just told me it will ship this week, but no Christmas guarantee.

 
Does anyone know of any quarterly codes that actually work right now?  I want to order wil wheaton and Bianca jade...

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]

[SIZE=10pt]Past boxes look fantastic so I'm crazy excited about this.[/SIZE]

What box is this? I feel like I am missing something.

Quarterly's handling of that give away was soooo shady IMO.  I don't think they will do anything to make it up to everyone else.

 
Unfortunately I feel disappointed with MSA2. The first box which I missed out was so lux, all the brand were special. Sorry to say this but this box feels so cheap (socks, cream). You can't even compare this cheap and ugly socks to the ones in Little lace box...(otherwise I would bet Liz would choose something like that ) I don't like creamy eyeshadows, but I understand Liz loves them and want us to try them. Necklace is nice,but kinda generic. So it leaves me with one item I like. I might return this box. :-(

 
I think I set my expectations too high based on the first box MSA box.  Nearly every item wowed me and so even though the wool throw was meh for me, I didn't cancel because I was positive there was going to be something revealed later I'd be so upset I missed.

Well now that the full spoilers are out, there isn't anything that wows me at all.  It isn't a bad box and it certainly has a decent value for the amount I paid, but I should have gone off the first spoiler instead of assuming there was some secret fabulous item being withheld from reveal.  My gut told me this wasn't for me as soon as I saw the blanket but considering that I'm still bummed that I didn't get the first MSA box, I couldn't let go.  

At least this is returnable! 

 
The box is not horrible.  Its just not for some people.  I cancelled when I saw the throw and makeup items because they were not for me.   I think I would have liked something more high end or unusual in the box.  I would imagine these boxes are very difficult to put together  so I think she did a good job.   I also think Liz chose stuff she herself loves.  I have stopped all my subs with quarterly including nina.  I find that they are rude and disrespectful with the delays and owe us at least email updates.

 
I cancelled MSA after the eyeshadow spoiler because 2 eyeshadows with a $40 value and an $60 wool blanket was sure to be the majority of the value.  I can live without a wool blanket and I don't care for cream eyeshadows so it was a logical decision.

I'm glad I did.  While I think that this box is something Liz herself would love, I don't think Liz and I have enough in common for me to reasonably enjoy her boxes.  I think if I loved natural beauty products it would be more of a win for me.

Of course, I am still subscribed to Nina and she seems crazy but at least she's fun crazy.  Except for that last box which I seriously am doubting she had any real hand in.

 
Oh, and I think the Rosario box also will have some hand made African (or inspired) product. 

 
I got my MSA box today and even though nothing wows me I think I will keep it. The wool throw is decent (wish it was softer) and the socks are actually warm and comfy. I'm ok with cream eye shadows but I'm feeling pretty meh about the the necklace and the face cream. I think that I'll keep the sub for one more box before deciding whether to cancel or not.

In contrast, as soon as I saw the full spoilers for the Nina Garcia winter box (my first box for the sub) I emailed right away to cancel before shipping (didn't know that I could type that fast). Now talk about disappointment- Nina didn't just phone it in, she had someone else phone it in for her. Hope the next box is a lot better otherwise I am definitely cancelling this one.

 
I don't think she and I share the same style, either. Her tastes tend to lean more toward the granola style. I have no problem with that style for others but it's definitely NOT me. My sister is also a MSA subscriber and also got the first box like me. When the blanket was revealed, her comment was "I think her taste is a bit too granola for me." She saw the full reveal before me and told me to look for myself. I have to say I completely agree with her. It will be my last MSA box unless there are some amazing spoilers. I got my first Oui Please box last week and it set the bar way too high (at a higher price point, $120, to be fair). Even my fab fit fun box was more exciting and had a higher value (retail and to me) than MSA and there was nothing particularly "wow" about FFF.

I think if she had included a higher end skincare item versus the drugstore brand she chose folks would have been a lot happier. But the throw wasn't going to blow anyone away in blah colors. It kind of gave me flashbacks to basic training in 1994, since it looks a lot like the wool blankets we were issued. And that wasn't something I considered fashionable or luxe - now or then, lol! I'm fine with the eyeshadows and know that the natural brands are quite pricy for what they are (loose mineral shadows you can get from individual etsy sellers for much cheaper). But once they're branded and sold commercially, the price shoots up (production, distribution, etc). I just don't think the box needed to include 2 when 1 would've been plenty. My guess is she blew her Quarterly curator's "allowance" on the army blanket. Which I'm sure she personally loves given that her taste runs more toward basics/neutrals. Just not worth $50 for me after this one. So someone will be the recipient of 2 open slots for the next box since I doubt my sister will stay subbed, either.

It is the style quarterly box by pashbox.  As I said in my post, it was only put in the quarterly thread by accident - it's not actually a quarterly box, I just thought you guys would be interested.  It used to be a scarves and sunglasses monthly sub, then they changed it to be a quarterly sub with 3-6 beauty and fashion items.  It looks like they work with a lot of small businesses and get a really special, unique artisanal type items. It seems most like social bliss, but without the dollar store filler.

Ah thank you, I missed that it was not an actual quarterly.co box. It looks great!
