I don't want this post to come off as too negative but, I don't want you to think everything is rosey either when it's been a little bit of a run-around. They do not want paying customers to wait for products and I appreciate that but, it is almost the end of the month and we are all curious when it will renew. I also need to finish storytime - Storybook did announce on November 30 that they would not be renewing for Volume 2 on December 1 and are aiming for the new year. Then, on September 24 they announced that the palettes were done and showed the picture of the palette, saying that they were making sure the next couple of months were ready to go! Then there was radio silence until October 22 when they announced that Month #1 would ship by November 15, then after that each month would renew on the 1st of the month and ship by the 15th of the month. On August 28 they announced that they almost made the August shipping but, were pushing it back to September to avoid any future delays. Almost the whole month of August went by with no updates. So, back to the Book Club Subscription Box - I should have expected delays but, I guess I didn't expect the total lack of communication that came with the delays.

But, one of the things I find slightly frustrating is that they have released a ton of concepts saying 'coming soon' and the delay is insane! For example releasing a peek of the Dragon Fire palette and Dragon Lipsticks in August/September 2017 saying coming soon, the Starry Night palette was sneaked in October 2017 saying coming in 2018, and what I was most excited about was the Hunger Games collab was shown in November 2017 again saying coming soon.
