Like others here have noted, my comments here often seen to disappear. I received the “silver” version and although I don’t hate the box it seems to be geared towards the tween set (all those sparkles). I think that the items will grow on me (I hope) as time passes. I also purchased the December LE box … had I known the contents of this box I might not have done so.

I’m considering swapping for the bracelet and/or ring. Can anyone give me an idea of what sizes they are? I realize they’re both adjustable, but even adjustable pieces can only be adjusted so far. My wrist is 7.5 inches and my finger is about a 10 (embarrassed!!)
Can anybody help? 🙂

I don’t think you should have a problem. What color are you looking for? I’d be willing to swap pretty much everything in my box! Just let me know

I am a size 4.5 ring finger and at it’s smallest it still fell off my thumb. I think you’d be pretty safe

Well at first I thought the headband was a complete miss….but when I tried it on…I actually liked it….I also didn’t like the ring or bracelet….but again when I tried it on…i actually did like it. The travel brushes will come in handy for vacations….shimmer eyeshadow is definitely not for me…that was a complete miss. The perfume I really liked and I have enjoyed that brand in both Oui Please and Luxe Provence. Chocolates were nice but I wasn’t paying $135 to get chocolates….I would have preferred some other type of food product…or a serving dish or something else kitchen related but high ended. So this box was not the best box but it was also not the worse. I will see what Nov & Dec’s boxes bring (at least I like both of the spoilers) and then I will decide whether to continue with Luxor or cancel.

received box. do not think it was worth the price. I am very VERY please not to have purchased subscription nor December special edition
Reply
Caroline
sorry hit reply too fast. This is a nice box just not worth $135 and no way would I call it a most requested unless your requesters are teenagers. Jewelry was ok too big for me even after adjusting as small as possible 🙁 Chocolate should be no where near a luxury +$100 box. Again, I am partial to saying if you want food buy a snack subscription. I would put this on par with a normal PopSugar box. I feel the prices they have are overly inflated. I mean retail is always more than what a savvy shopper spends but their quotes seem way out of control

Received my box and I love the bracelet and ring. I got the gold and they both look good together. I have too much makeup so that and the brushes will be given away. I love the perfume, it has a soap scent to me and I liked their soap in the Oui Please box. The headband is flashy, but may work during the holidays. Being in SoCal unfortunately my chocolate was melted, but they have already reached out to me about it. I still love this box, and happy the items I like place the cost of the box over what I paid.

Shannon was kind enough to contents of the box with me last night so I knew what to expect. I actually like the box! The perfume is nice (I’m pretty picky about scents too). The only think I’m iffy about it the headband. I think I might be too old for headbands… And I think the box was kind of pricey. But I’ll use or gift everything.

I love the headband too, but I am where you are – worried I might be too old for it even though my hair is long. I am bringing it to work tomorrow and asking the what not to wear gang what they think
The only things I didn’t like in the box were the items from the brand of makeup that seems to be in every cheap sub box out there.

I just opened my box, and I’m happy with it. It’s not my favorite box ever – but I like about half the items. The minimalist jewelry is exactly my style, and I love that we got a set. I will most definitely wear it. I adore Rose et Marius, and love the scent. I’m always happy with chocolate.
The eyeshadow and brushes will get swapped. I’m not sure what to make of the headband yet. It might be a gift for my 12 year old niece.

Well just opened my box & yikes… It kinda looks like it was curated for a tween girl! A jeweled headband? NINE shades of glitter eyeshadow? Candy & cheap looking gold jewelry… Ah well, lesson learned with this sub box!! Never again

That’s funny, I was thinking of trying to swap both the eyeshadows and the headband for my tween.

