POPSUGAR Must Have February 2013 Box

[BeautifyMyLife]

I'm not touching the size issue with a 10 foot pole, but what amazes me is that it seems like people (often the same people every month) are very unhappy with their boxes, but continue to subscribe because they're worried that next month's box will be amazing. If this box doesn't work for you, and you're not content with trading/giving away what doesn't work for you, then it's time to stop giving PS your money!

I agree with this.  I am 'only' a 12 on bottom but  it actually feels slightly big.  This thing has a LOT of stretch.

I just want my box. The more I look at  spoilers, the more excited I get. I'm not even really mad that it didn't come in time for Valentine's Day. I didn't think we were doing anything for V-Day because my boyfriend is in another state for work and that's what we agreed upon, but he sent me roses anyway, making my VDay great.

Yeah I had some problems last month with a damaged product. This month has turned it around for me. I love ps. Every time I see people complain about size I think about how much money there is to be made doing a sub for plus sized women, who often have to comb the universe for cute stuff. Even though i know that isnt the whole point...

I'm in the category of one size fits all but I completely understand why some women are upset with this months box.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and we're all women here.  We should support one another!  At one time or another, we've all been there were we've sent a rant email off of our emotions.  Mine was back in July (first box)  when I bought they we're telling us that the bag would be $150 retail + and right after shipping they changed the amount to $100+- this was a complete bait and switch & I wasnt happy. 

I know this board is suppose to be fun- we shouldn't be bashing one another- thats what facebook is for... LOL!

I got my box yesterday, and I really loved everything in there. I'll even give the book a chance! LOL

I got the white wrap, which is lovely. I love how soft it is! I am 5'6", 135lbs,but I am pretty small on top, and large on the bottom. It fit short, but cute. My husband thought it was sexy lol. It'll be a great replacement for the robe I wear now in the summer. 

 
I got the orange Hanky Pankys. VERY cute. I am all about bright colors, so these were great. They're very comfy.
 
I got the Crush lip stain, and I liked that color very much, as well. A nice warm plummy red. 
Overall, very happy with this box.

That's a really great idea, I'm sure people would jump to sign up! And then they can expand and do a petite version, I know I'd pay money for that. =)

This is certainly more than a few girls reaction.  Every other post on here is blasts Popsugar for sending them something THEY ASKED FOR by signing up.  Everyone did realize that this box MAY contain items that would not suit you, right?  Everyone did realize that sometimes this box is a miss and sometimes it's a hit, right?  Sheesh they could send out a box of money and people would still complain.   "WHAT???? They sent only $1 bills....OMG WHAAAAA that's too smallllllll!!!!!! Chill it's a joke! I'm not emotional at all, my undies and wrap fit fine.  No bunched up panties or crying over fabric here.  I wore them both today and I love them.  And I'm encouraging everyone who loved their box to write PopSugar and tell them.  But we all know that's not happening.   The fact that some gals ain't to happy with their size is not PopSugar's issue. 

If the item worked for you that's really great, I hear amazing things about hanky panky so you're lucky they suit you. However, though I did sign up knowing I may not like certain thing, I was under the impression everything sent out would still be usable by everyone who subscribed. Unfortunately this month that's not the case. It's one thing if everyone was complaining they just didn't like it, but it's another if its because they want to use it but simply cannot. And I find your last comment to be really offensive. I'm perfectly happy with my size, and I'm sure many others are too (big and small girls both) but the panties happened to be two sizes too big for me and the wrap unable to cover necessary areas.

Did you miss the part where THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT SEND SIZE-SPECIFIC ITEMS? Plus-size vs. one-size-fits-up-to-size-14 *is* size-specific. This is bordering in false advertising. Signing up for a box where you know they might send, say, meat-based products is one thing. Being assured it's all vegan and then being sent milk chocolate-coated bacon after I've paid for a vegan box is something else, and that's what I'm upset about. ETA: Also, the comment about some of us not being happy about our size? Exactly the catty, giggling, witchy behavior I was talking about.

I actually was thinking of writing them just to say how much I loved this box! I think it's a great idea! =)

Nope didn't see that anywhere, where is that?

I am glad everyone got their box. I am a little frustrated however with my postal service. eta was for today. then my fedex tracking said it went out for delivery yesterday. then this morning it said that it was at the post office but would take 1-3 days to get to me. (office is two mins from my house) so I called them and asked them if I could come pick it up. She said my package wasnt there and that if the driver felt it was too heavy they wouldnt deliver it and Id have to come by Monday or Tuesday to collect it. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> EDIT: she wasnt going to deliver it. I waited until she got to our neighbor and she handed it to me. the wrap looks like a skirt haha it fits around me but is way too short. I am 5'7"... and I already own the lip stain. will be gifting them, oh well /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Jesuspeesus I wasn't attacking anyone.  There are more than a few comments on this thread saying "I'm not happy with my size but....."  

Anyway, I'm done, girls.  Check ya next month.  God I hope they send scarves...again.

Right in their FAQ. I posted it directly earlier in this thread.

Just as you are able to have your opinion, so is everyone else. Popsugar SHOULD get feedback from things like this. Why are you getting so emotional over a few girls reactions to a box of STUFF!!!!! STUFF!!!!!!???? NO one has died because other people were upset on a forum! See how that works? Feel the way you feel, and let others be.

The fact that some gals ain't to happy with their size is not PopSugar's issue. 

It's not a matter of not being happy with your size...it's a matter of being sent things that don't fit when the FAQ specifically states that size information is not needed and if they DO send something size specific out, they will ask for the info. You obviously have missed the point.

I'm glad you're happy with your box. There is no need to be condescending and rude to those who aren't. You might not have your panties bunched over some fabric, but you DO seem to have your hateful panties bunched up over something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU on an internet forum. I don't see how that's better.

 

[PinkShanyn]

Anne - are you serious right now?  

In the FAQ they (POPSUGAR) SPECIFICALLY STATE that sizes are not required at this time.   

Please educate YOURSELF before you decide to 'try' to 'educate' others. 

LASTLY -- you last comment in your above rant.... OFFENSIVE.  I am a size 20... and i look damn good.  For you to imply that because i'm a big girl I can't be happy with myself or my body just shows me that you're not happy with your own size and ASSUME that others couldn't be either.  

I'm fat... and i'm pretty...and i'm awesome!

Well said.

I am 46 years old and I am pretty sure that I am not the targeted demographics for this box - just check www.popsugar.com.   I do however, have a teen daughter, so between the 2 of us, this box is FUN to get. When we are no longer looking forward to it, I will take my $35 to a business that suits me better. 

It is really like playing the lottery.  We gamble $35 on the unknown,  hoping to score big - a $80 scarf, a new favorite luxury item -  getting more out of the box that what we paid for. Last Sept they sent  Benefit Makeup - the concealer was too dark for my skin, I do not use bronzer... but it probably suited most - it was still a very nice item. It was not personal, this is just a business decision - what will attract the most returning customers.

Just got my box! The earliest ever, too! I'm happy with this box. The wrap is a lot shorter than I thought even after reading a few post with others sizes. I got the pink one, which i love. I got the yellow pankys, I was hoping for the blue but I'm happy either way. I got the honey lip stain balm which is adorable. I'm happy!

I"M SOOO offended you called me hateful!  That's bullying and I'm reporting it.
