Luxe Box Upgrade?

Luxe box just released their first optional upgrade for Winter 2013.  For an extra $12 (on top of the $26 you already pay) you can upgrade to the Zoomer Box.  But  I think I will take a pass.

Although it contains 9 items rather than the usual 7-8, and 5 of them are full sized (wow!) I think I am going to have to take a pass on this one.  I don't really find anything all too appealing, and the only item I would get any use out of would probably be the mascara.  However I have so many mascara samples that I probably will never run out.  This box appears to be a bit on the "mature" end for me, and I don't see too many things my mom would actually use.  I have a small drawer full of anti-aging samples in foil packets that I never seem to be able to get rid of, suffice to say full sized products would get even less use.

Last season they had a few different upgrades, including the LouLou Box (which I selected).  Coupled that this was described as their "very first Winter 2013 Edition" I would assume that there will be other upgrades to come.  And if not, there's always the standard box which I hear is just lovely.
