POPSUGAR Must Have Summer Edition Box Spoilers!

How do you get involved in the swap of items?

I just opened my LE box and immediately put on my Tarte lip pigment and cheek stain. I got them in the color Tipsy and I love them! Unfortunately, that’s about it. I will give the rest of the products to friends and family as gifts. Hopefully, I will get to swap some products with all you pretty ladies in the near future.

Well finally back from vacation and received my box I must say I am highly disappointed… This necklace is just awful and gaudy, the bag is cute but not sure when I will ever use it, the glasses are nothing special and hand wash only…the hair spray will never happen since I have so much hair, and the olive oil is ok I guess nothing special either least I know it will get used the most exciting thing was the stuff From tarte and the lip stuff was melted and all messed up so fail popsugar… This is my last se box ever I was hoping after the mediocre one they had last time they would of done better but I feel like I just wasted my money… So much for this being a great graduation gift

It always strikes me funny about these boxes that one person’s treasure is another person’s garbage. Say, the lipstick/stain stick. I got Tipsy and liked the color but when I tried it on I looked like a clown. I have another tarte lip stick and I like it, there is just something in this color pigment. This has to go in the trash because I tried it. something about the texture and color looks like it has a black light on it after applied. And too creamy.
Ok so on with the rest of the box.
I have noticed a theme with the LE boxes. The bag is gorgeous and love the size, HOWEVER, when I started looking closer the horror started to hit. I started seeing flaws in the material on the side of the picture. Grrrrrrrrr If I paid $50 back it would go. hmmm once again an item with flaws in the material (the bad bad clutch from resort box). And now i’m thinking about winter LE box with the cowl. I received the white cowl and valued about $50-60. The material was nice…….but……clearly a strip of material was cut and sewn together and waalaaaaa a cowl. No seaming around the edges. The reason I mention this now is the material in my cowl was also flawed. I now believe that many things made for PS are done with cheap material and lousy craftsmanship, and maybe not what the companies would normally sell retail, I don’t know because I’ll never buy from them.

Glad there is olive oil, and just hope it is good. The glasses aren’t that bad. I can see where someone would think they look like dollar store glasses, but only if they were in plastic. They are “ok” and I am “ok” with them and will use them (but not happy you can’t put in dishwasher……another point off the box).
I’m hoping the hair spray will be fine.
Ok, the big ticket item. It’s really not THAT bad. I did get the turquoise.
It looks like something you would buy at Pier One. A lot of people are saying “nothing I would buy”. I agree. And it’s not because of the money. They are showing Kim Kardashian wearing it in green I think. It is sooo hard to believe she would wear the necklace I received, so wondering again if the ones for PS were made fast and cheap.
All and all I would have been very satisfied with this box, however everything to me is in the details and that’s where PS is a big letdown.

I am going to try as hard as I can to never buy another PS LE box, or sub again.

Someone asked where the Hawaii theme is? On my bag, on the other side of the picture it has three words across. Love Love Aloha
There you go…..

This is my first Popsugar Limited edition, my first popsugar in general.
and although I’m not blown away by every item in this box, i still think its a nice one. When you think about it, the two tart items cost 58 so everything else doesnt seem too bad having spent 100. I try to justify it that way. lol
I received the white necklace,I agree its not as charming as the other colors, mine kinda looks like its falling apart in one area. and Even though i would’ve preferred another color this is still not a item i would have purchased myself, so for that reason alone i’m glad i bought this box!

Right now I’m playing hit or miss with alot of sub boxes, hopefully i have more hits than misses. I’m looking forward to my first Nina Garcia box, hope they ship it soon. 🙂

I hope I get accepted into the swap group soon, I’m dying to get rid of the necklace and the cheek stain…the only thing I really want to keep is the bag. Super disappointed.

wow, disappointed. This was my first limited edition box and I feel so let down! I got tart in exposed, which i think is probably good for me. All i ever wear are bright lip colors…so this is a nice day to day. Oh and that necklace! Psh. I subscribe to Bijoux Box and I think their quality is way higher. Seriously, this thing feels so cheap. I’m seriously hoping my first ever Nine Garcia box is amazing to make up for this. So disappointed I dropped $100 on this, that could have bought me some nice denim on sale at Saks.

I’m seriously underwhelmed by the last two special edition boxes. I ended up with the white necklace, which is, sadly, even less attractive in person than it is on the company’s website. There are about five other colors, and they ALL look significantly better than the white. (From the photos, anyway.)

The glasses are not something I would ever use to serve guests. The design is so cheap and tacky-looking, I would almost expect them to be made of plastic. I wear a night guard, and I clean it by putting it in a glass with Polident. I think these glasses would be suitable for this task.

The pouch is very cute, and I’m looking forward to trying the olive oil. I ended up with the Tarte makeup in coral, and I don’t think that color will work for me. I may try it, though.

For those of you considering ditching PS in favor of Nina Garcia, go for it. Her boxes are great. Even her first one, which had a punk-rock theme (really not for me) was impressive in its quality.

