I just got my box

maiyet poison dart earrings 395.00
anna sui lipstick $30 colors vary
marc by marc jacobs logo bangle $80 (runs small :o()
milly nail polish set $36 3 colors
the woman I wanted to be by Diane von Furstenberg $28.
apolis+claire v. market bag $68.00 burlap with leather straps merci beau coup on front

I was disappointed that the major value was the stud earrings that are not all that impressive. Gold plated brass for $395.00?? I was really hoping for more balanced fashion…sunglasses…purse….something…

Tamara

Nope. Changed my mind. I don’t need to see pics to know that I am seriously disappointed.
I hate stud earrings.
I’m super picky about my lipsticks and I was hardly looking for beauty products from this box.
I don’t like jewelry that feature logos AND I have larger hands and wrists so the bangle may not even for.
I don’t wear nail polish.
I love DVF’s style but have no real interest in reading a book she wrote.
A burlap bag does not sound appealing.

I have a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Deborah

I am a little disappointed as well. I can use the burlap sack for grocery shopping or as a pool tote. I really was expecting more, but the part everyone forgets is the charity/proceeds. The earrings are listed on the website as being worth 295.00 not 395.00.. The book, sorry but I’m 55 and just not interested in what DVF wanted to be…Maybe one of her potential interns care. I think Popsugar missed the mark on this one. I’m disappointed and haven’t even received my box yet. I will however order the Special Edition summer box, but probably will cancel after that. I can only take so many bottles of nail polish. Love Popsugar, just so disappointed with a box that I haven’t even received yet.

Deborah

Sounds awful….

Kelly

Good point re. earrings, at least luxor box were sterling under gold for earrings.

Kelly

Wow, thanks for post, I won’t use a thing, I will list on swaps asap or sell for cost, no shipping. Bummer, ah well gamble of sub boxes, ; 0)

Loanne

Thanks for sharing…. but seriously, that’s it? Wow.

lily

Thank you for sharing, I wanted to get this box, missed out because I was busy that day, glad I skipped it, I can not wear earrings and would have been irritated if I got this box. I thought that there would be more fashion items in this. This box is making me reluctant to get the next Popsugar LE that is out in a few days.

Tamara

Two thirds of the value is taken up by ONE item?? Oh NO… and I hate stud earrings. And what about the people who can’t wear earrings? I’m feeling pretty disappointed right now. But I’ll wait to see pictures before I decide.

Melanie

Thanks for sharing. I have to agree about the earrings.

Regan

My box is out for delivery!!!!!!

Loanne

Omg! What city are you in? I’m in Orange County but my package tracking info still says “departed Sacramento facility”. Excited for you!

Regan

I’m in the Bay Area just a little south of SF.

Claudia

Mine says exactly the same. My delivery date has also changes, twice! First it was the 19th, then the 20th, now it’s a 21st!? Aggravating but at least I know someone here will have received and posted the box contents by then. I’m amazed by the people who say they don’t want the surprise spoiled. That’s your prerogative, but if that’s truly your desire simply don’t read people’s posts until your comes!

Cloud

I’m so excited for you! I hope you’ll share what you received!

Claudia

I’m hoping whomever gets the box first posts the contents? Can we post photos in these discussion lifts or just links? I’m in the east coast so my anticipated date of arrival is 5/20. I’m really hoping to see what the contents are so I can decide whether or not to spring for the upcoming SE. It’s funny, I feel like my monthly boxes ship from somewhere nearby in NYS, but I might be thinking if another sub. Anyway, I’m excited to see what’s coming!!

Deborah

I think everyone got the same estimated arrival date of the 20th, I’m in Texas.. At this point, I don’t want to see a spoiler, I want complete surprise….well maybe one spoiler LOL,,just one.

Liz Cadman

If anyone wants to send me photos of their box when the receive it – please do! 🙂

dfgraber

My delivery date is the 20th too. I am in Indiana. Takes forever for my boxes to get out of California.

Kelly

My tracking says it will take 11 days from 300 miles away in Sacramento? ? Are they walking the box here?

Cindy

I live in Los Angeles too. got tracking on 5/8 and my delivery date is 5/18. I dont know why it would more than a week to ship within the same state!

Cay

It should update for you to Monday. Mine intially said 5/18 and then changed. I live in Southern CA. 🙂

Kelly

Thank you, I am in Los Angeles, so fingers crossed.

Cay

Got tracking..delivery date Monday 5/11. I’m so curious 5.3 pounds . I’m scared and excited $195 is a lot for me.

Tamara

LUCKY!! 😀

Tamara

My estimated delivery date is 5/20! Omg, that is way too far away! ::dies::

Cay

Hi Tamara..any chance you are on Sephora Beauty Talk also? A really nice Tamara on thier also 🙂

Tamara

Hi Cay,
As a matter of fact, I AM on Beauty Talk! But my screen name isn’t Tamara. It’s kittichick.

