Oui Please Subscription Box Review – March 2015

Is there a current 20% off code? I’ve read enough reviews to want this one 🙂

Just ordered a year subscription with the coupon code, since I had to buy the 1951 bag from their site! I just had to have it! Question for you girls do u think the sizes of clothes run small? I am 134 pounds 5 7. I normally wear small but can some times be a medium for heightens for my athletic body type.

Also did you half sizers in shoes round up or down? I am 9.5, and do not own a 10 as they tend to be big, I have a few 9s just feels weird to ask for a 10

At the moment, my box is lost and I’m terribly heartbroken. So far Oui Please have been very responsive and I hope they sort this out with FEDEX. Hopefully no one stole my box….

Just letting everyone know the Luxor box (new luxury box) is opening enrollment for march 20th-april 20th

Still feeling like everyone’s disappointment in a $400 value for a $100 box is a bit silly…sorry! 🙂

I would do the same thing if I were OuiPlease (add more to Liz’s box) so that subscribers and potential subscribers could get a review of more items. Maybe their explanation isn’t “honest,” but it appears that various subscribers, not just Liz, receive extras, and they have chosen to do it this way so that we all get to feel special once in a while.

That said, sending a S sweater to a L woman is clearly a mistake and it seems clear that they are working to rectify it. But it is only their second box, and I don’t want them to hold back the extras in the future for fear that people will flip out because they didn’t get the socks/toothpaste/etc./ that someone else got in addition to their box.

I absolutely adore my box and am still really thrilled with it after seeing Liz’s post. HOWEVER, my box is identical to Liz minus 4 ITEMS, which seems really flawed!!! Mine didn’t have the Mirium K hair, toothpaste, socks or bracelet (more than $100 in items), and I didn’t have anything additional in my box that Liz didn’t have. My box was still valued over $400 at least so I’m still happy.

I might be the only one that missed this, but I thought i’d share. Oui Please has 2 emails listed on their site on the right (support and press) in addition to the “form” (general) on the left of the contact page. When I used the form, which was what my eyes instantly went to (i didn’t even see the support email address) I never heard back. Once I realized it was for general inquiries, I used the email on the right ([email protected]) and they got back to me the next day. Hope that helps somebody.

I think I’m going to sign up for the annual subscription, I don’t know what kind of shoes they would ever send unless it’s a pair of ballet flats or something. I just don’t understand why shoe sizes don’t include half sizes. I’m a size 6.5, so should I note 6 or 7? Some people say that OuiPlease doesn’t look at the sizes, but I would think in the instance of shoes it would be a must unless they wanted a lot of customer complaints.

I really think they would do way better if they didn’t make the values so far apart and at least reach the 400$ mark for all boxes. It makes no sense to do a bonus box and not advertise that. IF they did advertise that and kept track of it then that might even encourage more people to join. However, I am a sucker and I signed up for the year box yesterday with the 20% off coupon. I know for 85$ a box I will be getting my value back…even if I have a little box envy sometimes.

I received a reply to my inquiry about the sweaters.

I asked if there was a way to request I not be sent clothing – they’ve said they’ll make a note not to include clothing in my parcels and they’ll make it up to me in my next parcel that my experience wasn’t “flawless” 🙂

I still want to love this subscription (can’t say enough good stuff about the Myriam K line they’ve sent out – most noticeable improvement from any hair product I’ve ever used!) so that’s enough that I’m in for OuiPlease 1.3.

You lucked out for sure, both your boxes have really high values, include more items and are well rounded, what I’d expect from this sub. I’m really not getting why the values are all over the place and others are receiving clothing that doesn’t even match their noted sizes. If they would equal the value across the board this would be a great box.

Hi Everyone,

if any of you has the sweater they don’t want in either color let me know. Love to swap with you!

I’m not sure I fully accept the “bonus” items explanation they gave. You’d think that if they were selecting people at random to “gift” they would make that clear to the chosen subscribers, along with the policy that everyone will supposedly receive something extra eventually. I guess that’s the other issue: what if you don’t want to stay subbed for a year or longer? I’ve been very pleased with box boxes I’ve received but it would be nice to know if this is a real company policy or an off the cuff explanation for padding a box for review purposes. I guess I’m a born skeptic but it seems rather odd that they would have this policy yet never mention it to subscribers. You’d think that they’d use it as a “stay subscribed” incentive….

