POPSUGAR Must Have Fall Limited Edition Box Spoilers!

Hi All–

I just got the box yesterday. I absolutely love the scarf. I guess I am a scarf person, but the color combination on this is amazing, and it is extremely soft and just lovely. I probably would never have purchased this scarf for its market price ($140), but I am so glad I have it now. It has a subtlety and wow factor, and it adds a pop of color to any outfit. I love it, and for that alone it makes the box worth it.

The hat is a very nice cable knit and cashmere, and I liked it as well. the lipstick is great quality and you only need a little to get some color. I love the cleanser! It’s got a really nice smell and got rid of all my makeup and left my skin feeling clean and soft. I’m not a big fan of fragrances in general.

Hope that helps you who were unhappy with this. I hope once you get it, you’ll feel a little differently.

Well I’m excited to receive this box. It doesn’t scream fall, and there’s nothing that knocks my socks off but I know I’ll get a lot of use out of everything. At first I thought e summer LE box was so miss but I ended up using the clutch and necklace all summer. I’m hoping I’m more wowed when I get the items in my hands, especially since the scarf matches my recent bag purchase.

I listed my entire box on ebay. This was a total miss for me. Neither the hat nor the scarf look right with my hair or skin color and the hat is made of wool which I am allergic to. I just didn’t get a fall vibe from this box at all. It felt very wintery to me and I’m really annoyed at getting two scarves from Popsugar in one month, especially since the one in the regular box seems more fall-y to me.

I LOVE this box!!!! I am a scarf collector and I love the hat as well! The other items are just a bonus! I can absolutely regift anything I don’t want but I have a feeling I am going to keep everything, right down to the gummies!

I was having a really hard time with this one. I was really thinking about getting it…. but I really wanted the Sept. Popsugar box. I wanted the scarf that was going to be in that box. I didn’t know which one to get. Then when I saw the $10.00 I decided to get this box. Well, it was sold out. So, I got the normal box instead. It worked out well. Don’t like this scarf as much. 🙂 though I am a bit surprised that there is a scarf in both of them.

I am part of the minority that is excited about this box. I absolutely love the scarf and the hat looks really cute too. I would never spend that much money on either one which is why I love that they are included in the box. I am picky about fragrance but the description sounds like I might actually like this one. To me the point is trying new things and getting items I normally wouldn’t splurge on. I can’t wait to receive it, it’s on its way!

I didn’t buy the fall box because I live in Southern California and figured it would have a Jolie cashmere hat or scarf (something i wouldn’t have much use for). But, the cobalt blue scarf is really pretty. I feel bad that some people are so disappointed. There are a lot of really nice items in this box. Maybe they could be swapped or sold on ebay if you feel like you didn’t get your money’s worth. Honestly, I think its a nice box and maybe you will feel different when you see the items in person.

I was so sure there was going to be a wallet/clutch 🙁 otherwise it is an okay box.

I am really surprised that so many people seem disappointed in this box. I usually buy 2 boxes so that I can use items as gifts. I know that I can usually get 5 or more items in these boxes to give to others. Even doing that with this box (less the low cost bag of candy) that makes each item only 20 dollars. I easily pay that for gifts or for my own purchases. The prices for my last purchases for items like the ones in this box:
Lipsticks $18 and $24.
Cologne $32, $54 and either $60 or $65.
Hat not as nice looking but my niece needed one $24.
Skin cleanser $27 and $34.
Finally the last scarf I purchased was a Liberty of London sent from England $$$ which I consider a lifetime purchase. I will be very happy with paying $20 for each item in this box.
Anything I do not want to keep or gift is donated to several battered women’s shelters or a teen foster home in my area. These women and young girls are always thrilled with the bags and boxes of new items I donate.

Ok, so I must be one of the few who really like this box also.

People I think we are forgetting the point of subscription boxes, and that’s to TRY NEW THINGS. Do you really want more of what you already have? Then go to the store and buy it!

