My box had the essie in chrome and the gold glitter nail strips. The eyeko was the highlight and I had been planning to purchase it after getting purple from birchbox. The Schick has replaced the Venus as my as razor, but this is the third or fourth free promo one I have received, at least it comes with a high value coupon for replacement blades. The razor and nail products were all products I've tried so I was not excited about, I would prefer more products that were new to me, maybe Canadian products. Toner is always useful and I'll use the skincare and foot products. This was the most beautifully packaged box I have ever received. I am not planning to sign up for the winter box. I got the email that payment was not successfully processed, yeah because the credit card I paid with expired months ago, and this was not supposed to be an auto renew so why was a charge attempted? My expectations were higher after waiting so long and seeing the sneak peak box, which I thought was better. I'm signing up for the Test Tube (New Beauty version) for the winter seasonal box instead of renewing this.

 
I do think there was personalization for the boxes.  My Orlanes were the Super moisturizing concentrate and the Absolute Skin Recovery Care. The Essie was Miss Fancy Pants (a perfect neutral for me), and I got the Biosilk Silk Therapy replenishing hair treatment (15ml). 

Over all, I do like the products. I think the Eyeko, Sally Hansen and Schick items have been making the sample box circuits for a while, but I will solidly use the Schick and Eyeko. And the toner, Olane products and biosilk are all items that I will also use. Is it worth $26? I'm still on the fence about that one....is it 260% better than my Birchboxes have been? Yes. 66% better than my Sample Societies? mmmm...maybe not. 65% of a QVC New Beauty Test Tube...probably (for me at least). 

For new-brand and product learning....I'm not too impressed.

For usable products (Eyeko, razor, essie, orlane, biosilk, the box itself), this is good.

For value? mmm...I'm borderline.

This is how I feel. With all the other issues that came along with it though, I just can't justify another season. I just don't really feel like it was worth all the wait.

 
I have emailed them twice about my missing box with no response.  I just want a refund at this point

I loved this Luxe Box!  I will definitely sign up for the winter season. 

I loved the box, and the card with the gold initial sticker, and the silky scarf which the products were wrapped in.

I loved that it was a mixture of makeup and body care.

I loved that we received eight quality, useful items.

I loved that the Essie colors are the current, hot colors for fall.

I loved that there was no deodorant, sunscreen or self-tanner in the box - don't like those - not fun.

Sometimes the Myglam products are too young for me.  And, the last test tube seemed too old for me - too many eye bag and wrinkle creams and no fun makeup or perfume.  But, this Luxe Box has a good mix of items I like and will use.

Wonder if that scarf is large enough to wear?

They tried to charge me again too & emailed about that - but can't bother to respond about missing boxes.  Very shady!!

 
I got an automated response when I submitted a "contact us" form the other day about their BS. It said that I should get a response within 4 days. So hopefully we'll hear something soon, but 4 days is a F$*#()@$ long time to get to responding to emails IMO.

 
I just received an email from them: Thank you for reaching out to Loose Button! I sincerely apologize for the delay in getting back to you.

You should have received a shipping update earlier this week. Fall Luxe Boxes have now been shipped to all our US members. I apologize for the delay! 

The reason for the unexpected delay was that the truck our shipment of Luxe Boxes was on was diverted by US customs authorities because of another company's shipment which was on the same vehicle. We are as frustrated as you are about the delay, and will be planning accordingly when we ship the Winter Luxe Boxes. I understand that you have been waiting for quite some time! Thank you so much for your patience :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

Warm Regards,
Mary

So there you go for anyone wondering. This email only took a week to receive.

 
So it turns out that my box has been forwarded from my old address, now I am just waiting to find out if it is going to my address here in Germany or if My old apartment had it forwarded to my mom's place in Oregon. Either way I should get it sometime in November :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Finally received my box today.  Don't give up if you don't have yours - I never received a shipping confirmation or tracking info.  Now that I have it I am considering the winter collection

I received:

Biosilk

Eyeko Skinny Black Vichy Toner
Orlane Absolute Skin Recovery
Orlane Super Moisturizing Concentrate
Sally Hansen Gold Glitter Strips
Schick Razor
Essie - No Place Like Chrome
Pequi Oil Treatment

 
I just got my box! 

I received:
Eyeko Skinny liner. (Black)
Essie (No place like chrome)
Schick Razor
Orlane Skin Hydration

Orlane Skin Recovery
Joick K-PAK (Got this before from Beauty Army. D:)
Princess Beauty foot balm
Sally Hansen (gold strips. Wish I got the lace one.)

Not really worth the $26 dollars in my point of view but I really like the white box it came in! xD I won't be getting the winter box but I'm glad I gave it a try. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I could have sworn that I already posted the contents of my box already, but I can't find that post now.  I calculated my box value at over $70:

  • Vichy Purete Thermale Refreshing Toner (1 fl oz.  Full size: $18 for 6.76 oz.  Value:  $2.66)
  • Orlane Absolute Skin Recovery Care (3.5 ml.  I think the full-szed version is 1.7 oz, and it's $240, so this sample works out to $15.50) 
  • Orlane Super-Moisturizing Concentrate (3.5 ml.  Guessing on the size again:  $140 for 1.7 oz = $9 for this sample)
  • Schick Hydro Silk razor ($9, and I think I have five of these now)
  • Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips in Glitz Blitz (full-sized.  $9)
  • Eyeko Skinny liquid eyeliner in black (full-sized.  $15)
  • Bobos Remi leave-in conditioner (80 ml.  Full size: $15.50 for 10.15 oz.  Value: $4.12)
  • essie nail polish in Recessionista (full-sized.  $8) 
That third item smells *horrible*.  I'm glad it's a tiny sample because now I won't feel guilty about just tossing it and not giving it a second chance.  I haven't seen the second-to-last item in anyone else's box.  Was I the only one who received it?  I've dug into it a little bit, and I doubt I'll use it because my hair is freakishly healthy (fine and thick.  I'm growing it out, and I'm finding myself remembering one of the big reasons I chopped it off in the first place:  I spend *way* too much time playing with it when it's longer because it's *silky*), and this stuff seems to be meant to make wigs and weaves like my natural hair.

 
HAHAHAHA i literally laughed. Oh loose button, how you never surprise me by being a complete fail. This was a quote from one of my email correspondences with their customer service, "Winter Luxe Boxes will be shipped around the beginning of December and you should receive it that month. " They are really on the ball aren't they?

Oh dear lol. That is kind of laughable. I liked my box and am happy enough getting the winter one as well, but I'll just assume it prob won't arrive until February.