Good evening everyone, there is a 20% coupon code for the Ouiplease box. It is Ouinormandie. It will work on the annual subscription. Hope this helps everyone save a little money on their luxury box!

I wear 1x, which was not a choice on the preferences, so I didn’t put a size. They sent me a M white sweater, so I sent them a message using their “Contact Us” page, and they sent me a nice email immediately saying that they would replace the item, and emailed a prepaid return label.

So far, the customer service has been GREAT for me, but let’s see what they replace the $200 sweater with. Hopefully, the $175 scarf and perhaps another item. I’d take another tin of those caramels! I’m addicted! YUM!

After getting the girls don’t cry sweatshirt in the last box, and after seeing the Unseven brand of tee shirts (how horrible can it get?), I removed all my sizes, and I got the box Liz had, green scarf instead minus the toothpaste and the hair product. So I only got 10 items, but much happier than the last box.

I just picked up my box… there was a little mixup it got sent to my billing address vs. my shipping address, it’s been sitting there since Thursday! I was excited to see what variation I would receive and I am very happy! I think I would have been happy with most any variation, except for the Unseven tote and buttons. I think the value and variety of products is outstanding. Here’s what I got:

Z&V Blue scarf – love
Charly James earrings – I know a lot of people don’t like these but I do and I like that they are really light weight
Peschardiere Necklace in Blue & Brown – Love this necklace but I would prefer a different color combo, so I am going to see if I can swap for a different color
Riposte Leather Bracelet – Love this too!
le dernier keychain – This is useful and will come in handy or I might swap
Talika eye cream – I am always looking for the perfect eye cream, so I will definitely try this out
Sothys mascara – ditto above, I love trying out new mascara
Nominoe face wash – I thought I might swap this but changed my mind because of the natural ingredients, I’ll try it out.
Hediard carmels – I would usually be excited about this but I have cut refined sugar out of diet but my husband will be happy
Orange Blossom Tea – I’m also not having caffeine, so I will either give this as a gift or swap

I’m really happy overal with my second Oui Please box. I received:
Les Petites White Sweater in size M (I’m a size small, but I like how this size wears on me – and it is SO soft. I am a fan.)
Ozone Knee High black socks (wish I got grey or patterned, but these are still practical and will be used)
Charly James earrings – I don’t have pierced ears, but I do think they’re cool.
Myriam K hair cream
Sothys Mascara
Talika Eye Gel
Nominoe Face Cleanser
Hediard caramels in the tin (LOVE the cute tin and these are yummy!)
Palais Des Thes Lemon Black Tea

I came up with a RV of about $451 for this box. I won’t use everything, but I will use most things and I love the sweater (wearing it now) and I’m honestly pretty thrilled with Oui Please so far.

First off, haha that video is so funny! I also can’t figure out whether the BB creme is a rinse or leave-in treatment, I’ve been leaving it on for a few minutes in the shower and my hair does feel softer. However, I’m not surprised that the company would single out high-profile bloggers to receive fantastic boxes – no one should be surprised!

My box:
1. Les Petites… blue-red sweater (in L, when I added XL to my profile but the loose style fits me just fine and it’s actually very nice!)
2. Ripauste red leather bracelet (kind of a let-down when the Ripauste site shows mostly beautiful pouches and awesome handbags with lights INSIDE the bag)
3. unseven tote and badges
4. Palais des Thés lemon black tea
5. Lebon toothpaste in fresh mint
6. Talika eye gel
7. Sothys mascara
8. Nominoe foaming cleanser
9. Myriam K BB creme (of course And it does smell great!)

The box adds up to over $400 by both OuiPlease’s prices and my research with the conversion from Euros to dollars. I must admit at first I was a bit underwhelmed by my box but I started to like it more once I tried on the sweater and started using the beauty products (since my box seems beauty-heavy.) Was hoping for the charlyjames stuff since I liked their site the best but hopefully I can get some stuff in the boutique, whenever OuiPlease updates their webpage and hands out the discount to annual subscribers :/

My only real gripe after trying out the stuff is that unseven is a company based in Austin, TX (not even Paris, TX!) and the style is questionable. Also I agree that L’Occitane is not hard to get at all and I was hoping that OuiPlease would spotlight brands that are hard to obtain in the US.

