Luxor Box Holiday "Luxe Gifts" Limited Edition 2015 Review

Luxor Box is a newer subscription that's definitely in the higher echelon of price ranges.  The subscription is bi-monthly selection of full sized products with a value of around $275. They also have a new Petite Box with fewer items and a much lower price.

The "luxe" theme is very apparent with all the metallics involved! I miiight be drooling over mostly everything.

The Cost: Luxor Box- $125 every-other-month for US deliveries and $155 every-other-month for Canada deliveries.  Petite- $39.95 every-other-month for US deliveries (not available in Canada).

What You Get: Luxor Box features 5-9 products ($275+ value). The Luxor Box Petite contains 2-4 ($75+ value) of the 5-9 products being featured from Luxor Box for each shipment.

This particular box is a Limited Edition version and cost a whopping $175. Before you wonder why on earth I got it, I have to admit to a certain penchant for clutches. And this particular box offered a choice of colors for a 1951 Maison leather clutch. Since these are about $90 on their own (and shipped from France) and I've been wanting one, I bit the bullet and subscribed. This box was advertised with a total box value of $500+ and six unique products.

I've not been super thrilled or overwhelmed by the previous regular or limited edition boxes, at least enough to actually subscribe but this seemed like a good way to get the clutch I wanted.

1951 Maison Franciase in Silver Leo- This is what I've been wanting! Since OuiPlease refuses to manage to send me one, this at least guaranteed it. Made of genuine cow leather pouch with a red and white polka dot inner lining. Size large is 9" x 5.25
Value: $93

Graphic Image 2016 Notebook- This is heavy duty! It's a notebook, a planner, a map, a subway guide... It basically has everything you need to know along with abilites to collect everything you want to write about each day.

Value: $70

Tatcha Polished Rice Enzyme Powder-  This creamy, water-activated exfoliant polishes skin daily to a jewel-like luster. Nourishing Japanese rice bran blends with papaya extracts to address fine lines, uneven skintone, hyperpigmentation, and breakouts. Crushed pearl conditions and balances skin while natural exfoliants gently buff away dullness and dead skin cells—leaving skin perfectly prepared for your favorite serum or moisturizer with more effective results. 

Value: $65

Deepa Gurnani Claire Fantasy Flower Skinny Cuff- I think this is ridiculously overpriced. For the most part, everything from this brand is. The crystals are not high quality and I think the color combination is weird. The crystals are hand sewn onto a leather backing and has a sort of drawstring type "clasp" that can be lengthened to accomodate pretty much any size wrist.

Value: $90

Jesse and Co. Hope and Love Catch All- Handcrafted in a Metallic Platinum leather lining inside and a contrasting Taupe pebbled leather on the outside. It is embossed with inspiring words Hope & Love. The measurements are 4-1/2" X 4-1/2" and 1" high.

This is very pretty. It smells kind of funny. I cannot believe that it's $130... Hm.

Value: $130

Checkerboard Conversation Cards and Envelopes-Comprised of paper stock with a velvety-rich texture. The entire set comes in clear plastic packaging for preservation and portability. This item is sold in sets of 8.

These are heavy duty cards and are very sleek and professional. I need a reason to use them because they're so nice!

Value: $19.99

VERDICT: I am so happy to have the silver 1951 clutch! The other items are not as awesome. They're nice but not for the prices that are listed as retail. I don't think I would ever spend $175 on another box. The value of this box is $468 (retail) and is basically about $35 per product in the box. I figure that it'll be worth it in gifting abilities. I don't know. I'm sort of ambivalent because I love the clutch so much that it makes up for other inadequacies. 

This box is no longer for sale but you can sign up for one of their bi-monthly regular and petite boxes on their website. No coupons that I know of. They do ship to US and Canada.

What do you think of this box? Someone either validate my feelings or make me feel better or something... haha!
