I wish I wouldn't have peeked, however, that is not going to make a difference to my opinion. I have been a huge LLB cheerleader. I personally, have had the most AMAZING customer service experiences with LLB. Their tightly themed boxes have been ON POINT, which I agree with other comments, the last tightly themed box was Nonna's Kitchen. I jumped in on the sub with the Downton Abbey box (which I loved). I locked in a great price per box, because it was last years annual membership price. I put all the money out at one shot, because I was so jealous of all the boxes I missed, and I was not going to miss the Downton box (only annuals were available). I completely respected when LLB sent out the long email, but laid it out there, that business was booming, and in order to maintain the amazing boxes they were going to go to every other month, and raise prices(I was grandfathered in the original price). I was excited at the prospect the boxes were going to to get even more amazing with more curation time. I don't know if I feel that is the case. I have tried to find one product in each box that I think is GREAT, and worth the price of admission, even if I don't love the box as a whole. This October box, I am having a hard time finding that item that is GREAT to me. While the OFRA cosmetics are really nice pieces of makeup, I feel like they are a LLB sponsor. We were given a bunch of them in Serendipity, and they are all over the LLB shop. So 3 more pieces of OFRA makeup isn't exciting. I don't understand the mints being part of the theme. The perfume thing, and the pashmina are both nice, and could be good gifts to put aside. I really thought there would be some jewelery or more accessories to go with the style theme. The dollar value is there, and I know not everyone will love every box. I am going to hold on, and see how I like the holiday themed box, last years looked awesome, and I love their customer service. I peronally signed up, because the LLB boxes were so different, and quite frankly in an outstanding league of their own, but my feelings are slightly changing. Rant over, lol.
