PopSugar Must Have Luxury Edition Box

I'm not trying to be argumentative here, I promise, but that's not what I was able to find on their website (or maybe I am just not searching correctly). I see 2 different choices of mini chocolate libraries, both containing a wider variety of flavors than the 3x3 bar set I received. Regardless, I still am OK with my set and look forward to trying the 3 flavors and giving the rest as stocking stuffers. My local Whole Foods carries Vosges, so if I am inclined to try more flavors, I'll pick them up from there.

I got the:

~Epicurean in Lemongrass

~Tocca Candle in Red Currant

~Hand Soap in Olive & Lavender

~Lip & Nail Duo in LET'S DO IT pomegranate red lipstick (sheer) & MY OLD FLAME

~Chocolate Library Three of each

I would have preferred a cuter bag or the multi-chocolate library, but it just didn't work like that. i really like my candle scent and lip / nail duo, so I am happy. 
I LOVE YOUR BOXXX i hope i get all the same colors/scents you got...........come onnn post man!!!!!!!!

Exactly!  No one here has any ill will toward the mommas and your needs.  All we're saying if wanted items to go with a diaper bag (as you brought up first) there are subs that probably are better suited for that than a luxury box.

That being said if I signed up for this box and there were items that were "perfect to hang or include on your diaper bag" I would've been like huh?  The items in the box are exactly what I would expect in a luxury type box (over the top lotion, soap, candle, jewelry, fancy chocolate)  it's suppose to be an indulgence not practical and necessary for your everyday needs.  

Are we all good now?  

Thanks for backing me up, I feel like we might've started an argument we didn't mean to! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Now let's get back to enjoying our boxes (mine is supposed to arrive today!!!!)

I dunno.  I searched by library.  Good to know Whole Foods has them, if I like them I might pick up more there too!  Good tip.

Good luck tracking them down if you end up liking them, the flavors I've tried have all been pretty good. The Whole Foods near me has a good variety of the full-size bars and a couple variations of the mini-sized ones.

No prob.  I didn't the feeling there was an argument, it's a post, can't really determine tone.  But if she was upset, that wasn't my intention either and we have no idea what her sub history is.  I can't blame her for wanting a little "me" box, being a mom means giving up a lot.  I just hope she's happy with everything else.   

I'm just confused by people buying something called a luxury box and then expecting practical items.  In my mind, luxury and practical don't equate.  Luxury to me equates to over the top, expensive and probably good for one or only a few time use.  If not to ones liking there is always trade or eBay. I've put at least one item from every must have box up on eBay.  And gifted more than I can count.  The way I look at it money is already spent either I spend it on a gift or I give an items from the box which I already spent money on.  

Mine won't arrive until Monday, but I still can NOT wait.  I am most excited and looking fwd to seeing what clutch I got and what scent candle

My box came today, and I'm actually somewhat happy with it. I received a color of one item I'm not sure has been posted yet.

I received:
the soap in lavender olive (up for swap for other scents)
the clutch in the jeweled options (want to swap for envelope one)
the lotion in lemongrass (want to swap)
the bracelet (uncomfortable, for sale)
the nail/lip duo in I'm Every woman/Naked Polish)
The chocolate in the three flavors

Also, the

Amalfi Bar with pink peppercorns, lemon, and white chocolate is insanely delicious. the combination sounded frightening at first, but the pepper and the lemon go perfectly with the richness of the white chocolate.

Yes, that's exactly what I think about luxury items and I also tend to gift something or things from every box or sometimes sell them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . I actually just got a call from my dad and my box is at home!!!! I'll post what I got later but I'm actually kind of scared to open it!!!

 

[Freezymama]

I'm about to eat ALL my words! I love love love this box!!! So happy I got the clutch I wanted! I guess u have to feel it and see it to appreciate the "luxury"! I prob will buy again and again

Hi ladies! First post /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Sure hope it's okay to post this here. Just wondered if anyone would like to take my box off my hands. It's basically unopened - one of the strings on the box tie is loose because I took a peek inside to see the Lippman set. I've accumulated too many things since I ordered this and would just feel too gluttonous (not to mention I don't really need anything inside). Just send me a note and we can discuss!

 

[mskats]

I also got my box today. Here's what in my box

kukui coconut after bath moisturizer
tocca candle - grapefruit and cucumber deborah lippman - drops of brandy lipstick and glamorous life nail lacquer
the silver vintage looking clutch
and everything else was the same. 

 

[Eleda]

Fingers crossed for a

nude nailpolish
!

Um I am SHOCKED!!! I subbed to PS recently and got my first box this month (yesterday!) and splurged on this box too. I was really nervous about spending $135 on mystery items, and I had sort of average expectations from the boxes...

I'm really picky about most things, but somehow each item in this box was the RIGHT variation!

One of my favorite things is the fragrance of  orange , and I love Tocca, so that candle was basically made for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Of all the clutches, I would have picked the one I got (mailbox style). I was kind of irked there isn't a chain, though... If there are loops for a chain, shouldn't there be one included? Are people putting on their own chains??

The DL set made me nervous... but I LOVE the colorS! They are exactly what I would have picked for myself (Glamorous Life).

I have been wanting a gold or brass toned bangle... how did they know?? I love Chocolate (wish I had gotten a variety with more flavors, but oh well), I love hand soap, I love lotion... love all of these!!

I am glad there were not coupon codes; I always find those annoying because I feel their value is wasted on me. I already spent money on the box, I don't want to go buy more things... but that's just me. I know some people love them.

Sorry for no spoilers,I'm on an iPad I just got my box. I've had my friend Jennifer reading this thread so I wouldn't peek! Overall the box is pretty ok I got the brass envelope clutch,so not my taste at all! I really liked the others. I would love to trade! And the cuff is brass,not my style either. Are they all cuffs? I got the grapefruit candle YUM, Orange blossom lotion,YUM DL duet in midnight confessions, witches brew (love it!)& under a spell

Got my box today!  Loving it, with a few exceptions.

LOVE the soap, candle, and Puttin' On The Ritz Deborah Lippmann lipstick and nail polish.  I'm really glad I got this color polish, which is kind of nude, rather than a dark red.  I was excited about the cuff, but it looks weird on me, so I'll see what I can do to rock it.  At first I was like "what the heck" about the little flask purse, but when I opened it up and saw how it worked, I was fascinated!  Love it!  Even my husband keeps opening it and closing it back up 'cause it's fun.  The chocolates are the only thing I have a real issue with.  I'm munching on a peppermint one right now, which is great, but THREE of the bars in the box contain hemp seeds.  I'm in the military and I'm not allowed to consume anything with hemp seeds in them; it could mean "popping hot" on a urinalysis for drugs and ruin my career.  I'm a little annoyed by that!  Oh well, I'll chow down on the rest of the chocolates and enjoy everything else!

Oh no! The hemp seed one was my absolute favorite! I doubt if you spread them out they would show up, but you can never be too carefulI guess. I'm sure your friends and family will be willing to take them off your hands though! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Please keep all swap talk to the b/s/t area.

If anyone doesn't want their chocolate set, I'd love to swap/buy it.
