POPSUGAR Must Have July 2013

[tnorth1852]

Are there any coupon codes out there? I can't get any coupon code to work at all. I tried refer5, get10, get25, take10, take 25. My subscription expires after this monch, and I really want to see the August box.

I was able to use refer5 to gift myself the August box. I used the same code to gift July's box.

Here's my Instagram swatch of the

NCLA nail polish in As If! Sorry, it's not very true to color because of the filters /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The formula is very goopy and streaky, but nothing a good top coat can't fix. I like that these polishes are big 5-free.

cue complaints about the anniversary necklace in 5.... 4.... 3.... 2......

Lolllll I feel like there will never be anything that everyone likes so I just try to wait and decide whether I like it myself when I actually get the box. I've actually sort of avoided coming on here because reading complaints makes me almost question what I liked in the first place. As for the August necklace, it's completely my style so I'm one of the happy ones /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Looking forward to August.  The necklace looks nice!

I got my box today & I think it's awesome!! I shared the cookies with friends & we all loved them- those are seriously dangerous!! I'll definitely use all the products- I'm super excited about the SuperGoop /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't think I'm signed up to receive popsugar e-mails, I only ever get the ones about my box shipping...is there something else you have to sign up for to get these emails?

Refer5 still works. Try canceling your current subscription and resubbing using the code and see if that works.

Love the Gorjana necklace /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love Gorjana jewelry its always so dainty yet very delicate and feminine.

In case they do send silver I would trade in an instance with someone who gets gold.

I do not look good in silver jewelry. 

My box is being slow :/

Got my shipping notice yesterday. It hit Chicago yesterday, but hasn't updated to New Berlin yet. My guess is I'll get it Thursday (New Berlin tomorrow) back to Chicago the next day.

Weird to gift someone something in a box they pay for. I see gift more like extra item. I wonder how Pop Sugar meant it.

I took it to mean the same as you.

July is the anniversary month, the first box was July 2012. Hummm .... maybe they forgot?

I love this box! including the tow chain.

I love the anniversary necklace! It's really simple and delicate, which is just what I like in my jewelry. Of course I'm wondering the same thing as everyone else--did it have to be gold? Again? I don't mind I suppose, but it's kind of crazy at this point how much gold there has been with literally no silver options.

I do think "Our Gift to You" implied that it was an additional gift, especially considering that they already include pieces of that value sometimes. I'm not sure what makes this an "anniversary" item otherwise. I had no expectations of an anniversary box, but I thought that if they did one they might just include a cupcake bath bomb or something. Not that I'm complaining! This necklace makes next month's box totally worth it already to me!

I just got my box today and I'm sooo disappointed. This was my birthday gift to myself and it's my LEAST favorite box out of all the ones I've received, including the disappointed December Luxury Box. I was hoping this box would be the high point of my craptacular week, but it just kind of added to it.

The necklace is ugly! Plus it's super heavy which isn't something I would want to wear in the summer anyway. Especially not with my fibro.

The cookies are good, but not a "must have."

Supergoop. Really? I don't need overpriced sunscreen that's been around for a while.

The nail polish was something I thought I would be excited for, but the color is weird. Purple is my favorite color but this shade looks...sickly.

The only thing that I'm ok with is the iced tea and ice cube tray. My friend and I were eyeing the ice cube tray at TJ Maxx a while ago. But it can be found at TJ Maxx so still nothing "must have" about it.

For as many of you who are hating this necklace, you'd think it wouldn't be so hard for me to score one. I want it!!!  I don't care if y'all think I'm Mr. T or LL Cool J, those guys are badass! 

 

[meaganola]

Grr, I forgot about another one of my necklace issues: I actually have one that I have worn 24/7 for, oh, fifteen years or so:

That is a traditional Maori fishhook, gang. It does not come off. Ever. It looks weird with shorter necklaces, although it works just fine with longer dangly necklaces because short + long = groovy hippy layered. Short + short = unplanned mess.

 

[penny13]

This was my first monthly box from them and man, after seeing the June box, I am so sad! The necklace is just way to heavy for me, the cookies were good but a small size...here's hoping the SPF is nice! Now, to try and figure out a way to get rid of that chain....

Inside the PopSugar July planning meeting:

    "Okay guys, we need to come up with some stuff for July here…let's just start some free-association brainstorming and see what happens!"
"Okay, July is hot…want to cool down. Ice cubes? Ice cube tray?"
"Yeah! That's great! Ice cubes…go with…iced tea?"
"Sure, sure, that's good…"
"Hmm…Ice Cube, Ice T…Mr. T? Hey, didn't we get a necklace from Bauble Bar a little while back? That one that we all laughed at and said could have come from Mr. T's closet?"
"Yeah, let's see how many people we can convince that it's not ugly, but actually really trendy!"
"Okay, so Mr. T makes me think of Dr. T's Supergoop. Doesn't Supergoop make sunscreen? That's summery, right?"
"All right, so….July…4th of July…barbecues…hot dogs….chips….cookies? Cookie chips! Awesome! I think we have our box!"
"Hey, this is great stuff, but we only have 5 items. We need to step this up a bit or those ladies on Makeuptalk are gonna be pissed!"
"Eh,  just throw some of last year's nail polish in and call it good."

I can't help but wonder if they are just pretending that never happened??  They called it the Must Have bag back then and didn't have the Must Have categories they have now.
