I think I'm in the very small minority here, but I do like the Special Edition box. I certainly like it more than the September Popsugar box. For the September box, the only things I'm interested in are the scarf and the chocolate. I'm really not even sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the items. Blah. Several people have commented that the regular box is more fall-oriented than the LE box. I don't see how it is fall themed at all, really.
Anyway, I'm wearing the scarf from the LE box today. Second time I've worn it and I've gotten lots of compliments. It's not a pattern I would have picked out, but the colors are beautiful and it drapes well. It seems like a more formal, more dressed up accessory.
I love the lipstick. Such a pretty color and it lasts forever on.
I also really like the perfume. It definitely has a sharp dark note at first, but that quickly fades and you are left with a really pretty warm vanilla scent.
The face wash is, well, facial cleanser. But it is mild and effective. I will use the entire bottle.
I haven't tried the gummies yet. Yes, I would have preferred something pumpkinish, but I'm guessing that they were going for the whole Fashion Week thing with the shapes of the candy.
The hat is soft and a little big, yes. I'm guessing that it is meant to be worn slouchy. A black version of the same hat is now on the Joie website listed for $98. I played around with it a couple of times and I think that it will be cute.
Are the prices inflated for the hat and scarf? Yes, but so is a lot of fashion. Would I have ever paid that much for either item? No, but it is fun to have them and fun to get two brand new accessory items before they were made available to the retail public.