I’m sorry to see so many are disappointed. I’m especially glad that I opened the box before seeing how dismayed so many others were because I really enjoyed my peek into the box. I’ll admit it might have tainted my impression but I got to open it before I took a peek here. I haven’t pulled everything out but I really love what was in there and about the infamous headband. Yea, I slap a headband on when I wash my face at night so I wouldn’t have said I’d put that on a request list particularly for a ‘higher end’ box BUT it was the first item I opened and I thought it was just beautiful. I immediately thought how gorgeous it would look in my daughter’s hair for the daddy daughter dance and thought I’m GOING to find an opportunity to sport it myself. I think it’s lovely. I may even wash my face with it when I feel like spoiling myself 😉 haha
But all in all, the jewelry is a perfect little addition to my everyday collection, the brushes (even though I just decided I wouldn’t need any new brushes anytime soon), they are a nice collection for travel or when I need to take brushes on the go- I will keep them in the pouch so I can grab and go. So, I didn’t discuss the chocolate- not necessary (nice sweet surprise). In conclusion, I’m very happy with my first little Luxor and at a $135 price tag it’s well worth it IMO. I think those looking to dump their box may find others like me that would love it. Good luck to all.

It’s not my favorite Luxor box that they have done, but I was not as disappointed as I expected to be after reading some of the comments. There are a couple of things that I am disappointed in because I don’t view them as from a luxury undiscovered brand since they have been in a number of other boxes, but on the whole I am satisfied. I do think had a different perception of what this box would be. I thought when they did most requested it would be things like home item -throw, hair beauty item – high end hairbrush, curling iron or flat iron (wish somebody would do that!), etc, and I don’t think that the concept was explained very well. I think the retail values are pretty accurate as several of the items are from brands that I might I would probably consider higher end, with the exception of the items from the company that is in every sub box which I think is way overvalued.
Do I think they could have done a better job of explaining what they were really doing and picking more original and requested items. Yes! Still I have loved the past boxes and will continue with my subscription but will not be ordering the extra boxes in the future. (I think no extra boxes will be a rule for me in the future).

Great point! The ‘mystery’ can be exciting but clearly I think maybe full disclosure would lead to happier customers. Imagine this- there may be people who couldn’t grab the box because it sold out that would have enjoyed the items and plenty who would have passed had they known the contents. Either way maybe there less surprise may lead to higher customer satisfaction. I can’t imagine it is possible to surprise so many different people with the same stuff. There is too much left to interpretation when the descriptions are vague- everyone is optimistic and hopeful of course when they click their checkout box and ideally they should be just as excited when they receive their box.
Shannon
I am really happy to see that you are genuinely happy about the box! I have said that everyone is going to either like or not. Like some things and not like some other things. I want to truly say that I hope I did not ruin anything for anyone because I did not like the box. This is the first specialty high-end box that I had bought. I was very disappointed. I have seen very nice boxes on this website and from this company. I just felt like this was not one of them and kind of crushed my spirits a bit. I try to keep as much in as possible to not change other peoples opinions. I am glad for all who like it and for all that don’t maybe we can create our own little forum where we can go crazy without disappointing others LOL just kidding you guys have my email address if you feel like venting. Aside from that I hope everyone has a wonderful day or what’s left of it and try to remember it is just stuff and when we go it’s not coming with us!

Speak your mind. You have every right to say what you want to say here. 🙂 I wanted to offer another opinion. I did mention in another post that I think perhaps these “mystery’ editions where we don’t know what’s included may not be ideal. I’m sure there would have been enough people who wanted the enclosed items to buy the box and would have saved all the disappointed customers money and grief if they just would tell us what was coming. I’ve been bummed when people bought I wanted that sold out box and didn’t want it once they got it. I love Boxycharm for that, they let you know through spoilers most of what they have coming so you can base your decision to spend you money on what you’ll actually get. It’s no fun to get a box of stuff you don’t want especially at a $100 + price point. Just tell us what your sending Boxbuilders!- can I get an AMEN?

