Luxor Box Limited Edition “Most Requested” Box Review

I agree with a previous post that it was a mistake that they did not have a home item included. I’ve received their boxes in the past and enjoyed them all. I’m happy with this box too, however, I do feel it is not quite up to par with their previous boxes. I loved the ring, bracelet, headband, perfume and even the travel brushes. The chocolate was not my favorite, I prefer Swiss or Belgian chocolate – I’m a chocolate snob LOL! The eyeshadows were the one item that seemed cheap – hate the stacking pods – and colors are too shiny – so those will be given to my daughter. I do like Luxor box and will continue my sub and hope that the next one is better!

I was scared for this box because of all of the negative comments and almost all of the LE boxes I receive I put everything up for swap but THIS BOX WAS AWESOME! The only thing on swap is the bracelet, ring, and perfume because I personally don’t use any of those items. I opened everything and thought it was packaged beautifully and saw the value in so many items and wished other companies would take note. They had stuff from France, which is huge right now, gave the option in jewelry color, chocolate that was amazing, perfume which I thought IS light and pretty, a headband that can be dressed up or dressed down, and makeup that can work with anyone and I thought the feel of the brushes was great but I am gifting those to a friend!

Right now on beautybar.com you can get deepa guarni headbands on sale. The couple I saw were 90-120.00 The coupon code is for 35$ off a 70$ purchase is… Save35off70… Haven’t tried to use it. Hope this helps someone out xo

I have there bimonthly subscription and for me they’re boxes are always hit or miss for me. But, i must say I’m extremely upset by this box. The brushes and makeup that they said had a value of $40 & $90 for a total of $130. When in actuality you can get for $20 or $15 a piece. I think thats what the ladies previously said. That is a pretty big chunk to take out of the value of the box. Plus, I too was really looking forward to a home & spa box. They’re so much harder to find. So when I do I get excited. Instead I was let down by the normal kind of items that did come. I personally think the Luxor better be prepared to offer some sort of ground control. By that I mean offering either a full refund or to try to prevent most boxes coming back to them for the refund. They should offer credits of some sort on up coming boxes or on they’re subscriptions. It is they’re fault for providing cheap products and giving them expensive values. But, above all misleading the consumer completely as to what to expect most of all in the box!!! Before my box came I kept thinking to myself how I know I messed up and should have boughten the December box but, didn’t! Looks like I just might have been right not to. Unless they learn they’re lesson here and offer a kick butt good December box to makeup for they’re error. I hope that would be the case because they deserve it!!!!

I urge anyone who is unsatisfied with their box to take it up with Luxor AND your bank/credit card company. Here in Illinois you can fight the charge, if the description of items were misleading. Home and Spa vs. melted chocolate and knockoff eye shadow. I think you’d get your money back.

I just received my Luxor SE box and I didn’t like it as much as I have liked the regular Luxor boxes. By the way, what has happened to Oui Please?
I have an annual subscription and didn’t receive a box in September. It was to be the 3rd in my year of 6.
Now I can’t even find their web site and they don’t reply.

I am mystified by the negativity concerning this box. I purchased a gold and a silver. I loved everything and, quite unusual for me, almost nothing from my boxes went up for swap. All I put on the swap board were the fancy chocolates in the box and eyeshadow stacks and I was inundated with requests for them. Personally I have found myself moving away from the cheaper once a month boxes to quarterly and LE boxes and I have been much much happier with these premium boxes. Almost 100 percent of what I receive is now either perfect for me or suitable for gifting. Frankly so much of the other boxes were including foil packets, handmade skincare, and knotted bits of string they were calling jewelry it was all just being put up for swap and taking a lot of time to get rid of. For me this box was actually a home run. Am I the only one who really liked the box?

