Got my box, and it is amazing, the snacks are meh for me which is weird because usually Popsugar snacks are awesome (aka Pipcorn and Crispy Cakes). Wondering if there is even gonna be a lot of people trading this month.

oh my god, I forgot about Crispycakes...think if I wished real hard they'd send us some more, some month?

I have tried the Snappeas and I thought they were okay...I wouldn't buy them on my own but I'l eat them. Same with the fig bar - tastes good, but not something I'd go out and buy.

this is TOUGH. im contemplatig ordering a second box for gifts.... anyone out there that gets the box. what is the texture of the scarf? Im also debating on the FFF box. there are gonna be so many goodies in there ! cant belive they are still available.
I have been silently debating the FFF box also. I got a box (possibly two) from them before I cancelled. I wasn't "wow'd" by anything but I love that fragrance spoiler. That has been my scent for the 10 years or so, so I know how much that vial costs... but I have a full vial that I got in a trade. So, do I really need another? But I'm so curious about what else is in the box...there look to be a lot of goodies in there. But I already got the PSMH LE box on order and the Nina Garcia box.... #firstworldproblems

I'm just kind of on beauty product overload, so I'm making myself cut down on subs because I have more than I can use. I have been with both Ipsy and Glossybox US since the beginning (with a few breaks) so cancelling is kind of hard! HOwever, I've been less and less happy with Ipsy and the items they send out from the same 3 or 4 mediocre brands, over and over, and I've been trying to talk myself into just cancelling...but this month and the crap with the smelly/contaminated lipgloss and the way they're handling it just sealed the deal!

I have generaly been happy with Glossybox as far as products go, but it's expensive and again, I'm just accumulating too much stuff. I am also leery of the company after some of the issues other countries have had with GB.

I really like the mix of things in PS (and FabFitFun) and I wish there were more subs like these!

Send me a scarf/accessory, a piece of jewelry, a snack, a beauty product, and a book/dvd/fitness item every month and I'll be happy! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 This! Yes!

I think my issue with Ipsy was that it just didn't "wow" me...I was on the waitlist with that sub the longest and maybe I invested too much anticipation in it, but I think I practically expected gold to shoot out of the bag when I opened it!!

The products I got in GB were great- who is going to turn down a Beauty Blender? And the perfume that I got (as a sub for the Body wash) is awesome! But I felt like it was unorganized and I definitely agree with you on some of the other GB country reviews of their experience...raises some eyebrows!

So far, PopSugar and FFF are my two favorites, and I really like BB because I have (so far) always received items that are new or useful or at least interesting! I'm waitlisted for the Nina Garcia Quarterly...and waiting for my first Your Bijoux Box this month (I think YBB is going to be dangerous...)

I absolutely need to figure out how to set up a trade list; my little one bedroom NY apartment is being taken over by products!!!

 
I hate to be a downer, but I wouldn't recommend posting an image that has your unique coupon code on it. Anyone could take that and use it, leaving you SOL.

Maybe make a wish on the necklace from this box, haha! I loved the crispycake and forgot all about it until now. I definitely need to order some! Maybe theyll do an easter one for next months box, lol.

I was thinking that too:( I'd take the photo down, or black out the code so someone doesn't swipe it.

 
This is definitely a better box than the past couple:) I won't be keeping everything in it, but as long as there's a scarf in a box I'm happy:)!

Is the charm on the necklace something you could realistically put on another chain?
I was thinking the same thing...I'm curious about the backing of the charm....

 
All I have to say is ... I'm so excited!!! Not sure on the jurlique since the other serum they sent out the all natural argan oil broke me out like crazy. I am head over heels over everything else!

We are apparently sub twins! haha! Birchbox is the one beauty sub I'm keeping at this time, for the same reasons you mentioned - I always get different things, new and useful, new brands. And the points are awesome, and it is what I feel a true beauty sampling sub should be.

I want to try Nina's box, and I've been eyeballing YBB, but haven't let myself take the plunge on either yet, because I need to be saving money and spending it on my pitiful wardrobe! I've also been scoping out Social Bliss. I need a raise!

I agree! Not only in the sun, but there is NO SNOW to be seen!

Oh man, we really are sub twins!!

I have high hopes for YBB; their customer service is insane (Everyone on the YBB thread on MUT is on a first name basis with both owners!); I used a coupon code for a free necklace, plus my three pieces in my March sub, plus they had a promo for a discounted piece that was sent in February that I was dying for...so all in all I spent about $50 for 5 pieces of jewelry...

And Social Bliss will probably be my next downward spiral into total subscription box addiction/overload...that black studded clutch!? I crave. Definitely regret missing out on that!!