I’m so glad to see that someone liked the box! Unfortunately it was a complete miss for me. The only thing of interest to me was the chocolate, and even that was mediocre. Don’t even have anyone to gift the rest to. So disappointed that I wasted my money on this one. Lesson learned. I will be avoiding this sub in the future, especially with the ridiculously inflated prices.

thanks to everyone for clarifying that the contents of this box was not items they had in past boxes but request they have received to include in future ones. Really??? things such as a headband??? chocolate??? they are suggesting that the retail value of the head band they included is $62!!! in what universe??? according to them they meet the $450 value of the box, but with items such as a miniature box of chocolates for $13 anyone could meet that value. Eye shadow that according to Luxor its valued at $89.99 but i found similar ones on Amazon for less than $20 from the same brand. this box is very disappointing and i would even say it was misleading.
Reply

Yep, and I’ve also found similar (or exact) items on Groupon – type in “Bellapierre” on Groupon, and the eyeshadow set comes us for $15…and then add a 20%-off Groupon code to that, the value is down to $12. Yikes.
As a side note, I also found personalizable monogrammed items on Groupon that look very much like, if not identical to, the items being sold on the price-inflated Website that provided a $40 “gift certificate” in this month’s PopSugar box. Makes me wonder if I could start my own luxury sub box just by shopping at Groupon and Amazon. Not to sound cynical or anything, it’s just kinda odd, but I guess they have to make a profit somehow.
Stopped by to see if there was any talk of this yet. I don’t want spoilers so I’m glad there aren’t any here. I don’t have any expectations aside from value, but I do fully expect a value of $450+ as promised. I’m not looking for this box to be “like” any other or I would have simply subscribed to the other. I have not been disappointed by Luxor thus far. Even the first box that people consider a dud, I would gladly repurchase. I already dropped another $175 on the December box and I’m hoping I won’t regret that today when I open October. I am nervous but remain optimistic.

I don’t hate the box but it feels like it was geared towards an immature teen girl. These experiences with buying blind are beginning to “cure” me of my subscription addiction. I’m feeling less and less inclined to spend money on “mystery” items. I could just take that money and blue it in something I chose for myself and have the option of returning if it doesn’t work out.
I also purchased their December clutch box … I wonder what’s in there!

I was using the Bing search engine when I found it. From Bing, type in “Work on the Side BlogSpot” and the first link that comes up should be the blogger’s page with the review (at least it comes up for me).
Really wishing I hadn’t wasted my money. :o( Paid $130 for the edibles… that’s about I’ll get out of it. Don’t think I can even gift the rest. Unless I let my kids play with the overpriced wearables.

I’m gonna wait for my own personal disappointment unboxing LOL… No idea what’s in the box but I am very glad I did not get Dec special edition or November.
All I can think of is the movie Seven and Brad Pitt’s character screaming “WHAT’S IN THE BOX?!?!??!” hee hee

I received my box also. I agree though about requesting items. I know it said before it was things that were never requested or in boxes before. But I do not see how any of these items were ever requested from anybody at anytime. It was a waste of money! I do see now why there weren’t any leaks or spoilers. They knew it too.

I am so bummed for everyone who got it and does not like it, i know it’s a first world complaint but I hate when that happens. You get so excited for something you chose to spend money on and have a fun surprise and then it’s a let down. On the bright side for me I have not liked any Luxor boxes so maybe I am going to want to swap for all the items in this one!

i am so disappointed with this box. it arrived today and i couldn’t wait to open it. this box was sold as the most requested items, but yet the items i received had not been in Luxor box before. at least i could not find them by the research i did. this is very disappointing. this box was NOT worth $135 in my opinion.
Reply
Regan
I didn’t get it but just as a clarification is stated right in the email about the box that it was NOT items from past boxes. It was items they most often get as requests for future boxes. I don’t think they really made that a big enough FYI about the box though, because the name makes you think it was the most popular from past boxes.
Reply
Mary
Yes, it states that above in the post “these are amazing products that we have not featured in the past”. They made it clear that they were new products that were requested a lot!
Jerilynn
They actually stated that this box would feature things that hadn’t been in previous boxes but had been requested by customers to be in future boxes. I am a little worried now since both you and one other poster who got her box both appear to be disappointed in the box. I guess tomorrow I will,see whether it meets the $450 retail value and is worth the $135. I don’t want to be spoiled so I will wait till my box comes before passing judgement.

