POPSUGAR Must Have August 2014 *SPOILERS*

[Janice Marie]

I got my first ever box today.  I was so worried I would get gold toned earrings but they are silver.   I love the lipgloss it's very nice.  The shower gel was leaking everywhere in the bag.  I did email them.  I also asked them to replace the shower gel and why they sent two milk based food items as I am allergic to dairy.  Are they good about replacing items that are broken or allergies?  I didn't even know food was an option  here.

Do we think they are actually paying attention to profiles or is it all kind of a random luck?

Not sure, my profile says silver and I got silver.  So happy I can FINALLY wear some popsugar jewelry!  (Gold looks terrible on my skin tone.)

They're really good about replacing broken items, but I'm not sure if they accomodate for allergies. In the past when I got an item I couldn't use, they apologized, thanked me for sharing my opinion, and suggested I pass it along to a friend as a gift. But for items that are damaged in any way they've always sent out replacements, no questions asked.

Popsugar is really good about replacing broken items.  However, they do not accomodate allergies.  They may do something for you just because they are awesome but I don't know of any subscription box that will do anything about allergies.  Waaaaay too much lawsuit potential, probably.

Edited to add: The Think Thin bar is an extra and not counted as part of the box so they likely won't do anything about that even if they do decide to do something about the cookie mix.

Mine says silver and I got the silver earrings too - they're very pretty!  I was terrified I would get gold, gold doesn't match me.

My profile says my ears are pierced, I prefer silver and I prefer bracelets. I got the silver grey earrings which are gorgeous. I'm definitely going to have to swap for some for my mom since the August box was already sold out when the contents were revealed. The candle is a great scent and I have it lit right now to see what the throw is. This is the third great box in a row for me!

Amazing box. The earrings are so classy and simple but beautiful. The body wash isn't strong to me, smells a little like baby shampoo with an organic edge. Cookies, yum. Lunch box so cute, candle smells subtle but great. As far the bite gloss it smells wonderful and is a sheer wash of color. I'm a makeup junkie and this is high quality good stuff. Try it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So, I am baking the cookies now and they are a little strange. First, you add a ton of butter, 1/2 a cup! Then an egg and that's it. I couldn't get the dough to stick together very well so I used my hand to form them into little balls. We'll see how that turns out. I'm not advanced enough in baking to know what to add to make it better! :lol:

I also tried out the lip gloss and it was basically clear on me. I don't usually wear many lip products so it's no big deal to me. I don't like the smell or the taste though. Ick!

I totally want to know how they turn out!

 

[AshJs3]

Cookies are done! They are OK. Not great, but OK. I made 18 instead of 24, so I left them in the oven a little longer. The good news is, I don't want to eat the whole pan! :lol: They also aren't going to sit in my cabinet for months like so many other subscription box food, so WIN WIN!

my box hasn't moved since the 8th.  In fact, Fed Ex just has it down as they received the info, but it hasn't been picked up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my box today, and I'm really happy with it!

The only thing I won't use is the nasty thinkthin bar - I've had this one before, and it is disgusting. But, everything else is great!

Hi everyone, this is a somewhat unrelated question but do you know what happens if you get a referral when your account is closed/cancelled? Do you have to have an active account to be credited for the referral?

Based on ~20 years of cookie baking, that's a pretty typical amount of butter for a batch of cookies that size.

My kids LOVED the cookie dough. Me, not so much. I found all the Jimmies and extra candies in it was overkill. My kids scarfed the cookies down within minutes of it coming out of the oven so no pics. One thing is for sure, I won't be buying this dough mix since I like ricotta cookies better.

 

[AshJs3]

Ok, my dough did not look like that! It was all crumbly and separated. Did you add anything else?

 

[zadidoll]

Nope just the 1 egg and 1 stick of butter, oh wait... and 1 tsp of vanilla.
