*Spoilers* September 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[melanie0971]

What $500? I want to order something from shoptiques but it's kind of pricy. I was thinking if we did a round-robin of referrals we could each get $15 off our orders, except for the last person. Do you think that would work?

Apparently someone is going to get a 500 card. I love the round robin idea! Maybe the winner will be in our group and they'll offer to be last

AAAGH I gave in. I ordered my boots from Shoptique. They are pricey, but on sale. The $25 was helpful, but not that much. I can't wait to get them and wear them all over the place!!!!  If you see a chubby Asian girl with the most awesome moto boots stomping around Chicagoland, it's me!

A research question for y'all...if you could choose between Glossybox and Popsugar (and you can only have 1), which would you choose? I'm considering a GB sub, but I have decided that I am only going to allow myself 3 subs and I wouldn't give up Birchbox or Yuzen, so PS would be the one to go. What do you think?

PopSugar. 

  Save yourself from GB, shipping is horribly late (think worse than Ipsy...if you can imagine...I got my August box in September and September box is shaping up to arrive in October), and customer service is inconsistent and hard to get a hold of, but they do have a phone number which is more than PS will post (unless you do some googling to look for Sugar's number).   And I haven't even had that bad of time with GB either, but it seems a lot of people have had trouble with them.   That being said I like the items GB sends, the packaging is nice, they are typically good about replacing items...IF you can get through to CS.  The collaboration boxes are really nice and they usually have promo codes that reduce the cost of the box.     PS has it's own disadvantages (slow shipping, inconsistent CS, high price, sometimes boxes are a fail...but that's the nature of subscription boxes).  But variety of items, the fact that they rarely release spoilers about the boxes and I suppose the unknown (surprise factor) about what's coming month to month (you pretty much assume beauty related items with GB) makes PS the winner, to me.

Can I suggest Ipsy as a write-in? Glossybox is decent every other month, but their shipping and their inconsistency with.. everything.. makes me rage so much.

I would throw my vote to PopSugar. Glossybox and ipsy are the two subs I rage-canceled due to infuriating shipping and box/bag contents.

My box finally delivered in Cleveland yea!

lol...I actually just cancelled Ipsy. Wasn't even really a shipping issue as I've always gotten my bag fairly quickly. It's just that I haven't really liked much of what I've gotten from them.

I would keep popsugar. I got overloaded with beauty supplies that I never really used with ipsy and glossybox. I stick with psmh because it's the only box that gives me the weird random stuff I like to have even if I don't use it lol My makeup drawer can only hold so much! Also, I cut back all my subs to just psmh, so I might be biased lol

OK, if you change the spelling to "male", that could be a really dirty sentence. Sorry, I'm incorrigible. 

 

[martianeskimo]

I saw the spoiler pics and have to say I'm pretty excited! I didn't get the August box (and I wasn't interested in anything in it) but I definitely see myself using everything in this box. I'm actually really happy about it which is the first time I've felt that way about ps in a while /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They have turned out pretty good thus far.  I am currently waiting for my 3rd coat of poly to dry, and then I need to cut my cork board.  Here are a couple photos.  Once I know they have dried completely, I will try them with a glass of ice water to see if they hold up.  They have a real nice glossy sheen to them now. Polyurethane on them does change the color slightly.

Man, people have already spent their gift cards, and whatnot but my box still hasn't shipped. :-/ It's so odd. This hasn't happened before. Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Totally! There are only so many beauty products one person can use. I love PopSugar purely because I never know what I'm going to get. It's a great mix of everything and truly does feel like a gift every month.

Yep, this has never happened to me either and I've never gotten it this late. Kind of disappointing. I did get the email someone posted above, so at least I know it will be on its way.

I got my box today and I actually love more than what the spoilers showed. I couldn't help it I had to get this infinity ring from shoptiques. With the gift card & the $5 off, it was $10.00 with shipping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have wanted an infinity ring for so long!

 

[avonleabelle]

I got my box yesterday and I like everything okay. The book is nice but I think the crafts are kinda silly looking. The snacks looked interesting but I obviously didn't put my box high enough because my brother's German Shepard got into my box and ate the snacks. I hope they weren't too yummy so I didn't miss anything.

$5 off? Code?

 

[jbird1175]

$5 off? Code?

If you share what you purchased on Facebook... you get $5 off. There is a link at the checkout screen. I bought the silver double knot ring for $14... originally $44 with shipping.
