*Spoilers* POPSUGAR Must Have June, 2013 Box

[farrah3]

Love your polish---did you do a base coat of white underneath or just several coats of the pinky coral color.  I think I got that in my BB too---gotta check my shelf.  LOVE it with the scarf! Sooo pretty!

About the book...

it SUCKS! (in my opinion). I remember absolutely loving the first one, so I was so excited to get this one... I'm about 3/4 of the way through and it's really pretty bad. Andy is so annoying and whiney and really just unlikable and the whole thing seems thrown together. Bummer! 

 
Still happy it was included in the box though because I definitely would have wanted to read it either way, and this way I didn't (really) have to pay for it!

You think the anniversary box will be special or just another box? It doesn't seem like a lot of the companies go all out for the anniversary.,.

I think it will be just another box. I think the subscribers think about it a lot more than the companies do. Everyone made a big deal about the Glossybox anniversary and it seems like they were like "Oh yeah, anniversary box, sure!" and just kinda slapped that label on the May box.

I agree - wouldn't mind/be surprised if they gave us a voucher for a free cupcake from Crumbs or something along those lines though!

Agreed. I'm just a chapter or two into it, and holy mechanical writing, Batman! But I need to clean out my fridge, and a large portion of that is booze (hard cider, sparkling wine, and spiced liqueur), so it will be Drinky Crow time when I finally have the time to settle in with it. And I didn't really pay for it, and I don't have to remember to take it back to the library.

 

[AshJs3]

Finally out for delivery! Geeze! I'm starting to hate waiting for it each month and I've started thinking of the "C" word. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I love the boxes but the shipping time is just ridiculous. Plain old USPS first class doesn't take this long! By the time it finally gets to me, I'm not as excited. I've also thought about going spoiler free, but by now I would have missed most of the conversation about everything.

Nope just a base coat.  It was streaky though, not the best quality of polish. It took two pretty heavy coats to even out.  Matches the scarf perfectly.

Hey everyone! I'm a long time lurker on this board but I just realized I ordered two June boxes (I must have clicked submit twice). Yay for me. Not so great for my wallet. I was wondering if anyone missed out on getting one and wants one. It would be for the entire box. If anyone wants to buy it (ideally for the 35 i paid and ill pay for shipping) and I'll ship it Monday. Pm me if you're interested. Thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Loved the box this month!

Just a friendly reminder to keep trades/purchases in the B/S/T forums - there is a special one set up just for subscription boxes and is a lot easier to sort through! https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/23798/subscription-box-swaps

Do u think the moisturizer etc. Would still be okay to use after the box sat in 110 degree weather in the mailbox for two days? Should be okay right? I find the box protects stuff from the heat a bit...

 

[AshJs3]

Just ordered the Gorjana Taner bracelet. I saw that the necklace was on sale for $28 at Hautelook. Sad I missed it!

 

[wurly]

Crazy thing is that hautelook gives you a $25 gorjana coupon for each gorjana purchase, even if the item costs less than $25. Coupon seems like the same deal with our coupon from popsugar, no combining, or sales.

I got mine today! The husband snatched it from the mailman and sat it in the garage and never mentioned it! I love the scarf. Love it. I live in west Texas where scarves are completely silly this time of year all the way through October but I will rock that nautical cuteness in the fall like a boss! I'm excited about the book, even if it is just word fodder, because I devour books anyway and I'm just happy I didn't have to go and pay list price for it. I am giving the kids my sea salt popcorn as a snack tomorrow (4 kids, it'll be gone in 2 minutes lol) I am definitely subbing for July just in case it is super awesome  but with how much I've liked the boxes the last two months, I can't stand to not do it again next month even though I hate the waiting. If you see me in the spoiler thread for July, kick my ass out! lol I want to have at least one sub come to the door as a surprise! This sub is the only one I ever truly love. Ipsy always finds a way to mess with my head. I hope I can find the cash to get a purse on gorjana's site, fingers crossed!

 

[MissKellyC]

Have to say I'm pretty excited that this months box got me my first referral! Yeah! I really hope July is a good box! I'd feel bad if it wasn't and she signed up.... ! I have a good feeling about it though... These last two have been great and it seems like they really are trying to listen to our feedback. =)

I still have to use my Charm and Chain and Gorjana cards, I was going to try and not spend too much above the gc value but looks like that is not gonna happen. I was thinking of getting the leather wrap studded bracelet from Gorjana...it's simple but I think it's pretty. Anyone tried those? Any other suggestions?

I got the sand dollar ring which was $30 ($5 after GC). There also was a pair of silver stud earrings for $25. But if the bracelet is more your style, go for it! It's more important that you can actually wear and enjoy whatever you pick.

On another note, I read the first couple of chapters of The Devil Returns last night...ugh, it's so painful to read. Can anyone tell me if it gets better? Is it worth reading? I expect it to be pretty much all fluff and that's okay, but the writing is just so bad thus far.

I looked at the sand dollar ring, too, very cute. I also read a couple of chapters and I have noticed a lot of typos and what seem to be editing errors, although, i am no expert so I could be totally wrong. It seems like sentences cut off mid thought and join with another thought which doesn't make sense to me. I loved the first book and really hoping this one will get better...

 

[wldflowur13]

Has anyone seen a way to get the shipping charges down? I wanted to irder a bracelet from gorjane and shipping was almost $13!!!
