Margot Elena Subscription Box – Fall 2018 Review

I accidentally signed up for 2 subs. I’m actually glad because I love having doubles! Everything was so nice and wonderful quality!

Made me happy after the letdown of Luxe Pineapple closing down and running off with all my money from their prepaid deals.

Does anyone have any coupons for Margot Elena or Cottage Greenhouse? I had a GMA Deals item in my cart for 50% off, and it sold out before I could checkout! I am so sad.

There’s a 50% off sale on many of their products on their site, today only (Friday) till midnight.

I love the cucumber lip balm. I didn’t think I would like that scent but it doesn’t seem to have a taste, which I’m glad about, the texture is smooth and soothing, and I like the large size. I will buy this product.

I’ve been loving my box! I tend to lean towards less overtly feminine, floral scents, but I loved everything but the Dream duo which seems just too powdery for me. I got the French text bag, which is my least favorite variation and the eye mask I got isn’t my favorite, but it’s lovely still. I got this box after I saw the summer box review and it’s just a stunning box because even if you don’t love something the packaging is so immensely giftable.

This box looks fabulous, and I would love to subscribe- but I’m totally overloaded with similar products at the moment. Have to get through those first.

Omg. Gorgeous.
Every item a hit!

I wish this box shipped to Canada. I would sub to it in a heartbeat!!!!

As always this box was FABULOUS!! It’s always difficult for me to part with items to give as gifts. And honestly I find it incredibly difficult to even use the items since they are so beautifully packaged that I just want to stare that them..( I think that I might just have some issues!!) I received every ME box so far and my annual subscription will be over after receiving the Winter box, but I will ABSOLUTELY be resubscribing for another annual sub, as I just couldn’t bear to miss one of these boxes!!

This was my first Margot Elena box, and I’m bummed I have to wait for three months for another! I was giddy when I saw this on my step, and I haven’t been excited for a sub in a while. I gingerly unwrapped each thing waiting to see what was going to unfold! I’m glad there wasn’t any gardenia stuff as that kind of scent gives me a migraine. Each sent that was in the box was lovely. If you don’t like fragrance, this is not the sub for you. But luckily it is the sub for me!

Absolutely my favorite subscription box! I like the variations, I think it keeps it interesting. I am allergic to heavily scented items, but was grateful that I didn’t want to be a pig and keep everything in the box this time and will actually share. The packaging is beautiful and there is never any question about the value of the box. Truly a joy.

This box looks amazing and wish I could have bought it. I’ve been following this box for sometime now but after reading the review now I have such Fomo!
Liz thank you for the review. You always do such a great job!!

If I had to choose one word to describe the Margot Elena box, I’d pick “enchanting.” It’s a feast for the senses. The gorgeous packaging, lush textures and of course, the incredible fragrances. It seems each box has a range; from light, fresh “day smells” to deeper more complex “night smells.” (As my friend classifies scents lol). The other thing I love about this box are the verifiable, uninflected retail values. It’s the real deal all the way around.

I have been subscribing to boxes for years and this was my first Margot Elena. I have to say it is the best box I have EVER received. I love the products and the packaging. There are several items that are not my style that I will gift. I am so glad I have a year subscription!

Margot Elena has excellent customer service…. my rollerball came completely shattered within its cardboard packaging, so I sent them an email with a picture requesting a replacement, and they replied so promptly with a kind and sincere apology letting me know a replacement was on its way, and within a matter of only 3 or 4 days I had a new rollerball. I was so impressed with the speed of receiving the replacement, it almost didn’t even feel like I was without it at all!

I love this box! I’ve gotten it for a year and I’m very much looking forward to my subscription renewing. It’s the only box I have left and I will keep it for the foreseeable future. I love 80% of what they send and the other things are very giftable. Best sub ever!

I’m actually disappointed in the lukewarm tone of Liz’s review.
Because this is known to be a box crammed full of multi-scented body and bath items, and Liz states in this review and elsewhere that she doesn’t use scented body and bath products, I think someone who does use and love the Margot Elena lines of products should review it.

I don’t like lavender scent, and am actually allergic to the flowering herb, so I’d be biased in my review of a Luxe Provence box, as they almost always contained lavender- scented products. Provence, France is renowned for its fields of lavender!