Kristin

Mine says 5/21! I can’t imagine it taking that long to get here if it’s already in transit as the FedEx site says. Hopefully it will arrive (please, please, please!) by the end of next week!! 😀

Cay

Hey Kristen, it shouldn’t take that long. Fedex Smartpost always over estimates and then updates. Hope you get your box soon 🙂

mamo

I got my tracking too!! Omg, I dont think I am going to sleep tonight. Oh if only it didnt take forever for me to get my box. It seriously takes a 2 week cruise to Maui and during that time there are no shipping updates. You have no idea the kind of patience and thought stopping I have to do!

Nikii

Omg… I’m so excited. My first real limited edition box (fancy one anyhow haha) says it’ll arrive on 14 th. Which is awesome, but also REALLY weird. As it is coming from only a couple hours away. I could technically walk to Watsonville quicker. But definitely not complaining. So stoked it’ll get here quicker than expected. Especially as my past two annual subscriptions have taken FOREVER. Fff and now ouiplease.

Regan

Mine says the same! All the popsugar boxes go from Watsonville to Sacramento and then back to the Bay Area post offices. It’s so dumb! I would guess on past experience they will come Tuesday

Nikii

Ohhh I so hope so. Tuesday would be perfect… Haha I am just stoked that it is coming this week.

Tamara

I got my tracking number too! Eeeeeee!! XD I really wasn’t expecting it that fast. 😀

Melanie

I got mine too. It’s 5.3 pounds of- I can’t wait to see what. It shows an estimated delivery date of 5-19. UGH!

Loanne

Just got my CFDA tracking #!!! So excited!

Kristin

I got mine as well! Can’t wait to see what’s in this box!!

Jennifer

Just got my shipping confirmation email!!

Regan

Me too! 5.3 lbs and I live about 2 hours from where they ship so hopefully early next week arrival!

Cindy

I just got a shipping notice. I thought they are shipping on 5/15. No movement yet. But I should be getting it early next week since I live in CA. yay!!

Tamara

I am positively dying for spoilers – I swear my head is going to explode!

I have kind of high hopes for this box since they advertised the heck out of it. My hope is they did that, at least in part, because it’s a great box and will gain them more subscribers.

AmyM

Same here!! I MUST know what’s in this box. GAH!

Kelly

I wonder if Mara Hoffman item will be in box, she was featured at CFDA POPSUGAR party in Coachella.

Deborah

If there is a Mara Hoffman product it will either be a pillow, weekender tote or a makeup pouch. I looked at the Mara Hoffman site and that looks about all they could add since Popsugar does not do the clothing thing. I’m really hoping for a nice backpack.

Kelly

Sorry for duplicate comment.:0)

Mary

My status for my CFDA box has gone from TBD to Processing! I hope this means they are shipping soon!

Emmy

Wow…. I’m pissed. PopSugar sends me tons of emails all the time, as I’ve been a subscriber for a while and always get the SE boxes….. but I never received an email that this box had been released. I’m kind of thinking of canceling my subscription. The last SE box that I spent $100 on…. I didn’t keep any of it. All of it has been swapped, or is listed to swap. They’re really starting to go downhill. Spam customers with bullshit emails, but not the emails they’ve requested. smh. Anyone have suggestions on a decent box where customers don’t get screwed over?

Anna

If anybody wants to sell there box I will buy it! it sold out before I could but it. I’ve been waiting for weeks 🙁 [email protected]

Anyone looking to sell as well? mojojosung / gmail

holly strother

I really wanted this box but it’s sold out. Does anyone want to sell their box??

Deborah

Sorry Boo! Maybe Popsugar will have a giveaway like they did for the Target Box. Stay tuned, you never know.

Jessica

I took the plunge yesterday. I hope it’s worth it! So much money!!

Suz

I would really love (just out of curiosity) to know how many boxes they had to sell. 1000? 5000? I asked on Facebook and no answer…..

Jennifer

Liz
Can we assume no spoilers if its sold out??
Thanks,

jenn

Liz Cadman

That would be my guess. Typically POPSUGAR only does spoilers when there is still stock of the box. In this case I’m not sure if there was planned press with any of the designers included though. Fingers crossed for a spoiler! 🙂

Jennifer

I asked on FB about spoilers…and this was the response…
PopSugar Must Have -“We don’t want to ruin the surprise!”
So looks like not 🙁
This is going to be a LONG month!

Danielle

I was interested in this box, but just couldn’t order it without any spoilers. It sounds like it might be really great, but PopSugar is so hit or miss with me, so I didn’t want to risk it.

lisad

Sorry I don’t get this was at work and couldn’t order. it’s a lot of money but I hope everyone who did get one enjoys it!

Anne Shaw

Bummer! or maybe its a good thing – sold out so fast! I got to move faster on these special boxes!
