I like the spoilers but the price is still too high for me.

Hmmm...still on the fence. There's probably 1-2 makeup items and 1 food item as well. I wish the box shipped sooner. I hate paying and waiting.
I'm eyeing both the Urban Decay Vice 4 and the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palettes.   But I could take that $250 cost of the box and buy both palettes and the silver tassel necklace and have some change.  Nope, still not enough to make me buy the box.  Sorry PSMH.  

 
Well, it's confirmed. This box is not for me.  I was hoping for some color and bling for the holidays but these items are not delivering.  I don't even know who I would gift them to.

 
I don't care for any of the spoilers, so this box is an easy pass for me. Plus I will never spend that much on one box, just too much for me. I'd rather just buy the specific things that I need. 

 
I like both of these spoilers so far.  I m excited for the rest of this box.  I hope there is a luxury make-up/skincare item another home item of some sort (seriously wouldn't mind another candle like last years that ended up being one of my all time fave candles,  and I will never end up paying full price to get another lol).  A yummy treat and that still leave like 2 more items- oh the possibilities.  Over on Facebook Popsugar gave the following response when asked if the value was lower this year or the $500 referred to the prize value of the 2 boxes The retail value is over $650. The $500 is indeed the sum of the price for two Neiman Marcus boxes.  So fingers crossed the rest of the box is amazing!! Ship early puhleasssse!  What else would you  love to see in this box?

​yeah, psyched about the cost. we knew right everyone was quoting the the value of the 2 - $250 boxes as $500 value. they erred stating that given everyone jumps on values of these boxes versus values of 2 prizes.   I'm not thrilled about the curtain pull looking necklace (if it was in another color I would have another image in my head). So that will go up for trade.  The tray is nice though

 
I'm really happy--this still leaves room for about $400 worth of items for the remaining 5 things.

Plus, the food item is usually lower priced, so it's more likely we will get a $50 food item and then 4 $85 items, some of which will be beauty items. I'm really curious about what beauty brands we'll get. Before they've had le métier, chantecaille, and lancer...

 
I was perusing the NM site and the christmas catalog and here are a few things (aka a lot of things lol) I d love to see in this box.  Come on ladies play along what items catch your eyes?

Sorry so long!  I couldn't narrow it down so many goodies at NM!

 
I nominate you @@Teach22 to be our curator-- I love everything you picked! I WANT that Oribe set- his products make my hair look supermodel- esque & the smell is intoxicating!!
Aww thats so sweet, thanks!  How fun (and scary) would that be! I m hoping the Oribe set makes an appearance in the box too love that line but its so pricey I only use it when it shows up in a box. Fingers crossed these boxes rock!  I ll be so excited if any of those items end up in the box lol :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree! I would love the oribe set too! I still have the one from the 2013 box and I use often, it's the never ending hair spray! soooo good! I tried samples of the first shampoo/conditioner years ago and was not blown away but I think they have been replaced by new versions...

I saw somewhere that PS said 7 items are in the box, so we still have 5 more to go!

I have a spike bracelet by Eddie Borgo and it is very high quality + it's stamped 925 silver...It def looks better in person than in pictures so you are on fence about necklace you may like it better when it arrives!

Eddie Borgo also launched a line of bags (I think with Neiman Marcus, not 100% sure exclusively) He also designed the GWP bags for the spring NM beauty bags...

I'm thinking they will 100% do a designer candle as they have the past 2 years! hoping it's Diptique, they have the best candles!

I'm trying to think of which brand they will do for the box, I feel like it will be a more obscure one that is not owned by Estée Lauder which owns sooo many brands from MAC, Tom Ford to Bobbi Brown...hmmmm...
Edward Bess, Tata Haper (think she was in birch box), and Eve Lom are some that could def be in box just based on a a quick look + a guess! I'd love to try Edward Bess, heard great things esp about his lip products + powders!

Those are great guesses--I was going to guess Jo Malone for a home scent or candle but they're owned by Estee Lauder too...

I m hoping for a fancy candle too- I love the one from last year I have it burning right now and am so sad its almost gone and as much as I love it there is no way in the world I d pay $88 for it!

 
Is this the longest that a NM/LE box has been available - I'm used to them selling within 1-2 days so I'm wondering if they will keep releasing spoilers until they sell out.

Last year's was available for a long time (after full spoilers), but the first year's sold out very early.

 
Another spoiler

That seals it for me, I'm def. out.
Me too. I was originally on the fence, but that necklace is not my style. I am sure it is beautiful in person, and I'd probably end up wearing it, but it's definitely not something I would ever pick out in a store. and I can get a tray at Ross/Marshalls that looks just as nice for $20 if I really have to have one. Not trying to bag on this box, but it's just completely not anything I personally would be excited to get. So I'm really really happy I opted out, because now I can use that money for something else.

That's me too.

I'm sure there will be additional items that I really will like in this box, I liked and would love to have had a few items from each of the past boxes, but I can't swing the cost right now with my sister's wedding next month. It's not that any of the items are bad or poor choices, they're lovely, but won't fit my needs or wants even for gifts or trades.