Ok so my favorite items in this box, the perfume and face wash. I’m not sure where people are seeing the lap dance reference regarding the perfume, but if you go to the capsule parfumes website you’ll see that this was made in the US, in small batches, and they aim for unique fragrances (aka SOMETHING DIFFERENT). Description on the website reads as below:
“BYWAY is a sweet fragrance that’s both charming and playful. It’s a captivating balance of innocence and temptation. A sure crowd-pleaser for vanilla lovers.”
I’m sorry but who doesn’t like vanilla?? And if you don’t, try it anyways!

I’ve seen good reviews online for the face cleanser also, and I believe it’s SUPER important to have a good skincare regimen. Plus it’s all natural, what’s not to like?!?

The hat and scarf… well what do you expect in a fall limited edition box? While I don’t wear many of these items, I think they are super cute and will get me out of my comfort zone! Not to mention they are extremely expensive, and something a lot of people wouldn’t buy themselves, another good reason to like the box! These are luxury items, enjoy them and stop complaining.

While I agree there are a lot of lipsticks in subscription boxes, this one also has good reviews online, and I’m happy to see a makeup product at least!

Gummy bears are yummy and make me feel like a kid again. I don’t see the correlation with fall, but they will definitely get eaten!

Looks like the description of Byway was changed on their website. It now reads: “BYWAY is a sweet fragrance that’s both charming and playful. It’s a captivating balance of innocence and temptation. A sure crowd-pleaser for vanilla lovers.

Notes: crystal spun sugar, virgin roses, lilac-laced cotton candy, twilight jasmine, amber-hued petals, golden patchouli, amaranth wood, vamp essence”

Far cry from what it said earlier today!

Miss for me! This is too much of the same stuff that we receive in our monthly boxes–a scarf, a cleanser, a lipstick, candy. I like the hat and the perfume, but not enough to justify $100. I will be regifting the scarf.

I was really hoping for something fun and useful–a cute wristlet or coin purse, a designer pen, or designer umbrella (it hardly rains here, but when it does, i wish i had a cute one!).

Well, I was trying to reserve judgement until I received my box and I just picked it up from my mailbox. (I actually ordered two because I was so excited about the possibility of getting the stripped Joie scarf that people we’re guessing would be included in the box. Spoiler hint fail!)

The Good: the cleanser is huge and does indeed smell like strawberries, the gummies are shaped like heels and handbags – which are yummy and cute, the lipstick was the item I was most skeptical about and it’s actually a nice fall shade – I think it’s the ONLY fall thing in the box since the hat is a winter item for me.

The Bad: The hat – although it’s soft there is really nothing special about it. The hat is cute and very soft (although I’m not a knit cap/beanie type of girl, I have NEVER in my entire life been able to pull that look off, I do ear muffs instead) and I think the price is outrageous since I bought a cashmere sweater from J.Crew this morning for $99. The scarf – it’s super thin and has a like a tribal/floral pattern on it – this feels like a summer item to me…but IDK it would be cute with a black leather jacket, jeans and heels but it doesn’t feel like fall to me. The perfume is meh for me. It’s reminiscent of summer to me too simply because it’s so sweet. I’ve been using Chanel Chance, Marc Jacobs Daisy of Folle de Joie (thank you, Birchbox!!) lately and I prefer all 3 of those over this one.

Conclusion: I feel like I paid $100 for face wash, candy, lipstick and a scarf. The hat will be swapped because it’s simply too big on my head and looks ridiculous. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

Glad I passed!!!!!

I am disappointed by the spoilers, but hopefully will use everything when I have it in my hands. The limited edition boxes are an opportunity for special curation, and this just seems like the same caliber of items that are in the monthly boxes, but with a higher price tag. This was such a missed opportunity to include a makeup pallet instead of a lipstick, a handbag, wallet, jewelry or a fall food item other than gummies. This box just seems like it is missing the special-ness.

I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed in a Popsugar box (much less an LE box) before. I figured after the somewhat disappointing Summer and Resort boxes Popsugar would have heeded the negative feedback they got. There is not one item in this box that I like or would use. The real dig for me on this is that I actually bought 3 of these! THREE of them – one for me and the other two for a couple friends of mine as gifts.

