Popsugar Must Have March 2014 *SPOILERS*

[lauren2828]

I'm trying to order the march box for a friend as a new subscription.  I am using the promo code march10 but it keeps saying its invalid? any insight?

I used the code IKAT10 and got $10 off when the scarf spoiler was released. Maybe that one still works?

 

[gingerjenny]

does anyone know if it comes with a giftcard to say who its from when you order a gift sub?

 

[greer]

Thanks for the advice ladies! I fear a break out but I'll try the serum tomorrow night!

I haven't received my March box yet, there may be different instructions on the label of the serum. I checked out the Jurlique website and I like the brand. I always thought the brand name was generic enough that it wasn't a good line of skincare, but it looks like it is a pretty good line! I would recommend wearing a Vitamin C serum every night after you are done with the Jurlique. Certain types of Vitamin C are amazing for your skin, it really makes my skin more soft, plump & young (and I'm only 28). My boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my skin after I started using it every day. More info here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/drop-decade-your-face

Which Vitamin C serum do you use? I've been looking for a good one.

U can always put in a pillowcase or roll it up into a sock to wash it. That way it won't fray or shred.

Good idea, thanks!

I have used two kinds that I really like:

Perfect C Serum by Mychelle. I think the name of this brand is odd, but all of their products are phenomenal. I usually wait to buy until they have their BOGO (buy one get one free) sales, and they also have great Black Friday sales, with 50% codes.

The other serum I have recently tried is the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum. I got in my latest Glossybox and got some samples of it from Sephora during Black Friday. I like the consistency of this serum more than the Mychelle, but haven't used it long enough to see if it is as effective. It isn't as tacky/slightly sticky feeling as the Mychelle kind.

OHHH this gave me an idea!  The only time I ever take my wedding rings off is doing dishes - this would be SO CUTE in my kitchen!!  I might have to order another one for my nightstand though, because, you know, shiny.

This is exactly what I did! It looks really cute on my windowsill.

Does anyone else's scarf have an odor to it? I wore mine today for the first time and was asking people all morning if they smelled fish like I did. It was the scarf! I mean, I spritzed it with perfume and it smelled fine for a little bit, but it definitely needs to be washed.

I couldn't make this up--it smells like the scarf spent the night next to a fish shed to me.
Mine had a slight odor from the plastic bag, I believe. (Not like fish, though.) I hung it on a hanger in the closet overnight and the smell went away. If you do wash it, I would definitely was by hand with a gentle soap and lie flat to dry. It does seem delicate; though I don't recall seeing any washing instructions! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm really surprised to read that so many of you don't wear rings. Is it just a comfort thing? Or a style thing? I can't think of any woman I know who doesn't ever wear rings. I'm not saying its a bad thing, I don't wear makeup so I'm down with fewer accessories, I'm just curious.

I dont wear rings only because i dont have any, lol. I only recently got into wearing makeup (about a year ago) and jewelry came after that. I didnt even get my ears pierced until about that time, lol. Im 24 so i think i was a little late! I just havent found any rings that I really want yet except for EVERY SINGLE ONE from dogeared! I will definitely be getting a few of those to start my ring collection, ha!

* I should also mention that the only bracelets and necklaces I own have come from popsugar! I wear all three bracelets (the gorjana, the shashi and the lulufrost) and I have worn the gorjana open circle necklace, but just very few times. Ill wear this dogeared one daily, I think. Its perfect for me! I havent even gotten my box yet though, lol.

You could use this for earrings too! This is so cute, I am very tempted......

Ok ladies, I need your help. How/when exactly do you use the serum. My beauty regime is currently bar soap, eyeliner, and mascara. My husband subbed to this for me to get better acquainted with make up and such and I have no clue how to use the serum. In the morning instead of lotion? At night?

I always learned that you put the lightest consistency to thickest consistency. So I use my lush tea tree water -> serem/oil ->facial moisturizer Or creams. I try to let them all soak in for 5 minutes before I apply the next, and I try to wait 10-15 from applying moisturizer to primer then like 5 minutes to foundation. Of course I don't always have time for that because I like sleep, but its what I like to aim for!

the only ring I have ever had in my life is my engagement ring! I have weird sausage fingers so I never could get cute rings from the store that fit me right! Haha. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I used to wear a lot of rings but now I feel weird wearing one on any finger but my ring finger. If it's on another finger I'm very aware of it all day and it feels weird. Now I just wear my wedding set and nothing on the other hand. It feels weird to wear them on both. Anyway! As for the scarf odor, Febreeze it! I Febreeze all of my scarfs every once in a while.

Lol, I have a size 3 1/2 finger so the only ring I wear is my engagement ring and soon to be wedding band.  I would definitely wear more rings if my fingers weren't so damn tiny!  Not even any of my other fingers reach a size 5 which is the smallest widely sold size.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thank you! I don't wear foundation or anything of that nature so I'm going to start with moisturizer and the serum and see how that goes!

I looooove midi rings and have seen a ton in sizes 3 or 4! You can probably get them and wear them as regular rings!

Wow, I totally never thought of that! A co worker once bought me a children's ring -__- lol. Do you have any favorite places to shop for those?

 

[itsMac]

Nordstrom and Bloomingdales have some great trendy midi rings that are made from nice materials, so you're still investing in quality pieces! And Haute Look is having a ring sale right now with a bunch of midi rings!

I have sausage fingers and I'm allergic to nickel, so I just learned to not look at rings when I shop. It's a shame because there are some beautiful rings.
