PopSugar Must Have September 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

[greeneyedfoxxx]

I will check out Fabletics! I was wondering about them. Ellie was a bit of a let down, though I do use their leggings a lot. Tops were not great.

I love the scarf! I've been using the blue ikat scarf to add color to my plain black shift dress when I want to dress nice at work, and I'm sure this scarf will serve the same purpose /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the colors are beautiful, and I wish I had bought another box with coupon code to gift.

The whole box was a win for me. Even the pencils, and I use mechanical pencils at work. They will look so nice in my pencil mug.

And I'm so thankful there are responses to the posts about "why would popsugar include products with allergens, aversions, restrictions, etc." I read those and wondered what if popsugar listened to those because they are the most vocal? Those dang coconut chips would be out as well and they were so good. As would every single snack ever offered ever. And isn't food part of one of their product categories? Made me sad.

This box continues the popsugar monthly win streak for me starting from the month with the blue ikat scarf.

Depending on shipping costs, I might end up using the "gift card" for the urban remedy place.  It isn't really a gift card if you're required to spend a certain amount..it is a discount coupon.  Why do they insist they're gift cards? Lol.  Anyways, the snacks don't interest me, but they're supposed to have cold pressed juice, which I do like.  

Just a heads up, if you sign up for their mailing list, they send you a $15 off coupon.

Got my Sept box yesterday and I love it. The scarf is gorgeous. Much much better than the one in the LE box.  I especially like how long it is.  I am 5'7" and if I hang it around my neck, it goes almost to my knees. This gives me so many more options in terms of styling.  The LE scarf is just too short.

The color on the Tilo scarf is more of a dark maroon/burgundy. Between a purple and a brown.

The pencils are kind of funny because that is the second time this month I have received those exact same pencils. They were in the goody bags that OH HAPPY DAY gave out at one of their workshops. That company must be doing a big marketing push right now.

Okay guys, here's my roundup! Got my box yesterday.

Scarf - Raisin indeed, is the best color description for this scarf. I loooove the grey color because I have been into more greys lately for some reason.

Earbuds - Used them last night. I'm a hiphop head and I must say, the bass on here is great. I do find it kind of staticish but it doesn't bother me.

Hairspray - Smells nice. Haven't really tried it yet but this is staying in my cosmetic bag.
Card set - Not too fond of, but will use since Christmas is coming and my family is full of girls, go figure.
Pencils - They're cute. I would use them, but I rarely use pencils anymore. May give away or just have on hand. I would've really liked if they gave a pack of pens with this design instead!
Nike code - I think I'm the only one who's going to use this for SOCKS. LOL. That was the first thing that came to mind when I heard we got the giftcode. I lalalalooove Nike socks because they're so comfortable!

Ghirardelli - I opened this pouch and ate half of it already while going through my box. I'm cursing myself right now bc I left it at home this morning, booooo. Could've had a snack for work!

Okay, okay, I'm signalling out the BROWNIE bc when I seen it. I was like, umm, yeah, looks like poop. I opened it to taste and I was like, OMG I LOVE THIS. LOL. It DID have some weird/protein after taste but not overbearing like a real protein bar. But I unexpectedly LOVED IT. I agree with the other person who said it had the RIGHT AMOUNT OF SWEETNESS!

That $10 coupon or whatever doesn't help, as I seen besides snacks, their juices for a 3 day supply was over $200. I was just like HUUUUUUUUH?!

Overall great box. This box poops all over the LE, which I'm still hurt about, might I say. Well, we can't win them all ladies! LOL.

Just got mine today...

I definitely feel "eh" about the box. I love chocolate, so of course I'll eat the Ghiradelli up, and I really needed some new headphones, but the rest I don't really care about. Oh, I will definitely use the Nike gift card since I wanted some new shoes, but I'll still have to spend at least $80. 

I don't think the scarf is nearly as pretty as people on here think, but that's just my opinion. It won't get worn at all, so I'll have to see if someone else wants it. The pencils will sit unused on my desk, as will the cards. I'll probably give the brownie to my friend who is vegan. I actually like a lot of vegan stuff, but after all the negative things about the taste of these brownies, I think I'll steer clear of them!!

I agree about the scarf... I'll have to wait to see it in person to make a final judgement but from the pictures I think it looks pretty frumpy

Haha, I wore it all day yesterday and got TONS of compliments!  I'd say it's all in how you style it.

 

[PinkShanyn]

Got my box!!!   

A full 4 days a head of schedule.  (WHAAAT!?)

The scarf is cute.  I'll totally rock it.   However.... I *must* be a cheap @$$.... because there's no way i'd pay more than $20 for it.  IJS.    

The earbuds are pretty.  I got the cobalt blue ones.  (it's like PSMH KNOWS me!)

The chocolates are gone.  I made the mistake of opening them at work and everyone scarfed them up.  I swear... we have chocolate radar. 

The brownie?   Yeah... we had a good laugh about that.   And about the fact that the juice cleanses are $75+ A DAY.... I don't even spend that much on 2 weeks worth of groceries.   B*tch please!     I'm going to give it a taste this weekend....as I hover over my trashcan.   