You have me so curious. What’s in the box? I hope it’s not a disappointment. I sent you an email but I haven’t heard back yet.
Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow but I won’t be home until Wednesday. Its already at the local post office but they’re such idiots they won’t give me my boxes in the am. We live in the smallest town where everyone knows everyone by name but they get offended if you ask them to do or know anything that they believe is outside their job description. Grrrr

Here is what is really strange about mine. I checked and it said it was going to be delivered on Tuesday. I checked over the weekend and it was all ready in my local post office so I thought for sure it would be early and come Monday because that’s what usually happens when I get packages. It says that it was at my local post office at 2 o’clock afternoon yesterday. I wonder if they’re making them hold them back until Tuesday so that nobody gets to put up spoilers until that time. This box is been so strange.

@Shannon – forgot to add that I totally agree with you that the whole thing seems strange too though. The lack of spoilers from anyone, no comments on their Facebook page, etc. It all is very odd. Mine is set to be delivered tomorrow too. I hope this box is great. If it’s a big disappointment, I’m going to be bummed.
I already signed up for a sub to get November’s box and I bought the December special edition. If this October box is a dud, then I will probably regret purchasing the other two. 🙂

I don’t think Luxor is making the post office hold them. The reason it won’t be delivered till tomorrow is that today is a holiday, so there is no mail delivery today.

Mine is set to arrive tomorrow – ordered silver. I figure if I don’t like it, I can swap or sell/swap. Should be OK with this one. Perhaps there is a 1951 Maison Francaise clutch in this one? I wouldn’t be surprised if there was. It is a most requested item. I swapped for a pink 1951 clutch, but it’s way too bright for me – up on the swap site, but only want to swap for another…

I’m terrible about peeking at spoilers. My box is set to arrive tomorrow. I think this will be the first time I’ve ever actually been surprised (I try to hold out every time but always give in!!). Kind of excited but nervous it’ll be a let down after all of this.

I posted this comment over on the December box post, but I thought I should probably have posted it here:
I purchased one, but am now getting a little concerned. I ordered the October special box and they guaranteed shipping through this week. Yet, it’s Friday and I have yet to receive a shipping email.
Also, maybe I’m just paranoid, but I kind of find the lack of comments on their Facebook page a bit concerning. I would think they would be getting flooded with questions about “where’s my October package??” (unless I’m the only one that hasn’t gotten a shipping email – which I doubt). The lack of comments on their Facebook page, makes me wonder if they delete comments. They have also disabled posting, so we can’t even post a question on their Facebook page, let alone read other members’ posts. I find that odd.
Also, their website concerns me too. There’s no where to log in to check your account to see if an item has shipped or not. Unless I’m looking in the wrong place.
Anyone else have these concerns too? I’ve plunked down over $450 with them in the last month, with nothing to show for it yet, so I’m feeling a bit paranoid about it…

ok has ANYONE one received their box yet? I mean is was supposed to ship the the week of Oct 5th… seems like they are a week behind. It is very weird no spoilers have been posted by Luxor, bloggers or fellow subscribers. Has anyone heard any spoilers? At this point, I would like to know if i should bother wanting to subscribe to bi-monthly. This cloak and dagger is making me nervous

I am a bit paranoid about spending so much money and I think for the amount that people do spend on these boxes they should have a way for people to contact them or check on things. I checked all over the Internet and could not find any number for them. Although you can contact them through email. I did receive my tracking number about 10 minutes ago. That has eased my mind a bit and I can’t wait to get my box in my hands. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing but I do feel like with this box it has been unusually quiet. There are not any comments, there were no spoilers. I felt like I was the only one actually that had bought one until I started commenting on this. Strange… Music plays in the background do do doo ?

Hi Shannon,
Luxor is shipping all these Oct. boxes this week. They have it posted on their Facebook page that all boxes are shipping this full week and once your box ships, you will receive an email tracking. I ordered 2 boxes, 1 in gold and 1 in silver. Yesterday I received an email that my gold is shipping. I emailed them about my silver box and they said it will be shipping today and once it ships I will get that tracking email. Hope that helps.

Thank you Mary! That makes me feel little better. I also ordered a silver so maybe today is the silver day LOL I don’t know but I will just trust and if I don’t get one today then I’ll start panicking 🙂
