My box is STILL sitting in Dallas... only 26 miles away.. and my ETA is Friday. I've used smartpost with other companies, and my stuff has always come a day or two before schedule... guess popsugar is the exception. I was going to use the convo hearts to top some cupcakes for tomorrow. Le suck. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Just received my box today! My first PopSugar box was the infamous September box, so I was very pleased to see that some of the items in the February box were reminiscent of that. Overall, I think this is one of the best boxes I've received! It's sad that a few people have been sized out of some of the best items in the box, but I'm loving the creative alternative uses people are suggesting! Personally I love these items, and I hope PS won't be so inundated with complaints that they avoid items like this in the future. Hopefully in the future PS will give people the option of receiving alternative items if they need to.

I received the white spa wrap (VERY soft, and I don't own a normal robe, so this will be nice to have), green thong and lip stain in Crush (looks very dark on the tube, but is a fantastic versatile berry shade once applied. I have very light skin and was worried this would be too dark, but it's great). And although I'm not a thong person, I'm really excited to try HP, since I've heard great things! It really does seem like it will be comfortable, so they might convert me! haha

I signed my boyfriend up for Birchbox Men and they not only take your size but have you take a little quiz to better match your box to your interests... last month I think they had around 16 variations going out! If they're able to organize those logistics I think PS should be able to figure out S/M/L!!
I wouldn't give birchbox too much credit on that though. They have the option for XL and XXL too, and the first month my friend subscribed (after much convincing) they sent him a size L shirt when he needed xxl. While popsugar needs to ask sizes at this point, birchbox does and ignores it when it's more convenient.

 
I wanted to love this box but the panties don't fit and neither does the wrap I wish they wouldn't send size specific items. What a waste.

I remember getting a Blissmobox last year where it said you got a product from some organic underwear co and I emailed Blissmo asking how could they send out underwear and make sure it is the right size or for men and women??

Their reply was they were seding out coupon codes good for the value of one item and shipping.

Worked out great!

And that's what they did for StyleMint, and those us who were sized out of SM could use it for JewelMint. Since they also included a discount code for HP this time, I'm really annoyed they didn't send a free item code this time. I'm actually going to write to HP once I get my box to suggest they consider this because as it stands, I *could* wear their stuff if I could try a plus-sized pair, but I'm so irritated by the fact that they didn't do this that I'm going to forever remember them as the catty giggling girls in high school picking out band uniforms who *could* have picked our something that fit everyone e but instead picked out something that only came in junior sizes. witches.
 
I received my box yesterday and it is DEFINITELY my favorite Pop Sugar Must Have box to date. I also thought they did a perfect job (for once) of tying in the theme of Valentine's Day. Really glad beacuse I thought last month's box was horrible and I was about to cancel my subscription.

 
Feb 14th, shipped the 8th, and mine is still showing in Sacramento. Grr! Even if I'm not going to be able to use half the box, I'd still like to receive it. I'm not even showing an estimated delivery date yet.

mine has been 20 minutes from my house for two days... dont know why it takes so long for them to deliver or why I cant just go pick it up.. Your worse off then me....but it sucks that neither of us will get our vday box on vday :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
My box is out for delivery today. Having bittersweet feelings about it. At first I thought "Yay it's out for delivery. Perfect timing. At least I'll get a gift today." Then my mind went to "Oh wait, the two most exciting items probably aren't going to fit because I'm too fat. Thanks PS for just perpetuating the body consciousness/ugly feeling I've been having all week."

 
My box came yesterday and here is what I've got:

Spa robe in baby pink

Panties in yellow - not what I'd typically choose for myself, but don't mind it..

Revlon lip stain in Romantic - initially, I thought this was a bit too reddish for my taste, but I tried it on and it is actually just a few shades darker than my lips - I'll wear it.

Dark chocolate MarieBelle pearls - they are yummy!


 
Got mine today! It was nice to get a little surprise since my husband and i decided not to do gifts this year for Valentines Day! Here is what I got:

Hanky Pankys in Yellow Brokedown Wrap in Light Pink Revlon Lip Stain in Honey (really pretty shade!) Dark Chocolate
Overall, I was happy with this box!

 
Has anyone gotten milk chocolate candies? I don't like dark chocolate, but my husband will eat them! I was just curious.

my mail guy is super awesome and always brings all of my boxes and sets them together in a nice pile and if I see him earlier, he gives me my stuff before delivering. The one day he had off, I got another person that totally did what they did to you AND left me 2 notices to go pick up my tiny birchbox and another box at the post office the next day just because he/she didn't want to walk to my door (even though filling out those notices takes longer!!). I'm lucky he's so nice but sad because I'm moving soon

Sorry for the double post, but he really just decided he didn't want to carry out your packages? Good thing that's his job then...
Yea, he actually told other mail carriers there that he really only had room for one and that he would deliver the other the next day...which I just got.  But the whole thing made me laugh more than it made me mad...Because I so wish I had that type of choice in my job, but I can't just not do things because I feel like it!

I used to love love love my mail guy at my other job, he was constantly delivering me shoes from ShoeDazzle, he would deliver at least 3 shoes a week and he never once complained, in fact he would always tease me about it.  So when Christmas came around I gave him a $100 gift card for always being so nice with me about it!  It was a sad day when I told him that he would no longer be delivering my shoes and that I was leaving the company, he actually cried and asked if it would be too awkward to take my number down to keep in touch.  I still talk to him to this day and he still teases me about my shoe addiction!  Not to many mail carriers exist out there still that are this cool!

I'm curious about the fabric of the wrap...from all the photos and videos it looks identical to the cover for my sons changing pad cover....yikes! haha
Oh it is most definitely minky - just like they use for babies.  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I got my box yesterday too!

Wrap in white
Dark chocolates in the pink box
Revlon lip stain in Romantic - beautiful red that's really great today for V-day!
Thong in purple, a really pretty shade
 
I would have been so happy with this box if it hadn't been for the sizing. The spa wrap is a joke on me - I can get the velcro around my 40G chest, but it literally opens up maybe an inch later, so it's basically a cape. I think I'll repurpose it as a head wrap/hair turban like some others have suggested - I have super curly, thick hair and it'll be great for that! The thong, while you could say it fits, is hardly flattering and cuts into my sides/rides way too low in the back. I'm generally very happy with my appearance and shape, but this felt like a mean blow - especially since I would have loved both items had PS actually asked for my size. On top of feeling too big, I can't even use items I adore!  
...well, minus the Nicholas Sparks. I was never gonna love that, though, and literary taste is so subjective that I can't hate too much on PS for that. Will be regifted!