My nike GC will also be used towards socks.  I'm a sock snob and LOVE Puma and Nike socks.   Don't judge me.   

The hairspray to me is alright.  I'll add it into my stash of sample-sized things I use for traveling.  No big. 

The cards are kinda cute.   I hoard stationary like a 90 year old woman... so i'm ok with this.  

The pencils are ADORABLE.   I'm going to have to hide them because my niece is spending the night and I already KNOW she's going to try and jack them.  

All in all... I'm a lot more pleased with this box now that it's in my chubby little hands.  
 

Thanks for the goodies, PSMH.

I'm a daily runner and I highly recommend fabletics. They have some really good pieces for pretty cheap.

I received my 2nd box that I ordered using the affiliate code - I don't don't that I'll ever buy 2 boxes in one month again but hopefully I can sell the earbuds and scarf or I'll end up gifting them. I got the Jurlique serum as my bonus code item.

And the plastic bag ban will be enacted soon too.. Deuces shopping in the loop. (But let's be real, probably not, since I'm down there five days a week and only a few blocks from State)

Also, my shipping is taking for-freaking-ever. It says it won't be here till next Wednesday. Whatcha doin, fedex? Just holding onto that package forever?

I pretty much always have a bag with me so that's not to bad. But I hate buying down here because of all the tax. Well and having to lug it home on the train.

Mine is taking forever too! It also says Wednesday. Is FedEx testing our head phones? Mine actually made its stop in chiacgo today so it should be in Wisconsin by now and back in IL tomorrow.

 

[I'm so addicted]

Ugh, today has been such a LONG and trying day... 1 year olds who refuse to sleep and wake up at 6:45am are a complete pill! He's lucky he's cute, but this phase sucks! Combined with diaper changing refusals complete with exorcist contortion moves...oh, and did I mention he's teething molars too? I love my job, I'm a great nanny, but sheesh.. give a girl a break, lol.

Good news is my box showed up today after all!!! They just didn't update shipping until late this afternoon when it was delivered. I opened up everything, love everything (well, I haven't tried the brownie yet). Wearing the scarf while sitting on the couch destressing (my scarf is dark gray and deep purple ombre)..eating a Ghirardelli square (OMG tastes like Heaven!) and watching "Kitten Party" on Netflix. Don't judge, lol, its live action version of pics of cute kitten online. They're so cute.

Depending on shipping costs, I might end up using the "gift card" for the urban remedy place. It isn't really a gift card if you're required to spend a certain amount..it is a discount coupon. Why do they insist they're gift cards? Lol. Anyways, the snacks don't interest me, but they're supposed to have cold pressed juice, which I do like.

This box is hands down better than the Fall LE box for me. I should have just bought 2 of these instead of the LE box!

haha sounds like my day plus a 4 yo. But u get get to go home alone.. I'm no in bed with my 2 yo who ran him self Iinto the door and was too up set to sleep.. oh huhthe joys my box will be hhere thursday

Just a reminder to please stay on the topic of Popsugar in this thread. I'm going to set up a new thread for Ecosalon's box & move those posts over there. Will post the link to it when I'm finished! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks!

ETA: Here we go! https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/134197-ecosalons-the-fair-trade-and-fabulous-box/

I want my box. I need to get my hands on that scarf and to eat that, supposedly weird tasting, brownie.

Mine is taking forever too! It also says Wednesday. Is FedEx testing our head phones? Mine actually made its stop in chiacgo today so it should be in Wisconsin by now and back in IL tomorrow.

My box has gone from NJ, to OH, to PA and needs to come to Central NY, where it can then go through a backwoods post office....I have had things shipped via smart post before, never have they taken detours like this. 

 

[yjk98]

I love the scarf. Beautiful! I also used the Nike Gift Card and had no problems!

Yeah it's only 44 degrees here right now. Definitely scarf weather!

Mine says it's supposed to be delivered on Thursday (!!) but it's already in Wisconsin, so hopefully much sooner. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[sasha3000]

@ I am so jealous that you are experiencing cooler weather, so jealous.

@ I am so jealous that you are experiencing cooler weather, so jealous.

I'll second this sentiment!  We're getting a heat wave over here in SoCal this weekend, supposed to be 100 or higher in most cities.  Of course this happens the weekend I have to be at a hot park and then at Disneyland, and then at my mother in law's already sweat shop-hot apartment with no a/c!  If I'm not around for the next box's thread, it is because I've literally melted! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[hellofrances]

I just got my box today and posted over on my blog.  I'm actually pretty happy about the box, but I'm SO bummed I missed out on the August box.  I forgot to change my bank details after my debit card # changed. But, I really liked the headphones, the chocolate (obvs), and the pencils in this box. I will wear the scarf, but $125- no thanks! I love rifle paper co, but I just don't love the designs on the cards. It's funny that the pencils were the cheapest thing in the box, and they were the item I loved the most!

 

[saku]

it's like mid-50s here! and i turned on the heat in the apartment for 15 minutes today! i want my scarf! haha
