Yay! My box was here when I got home. I'm in LOVE with this service as of now. the samples are HUGE.

I am curious how everyone feels about the fact that we already know what is going to be in the box before it arrives.  It definitely takes away the surprise element but you also have time to get used to the idea of the products before they get to you.  I kinda like the fact we all get the same thing - no box envy.

I want to be suprised! But I do agree that everyone having the same thing is the best thing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That way people arent feeling like others have better treatment!

Here it is! It's fabulous. I lost my phone and had to get a new one though and the camera is definitely not as nice as my old one. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Now those are some SAMPLES!!  Kinda stupid...but I love the packaging.

I got mine and I'm a little disappointed.. the original signup picture showed by terry, sisley, bond no.9, murad and stila and none of that was in there. Of course I wasn't expecting those items to be exactly what was in the box but I was thinking at least one of those brands would be. I like that the items are big and they're good brands, but it's just not what i was expecting and I don't use any of these types of skincare products because my skin is so terribly finicky. Not to mention I already got the dermalogica in my BB. :/ Not a big fan of Fekkai either.. but meh, I can swap it all out more than likely and get stuff I will use.

Also Bond no.9 is not in their sample picture anymore, it's been replaced with Oscar De La Renta.. wonder if Bond fell through and was supposed to be in the box originally??

I don't mind it. It's still a surprise whenever it is you find out- I don't necessarily need my "moment" to be as I'm opening the box.

If anything, it gives me time to look into the products and get excited about what's coming- When I first saw the contents of these boxes, I was kind of underwhelmed, but now that I've had time to look into everything I can't wait to get it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my email from CS and they assured me that my box had been shipped already. They said that the latest my box will arrive is the 12th, since it's 7 day shipping. So that's fine with me! I'm just happy that it's coming. 

As far as it not being a surprise, that doesn't bother me. I don't sign up for these services for the surprise aspect, I sign up to get cool samples. I prefer to know what I'm getting ahead of time.

I've come to the sad conclusion that the picture used for an inaugural box is likely to be an indicator that NONE of the listed brands will be in it. Heh.

Warning: you have to sign for the box. No one was home. I'll have to sign the slp and have them leave it.

Really?  What a pain.  I am rarely home before the postman arrives.

Haha! Yeah,  I was thinking Oscar de la Renta? Really? That's so 80s!  But being in the perfume biz myself I know that everyone's taste is different.

Can anyone else verify that you have to sign for this package from UPS?  If so, that really sucks because mine is arriving on Fri, and I work 11-7 on that day...=(
I'll be crushed if I can't get the package on that day.  Is there anyway you can leave a note on your front door that specifically says to leave the package on the front porch and put a signature on the note just so they know it's okay to leave it on the porch?  All my packages get left on the front porch, and I live on a dead end road and have never had a package stolen....

 

[CaliMel]

I just checked my orders, and now my box is showing up in there! Yay! Super happy.