I’m still in the fence about whether or not this box is for me. If anyone wants to purchase for cost +shipping please email me, I have the silver version.
NOTE: I did spray the perfume once. [email protected]

Regarding RV, some are inflated some are not. Deepa Gurnani actually sells at RV, even on eBay. Yes you can get a cheap replicas but that would hardly be luxe, if this is a brand you desire you are likely going to pay RV. The same is true for Robyn Rhodes. What one feels the value of her pieces are really is quite irrelevant, this is what they actually sell for so if you want one of her pieces that’s likely what you will pay. To include these items in luxe boxes makes complete sense to me, I wouldn’t purchase them on my own but at a fraction of the price I am thrilled! Bella Pierre is fairly accurate with their retail “value”. Bare Escentuals claims a retail “value” of $110 for 10 pods yet they sell for $30. I have used minerals for as long as I can remember and Bella Pierre is superior to BE, IMO….. But let’s be real, no one would actually spend $90 on that stack! I am satisfied with the brushes, I feel that the quality is consistent with most synthetic brushes I have purchased from Ulta and Sephora.

I think it’s fair to deduct $80 from the retail value of the box (for the Bella Pierre). That’s still an actual RV of $377 which is still a great deal if you are happy with the selection.

Home and Spa? Really? This box was a huge disappointment. The bracelet and ring are uncomfortable and cheap looking. I’m allergic to chocolate (I know, sad isn’t it?) I wish these boxes would stop sending candy. I can buy candy anywhere for a lot less. The perfume was just okay – the packaging being the most “luxe” thing about it. Those brushes in that awful faux-sticky shiny black plastic case – disappointing to say the least. That awkward stack of mineral shadows reminded me of those cheap towers of lipsticks you used to be able to buy – and were also messy. The colors are pretty though. The headband was pretty but not something I would wear often. Never again… Where is the HOME item??

I’m often so thrown by RV in these boxes … I would NEVER EVER EVER spend $60+ on a headband. You can get lookalikes at Forever 21 (at a lower quality, sure, but whatever for a headband) for about $7. So glad I didn’t get this one.

Ok, is it weird I see this and think, “Dang! Wish I had been getting boxes in August so I knew about this?!” I think it’s it’s pretty good… But, not amazing. They seem to promise luxury, and if I can get a swap or buy one of these from someone who hates theirs, probably will… However, I purchased the LE holiday one, so fingers crossed it’s more “luxurious” than this one!

I did not order this box. I did order the special edition December box. I wonder how Rose et Marius feels about being in the same box as Bellapierre. I would not expect to find Bellapierre in this box. That mistake makes me feel nervous because I paid a lot of money on the basis that they know what they are doing.

I love the headband! I’m in my 40s all the time and wear headbands because I have long, beachy waves/curly hair. I receive compliments all the time when I wear headbands.

This makes me nervous about the $175 x 2 I just plunked down for that special edition box…. Will there be anything other than the clutches worthwhile in that box? I’m really not impressed with this, at all.

I get the impression it’s a small company (they don’t even have proper ways to order….you go through paypal), in contrast to something like Rachel Zoe or Popsugar Must Have, which is much better connected in the luxury industry.

Hmmmm. I was definitely disappointed when I opened the box. This was my present to myself when I successfully defended my comprehensive exam paper. $135 is a lot to spend for PhD student.

None of these items are things I would have chosen myself. That said, after having had the box for a day, the items are growing on me.

I got the sea salt chocolate bar and LOVE it. So good! I can’t believe I have any of it left. Initially when I saw the jewelry I thought it looked cheap and awful. But I wore the bracelet today and thought it looked pretty and elegant on my wrist, and is a good piece for work. The ring is cool but I agree that it’s uncomfortable. I was stunned when I saw Bella Pierre items in a “luxe” box, just like many others. When I tried the mineral powders, however, I found the colors to be very beautiful. I do hate the packaging though as I could easily spill an entire color if I’m not careful, since there are no protective lids over the colors. And the fact that it’s available for such a discount says to me that Luxor Box got it for an insane discount as well. Haven’t tried the brushes but they do look cheap, and the container is ugly. They do look easy to travel with though so I’ll give them a shot. Headband is pretty but a little cheap-looking, imo. I was also not a fan of the necklace by this company that was in the Fall Popsugar box. I think it’ll look kind of nice on days when my bangs aren’t behaving, and is more work-appropriate than the super boho style headbands I already own. The perfume packaging is beautiful but I am not crazy about the scent; it’s nice but not outstanding. I’ll see how it holds up over a full day of wear. Those chocolates are to pretty to eat!! I think that will make a nice gift.

