For folks who like those Turkish towels and have a Home Goods/TJ Maxx/Marshalls nearby, I found several at my local HomeGoods recently. One of them was the lighter woven fabric and was huge (large beach towel sized) and so pretty that I turned it into a throw. The cost? $14.99. 

Of course, now my local store will run out after all the local MUT ladies buy 'em out...

Yes, I bought two at my local Home Goods/Tj Maxx after missing the POP Sugar Summer box. They are huge and really absorbent but thin enough to fit in my bike basket without over crowding it.  I use them as towels, but they work as really cute bikini covers too, wrapped like a sarong.

 
The lipgloss isn't plumping? Oy, the hits just keep coming. Between that and the fake Mason jar, I'm beginning to like this box a lot less.

 
It's funny how we all want different things.  That the lipgloss isn't plumping and that the cookie mix isn't in a mason jar actually makes me happier.  I love pretty much all things Bite, and already have the cinnamon lip plumper.  And I was trying to figure out what I'd do with a mason jar other than recycle it.  Due to several unfortunate incidents, we avoid glass storage items.  @Padawan, I hope you enjoy the box anyay!

 
I really like this box!

I've been wanting a bento-type box for a while, something good for packing snacks for work in. Everything looks good, and I don't wear earrings often/at all (I have almost nonexistent earlobes) but I love the idea of turning them into necklaces (one for me, one for a friend!)

Now, to wait the 10-14 days it usually takes for my box to get to me. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I believe it was this kind, in a pink shade. Definitely had a fruity scent. The fake Mason jar is very cute, though certainly not as impressive as a real jar would have been.

I'm with you on the plumping thing -- I was happy to find out that it was a regular gloss. Plus I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, which is the scent of the plumping gloss.

 
 I'm not going to purchase the FALL LE BOX...

And I think I'm going to cancel my Nina Garcia Quarterly due to the price and all in HOPES that PS does a Neiman & Marcus box again!

I haven't even gotten a Quarterly box from Nina Garcia, but just thinking about it $107.50?? Idk if I could just do that.

Big decisions, but hopefully they have a N&M box or hopefully another collab company box this year.

 
That slate color looks kind of boring on the website, I'm hoping it pops a bit more in person. I'm relieved that we aren't getting purple, but I would have loved the turquoise earrings.

I am a HUGE fan of Mason jars, so therein lies my disappointment. I am also a huge klutz, but every Mason jar I have dropped never shattered. Go figure. Maybe that's why I like them so much, they make me feel less klutzy.

Also, I don't care for the earrings, they look much too big for my sensitive lobes. But I was OK with the big ticket item being a miss since there was a Mason jar and a lip plumper that I have been wanting to try for awhile. Now those two things aren't happening, so I am a little down about it. I am sure I will love the other items once I get them. But the balance for the earrings bust isn't as balanced as it used to be. Oh well.

I already own a pair of the earrings, and they're surprisingly light. I can definitely wear them all day without my ears hurting.

It's a pale color and actually a bit translucent, but I think it's a nice neutral.

 
Just got the box. ... unfortunately the body wash gives me an immediate headache. Loooove the earrings! The lip gloss I liked when I saw it. .. i hate it on though. It's sticky and tastes funny. I wish I hadn't opened it. Can't wait to make the cookies and the candle is great! But I really hate the lipgloss. ....

Hmmmm ... maybe these might work, then. I'll try to take back my flash judgement, lol. Maybe there is hope yet! Thanks for the tip!

 
Weird, mine usually ship from New York.  I'm in Delaware.  Mine shipped from CA this time.  I did not get the towel, so maybe that's why the shipping is different.

 
I'm SO happy about this box! I think I'm going to love everything. I'm really excited that the bite gloss is colored and not the cinnamon one because I hate cinnamon.

And the timing couldn't be more perfect! Mine was delivered and waiting for me at home just in time for my birthday tomorrow! Happy birthday to me! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i'm happy to get this box as it will make gifts for family, so i'm really glad i didn't get 2 (my original plan was to get 2 since i really wanted another turkish towel).  my ears aren't pierced and i'm not very crafty, so gift.  i got the goodbyn hero container (x2) from citrus lane (i use them since my daughter is still too young), they do snap really well and the dipper containers are great, too bad this one won't stack on my others for storage.  i hope it is the goodbyn containers though, so great :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

good thing i am excited about getting to try lollia and bite, and i love candles so much.

the cookie mix, i'm not sure if i'll use it.

i've loved most of the popsugar boxes these past few months, so excited!

 
oh man, so how did people get that lip gloss so wrong?  I love a good cinnamon flavored lip plumping gloss and now it is some sheer pink gloss?
