EDIT: When I drop it on a table it seems to make a metal sound.
Try touching it with an ice cube or running it under cold water; if the temperature of the octagon is the same as the chain, it's probably metal.

For those interested in Jewelmint, i just got an email with a special. For new members, first piece is $8.99 instead of $29.99 with discount code PIECE8. The only thing to remember is that once you make a purchase from the Mint sites, they will charge you every month until you skip or cancel. I don't think the code is specific to me, so enjoy!

Just curious. Anyone else from West Virginia

I'm from there originally - my family is still all there, but I haven't lived there since 2004.

A neon orange and a school bus/urine yellow. The orange I can use during the summer, but that shade of yellow...yikes!

I would much rather have your colors! I got it in boring black and a purple-pinkish color

 

[Miranda Hollen]

Sorry about the double post ladies!

gahhh I promised myself I would not look at the spoilers but I caved! this seems to be a good box. mine has been sitting in nj for two days and the shipping says it will stay there and not be delivered until the 13th. wth!!! so wrong. anyway I do love everything we have gotten thus far. considering getting the special box when they offer it. I passed on the last one and I wished I hadn't.

Yay for enabling 

 

[jesemiaud]

Mine is now in my city and delivery says Monday...that's the shortest time it has ever gotten to me. I did cancel though because I wanted to try FabFitFun. I may resub in the future, though.

 

[MissKellyC]

Mine left Lenexa and I'm guessing should be here Monday or Tuesday! Can't wait! =D

 

[DorotaD]

I just received my box! I am so happy because I got the combination of things i was hoping to get, judging from previous spoilers. Here's what i got in my box...!

 

[debilynn]

I got charged the beginning of the month and it's already shipped. I am in Florida and it usually takes about 10 days to get to me. I am super excited about he eearly spoilers! I mostly wear silver but have a few gold pieces. That one item will be great to wear to the office!

 

[ashleymk4]

I can't believe I got my box already. Usually since I'm in Ohio it takes a lot longer. But I've got to say I'm much happier with this month's box than last months. I think I'll use pretty much everything! Except I want to trade the delicate wash shampoo for the denim wash. I'm new though so I hope I can figure out all this trading stuff. Hope everyone likes their boxes this month!

Mine arrived pre-chilled (it's still winter, after all!), so I didn't have to run it under water:  It's metal.

And I got phenomenally lucky with colors this month:  The two-color set item was shimmery green and lavender (my favorite color combination is green and purple.  I wear it pretty much every day one way or another.  Today, it's in the form of my glasses!), and this is actually something that I would have bought in an instant if I had seen it in stores, and the one-color item was blue (another one of my favorite colors.  I already have a similar item, so I might end up putting this one up for trade, but I'm still very happy that it is the color that it is!).  The universe must be making up for how horrible the February box was for me.  *So* glad I let this subscription stay on probation instead of canceling!

ok. I LOVE THIS BOX... however,

 i have some beef about the Buxom coupon. 

The coupon says  "receive your deluxe sample of buxom lip polish with ANY ONLINE PURCHASE AT SEPHORA. "

i went on sephora since this is my all time favorite gloss EVER, and picked my "purchase item" of Tarte's primer trio sample..... its $9. I entered the code and got red text saying  

"Purchase must be $25 or over to qualify". 

DAMN IT! Whyyyy doesnt the coupon say that?! that SUCKs. 

 

[tara1012]

Got my box today...this one was definitely a miss for me. I liked last month's much better.

I don't like Peeps, so I'm giving those away.

  My nail polish leaked, but I hate the colors anyway. I'm not going to bother contacting Popsugar, because I don't like ANY of the colors I've seen so far. They all seem to be bright neons or pastels. 
 
The necklace is hideous and I agree with whoever above said that it almost feels plastic. Not sure how the swap thing works on here, but if anyone wants the necklace, PM me. I won't ever wear it and I can't think of anyone I know who will.
 
I got the delicates cleanser - I'm pleased with that. I can definitely use that on bras or sweaters that need the delicate cycle. Although Tide seems to work fine for me...so this wasn't really a "must-have". I guess I don't have that much fancy clothing? Ha.
 
I don't drink a lot of wine, but I did have to destroy a wine cork the other day with a serrated knife trying to open a bottle to cook with, so the wine corkscrew is nice.
 
Mascara is always good. I thought this was the original Buxom mascara, but I guess it's a new one with a curvy wand? Hopefully it's as good as the original.
 
The sweater saver crumbled black sand-like stuff all over when I opened it, so I'm kind of scared to use it on a sweater - especially a light colored one. Again, something I could live without ever buying or using in my life.
 
The Hollywood Secrets tape is a good idea, but I'll probably never actually use it.
Okay, so that sounded pretty whiny....basically it all came down to personal preference and this box just really wasn't catered towards me at all. But I'm glad a lot of you seemed to like it! I subscribed knowing that not every box or item would be for me, so not big deal, just a little underwhelmed.

I love all the spoiler posts and pictures!  Thank you to all for those ...

I have seen pictures of boxes that don't haveof boxes that don't have the necklace, but have a really cute bracelet instead.  The necklace appeared kind of cheesy looking, but who knows with out seeing it in person.  The only other thing in the March box that will probably be gifted is the nailpolish. I have a no-chip manicure and always get a French pedicure.  The colors I am seeing posted are ghastly.

 

[gejag]

You are so right about the sweater thing

!  I bought one from someplace (Beauty.com) and when it arrived it was mostly grey dust...I should have returned it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I was hoping it was just poor handling not a bad product entirely.   That is also the way I felt about the gaudy necklace;

 it looks to be a very bad knock-off of a really stunning designed piece.  I am hoping I get the cute bracelet

   Feeling on the nailpolish

 seem to be unanimous.

Some of us are still trying to remain spoiler free.  I'd have appreciated spoiner tags or whiting out here.  Not trying to be whiny, or single you out, but please be considerate everyone.

I do know the only 'sure' way to be spoiler free is to avoid the internet and again am not meaning to be whiny,  but I'd appreciate it thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My box should be here Mon or Tues so my wait will be over then!

 

[surelyslim]

I agree, please use the tags because whited out words don't show up on mobile devices. On a another note, the box has arrived in San Diego. I'll get to see it after the weekend!