My box is the same as Liz’s except I didn’t get the hair cream or toothpaste – those must be the bonus items. I personally love this and can’t wait for my bonus time! The jewelry is definitely much nicer looking in person (and on) than in any photos I’ve seen. The necklace I got is the red/green variation shown in the book and came in a pouch instead of the tin – I really like the blue too! Maybe only the blue came in the tin? The coin bracelet is really cute on – I honestly thought it was blah until it was on my wrist. The earrings are edgy and so light you can barely feel you are wearing them. The caramels are to die for! The scarf is beautiful and so soft. I would have loved to receive the sweater as well – awesome for the few that did!

Sad to hear anyone had a bad experience but this is only their second box and I’m sure they are learning from their mistakes.

Can’t wait for 1.3!!

ugh – So disappointed in this box. I should really stop looking at what other people received – *box envy*
I rec’d:
-White Les Petites Sweater – $200 – In M – when my profile has S (more xs) Giveaway – too big for me
-Rope Bracelet – $25 – ???
-Gold Plated Earrings – $50 – I can’t wear earrings – Giveaway
-Tote Bag & buttons- $20- no idea who the people are – giveaway?
-BB Cream for hair – $40 – will try
-Sotheby’s Mascara – $26 – will try
-Lebon Toothpaste – $10 – in fresh mint, seriously?
-Talika eye gel – $50 – will try
-Hediard Caramel box – $25 – Yeah! something I like
-Lemon Black Tea – $15 – Giveaway
Total $461.00, but will giveaway over 1/2 the items. 1 item I’m excited about – the tin of candy

I am an annual subscriber and will be canceling my subscription. Not only did I list my size as a small and received an XL sweater but their customer service has been terrible. They didn’t even make an attempt to let everyone know boxes would be shipping late and I had to email three times to get a response about tracking then was sent a tracking number to an entirely different state! When I eventually posted on their Facebook (as is effective with Popsugar) they deleted my post, apparently to hide their issues from people browsing their page. I don’t even want to attempt to switch out the sweater size because I know I will be frustrated by their poor customer service. Regardless of bonus items, the fact that Liz got an email response and I was ignored/deleted shows preferential treatment. Really poor business practices. I had such high hopes for this subscription box.

I so waver on getting this box BUT
1) boxes not of equal value
2) very high price if you do a one off $175
3) always finding I would trade at least half the items
4) having brand names in large articles like the scarf is a real turn off for me

You ever keep thinking WOW I want this box (because you love the idea) but when you see it you are glad you didn’t

The next Provence box will undoubtedly have something Lavender in it . Provence has fields and fields of lavender fields. I do love that scent. They also list the brand L’Occitane in relation to that box. Sorry I do not consider that a luxury French brand and there are L’Occitane stores all over America including about 15 of them within 70 miles of where I live. LOL and I’ve probably been in them at least that many times.

Am I the only one wondering how honest Oui Please is being about how they record who gets “bonus items” each parcel, and that Liz’s box was purely a stroke of luck? It seems that subscription bloggers regularly get benefits over the common customer (just a general comment–of course Liz is NOT at fault for that and I commend her for identifying this as a possible issue!!).

It makes sense why a company would send the better boxes to bloggers, but it is misleading to future subscribers and unfair to current subscribers. I also thought that each parcel was supposed to contain a minimum of 11 items, but I suppose that’s a whole different issue.

I was thinking about subscribing, but after seeing this box I think I will wait. Not to insult anyone’s taste, but the necklace looks like something I could have made myself, and the bracelet looks like it is an elastic cord/ribbon with a coin? Again, could have made that myself (granted my coin wouldn’t have been a vintage franc, but still).

Also, the sweater thing is a real problem in my eyes. I would have been one of the ones who didn’t list a size since I am a 1X (and that’s an American 1X which is probably a French 7X!). I would be very upset to receive a high value sweater that I couldn’t possibly wear.

I am on the team that feels that the disparity in values is too large. A few dollars here and there is fine, but not the amount that is happening.

Le sigh….
