POPSUGAR Must Have February 2014 (SPOILERS!)

[ashleygo]

I'm hopeful this is an amazing box, now I just have to be strong enough if it is a good box not to snitch the gift box I got for my sister. GO WILLPOWER!

 

[MsBLittleton]

So excited .. mine is initiated with FedEx too! I check this morning after I saw some ppls have and no luck ... but checked again just now and HOORAY!! I am also realyl excited for some reason, I mean it is always exciting but if it is ho hum I might cancel after this month.

Like many others, if this box doesn't Wow me, I'm unsubscribing. I got my first Lip Factory box this month (for half the price of PSMH) and loved it way more!

Sadly, I am not yet processing :icon_cry: But I'll keep trying all day every day until my tracking by reference number does something!

Love, love, love the Nina Garcia Quarterly box!

Me too! I was so glad someone was willing to trade their Nina box for my ps holiday one! Can't wait for the next Nina box!!! =D

I keep hearing great things about Lip Factory. I just dropped all of my subs except Ipsy (and this PS box because the code sucked me back in) and am contemplating signing up! I do like having one or two lifestyle items to even out all of the makeup Ipsy sends me, though.

I got lip factory for a few months too and it was amazing I loved everything and I use all the stuff I got from them . I cancelled in Dec due to the fact that I just had to much. They also were very nice and easy to reach on the phone. Something I dislike about popsugar is them not having a phone number

I also started subscribing in Sept! I started w/ Birchbox and Ipsy. I ended up cancelling Ipsy b/c they were too similar to Birchbox and I felt I needed to choose one, and for me Birchbox was more of a home-run each month. I have heard a lot of good arguments for both, I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

I started Popsugar in December and signed up for 3 months. This was before any of those 3 for 2 coupons came out around the holidays and trust me, I was sour about that!!! Oh well. I ended up just cancelling Popsugar a few days ago but if February impresses me I might just go ahead and sign back up.

I was told before about Fabfitfun and somehow forgot about it, and now someone else has recommended it to me so I might try that one next. It's only quarterly so I feel less guilty spending the money on it... But I did see that pink rubber bracelet on a review site and thought ew! But I loved the grey scarf with pink birdies on it so maybe it balances out.

I've also tried Conscious Box-- I just got the free welcome box so it's hard to say if I'd enjoy it monthly, but I didn't think it seemed worth the cost so I cancelled after that first box. My friend gets Nature Box and I just don't think that one is for me, either.

I just joined Julep last month and got my first boxes recently (welcome box and monthly box). I really like it, but don't know if I'll stick around since as a newbie I don't have the skip option /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I don't think I'm going to love it enough for $20 every single month.

I signed up for Cypress & 5th, but haven't purchased a box yet. It's on the expensive side for sure, and I haven't been totally in love with my "closet" enough to buy yet.

Lastly, I signed up for Dottiebox last month and got my first box last week. It's really cute, I just did the mini subscription, and I got a really nice candle, lip balm, and simple earrings. I like that it's all homemade items! I'd say the price point is pretty reasonable... It's $10/month + $3 shipping for the mini.

I'm *this close* to giving Wantable accessories a try but I keep changing my mind. All these boxes sure add up and I feel like I'm spending a fortune!

I had never heard Sparaj but after reading your post I went to the site. It looks like they are sold out through March right now but I'm going to keep my eye on that one!!

A couple others I've been wanting to try:

Seasons Box

Yuzen

Hello Makana

A Kitchen Box

Homegrown Collective Greenbox

Has anyone tried any of those? I'd love some feedback!
Stay FAR away from Seasons box. They have changed ownership so many times the last year I've lost track. And no one has received a January box at this point. Their customer service is basically non existent. Weeks go by with no response. And I've heard that a bunch of people who cancelled were charged for renewals anyway.

Love my fit bit I would be intersted

I saw this too and I am confused because in the same message however there was the PINK10 code and LOVE10 code within the same email. Which one is it?

 

[Lesliek0211]

I understand what you mean about the lifestyle items. I guess though, that I haven't loved the lifestyle items enough to justify keeping them, and I consider them non-necessity when I have to have my make-up. March would be a great time to sign up for Lip Factory, because that's their ALL LIPS month!

I don't know if it's standard, but they sent me an extra item in my first box, which was model co. lipstick that is fabulous and retails for $19. My box total was $88!

I just signed up for PS and i'm so excited. I always look at unboxings of them on YouTube and I REALLY loved that gold chain. I wish I would have known about PS last year, especially since baublebar doesn't have that chain for sale anymore!

 

[DevinMcWhite]

I Wonder why there's no PS men's box for Vday? It makes sense, I'm sure they could make a great love/romance themed box for guys. OOOOH or better yet, a couples box with date night stuff and things to share, like body scrubs or man/woman scents that smell good together.

Ok ladies. Love you! Here is the fitbit MUT musthavepopsugar fan group.... http://www.fitbit.com/group/224C7J Hopefully I set it up correctly! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[wisconsin gal]

does this mean if I hate my february box, I'll have to walk off my frustration instead of cancelling!? Kidding.

I like the sound of 3 lbs! January's book was pretty heavy so unless there is another book this month, there's gotta be something else in that box making it heavy. I'm so giddy for this box this month I PRAY it's awesome!!! I haven't gotten any kind of shipping/tracking info yet :/ It still says "processing" on my account page.

I sure hope you like your first box! I also just recently learned about PS (this will be my 3rd month) and feel like I've missed out on so many great products in the past boxes.
