Hmm…  I'm not kicking myself for keeping the box one more month, but I won't be sad to see it go when I cancel.  I would love to keep it for January since that's my birthday month, but I'm wary about a potential heavy-on-fitness-items box like last year's.  That just wasn't fun *at all*.  These boxes are just bringing in far too many *things* into my life that I just don't use, and if I really want something, I'll probably be able to swap for it.  If not, I don't need it.  I have too much *stuff* right now.  I need to get rid of a lot of it instead of adding to it!

Ya I've only been subbing since sept and am already feeling like I have too much stuff, which is something that I never, ever thought I would say!!! Haha

Oh man, ME TOO!  I got one in a trade and it is by FAR my holy grail mascara. I love it so much. Someone else said it didn't work at all for them, that's so weird!  I wonder if they got a partially dried up one or something.  

I'm SUPER excited for this box.  The only other box I've gotten was for my birthday in August, and I hated it. Felt like a boring suburban soccer mom box, and literally nothing was my style. I traded/sold the entire box. I don't pack lunches, I don't want to smell like flowers, I don't need a preppy bowl or to-do list. Ugh!

I ended up scoring a free box for referrals, but I had to have an 'active' subscription in order to get the free box, so I begrudgingly subbed again because I can't turn away a freebie/discount. So basically I'm getting 2 boxes at half price.. and if January's is as good as this one is, I'll be over the moon!

Lulu Frost bracelet - I'll have to see it in person before I make judgements, but I'm a big Lulu Frost fan in general, except I can't afford any of it. Excited to see it!

Model Co Mascara - YES! my HG mascara. do want. 

GoVino Flutes - I just saw these somewhere and lusted after them. My drink of choice is cava/champagne, but I don't really care for traditional champagne glasses when I'm just relaxing on the couch, too formal. these are perfect!

Nail Wraps - Eh, whatever. They're cute but I doubt I'll actually use them. 

Popcorn - Probably will be a stocking stuffer for my mom, she's popcorn-obsessed.

Wrapping Paper - It's cute, I'll use it. 

Chocolate - More stocking stuffers! basically I was going to buy this stuff anyway, so they saved me the trouble.

Okay, I swore I wouldn't look, but I had to.

And I am happy! I actually think this box looks great!

Can someone explain the swap stuff to me (because I ordered 2 boxes and definitely want to unload those eye products.) Do the senders usually pay for shipping? It just doesn't really sound cost effective with the shipping part. Just curious how that actually works out usually.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

When you say there is a coupon code for the small thin box do you mean the NCLA? If so what exactly does it read on the coupon if you don't mind me asking. I'm considering a purchase of their galaxy nail strips and a coupon code may tip the scales.  

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

No, the coupon code is for model co.

I am not seeing anything on the Lulu Frost website for anything under $100 bucks. The exact bracelet is not on there but from the looks of the picture it appears to upwards of $198.00 value but we will see.

I didn't even getting a shipping email and I hadn't even bothered to go into my acct to track bc my boxes are never this early!

 

[greeneyedfoxxx]

Avoiding spoilers but a quick update on *one* of my boxes. It has officially shipped! We'll see what happens with the other one.

 

[honeybee7]

senders and receivers both pay shipping.and it's more of a "oh you have this, ok i want that" type of deal.it is cost effective if you find something you want and figure that sub boxes cost at least $10 a month.

Yeah, in a trade each seller pays for the shipping. I ship via USPS and I create the label/pay for it online via this link: www.paypal.com/shipnow

It usually costs me maybe $2-3 to send something regular ol' First Class mail. Heavier stuff will be a little more, but I figure the stuff I'm trading is just sitting unused in my house, so I might as well spend a couple bucks to get something I like.  Plus, I love getting things in the mail!

Also, I ordered a big set of small bubble mailers from Amazon for maybe $7, and I re-use a lot of packages as well so I don't pay much for packaging.

You know on the Lulu site they have a Cham bracelet that looks exactly like the chain part of the bracelet with 5 charms on it for $225. It is made of brass so I thinking the bracelet is made of brass. It's color is the same at least on my computer!

 

[Spiritwind10]

Forgot to include this. . It also looks like on the spoiler photo that there is an extra jump ring on the clasp ring. I don't know but the round ball might be under the chain????? What do u think?

 

[Emuhlyy]

I absolutely love this box although its only my second month I think its way better than last month and i looove the christmas-y theme. So excited to get it!

Same here and it's the box with the later initiation that got shipped. I'm guessing that the first initiation was a mistake or something?

With Smartpost, I doubt anything will arrive before Tuesday ...

I have 2 tracking numbers but as of now, one is on the move, and the other is still in processing mode. I don't expect to get 2 boxes sadly /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> in other news, I love this months box!

 

[plumplant]

I really wish popsugar would stop including crap I can get at Rite Aid in their boxes. Ghirardelli? REALLY? The NCLA nail wraps are cute for like a 13year old. Wrapping paper? Maybe I'm being too uppity or something but I can't believe how lame these boxes have been the past few months. I'm annoyed with this. My mom asked for a PS for Christmas so I gifted her a sub and god she is going to be so disappointed, as am I. I hate this box.