Wow I am flabbergasted almost speechless about the necklace in white business. Really? They should all be turquoise. The inspiration pictures show quite a bit of turquoise. Many turquoise rings, necklaces, loose stones…they did everything but have a big banner that said IF YOU BUY THIS BOX YOU WILL GET TURQUOISE. There was also a lot of flowing hair and drink
(Cocktail) related things so not surprised at glasses and hair spray.
I know this is going to sound bad, but after all turquoise pictures, every box should have turquoise IMO. I am really disappointed in PS but almost seems like a cheap trick to show turquoise pics and then people get boxes without.
To me it makes all the difference in a good and bad box. (I looked at white necklace and do not like – a matter of taste) I made such a big deal about the bag in the resort box looking dirty and used they sent me a new one. I’m not so sure if I get a white necklace they will trade.

I’m extremely disappointed. After seeing last summer’s box I had high hopes and boy did this not hit hit the mark. I was honestly embarrassed to open this in front of my husband, yep I paid $100 for this stuff I have no interest in. This was my first LE box and my last. I’m actually regretting referring friends to PS now. The white necklace is certainly something I would never buy never mind spend $150 on, sunglasses would gave been better. PS is making me rethink sub boxes.

This is my first SE POPSUGAR box. (I have been subscribing to the regular box for three months now.) The only reason I was able to get it was some extra birthday money. That being said, I received mine today and really liked it. The glasses are heavy and substantial, not to mention unique. The pouch is nice, well made, and a good size for a beach bag or packing. I received the turquoise horn necklace. It is something I would never buy on my own, but I love it. The color is perfect and will look great with my regular blue/green wardrobe. I haven’t tried anything else in the box. Overall, I really like the box and am glad I was enabled by all of y’all.

This was my first Special Edition box and I’m pretty disappointed. I received the white horn necklace and can’t believe it was the high price item. I will never wear it nor gift it to a friend. I just started swapping and hopefully someone makes an offer. I like the cheek stain, olive oil, and lipstick. I already have a full bottle of hair salt spray, can make use of the glasses, and don’t need the pouch (it is cute though). I will stick with the monthly PSMH box .

I am so disappointed and PO’d!!! I e-mailed them because I feel ripped off. The necklace is hideous with several defects. I have it in white, and felt the turquoise would have made up for the tacky/cheap item that is over-valued – really? $155? Mine looks like it’s $8.00! I am never getting a Special Edition box from Popsugar ever again.

I received my box the other day, and am on the fence. If it were a normal monthly box I would be super happy, but $100 later, I wanted more excitement, especially since it’s my first LE. The worth is definitely there, but there are a few things I don’t understand. I love the pouch, salt spray, and tarte products, but am confused with the olive oil, which was leaking along with the salt spray :/ the glasses are a nice shape and weight, but the print makes it feel so young. The necklace is gorgeous, but much larger than I expected. I’m feeling so-so about this box.

I thought the theme was supposed to be Hawaii inspired? OLIVE OIL?! 🙁

Can anyone explain why my box departed Sacramento, CA on the 31st why it’s not going to be here until next wee?

It was initiated the day before
Was hoping to pick it up tomorrow

I AM VERY EXCITED FOR THIS BOX. I’m from CA so this box speaks to beach culture. I am going to keep everything, unless my necklace comes in any color than turquoise.

I won’t get mine until next week, if I don’t get it turquoise- anyone willing to trade for a turquoise one?

Got my box today! I actually love the horn necklace (turquoise) and everything else, too. Only thing I’d like to swap if anyone is interested is the city rocks glasses (London, SF, LA, NY). They’re cute but I’m just not into them.

Just wanted to give anybody who follows the makeup talk site a heads up that under PS June box spoilers they have the box pictures posted. Liz, I don’t know how to message you if there is some way you can post it here. I think the box looks great, perfect summer fun!

I am very thankful for the spoilers. I didn’t buy this box and I usually love the Limited Editions…I don’t love this one and I’m so glad I saved my $100. I actually the regular boxes better than these! Seriously!

I was very excited for the Tarte products, then I realized they are both CORAL! Seriously PS? Ugh. Super disappointed. Will prob trade most if not all of this box

On first sight of the spoilers, I thought, ughhh, let down. But, the more I look at at other people’s photo posts, the more I’m digging it. 🙂

Very disappointed. Not sure I’m keeping any of it. Sorry to be negative, but those glasses look like they could come from a thrift store and are the last thing I’d want in a box. I’m bummed out. This was my first LE box and likely my last. Sigh…

I’m so happy I didn’t splurge on this one. I was so disappointed with the resort box and I was afraid this box would be everything the resort box wasn’t. I’m dying for a pair of sunglasses and I thought for sure, this box would have them. I think I’ll save my splurges for Nina Garcia. I was stoked to get the special 25% off the FFF VIP Box for MSA readers and I feel like $37 for $225 is a much better deal. Thanks for the discount code, btw!

WOW, I just LOVE those glasses! Being an LA girl, I LOVE, LOVE THEM! (I need to get more of them.)
