[SPOILERS] POPSUGAR Must Have March 2013

[RaquelMichelle7]

Saw this in this Month's Glamour and it made me laugh and think about this box.


As far as the new subscription box is concerned I clicked over to the page and it looks interesting, the first box is claiming a $120+ value and is guaranteeing a full sized Moroccan Oil treatment that I've been wanting to try out so I took the plunge and figure I'll see how the first box goes. Does anyone know if there's already a forum on here for the new box so we don't clutter this one talking about it?

In any case, I'm pretty pleased with this month's POPSUGAR box! Hopefully I'll have it by tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

I agree. It would be great if someone could make a page for it!

I LOVE popsugar, but I also have zero self control and just signed up for fabfitfun.  Ahh, now I'm super excited to see what's in THAT box!!

 

[kitnmitns]

I posted a thread for it right here today in the subscription and sampling forum. I am surprised you didn't see it

I did. HAD to. No self control over here at all.

This months box is half and half for me.. Some things I'll use, some I won't. We'll see when I get it! I like the idea of the fabfitfun box... But I just don't have money for more than the one monthly box. I'll be keeping an eye out for what comes in the boxes though! And I did sign up for their emails. Thanks for the tip on that.. I hadn't heard of it before! =)

I will say, as a vegetarian, it's funny to me that this is the 3rd month in a row they've sent something with gelatin in it. It's just funny because there's a million candies in the world...but they pick one with the same ingredient I can't eat every single month! 

 THIS^^^

And with the gelatin, not only is it not veg*an friendly, it's also not kosher or halal.

 I may be frustrated, but my husband has been happy with the gummies, marshmallows conversation hearts, and now peeps. I expect to receive products I can't have once in awhile, but I can't help but feel that it's getting old. Especially from a company that was one of the first to promote "Meatless Mondays" and regularly has features on vegan and vegetarian food. 

I'm okay with the food being in boxes, but I wish they'd stay away from "controversial" ingredients like gelatin and peanuts.

As a lifelong vegetarian I am not bothered by it. I think it's because I am just used to the fact that the majority of people aren't and I just mentally skip over things I won't eat. I definitely do not think gelatin and peanuts are commonly understood to be controversial. I don't even think of peanuts to be controversial. That's the last I will say on it because I actually find discussing my food preference to be unbelievably tedious. I rarely mention it unless I am turning food down. The inevitable questions are understandable but I have literally spent decades saying the same exact thing.

Laundry supplies on my PS box is like getting a vacuum cleaner for my birthday - I would get used....but it not a treat! 

 

[kitnmitns]

I really want to know what the box pamphlet says about the last item we figured out. I want the details!

Have to agree here too, I'm on a no sugar, no grains (or peanuts), no soy, no anything fun, no cupcakes diet challenge with my gym so 90% of the time the snacks in the PS boxes I look at as 1) minimal to low value fillers/extras and 2) instantly given to my boyfriend/sister/friends etc. since they don't meet my diet.  The food items are not really missed when given away, and not a reason I sub to and look forward to my PS box. But I wouldn't be opposed to PS sending us Cupcake trucks to my area or vegan cupcakes in our boxes, that would be so fun and unique!   My feedback to PS was less food items, but I think they'll always include some sort of snack type food in the boxes because they're easy, cheap, shippable and make for a good extra item.  

Besides the pretty items in the box more than make up for easter candy.  I really wish I had my box today!  Still in Sacramento come on box MOVE!!!

I have learned that Sacramento is often the last check in location before it is on a truck for a few days, so yours may be moving. I don't eat a lot of sugar but no sugar sounds daunting /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i'm a vegetarian too -- but my niece doesn't mind that I can't eat conversation hearts and peeps -- more for her /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hope I get the denim wash, then.  I don't own any cashmere or delicates...but by golly, I have a toooooon of jeans.

Bras actually count as delicates /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's hard to say. I mean, their website is just like POPSUGAR's - but this subscription service asks for specific information...like sizes and hair color, etc.

Also, supposedly it's curated by Guiliana Rancic. 

FabFitFun box? I signed up...if I don't like it, I'll cancel. But it's like PS. I like boxes that have different layers/aspects to it!
