Jessica Comingore Quarterly Subscription Box Review #JCS01

Quarterly changed shipping warehouses! My box shipped 10/1 from Cludahy, WI via Fedex smartpost and arrived today (Monday) on 10/6. This is comparison to the MSA Quarterly box which shipped from Compton, CA on 9/16 and arrived on 9/23. Heads up on the email which was titled “Tendered to Fedex” and had the tracking number. I had no idea it was related to Quarterly.

I love the box and everything looks great!!! It’s a shame that the box wasn’t continued because I would had subscribed to it. I’m keeping everything except for the tea which I am giving to my sister. It should be excellent tea. I attended a couple herbalist workshops and can tell from the ingredients and the way it looks that this is someone who knows what they are doing. I can’t wait to try out everything else!

I’ve been in contact with Whitney at Quarterly. She is sending me the Jessica Comingore Quarterly box! I see that she is still waitlisted after her first box which I don’t think bodes well for her 🙁

Liz – when you do Quarterly reviews, can you please tell us a little about WHO the curator is/what they are known for and what the box is advertised as being about? Often I’ve never heard of the curators so I end up having to go look them up to have context/understand about the review. I think this additional detail would really enhance your reviews and your audience’s understanding. Thanks!!

The Ariana box had: her book Thrive, a purple lace sleepask, a Braun travel alarm clock, 2 .24fl oz Aveda concentrate stress relief aromas (roll ons), 2 1.76oz packages of Mother’s Little Helper organic teas, and a one month membership code to Headspace ( described as like a gym membership for the mind ). I took a photo but I am not sure how to attach it.

Oh I just got the Ariana Huffington box and will be returning for a refund as well.

I got this box and I’m kinda meh about it. It’s probably my favorite of the Quarterly’s I received. I was hoping it would be more home goods less beauty. I’m gonna give her another chance and not cancel, but if it’s just more beauty I’ll probably cancel. Kinda off topic, I was miserable with this box until I received Arianna Huffington’s and I’m asking for my money back, suddenly this one was great.

It’s a lovely teacup. Very Japanese. I don’t recall ever drinking tea from a cup with a handle during my years in Okinawa. They’re better insulated than you’d think, at least the authentic kind. This looks pretty substantial. You might want to give it a try with tea before planting anything, lol.

so glad you reviewed this box liz! i also subscribed because of her gorgeous clean minimalist style. can’t wait for her box to arrive because looking at this review and spoilers on instagram, everything is a win for me – the tote in particular is lovely!

I just want to mention that I subscribed to Hitha on the Go from the first box and I love it! The items she selects are high quality, unique and doubles the value. She also has some great travel tips. I am glad you’ll be reviewing her.

Her first box was interesting (a designer shoe bag) and I was thinking about cancelling it, but then I wanted to try a second box and I loved the second box immensely and use everything from that box. The second box included a gorgeous, designer, luxurious silk eye mask for sleeping on planes, but I use it for when I go to bed at night and I love it. The eye mask alone was worth much more than the $50 price of the subscription.

I look forward to the next Hitha on the Go Box.

I received this box. I was so-so on it. After reading her letter the curation made more sense. However, I am not a bar soap user. (Although, this soap smells amazing and is making me want to try bar soap!) I have never used loose leaf tea. Ironically, I stumbled upon a tea shop downtown, and I purchased a steeper. So, I might give this a try. The pencils and notebook didn’t feel very special to me. However notepads will always find use with me. The tumbler was very cute, but I also wish it hand a handle. I am happy I got this when we were able to stack coupons (so I got it for $25). I’m not sure if I would be as happy if I paid full price. I’m on the fence about continuing with her box or not.

I received this box and am pretty happy with it. Will probably swap the tote, I have way too many….love the ceramic cup and pencils with the flat tops. Not sure if I’m going to continue. I do like her minimalist style, though.

I should had subscribe! I hope they keep her on. I’m also looking forward to the Eva Srivo box.

I was considering subscribing to this box, but the theme did not lure me in… Im glad it didnt so I like my AM tine more energetic and practical a lo Mizz Fit style! However, the items its what I would have expected in this box after the promo and hints given. I’ve been watching quarterly subs for some time and at this point Im certain that this company its more about curation than value. I did subscribed to Eva Srivo since that theme is more of what Im looking for. I do expect that they don’t calculate the blowout promo in the value since you have to be in NYC in certain days to actually use it. Thaks for the review