But they won’t even work as gifts as I had planned. I don’t wear lipstick and, if we get the color pictured, it won’t work for gifting either. The perfume won’t work for me as most perfumes give me headaches and it won’t work for gifting since many people are very particular about perfume. The knit hat is ridiculous as the high price item in the box. The scarf looks ok, but we are getting the equivalent item in our September box. The cleanser is something my friends and I won’t use either since we use something else. So, I spent $300 on gummies (I actually hate gummies). I feel pretty screwed over by Popsugar right about now.

I know I sound super picky. But, I totally understand that not everyone is going to be happy with every item in the box. I’m usually ok with that. I figure as long as I can use about 1/2 the items and can gift the rest, then I have never complained. But in this case, the whole box is a waste (or in my case 3 whole boxes are a waste).

They also always do 7 items in a special edition, and this box has only 6. This box looks like a monthly box to me. It is really feeling like a rip off.

I’m excited about this box. I’ll definitely use the scarf and hat. Obviously I’ll eat any food that comes in subscription boxes. I always like to try out new cleansers-especially if it smells like strawberries. I’ll have to see what shade of lipstick I get-this one I may not use. I’m just a bit worried to find out what an unforgettable lap dance smells like :/ All in all the hat, scarf, and cleanser justify the price for me!

Thank you for posting these! I feel much better about not ordering this. Not a bad box, but definitely not something I’m going to regret not getting. Haven’t been in love with a LE box in quite some time. Unfortunate because they were such fun!

This is definitely my last LE box. I didn’t like the last two, and I keep thinking the next one will be great. After the crushing disappointment of the Summer box, this really seals it for me. But I’m happy for anybody that likes it!

Ugh, I am really disappointed with this box. I have a million scarves and feel that the value on this one item is just too high. I would rather have had more items instead. The hat is not my style and again, too pricey. And I’m surprised the rest is beauty items. I’m going to see about just selling the entire box for what I paid for it.

I have to say I’m torn about this box, since I’m a little underwelmed by the spoilers. I’m hoping I will feel differently when I have the items in hand. I was really hoping for the gloves or scarf pictures in the spoiler hint. Gummies and red lipstick just don’t screen Limited edition to me. I would have preferred to see another jewelry item, a bracelet or even another necklace. Or even a nice ring. This is only my second LE box, I got the summer one too and both have yet to wow me. I think I’ll give the LE box one more go, for the winter/Christmas one if they have one and if I’m not wowed then I’ll call it quits on their LE. I’m really looking forward to the regular sept box. I bought multiples so I think they’ll be more bang for my buck in that box!! Fingers crossed anyways.

Can’t fully be mad at popsugar, they don’t force us to buy and with all mystery/sub boxes it’s a gamble… Those who aren’t comfortable riskig 100 then don’t. The scarf is already worth more than the cost of the box, if the quality is there then I’ve justified my cost. I won’t lie I was expecting more, but I took a risk and I’m not angry about it, I’m excited to have them in hand.

Well, sounds like I’m in the minority – but I love this box! I just hope it cools down quick because I’m excited to wear that great hat 🙂 Knit hats come in handy in New England! Cleanser sounds awesome, the lipstick is pretty, and the scarf is great (I’m sure not disappointed that we’re getting one in the September box too…can you really have too many fashion scarves?!) The lap dance thing on the perfume made me chuckle, but I liked the description of the scent, so we’ll see how it smells and I’ll make my call then! All in all, I’m excited. Well worth my $100 for the hat and scarf alone…

“BYWAY is a sweet fragrance inspired by an unforgettable lap dance. ” WTF????

Wow. . I’m really surprised to see how many people are disappointed with this box. I’m definitely not thrilled about getting gummy bears in a $100 box and though the scarf seems pretty, we’re getting one (that I think I like better) in the regular monthly box.

I’m mostly excited for the Joie knit cap, it’s luxurious and stylish. I’ve used Indie Lee products before and highly recommend them, so I’m glad for the opportunity to try the cleanser. I have a zillion red lipsticks, but always love trying out a new brand so I’m looking forward to getting it.

When I order a mystery box, I do it with the understanding that I’m taking a risk and that it might include some things I can’t use or just don’t like. That being said, this will probably be my last SE box. I just haven’t been ‘wowed’ by the last three.
