LOL

I completely understand what you are saying. I'm concerned I will have to skip next month's makeup box too. I've never gotten the jewelry one. BUT, they just put out a very intriguing promo on FB saying something new was coming and to stay tuned for details in a week or two. It is going to be soooo very hard for me to resist. But having no money at the moment, well, that pretty much makes my decision for me, lol! My husband said we'd see if we could order it. Right now, however, it isn't looking so good. /emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So jelly of you ladies that receive your boxes in the beginning of the month... mine don't ship out until the 3rd week of the month.   /emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sorry.  I posted some more detailed photos elsewhere, but I've since deleted them off my phone and I didn't take one photo of the whole box as a group except for this one, but it doesn't reveal much.  I listed what I got in the September Wantable thread I started.

If you contact customer service they will change your billing and shipping date. That's what I did.

I got my first (September) accessories box last week and while none of the items were things I'd have picked for myself, I really like them all (I got a flower statement necklace, a two tone bracelet and a gold heart ring).  I've also been pretty impressed with the customer service thus far -- I got an almost immediate response when I emailed them.  I'll definitely be sticking around for a few more month to see what I end up with!

 

[dbella]

Ooooh, my September Accessories box and my replacement item from my Makeup box are both out for delivery.  I wish I had an excuse to go home! LOL

I just received my August makeup box. They forgot to send me one in August. And it definitely feels like a "thrown together at the last minute" box. 2 Laqa&Co nail polishes, a Bombshell blush that looks returned, a Japonesque brush that is smushed in the box, a Lise Watier eyeshadow sample and an eyeliner. This one is going back!

I posted this in the wrong thread originally but I got my replacement shadow today and it was shattered as well so I think it may be a problem with that particular shade as they really made sure to pad it well. I emailed them about it and the woman who answered said she would be sure to include an extra item in my next box. I also got my second box today and am seriously in love with everything but the mascara and that is only because I have a lot of it (I have gone in and disliked lash products on both accounts now) so I am still happy

Just got an email from them about a special Halloween box. It is the same price as the regular box and you can skip your regular box for it or get both. It will feature makeup from Cinema Secrets. I don't do Halloween makeup but it sounds like a fun box!

OMG want!!! I hope they offer it to non-subscribers as a one time purchase box =)

I believe they are offering it to non subscribers for $40 just like a regular makeup box.

Nice, thank you!  I am checking it out now.  The colors don't seem very spooky, but that adds a nice bit of versatility too.  It would be a lot to spend for a one day look =)

No, they don't but they sure are pretty. Now I kind of want to buy it lol.

I am so annoyed!  I was all excited to get home today and see my September Accessories box and it was a total and complete pile of junk.  First they completely ignored my preferences.  I got a watch when even on the shipping document it shows watches are on my "Dislike" list.  I also got a cheap, boring pair of plain silver tone hoops and a cheap gold-tone (also on my Dislike list) necklace that I could have gotten at Claires.  Not only was everything stuff I don't like, but it's just plain ugly and the quality is horrid.  I'm beyond shocked and so disappointed.  The whole thing is going back.  I can't believe this is what they sent me.

They did send me a replacement for the missing item in my Makeup box.  A Whip Hand lipgloss in "Entice."

That's such a bummer =(  The watch looks pretty bad. It is hard to tell from the picture but it seems plasticy, or just off somehow from the way the light is reflecting from the face of it.

It's brittle plastic alright. The necklace is beyond flimsy and the earrings too. The last two are gum ball machine quality. I'm still amazed because my first box was incredible

I have always felt the accessories box is such a crap shoot.  I have gotten 3 boxes and only been ok with one (and that happened to be a replacement box).  

Did you contact CS?  I have found they have been more than happy to help....

I've just arranged for a return.  There was nothing in the box I'd consider keeping.  We'll just call this one a miss and try again another time, but I want them to assure me that my preferences won't be ignored next time.