I’m not nearly as incensed as everyone else seems to be. I think $100 would have been a better price, and they should have chosen a more luxe makeup brand, but I’ll use all the items and I like the bracelet, mineral makeup stack, and the chocolate. I can’t help but compare to PopSugar and think that they do a much better job of curating LE boxes that cost less than this.

Id like to add that the chocolate in mine was melted because in houston its still been 90 plus each day. I emailed them last night and by this morning i had a nice response from them that they will send a replacement on ice shortly. As long as they follow up on that i will be happy. I have no reason to believe they won’t do it.

I would have loved the perfume and chocolates, and the headband is pretty for the holidays. I’m glad I didn’t buy this one though.

Worst. Box. Ever. And that’s saying a lot.

The fragrance is hardly “light and fresh,” the jewelry is really poor quality, the makeup is overpriced (the brush set is particularly crappy), and the headband is so tight it gives me a headache. The box of chocolates were delicious, but I received the rum raisin bar, and that went in the trash. I’ll be lucky to get a few bucks at the garage sale.

Here’s a question: What exactly does 14k gold “finished” mean?

I’ve done some research and the closest I can find is that “finished” is a kind of broad term that could mean it’s gold electroplated or just that it is finished in something with a gold tone.

Since these pieces say 14k gold, they must have real gold in the finishing, but I suspect the plating isn’t thick enough to actually call it “gold plate,” or they would have just called it gold plated.

Thoughts anyone??

I was overall pleased but def frustrated with huge discrepancy on RV of stackable powder. Side note–I loved the headband and went to the makers website to look at others. The first one that comes up is called the Katie, costs $56 and says it’s featured in PSMH. Does anyone know if it was in an older box, or could it hopefully maybe be a spoiler on an item to come??

For what it’s worth, I just ate the chocolate bar and it’s HEAVENLY! When I opened it yesterday, was not pleased to get that temptation. But it was amazing.

The box was overall okay for me. I love the perfume. The jewelry was a nice style, but seems a little flimsy. Like if I try to adjust the size it’ll break. I hate the make up and brushes, so cheap. My brush set smells so bad like cheap fake leather. The headband is pretty, but nothing I’d wear. I love chocolate, but not in $135 box. The retail prices they listed are a joke. If I had to do over I would not buy. At least I got the clutch I want for the December box. I will definitely not do a reoccurring sub with them.

I’ve commented on this elsewhere in your site but I’m going to keep going. The Bellepiere items really do damage to the idea of this as a luxe box. They have appeared in literally every sub box out there …. nothing luxe about it. Aside from that, not a terrible box but so terribly inconsistent! As others have commented, they didn’t live up to their advertising claims, sigh. Curiously, I found this box less disappointing than the Luxe Provence box.

The only items I am interested in from this box is the perfume and chocolate. I wouldn’t end up using anything else. Jewelry is incredibly hard for me to like; I am more likely to enjoy a perfume than a piece of jewelry. That’s why I typically stay away from these types of boxes that tend to send jewelry as their high price item. It’s too risky for me to buy one and not like the pieces.

I agree with everyone else about the BellaPierre being out of place in a “luxe” box. It’s along the lines of Be A Bombshell when it comes to sub box beauty. We often get full sizes of these items in lower priced beauty boxes. It seems to be a fairly common thing.

Ugh. Worst impulse buy ever. So glad I didn’t jump on the December box.. This is HUGE disappointment. Cannot believe I wasted $135 on this. Horrible job and misleading advertising, Luxor Box.

I wonder if Rose et Marius will reconsider contributing to sub boxes after seeing their perfume next to the Bella Pierre items.

I was hoping for a “home” item in this box, too… in fact, I thought that was one of the advertised categories. While I’m not disappointed with this box, it does lean heavily on beauty/jewelry which is a bit … common? I was hoping for more variety.
