ok, for those of you that want to know about the $3336.00 makeup box – it is Net a Porter. New this week- The Ultimate Kit- 8 full size versions of their favorite skin, hair and makeup. Sadly, there is no mention of a living, breathing Unicorn included- so I’m sure my hubby would NOT agree. Truthfully, I don’t know what I’m missing anyway LOL! This sure was fun though!

I need more spoilers, before I take the leap.

I’m just loving the price of this! Have we all gone mad? It’s an advent calendar, for Pete’s sake! I always thought that rich people don’t need subcsription boxes nor advent calendars – they just go out and buy whatever they fancy. So who are these expensive boxes and calendars for? Definitely not for me, as I would never dream of dropping such serious cash on an advent calendar, however “premium” it might be.

I’m not poor or in massive debt and I love Diptyque. I won’t be buying this calender but I fail to see how someone who does must be poor or in debt.

I got this for myself last year.
Im not rich but I dont think that should stop you from treating yourself.
Different strokes for different folks.
Im sure we all have something over priced in our possession that others would think its too much.
No kids, an apartment, and a car – in NYC
That’s enough reason alone for me to celebrate and gift myself nice things.
I bought myself a Chanel bag not cause I needed it but cause I want it.
We all need a lil lux in our lives and I dont think there is anything wrong with that

Abby, live your life! We all work very hard and little treasures make it all worth it. 🎁💖I’m in a very competitive industry which “requires” some luxury items such as Chanel bags as well. When I get home, have my glass of wine and light up my Diptyque candles, that’s when I can enjoy my sanctuary.

Abby, I totally agree with you. We are all growns ups, work hard and decide in what we want to spend our money.
In my case, Im just shocked that what started with $10.00 a month (and it was so much fun to wait for that little box of tiny samples) has just escalated for boxes/advent calendars of more than $100.00.
I’ve noticed that people sort of stop enjoying the subscriptions and just rant, had temper tantrums over the content of a box that it was suposed to be about discovering brands or a treat your self ritual.
Im interested about how the market will keep changing. In my opinion subs boxes now feel like an extended theme of your “cheese of the month club”.
I hope everyone that is able to buy this calendar enjoys it. I would personally liked it reviewed as Im unfamiliar with the brand.

Abby I totally agree. I have children, a husband, a full time job,a house etc so I rarely splurge for myself. My splurge is my acrylic nails and going to the nail salon twice a month for a fill and polish change. Some people would say that nails are a huge waste of money. Everyone values different things. Nobody should be fussed at about what they are spending their money on.

I also find an almost $400 advent calendar crazy and far beyond my personal spending desires. To each his own, not ripping on anyone who enjoys these purchases-lucky you!, but for me, it’s an obscene price.

Yeah- I can’t do this one either. But to keep things in perspective- there was a Boxycharm post where the person was going to work extra shifts to be able to do something nice for herself. It touched my heart. I can relate because this is my grocery money for the month! LOL- I did great at the grocery store too! The funniest thing to me was when I was looking at Allure’s beauty award winners for 2017, a lot were drug store items. NOT all the supposed luxury items we all are taught to covet- Just make sure whatever it is, it is valuable to you for the right reasons and have a happy holiday!

I thought buying two was a good idea but then the friend I wanted to give the other one to moved out of the country! Sigh. Let me know if you’re dying to have one, I have an extra (crying laughing emoji haha)

Oh no! I think I’d feel the same way… I wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry!

Wow! $390!!! I remember when my subcription box budget was around $40.00 monthly and it consisted on Birchbox, Beauty Army and Ipsy. Then it escalated to Golden Tote, PSMH and way to much cash on random stuff until I finally cancel everything but LMDB.
Its really interesting how the sub market evolved and how companies marketing are including advent calendars as a sub box sub-market.

I don’t think it’s the companies marketing them like that, it’s the subscription box review sites (like msa) who are showing them on subscription sites to us subscription junkies. But, it makes sense why. We like surprises each month. An advent calendar is a surprise.

I bought this last year and I love it – I am still using my candles and still have several amazing perfumes that i haven’t used yet.

I’m not really into home fragrances, so I’m saved on this one. But, I would *love* it if they ever came out with a calendar that was either all fragrance (like the Atelier calendar), or a mixture fragrance & skin care only (with maybe one or two votives thrown in).

Hi Luna! We’re opposite, I wish this was all candles. That’s why I didn’t get the Jo malone this year because it was fragrance heavy.
Of course, I had to snag this immediately.
They also released all their Holiday 2017 special edition gifts. They carousel is already sold out! 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁
I’m still eagerly anticipating Net-a-Porter since I haven’t jumped in any of the others like I did last year.

I have been holding out for the Net-a-Porter. Received email today and thought it was the box but it was a different new beauty box with a price tag of $3,336.00. Not sure if this is the exact amount but was over $3,000.00. I was a little shocked and will have to pass on this one.
Luna
haha. 😀 I love the idea of candles, but I just never end up using them (unless my power goes out)!
I can’t wait to see what Jo Malone sets Nordstrom is carrying. I usually get those during their holiday 10-point event as gifts for my mom (who’s a huge Jo Malone fan… I’m sure like most Jo Malone fans her vanity looks just like a Jo Malone counter. haha!), and I keep all of the freebies. 🙂 I actually don’t see myself ever getting the Jo Malone calendar only because we have a lady at Nordstrom we always go to, and she hooks us up with a lot of the GWP sized samples that are the size of the ones that are in the calendar. She always gives one set to both me & my mom, but I keep them both since my mom gets all of the full-sized products. 🙂
