Popsugar Must Have March 2014 *SPOILERS*

[Bizgirlva]

I got my box today. No variations, I'm wearing the necklace and scarf, my bf and I ate the snacks right away (glad I got the try the fig bars, bleh...the peas are surprisingly good). 

The ring holder is adorable.  It is a little "young" but I think it's very cute. 

Uh no way is the scarf $72, anyone who would pay that is nuts!  Not that it's not beautiful, but sheesh markup much? 

The serum is very fragrant. 

Overall I'm very satisfied, but I'm usually happy with all my PS boxes.

Oh, my cat is terrified of the exercise ball, I mean like he bolts if I go near it.  He is the definition of a scaredy cat.

My box is not arriving until Tuesday, but I'm loving all the spoilers! It looks like my box only weighs 1.8, so I'm pretty sure I didn't win the lollia items. Has anyone heard of anyone getting a box with the lollia items yet? Or does anyone have a box shipping that weighs more? I'd love to hear what they think of those products!

To my knowledge, the regular, monthly boxes never have variations.  Only the Special Edition boxes do.

They often have color (bentgo box for example) or scent (nice or naughty candles for example) variations.

I will say that regardless of liking the items individually, the wide selection is fantastic! I love that they included fitness, fashion, beauty, food... Still waiting for the elusive silver jewelry item!

Wah! I want my box! It looks like I won't get mine until Wednesday or Thursday. I showed my 17 year old cousin what was in this month's and she loved it all too so I think it would make a great gift for all ages!

I tried really hard to eat those snap pea chips and I just couldn't do it. I love snap peas.. real ones. But these chips were not for me at all. I ended up tossing them. That strawberry fig bar was delicious though.

I think Ive decided to keep the necklace and the elephant as gifts for people. Im terrible at giving gifts especially for family so maybe If I start stocking up now people will actually think I tried for once lol

Got mine today--love the feel and color of the scarf. It drapes really well and matches a lot of what I already have. Honestly, it's also great for transitioning into spring bc it can work with both lighter and darker colors. Tried the serum, will see how it works. Will probably bring the elephant to work to cheer up my office. Good box for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hoping for something makeup-y next month--and maybe the elusive infuser bottle haha.

The rules say that the prize will actually be in may box. So everyone gets the same thing this month.

I got my box today.  The scarf is so soft!  I love the shade of blue.  I already have more scarves than I know what to do with, but I don't have any in this color, so this is great.  The elephant ring holder is cute.  It's not really something that I need, but I have a lot of elephant decor in my apartment, so it will fit right in.  I'm not sure how I feel about the serum yet.  I'm a bit nervous to try it since I am happy with my skin care regimen as it is, and I broke out pretty badly (for the first time in years) after using the face mask in January.  Maybe I will do as others suggested and use it on my hands. The ball seems fun, although so far I've just been playing with it haven't used it to exercise yet.  I'm sort of meh on the necklace.  I would prefer if it were on a real chain, but I guess I can get one and put the pendant on it.  The snacks are fine--I'll eat and probably like them, but I don't find them too exciting.  

So overall, I do like the box, but I'm not exactly over the moon about it.  The only thing I love is the scarf, and even though its value is supposed to be $72, I would never pay nearly that much for it.  I will most likely use everything in this box, so I can't really complain about it.  But I do feel like I'm trying to like/use everything so that I can justify the cost of the box to myself.  I can probably give some of the items away as gifts, though, so that helps.

Me too! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But I guess that's what I get for waiting until the scarf spoiler to order a box. At least I'm looking forward to receiving it, though! hehe

I've had an active subscription for months now!!!  It's ridiculous how long I'm waiting.  From past history, I've never had to wait past the 7th my box to ship!! Ugh… Sigh..

 That's a bummer, but I'm sure you'll get it soon! Or at least I hope!

Before this month I had been subscribed since November and all of my boxes besides February's had arrived towards the end of the month even though they departed from SoCal like 120 miles south of me, haha. I have bad luck with shipping.

Officially ate all the Snapeas snacks all in one day today!! haha! Love those things.

Same! I've actually wanted to try the Snapeas for a long time so I was so excited to try them, but they're just not my taste at all. I felt the same about the truffle Pipcorn from January--I usually just end up bringing Popsugar food to work.

Got my box today and I'm really pleased. The elephant ring holder is so cute, I actually already have an elephant ring holder (a repurposed tea light candle holder) so they can be buddies now. The scarf is lovely, quite a bit larger than I was expecting. With these sub boxes I'm really creating a scarf collection, I'm still not sure I'm wearing them right (even after watching How To videos on YouTube.) The ball seems cool, will have to figure out how to use it. The serum is awesome. I really like that they keep giving us high quality skincare, rather than makeup. That skincare is the kind of stuff I can't usually afford to get myself. The necklace is okay. At first I was thinking of putting it on a chain for more longevity, but honestly the charm is just okay. So, I'm going to use it as intended and hope my wish comes trues. (Question, is the intent that we would never take it off, even at night or in the shower?) Fig bars and snap chips are fine. I've had them both before. All in all a really nice, well rounded box. Miles better than last month's box.

So i started subbing in September 2013. my favorite boxes have been Jan 2014, March 2014, and Sept 2013 in that order! 

i would have loved august 2013 to with the lunch box thing, and the dermalogica and the necklace. 

i'm quitting after May though. it is just too much stuff, even if i like it. i'm sad about that though. 

Also, i am dying to order more truffle popcorn. but it is expensive with shipping. does anyone know if whole foods or trader joes would carry something like it? 

 

[javagirl87]

I'm pretty happy with everything in this box (though I haven't received mine yet, for some reason the tracking number won't even work for me?? keeps saying there's an error...).  

The only thing I don't like is the necklace, because it reminds me of the ones everyone used to wear in middle school....

YAS! @ popcorn. That stuff was so good but the shipping is ridic. I've filled a cart numerous times on their site only to cancel once I saw the shipping. Ugh.
