so  no variations it looks like.

 
I think I will be saying "so long" to PS...at least for a while. I am really turned off by the Dial soap. I hate their body wash. I tried it a couple times (b/c I was attracted to some of their scents) but the soap is SO drying. I know this is a new line, but I am not interested.

I don't mind black licorice but umm... I'm dieting, dammit!

The G&G jewelry roll...ugh. I just bought a G&G travel jewelry case when they were having that 80% sale.

I might like this box better in person but getting the Dial soap is enough to make me to cancel.

Sorry PS, I didn't want to quit you but....

 
I was really hoping for something more valentines day ish. It would have been better to leave the dial out of the box, IMO.

 
Sugarwish charges $25 for you to get a pound of candy-- every one of which, you can buy at CVS for WAY less. How is that a business? Let me give you a $25 CVS gift card and you can go buy yourself like 20 pounds of skittles, if that floats your boat. 'Convenience/Cute' gift services baffle me when they are seriously someone selling tootsie rolls out of a store front for like a million percent upmark.

The box seems, eh. Dial? I mean, we couldn't even extend to like Bath and Body Works? And sadly I do not like cinnamon candy--but if it gets here before V day my co-workers get an extra treat (I'm making chocolate covered strawberries).

 
meh. this was my first box, glad i got it with the discount.  nothing i'm excited about, i already have a jewelry roll (although i do like this one) and i'm not particularly excited to try any of the other things.  i wanted to try popsugar bc it seems to offer things i wouldn't get in my other subs (glossybox and birchbox), so more lip gloss and nail polish i'll try but i'm not super excited about, and then there's the dial body wash...

 
a big green bottle of dial seems weird, The rest of the box seems ok- I think the whole thing would at least look better if the bottle was red- even if it was old spice lol

Girl who posted the pic on instagram just listed the contents (@havison16): Gorjana Brooks jewelry roll, Nourish Organic pure hydrating Argan face serum, K Hall peony travel candle, Modelco lip pops duo lip gloss and lipstick, Sugarwish mini red cinnamon hearts, NCLA rodeo drive royalty nail polish and Dial vitamin boost body washamin boost body wash


So the gift card looking thing was what... A tag? Darnit :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm so sad that there was no jewelry. I saw somewhere that a past box had a pretty little delicate necklace that said "love" and I thought that would be sooo perfect for February! Ahh well. I'd still rate this one a 7/10 I think, which really isn't bad!
 
Wow, how funny! I wonder if it's because you grew up eating it? I know that explains why I love my traditional Irish food and my boyfriend can't stand it, haha.
I never ate black licorice, and I tried it recently and I like it. My fiance, however, Loves it. Not sure how I feel about the other items yet. :/

I don't mind drugstore products, if it's something new. I don't really ever go down those types of aisles so it's kinda nice to be able to try something new. That being said, I'm not a big Dial fan, but maybe Dial gave them to PopSugar to include for free? It's a $3 item so it's not like it adds or takes much away from the value.
My understanding with subscription boxes is that everything they send has been provided to them complimentary. Companies use it as a way to market their product. Considering how we're all talking about it, blogging about it, and it's getting posted EVERYWHERE on social media, it's a win-win situation for them. Since the Dial is a new product, it makes sense that they're trying to get it in as many hands as possible.

On the bright side, you could always try trading! Since the box was so cheap it wasn't a major loss, and maybe someone else would want the items you got and you could trade for something from a past box that you've had your eye on?? :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'd still rate this one a 7/10 I think, which really isn't bad! That Love necklace had $125 value and was part of the $250 Neiman's box. There are still some up for trade and on ebay from what I have seen.

true!  i may try this.  i haven't really gotten good at the whole trading thing but i'll see what i can do!

 
I get that Dial is trying to promote their products but it would've been better in a less "exclusive" box IMO. This is just making people think of Dial as a "cheap" brand compared to products Popsugar has had in the past! So not a great promo!

 
I know this box isn't very Valentiney, but I do like it so far. I'm happy I got it with the discount, but I'll probably stay around for next month. The only thing I don't like is the Dial soap, but that's because I have super dried out skin, so I make myself only use Vitabath or bar soap.
