For those of you still waiting on your boxes, I counted 20+ items you can still get completely free with your code +$5 off from sharing on FB... still lots of cute stuff left!

I also came across these gems (****... haha): http://www.shoptiques.com/products/blow-drier-earrings

Not sure what they were thinking when designing those...

What maxi dress did you get?  I'd love to add another one to my collection!

Finally!  A shipping notice.  Geez, I was about to display a **** fit for my cat's enjoyment over here or something, lol.  I'm not excited by much of the box, but it has taken so long.  I seriously bed to differ on Pop Sugar's claim that this month is worth the wait!  It certainly isn't a horrible box, but it isn't so awesome that it is "worth the wait" of this delay.

This box has some good items in it, but most just don't work for me.  I don't typically like vanilla-anything scents, so I'll use the diffuser as a gift for somebody this holiday season.  Those type of headbands don't stay on my head to save my life, so I'll end up giving those to my sister in law or nieces.  If the gift card is useable next month and anything is left I like/can afford I might use that item.  Is it sad that the best item of the box for me that I know I'll get use out of is the coasters??

I wish this month's box had a pretty makeup product or jewelry added to it.  I'm ready for next month! haha

I really love this box. I'll use everything except the diffuser (I don't trust the cats!) but I think that will make a great Christmas gift for someone.

I got my box today. I will probably gift the diffuser and coasters. the fruit bar has already been eaten and the sharkies will be soon. I'm sure I'll find a use for the headbands. The book is a slight disappointment. I like DIY but this one isn't very practical for me. I do really like the fiesta party ideas though.

Well I got an email today stating I get an earlier box instead of October. I canceled and missed out on last months box and was upset so I resubbed. I am excited for this box. I don't think I will use the DIY book though.

When did you resub? I probably won't get this months box, but I'm still hoping! I subbed on the 11th.

I got an email today that I am going to get this box instead of starting again in October.  I'm not excited.  This box is overall kinda meh...

 

[jordiemac3]

Just received an email that I will be receiving this box early! While this box isn't a must have for me, I am still happy with it. Everything will go to use except for the diffusor (cats would knock that over) and will be gifted to my aunt who loves things like that. So happy! I also just subscribed to FabFitFun after hearing about the Gorjana Canary scarf that will be in it. Couldn't pass up that offer.

I'm currently stalking my email hoping I get this months box instead of starting in October... No such luck yet. :-(

I resubbed the end of August I believe.

I saw that and I am very tempted! What kinds of things usually come in her boxes? I love the scarf but have no idea of what else would be in it?

There have been only two prior boxes to this one coming out. Mostly it includes full size items, actually all items are full size. I remember getting Butter London polish, zoya polish, orly polish, Moroccan oil, pur lisse cleanser, sea salt spray, josie maran lip stain, between the two boxes. I can't remember on top of my head all the other stuff that was in it. If you do a google search there should be one box for spring and summer.

Ah snap, I gave in to temptations! Thanks, I'm pretty excited for the box, I love that scarf so it's definitely worth the 50.

I know...I am seriously irritated. I cancelled accidentally trying to update my cc info. I know...dumb! I emailed them right away and tried to resubscribe and even just minutes later, I got the October box. I told them I didn't want to miss a box and they said there was nothing they could do. Grrr...I would have really liked this box. I guess I'll try to send them an email and see if it will do any good.

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?

I had Glossybox (and PS) and I canned GB, so there ya go. Glossybox kept disappointing me month after month, and so much of what they sent was bizarre or useless to me.  WIth Popsugar, even if I can't use it directly, it goes into a stash of - nice for hostess or last minute b-day gifts, stocking stuffers, etc, so I don't mind too much.  Like, this month, I wouldn't use the paper coasters (won't protect my table), but I have a friend that LOVES vintage stuff, and they'll make an awesome pick-me-up for her on a random day.

I was underwhelmed again this month - I'm just trying to trade everything away, lol. I've paid for October, but I think after that I might be done...but then comes the December boxes which are always so exciting...and then boxes to celebrate spring...oh a vicious cycle! =)

Just placed my Shoptiques order - I was torn between the tapestry scarf (and spending extra $) or just staying within the card.  I ended up with the octopus necklace and octopus earrings. They were cute. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Also - you can get the $5 off if you share to FB - just set it to custom, only me, if you don't really want your purchase plastered all over. http://www.shoptiques.com/products/octopus-necklace-1

It's so cute!!!  There is a cute, affordable necklace I may pick up, but the chain is a bit long for me.  It seems like such a huge site, I am having trouble finding things.
