Zoya Mystery Box

juperier — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 23:04:19 GMT

Zoya just opened pre-orders on their 2016 Mystery Box. Info and a link are in their YouTube video uploaded earlier today and on their Facebook page (just scroll down to posts).. I got an email, so if you're on the mailing list you will likely get notified that way.

@juperier - Thanks for the heads up! Once again, no email from Zoya for me. I'm going to check my account with them to try to see what's going on.

Have you ordered a Mystery Box before? Any idea of the kind of contents?

(ETA: I just went into my account. All my recent order info has disappeared and my email preferences had been set to none. I have no idea what happened! My personal info was all still there. Weird and a bit unsettling.)

I decided to just go for it and have already ordered. It will be fun to see what's inside it!

@Venezia It's been at least a couple years since I ordered one. This one has way more items (11) than in the past, and costs a bit more. Last year's box was $20 and contained 3 full size polishes, Naked Manicure full size base and top coat plus mini size Perfector, 2 oz Remove+ and tube of Lip Repair Balm. 2014 was $15 and contained Mini Color Lock System, 3 mini polishes, Nail Growth Stimulator (the $12 size) and full size matte lipstick or Lip Repair Balm. They traditionallly also include a coupon code(s) for future purchases.

How could any coupon code be better than the 70% off sale. Hopefully, mine ships on Monday because I ordered a color that delayed the order being shipped.

@CalMom I'm guessing more along the lines of 50% and/or maybe something free, so no, not as good as 70/% off. But people order polish all year round., I'm sure many even order at full price.

My six polishes just shipped (wish I could have justified many more, but my priorty is always indie polishes...ordered a BUNCH of those from multiple makers (even tho the % off wasn't as great). Hope the polish holding up the order gets restocked soon so your order can ship!

I'm really tempted to order one, but I'm staying strong. I actually added it to, and removed it from, my cart...twice! LOL I keep telling myself that the $30 I'd spend on this would buy 6 of the colors on my wishlist next time there is a BOGO sale. I hope everyone that buys one gets some nice goodies. I bought the mystery box in 2014 and was happy with my purchase.

I received my Mystery Box and am VERY happy. If you ordered, haven't received it and want it to be a surprise....stop reading now!

The box included the large size of their cuticle oil gel, a full size lip balm, two full size lipsticks (Paisley and Jasmine), mini 3-piece Naked Manicure (base coat/lavender perfector/top coat), 3 full size polishes (one from each of the three current collections...Olivera, Alicia and Debbie).and a 1 oz bottle of Remove+. There are also 3 coupon codes...Free shipping, Remove+ Big Flipper, Polish +Lipstick of choice (the latter 2 coupon codes require $12 purchase and include free shipping). Now I've got an excuse to purchase a couple more polishes.

Also, if you have an account with them, it never hurts to check "Promo Codes" in your account area...sometimes they sneak in a code linked to your account.

@juperier

The Mystery Box sounds well worth the price. Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I'm looking forward to receiving it.

My Mystery Box arrived today. I like the 3 new polishes. I'll donate the Naked Manicure items. I purchased a set of it last year and it is not something I use..

I"m sure I'll use the codes.

@lulu2 I already have Alicia, so I'll pass this bottle on. Olivera is so pretty both in the bottle and on the swatch stick. Debbie is also a very pretty shade, but I honestly dont wear brown that often I'll have to put it on and see how I like the look when I'm done with red and green. I never got around to trying the Naked Manicure collection, so I'm happy to finally get a chance to try it. I put it on after I received the box and so far I'm likeing it. The lipsticks are both colors I can actually use,particularly Paisley! I have so many neutral to warm shades from collections that don't particularly work for me. It's nice to get a couple that are at the cooler end. I will definitely be using the lip barm and nail oil gel. And I can always use remover. So very much a winner for me!

I'm planning to use at least one of the coupons. The creme half of the Urban Grunge collection, the Enchanted collection and the Neutral 3 collection are all somewhere on my "want" list. Buy a couple of colors and get remover, buy a couple more and get a free polish and lipstick....yeah, I definitely see a couple of small order in January. Most likely I'll complete the Enchanted collection.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

The 2018 box is available for those interested.

FYI- with the 2018 edition, you buy three polishes of your choice ($30) and get the box worth $120 plus coupons for free. shipping is also free. I'm a little zoya'd out so I'm skipping this year but it's a great deal! Use code MYST38 on the zoya website.

I am the one who doesn’t like surprises. I would rather pay a little more,but get the colors I really really like because if I received a color I do not like, it is overpaying anyways for me.

Re: Zoya Mystery Box

juperier — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 04:49:25 GMT

@SANNA Mystery boxes definitely aren't for everyone. On the other hand, you do get to choose the three polishes you are purchasing (at full price).

@BostonMom 59 I can't tell from your response if you've purchased previous mystery boxes. In case you haven't, the majority of the items in the box are not nail polish.

In prior years you purchased the box itself (rather then buying polish and getting the box free). Excluding the three full sized polishes and two full sized lipsticks in the box (which I liked, but obvouisly individual color/finish preferences vary), I still more than got more than my money's worth. I quite like the base and top coats from the 3-piece mini Naked Manicure kit. I also used and liked the full size lip balm and cuticle oil. And I can always use a couple more ounces of polish remover. I can't remember what the coupons were for, never got around to using them.

So JodisPolish (youtube channel) released her unboxing of the latest Zoya Mystery Box. Let's just say I'm VERY HAPPY with the contents. It contains three products I would have been ordering in the near future anyway, plus several other products I already know I like or look forward to trying. For me it is definitely worth paying full price for three polishes.

Thanks for posting this. I cancelled my order. I have everything in the box except the lotion and spray.
