Has anyone received a shipping notification yet?
I'm curious to see the new box.
I got my box. There is no information card in it so I am not sure of all the values. Here are the main items:
Marilou Bio night cream: http://www.laboutiquedalexis.com/organic-night-cream.htm
Institut Karaite Lip Gloss: http://www.institutkariteparis.com/boutique/fiche_produit.cfm?ref=IK0210&type=54&code_lg=lg_fr&num=211
Payot Body Scrub 25 ML (not 200 ML size in link):

Fab & Co Soap: http://www.fabandcosoap.com/
Golden Palmtree bookmark (made in Korea): http://www.amazon.com/Nano-Zizzle-Golden-Elegant-Bookmark/dp/B00UJMJTYW
There also is an old postcard from Cannes and a plastic key chain that I can't really find online. And there is the large postcard that has accompanied all other FrenchBoxes (it's cute). No recipe this time and no folded identification card/list.

Unfortunately I got the rose/gardenia but am allergic to roses. It smells divine, though.

Thanks for sharing! The box looks nice & it's a good value. But, for the price increase to $36 I was hoping for more than just a beauty box. I think I'm out, but I'll probably still stalk the thread. I'm glad they came through, it's just not for me. Think I'll just stick with my annual OuiPlease sub for now.
I got the same products, the lipgloss I got is 101 Passion, it's a darker pink, the soap scent I got is honey and almond which smells good, but I don't use bars of soap. I liked the old postcard of Cannes and the keychain is kinda cool. It's weird there isn't an info card at all. I think for $36 I was expecting a lot more like Popsugar or Little Lace Box. It seems like an average $24 box I would've gotten before. I think I was expecting something a lot more glamorous, a nice red lipstick, maybe a earrings or a necklace. It's a nice box, just not sure it's worth $36 for me.

I just got my box in person & I've changed my mind. The value is not there. I didn't realize the scrub & cream would both be sample sizes. I like the soap or it can be gifted & the lipgloss is cute, but the rest...sample sizes like a $10 Birchbox, only I paid $36. The keychain is made in Korea. The used vintage postcard is kind of cool & might be fun in a little frame, but I don't consider it of any value. I thought the key chain was cool until I took it out & it says CHINA on the plastic casing. Kind of ruins the "French" feel. I too was expecting more of a popsugar type box or at least full sizes & for Frenchbox items to actually be from France? I don't know...call me crazy. And this was the come back box, hmmm. I already cancelled.
I agree with you. I have the yearly subscription but if this is the new 'it' I won't be a subscriber after my yearly is done.
I agree I was expecting something like Popsugar and the made in Korea bookmark was a turnoff for a French box. I liked the postcard and keychain and like the scrub and cream, but they're small. Plus I was really expecting something a lot more glamorous for Cannes.
My favorite thing in this one, besides the actual box itself, was the bookmark, which wasn't even French. Unfortunately I'm stuck with them for a while longer because I signed up for the year. I definitely would not be paying $36 for this if I hadn't paid in advance. The lesson here is sometimes a discount isn't really worth it in the long run.
