Got it!  Loved it :)  Nearly did an unboxing vid but got too impatient waiting for the little human to go down for her nap so just gripped it and ripped it!

Have just looked that the violet box... was wondering what you ladies think, is it work the sunscription I dont want to sign up to something that is not worth it, have looked on the orginal thread regarding the violet box and saw that some ladies have negiative to say about it, regarding the billing????

The first box was WELL worth it.  But I assume a first box is always good as they're trying to hook you in.  Which they've succeeded :)   I'll definitely be getting a second.  Fingers crossed they started as they mean to go on. There was a bit of a mixup with the overcharging, but they rectified it - with mixed results apparently.  However considering the value of the box I'm not bothered by a few cents or a $1 or $2 :)  (Although if it becomes a constant mixup and the box standard drops I will unsubscribe - I'm pretty easygoing, but only to a point.)

Pretty happy with it, a couple of things I wasn't fussed about but the other products more than made up for it.  If you want to check out my video, check it out here.  If you haven't got yours yet, don't watch it he he he

I've always been really hesitant about these beauty boxes because I just know I'll end up with a bunch of stuff I would never use. But mumof3munchkins I watched your clip and it looked pretty awesome I gotta say!

I havent received mine, but had a look at my Violetbox account and it still says processing, so now I dont know if I'm even getting mine this month at all. Which upsets me :( sniff sniff....

I got mine today! It was such a nice suprise in the mail when I got home. I had a quick look today but I'm not supposed to be spending money so I've hidden it from Hubby and I'll have a good look and try things out on Saturday :)

Got mine today.  Seems ok, but not sure how much use I'll get out of the products as I'm quite pale.  I think I'm just too picky about my makeup products to do a monthly subscription box. :)  Maybe a monthly skin care box, if there is one...

I so can't wait to get mine, hope I use everything otherwise I'll unsubscribe since I already have so many products to get through anyway. But I am very much looking forward to getting it anyway!

Violet box is being delivered by the mail service so when your mail comes so will the box, Saturday is a mail day for many areas so if you normally see the postie on Saturday then there is chance you will get it then if not received today.  Postie left mine in the letterbox (well the space under it =)

I'm not sure how I feel about the box, I was expecting it to be quite high end after seeing lots of the Aussie unboxings and the amazing products, but saying that I think I might jump in for the next box and see what happens.

I got mine after work today and I am very happy with the contents.  I may not use one of the products as it may not be the right shade but I guess that's the risk you take with subscription boxes.
I'll do another couple and see how it goes, but at this stage I'm more than happy.

Oh sorry you weren't that fussed over it hun.  Maybe it was my video that you put you off lol.  There were a couple of things I wouldn't use, but the value you got from it (the products I would use) and the price I paid, I thought were well worth it.  It wasn't as spectacular as I thought it was going to be since watching the Youtube videos, but I still like them.  With the products I won't use, I usually give them away to friends, or put them in a nice box and give them away as presents, that way its like they are also receiving the box.  Great gift ideas :-)  I keep my friends and family well stocked up on beauty products he he he.

I just cancelled without receiving my first box, lol. I looked around and saw how many unopened, unused products I have, it's horrible! And I ordered so much korean stuff from roseroseshop and there are so many memeboxes coming my way, I'm a crazy box-lady!:D
Just got mine today and I live rural Hamilton, I'm pleased with my products probably on one thing I wouldn't normally use but will give it a go! Will stay subscribed for my next box and see how it goes :)

I just got mine delivered today (I'm in Wellington) and I wouldnt rave about it but will see how the next box is before I decide if I am going to cancel it.

I didnt receive a card that explains all the products and the powder colour was very dark for my skin tone- did everyone receive the Amber colour? Bit of a shame to include a colour that probably isnt going to suit many people and it was their 'hero' product (being the most expensive in the box) Although I did read one girls blog saying she was going to try it as a bronzer which could be an idea.

I didn't order a box but have seen quite a few people say the colour included doesn't suit them. There seems to be a few different colours, so maybe you could set up a swap? Perhaps through the facebook group?

I received amber too and, as you can see from my pic, I'm very fair. :) I did try it as a contour and it was actually quite nice. It blends really well.

I thought the April box was SO good, it worked out to be around $146 worth of products. For only paying $29.95 that is an amazing deal! I did a review of it on my blog if you want to read more about it and see what was included - cassandramyee.blogspot.com

I just signed up to get the May box to see what its all about. If I don't like it, I'll give it another chance and see what June's is like before I cancel.

A few haven't received theirs yet I believe hun, if you're worried, maybe message them on facebook, they are usually really good at getting back to you.  It could also be because of the public holidays we've been having so maybe a slight delay to some areas.  

In regards to the processing side of things, Violet Box said that as long as you are subscribed, it will always say processing :-)

My box showed up on Saturday which was a bit of a surprise, it came all the way from Australia so I would expect that a few might get delayed. I am a bit so-so about my box as it was missing a product, but grateful I got a powder shade I can use. I am hoping the next one is good!

I got mine and I'm pretty happy with what I got.

Like gaijinchick though, one of the things I got was waaaaaaaay off for my complexion but I think I have found another use for it.

Will definitely be getting the next one, even if this one was just a one off, fantastic box!

Mrs_rain85, I got some too that I totally forgot about, their website hasn't been updated the last time I looked I'll take a lookies and post back if I find anything.  I believe they can be used in the shop area and will be on her account, however the shop area of the website wasn't functionally when I last checked.

Have completely forgotten when they get sent out again, could someone please confirm this lol.  
Didn't know you got points though, thanks for sharing.  Is that for everyone or just if its your birthday?

I think they send them out around mid-month so they get to us by the end of the month.  Also I got points for my birthday but I don't think I can spend them yet because the shop part of Violet Box nz still doesn't appear to exist.  (I can't wait for it to exist!  Shop!  Shop!  SHOP!)