I am allergic to cats, don’t own a cat, and don’t have an affinity for cats, so I would not want to get a cat pet box. OTOH, I live with several fluffy hypoallergenic pups and enjoy seeing them react and interact with items in a dog box like Barkbox.

it’s all about our different perspectives. Some boxes aren’t a good fit for the reviewer. MSA has a lot of this dichotomy going on right now. IMO.

This is my favorite box subscription of all time! All quality products beautifully curated and wonderfully packaged. The unboxing experience is simply divine. I loved everything in the box!

I really have to say the unboxing of this was an amazing experience that’s not visually covered in the review too much. Every item–like everything–was individually wrapped in fall colored tissue paper. The entire contents came bound up in monogrammed M.E. matching, gold and brownish maroon paper. There is a beautifully written, thick stock paper letter that Margot writes to her customers waiting for you on top. It was just visually stunning and felt incredibly luxurious, like someone sent you a very fancy, expensive treasure chest for you to indulge yourself with. It took quite a while to unwrap every item. It’s IMPRESSIVE.

Margot Elena makes perfumes, candles, thick hand creams, etc. that are SCENTED and supposed to be that way. If you are into scents, this box is for you!! There is a TON of new scents to experience! If you usually use unscented or faintly scented soaps or lotions or if you don’t like perfumes, it’s not going to make you too happy to get this box. For a scent lover like myself, trying out everything is heaven!

As for the items that are not scent-oriented: In my opinion, the eye mask was comfortable and pretty but I do not use them for light blocking. I have a big head and it fit on me just fine. The tote bag was okay but I wish I’d gotten a different print. I think one print for all might have gone over better. The journal was utterly gorgeous. And I don’t like getting journals or paper products, as a rule, because I feel like it’s often filler.

These have been amazing boxes! I have enjoyed the new, beautiful, intense scents along with the milder ones and will use everything in the box or know someone who will be thrilled to get one of the items for a gift. The experience was superb.

I’d likely think some of the products were too highly fragranced, except for the fact that to me, they are complex fragrances, so they are very interesting and also change as I wear them.

For example, I have the perfume spray with the Eiffel Tower on the inside of the label ( shows through the bottle’s other side). I’d never thought I would like it, but I sprayed a small amount on the inner aspect of my forearm and as I wore it, it changed from a high aldehyde to a very soft and edgy floral, with a rose top note.
The Gin and Rosewater scent, which I now have 2 spray bottles of, seems to be more ” green” than I like. It stays very woodsy and almost masculine- scented on me, but likely doesn’t on other people.

I think all the items are multi-fragranced with a great deal of thought in the creation and inclusion in the subscription boxes. I might feel differently if they start curating with a lot of lavender- scented items ( I am allergic to lavender plus I think it stinks). However, I think the scents they have created for all the long- lasting scent products are multi-note and change on the wearer in the course of a few hours.

This is a high quality feature in items at this price point as opposed to, say, fine French perfumes costing 5 times as much or more, and which are often single note florals.

This was such a gorgeous box. I loved all of the little thoughtful touches too – the soap dispenser top in case you don’t have a bubble bath, the variety of prints on the mask and the tote bag, and the personalized note.

It all feels like a really thoughtful gift. This is such a fantastic box.

I loved everything in my box, except for the tote bag, which contained pictures of the French language school book and the lip scrub, as it was too minty for me. Everything else is adorable, as always. The mask is not functional, really – pretty, but too loose and lets the light through.

I liked everything in the box except the eye mask. It was the item I was most looking forward to from the spoilers.

I wear an eye mask to bed every night. The number one thing an eye mask must to is block out light. Unfortunately this is the worst mask I’ve ever used in terms of letting light through. It’s too bad because it is cute and seems like it would be comfortable. It really needs a darkening layer in the middle, then it would be great.

I do especially like the perfume and lip scrub. Every thought mug in the box is so pretty, nice quality, and I absolutely love the variety in each box.

So I am signing up now and it is $6.95 shipping? I thought it was free shipping? Help please.

Am I the only one that finds their products too fragrant? I love the packaging and the value but I think I would only use the soaps.
