It’s a fun box, but I’m glad I skipped this one. The only thing I would’ve used is the olive oil; it’s a nice alternative to the snacks they usually send. The glasses and necklace are really cute, just not my style.

Not super excited for this box...but I don't hate it. I will use the olive oil and the Tarte products, I also do really like the necklace. I also agree I hate when there is "popsugar" branded on the products...makes me not want to use the glasses. I also don't really get what the concept for the bag is? LIke is it to use to go to the beach? Or a clutch type purse for everyday use? The hair stuff I'm eh about.
I am relieved. I was so disappointed with the Resort Box that I swore I would never again get a Special Edition PopSugar box. But you always wonder what you are missing! The only thing I liked in this box was the necklace.
sorry, newbie here, but how does that work? Do you get more referral points if someone orders a limited edition box than you would if someone used your link to get a regular popsugar box?
Referrals for special edition boxes are the same as for a regular subscription, but the difference is that if you're referring yourself, you won't get a repeat regular box. I already had 4 referrals and when I bought this special edition box, I used my referral code to get me up to 5 referrals, so got 2 months free. Hope that makes sense!
Just received my box! I'm putting the brands of the items as listed on the info card and my thoughts on them in the spoiler.
The Tarte products we received an early spoiler on? Was super excited to see what color I got! But I ended up w/ exposed which is the nude color which generally does not work with my skin tone and isn't too exciting. I will still play around with them though so it's not a total bust.
The Soixante Neuf Jewels horn necklace is super cute and I am excited to try it out with my new summer dresses BUT the chain is ridiculously cheap feeling and looking. I feel like i'm wearing something out of a child's dress up box.
The Sachajuan Ocean Mist is a total home run I am so excited to try this out and it doesn't look heavy like a lot of sea salt sprays I have tried before.
Yes the City Rocks Glasses are Sisters Of Los Angeles! They come in the box above and I am at least semi-excited about these as my 21st is coming up and they look like they could be fun.
The Samudra pouch is cute and would be a good beach accessory but they wrote on the info card "Keep all your essentials in your statement bag for an easy transition from beach day to evening soiree" I wouldn't be caught dead at a "soiree" with this lol.
Last but not least the Eliunt olive oil. Apparently origin may vary lol, mine is from Portugal and I am excited to get cookin with this!
I would give this box maybe an 8/10 but it seems like I would have enjoyed last summers way more. Popsugar hasn't lost me yet though

I love this box! I'll use every single thing in it (well, not sure about the pouch until I figure out the print and size) and I especially like the horn necklace. Thanks to everyone for their sleuthing and posting links to products.
The one thing I'm disappointed about is that the necklace is on Guilt for 50% off the retail price. I love wearing long chained 'statement' necklaces and this one is edgy, but not too crazy. I guess even with a $78 necklace, the box is worth at least double what I paid for it.
I'm one of those that bought the Resort box and aside from the shipping nightmares, thought it was really boring and not well curated (ack, that stupid 'clutch' or 'pouch' or whatever it's supposed to be still aggravates me). This one is a huge improvement. Like someone else, I got the shipping notice on Thursday but it still shows as 'initiated'. The promise was for delivery by June 7th, I believe. . . fingers crossed, cuz I can't wait to wear that necklace!!

Thanks for posting pics of your box! The pouch looks roomy and I think the print is cute. But soiree? You're right, no way! I'm fair skinned and nude shades wash me out. Good luck making them work for you.Just received my box! I'm putting the brands of the items as listed on the info card and my thoughts on them in the spoiler.

I was extra disappointed because in my popsugar profile quiz I even put fair/light skin tone! I've read reviews where people layered the tarte color over another product though so I plan on trying that. Hope popsugar got your box right and sends you the perfect shade thoughThanks for posting pics of your box! The pouch looks roomy and I think the print is cute. But soiree? You're right, no way!

Wow - Definitely don't think this box is worth $100. Pretty bummed I succumbed at the last minute and bought it.
Oh well....at least now I won't be tempted next time!
Are the glasses plastic or glass?

I wonder what they base their decision on which boxes to send out first .. last name perhaps? Mine always tend to go out later and my last name is towards the end of the alphabet. I'll try ordering as Amy Adams or something next /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
That bag is so my soiree kind of thing .. but then those (should they ever happen) would be more the rock concert after party kind of thing ...
To me the box is easily with the $100 price tag!

Speaking of the glasses...I thought it was kind of weird to have 3 American cities and then randomly throw London in there. I would think they could have chosen another American city to keep with a theme of some sort, or make it a global theme with other cities around the world. Oh well...I am just being nit picky...I will love them when I have them in hand!
