Yay I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who jumped in! I have gotten the email to pay and then shipments said will be sent out soon! I am really excited but think a lot of others will get boxes before me because I will be out of town:( Ill post pictures when I get back !

 
I haven't gotten the email to pay yet. I hope she didn't forget about me :/ I will be out of town too. I'm going to try to not look at this thread lol

 
I always say I'm never gonna take a look in the threads but I can't help myself:) indeed some self control! I'm sure your email is coming she was doing in one by one and a few of my friends just got the email! Did you see all those fun sunglasses:) I want them all!

Yeah I did. I just hope they're real. I love me some Betsy Johnson and have some glasses from her already, so I hope I get some more :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
I too jumped in and joined/paid. She sounds like a really nice lady trying hard to do things right. Limmiting #'s, payments by Paypal are just a few things I liked.

She sent personal emails, and then sent me a FaceBook message asking if I had any questions.

I'm a box-junkie also and I like trying new subs....sometimes first boxes are GREAT...

I also signed up this way too.  I was really impressed with the personal touches.  Can't wait to see the first box!

 
Dior - I wasn't attacking you, and number of posts has no effect on who you might know within the community, anyway...

I am very hesitant to subscribe to any box that appears to be home-operated or mostly home-operated. I am not saying that Red Carpet Box has any reason to be suspect, but after the run of recent scams, my money is not going anywhere without a reputable backing for any company.

I am also hesitant to subscribe to new boxes but I made an exception to this one because it was a one time payment through paypal.  At least paypal offers a bit of protection & we don't have to give out credit card numbers.  I figure if it's awful I will not order again.

 
Oh !!! Lucky duck:) I think my luck has ran out this week because I'm last shipped for everything. I just now got glossybox has been shipped! But yay how exciting:) I am so happy that the boxes will be out and on the way! I can't wait to see the boxes! I am gonna try so hard not to keep peaking but it's so hard not to:) I think I saw this morning there was only a few slots left! But I am way to excited!!!

 
In my box was:

1. A full size Stila lip shine in Georgina, I actually like it, it's a brick-ish red, great for fall.

2. A pair of Big Buddha sunglasses. I was hoping for a Betsey Johnson pair, but I actually like these and will wear them.

3. A Borghese nail lacquer in Toscano Nude. Plain, but nude polishes are in, so I'll try it.

4. An Avon Feeling Fine Ultra Thin Eye Liner in Cobalt Jewel. I don't normally wear eyeliner besides my everyday black liquid, but it's a good one and a good winter color, worth trying.

5. A pair of QVC earrings. I do not like them at all, but I am particular about earrings. Will be one of my friends gain. They are very Brighton looking. Antique Gold with a green bead surrounded by rhinestones.
Check the spoiler for the contents of my box. Overall, I liked the items, but I don't know if I would do this monthly or even quarterly. I am attaching pictures as well, but I don't know how to hide those, sorry if anyone doesn't want to be surprised. I am new to this and can't figure out how to hide those. The item I liked most was the Stila lipshine, but it's a night out color, so I won't wear it very often. Everything else for me was just okay, nothing too exciting. I don't want to trash the box because I know Patty has worked hard, but I can't justify the cost based on these items.  





 
I was skeptical at first as well since I'm very frugal!! I LOVE my box!! I Googled and found the lip gloss stick is $12 at lowest price, my glasses were $50, earrings were tagged at $80 - found for $30, Avon eyeliner $6 and nailpolish $7. I give it an overall great value!! I'd post a pic but I'm new!! Look it up on Facebook. Facebook.com/berkscountycouponing (yes, I'm that frugal! So trust me I know a deal!!)

 
Nicoli - those earrings are so beautiful! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But I agree -- just not worth the cost.

Also, are these items just being purchased and sent out, or is she actually working with suppliers from the creators of the products?

I would love to know this as well. It looks like a genuine attempt, but I don't think I'm interested if the items are just purchased from ebay lots or wholesalers. Not saying they are, but I would be interested to know more about where she's getting her products, particularly if the above post is accurate. The owner does seem really nice, and I appreciate that she's not taking too much on before she's established. I wish her luck, and hope everyone's happy with their boxes.

 
I was wondering the same thing. It's not that I'm unhappy with the box, it's just that it's not the right fit for me. I have 7 sub services including this one and I just know I can't afford to keep them all. This is my first month with all of them and I'd like to bring my number down to 4 subscriptions monthly. The only item I really see myself using is the stila lipstick and the cost isn't justified with just that. I can get almost three of my other boxes for the same price. I know she's worked her tail off but when I get my birchbox two days before and it's $10 and I'm happier with it, I have to decide that it's not right for me.
