POPSUGAR Summer Special Edition Box Available Now!

So I just saw spoilers on another site from someone who already received it, and I am SOOO excited for this!! It looks like an amazing box, I am so happy that I found this site and decided to jump in with the Summer LE!

I received an email that my LE had already shipped! I know it said June 15th originally, is it normal for them to send them out so much earlier? This will be my first one, and I am somewhat nervous, although hoping this will be a great surprise!

Mine shipped. Cannot wait.

I have lived Popsugar since the first box I received back in December. I also mused out in the resort box, was disappointed when I saw the contents (that I missed getting it!) and as a result did order the infamous CFDA box. I’m simply disappointed because I feel that we mislead as far as what the box would contain. The items in the actual box are lovely, they’re just not what everyone was expecting. It’s just disappointing because I for I’ve would probably have ordered it anyway had I known what to expect. I, btw, still have not received my box.

I wanted to get this one but I’ve been so busy this week and when I remembered to look at it today it was sold out. I got the resort box and loved it. I passed on the CFDA box and was so happy to dodge that bullet! I’m also getting the Kloverbox/MSA summer box plus the Zoe box of style so I really didn’t need this one too lol

Passing on this box. My subscription addiction has seriously waned down after the CFDA situation. And I’m not wowed by any of the special edition, I think I might go back to shopping for myself. Half time. Lol

I received the CFDA box a few days ago and I knew it was a risk, but half of the profit goes to the foundation to support emerging designers. Having seen and touched everything makes a difference. You may want to check out some of the stuff before you send it back. I honestly debated returning it after finding out I could, but I like enough items keep it. The earrings are substantial and since I own very little gold jewelry, they will be perfect with my bracelet from the Rachel Zoe box. I love the bag (which also supports a charity) and will use it for years. It’s extremely sturdy and lined. Where I live, we are charged for grocery bags if we don’t bring our own. The book can be a beach read and then I can donate it, I’m not a labely kind of person, so the Marc Jacobs bracelet isn’t my thing, plus it’s way to big for me, so I’ll trade it or gift it. The lipstick packaging is amazing, but the color isn’t for me, so that will be swapped.

Buying the LE boxes is definitely risky, but I can usually swap what I don’t like. As for the regular must have box, they sent a string of disappointing boxes for awhile, but the last few months have been great. I’ve been subscribing since late 2013. I loved every single item from the May box and will definitely renew my subscription in June.

With all of the complaints about the quality of the PopSugar boxes, I’m really surprised this one sold out so quickly. And totally disappointed, because I couldn’t order yesterday and was really looking forward to it. I love the Summer boxes. Oh, well. Guess I saved $100.

SOLD OUT

So, I can buy this, or I can put my $100 towards 2.5 months of regular Popsugar. Its a no-brainer for me. When I look at the last LE box (the resort box – I am pretending the CFDA box never happened) and compare it’s contents to the last 3 regular monthly boxes, there is no question that I would much rather spend my money on the regular boxes. I think that is my problem with the LE boxes; I wish they would approach the curation the same as the monthly boxes and just give me 2.5x the stuff! To me it never feels THAT much better than the $40 box. Its often the same quantity of items and the same types of items, they just have a higher retail value, which usually doesn’t mean diddly to me, a costume necklace at $150 is not significantly more exciting than a costume necklace at $20 (to me that is). I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue with the quality of the items in a monthly Popsugar box, so just give me a bunch more of those types of goodies! THAT would be a special edition!

Is it common for the se boxes to still be available a day later?

Maybe the summer box will be amazing…to make up for the CFDA box? I can honestly say, this time I did not order the special edition box. I ordered the resort one, and loved it, but have looked at past summer boxes and it just wasn’t for me (and I love summer). For those that ordered, I hope it is everything you want/expect.

While I think this will be a good box, had to pass on it. I just couldn’t take the chance on a high-ticket item being a bottle of serum. I honestly have enough serum from sub boxes that I could slather it over my entire body every day for two years and still not run out…

Well once I heard that they allowed people to return the CFDA box, but were adamant that they wouldn’t do the same after the massive unhappiness the cheaper at Neiman-Marcus LE box caused this past winter, I knew I was for sure done with PopSugar! Boo!

I got it, but I also got the MSA Kloverbox LE Box.
June will be an interesting month! I think I know which one I’ll like more!! 😉

I love summer boxes and really liked the resort limited edition box so this was an easy decision for me. 🙂

I ordered it today. I’m pretty curious about the Special Edition boxes, mainly because I just started my regular P.S. subscription with the April Box. I have an older sister and some friends that I can regift anything that doesn’t “ring my chimes” from any of the boxes. I do love the fun of opening up the boxes in general. It’s kind of like Christmas morning, except that I need to refrain from checking out the spoilers in the future, of course! 😉

I purchased the CFDA box and this one. While I’m not thrilled with the shadiness that has occurred with the CFDA box, I’m reserving full judgement until I receive the box next week. I went ahead and purchased this one because I really loved the resort box and last year’s Summer box. I do think the retail values of items are inflated but that occurs with a lot of subs. When I actually went back and looked at the items and what I would be willing to pay for them I still came out ahead. And whatever I don’t want usually gets snatched up off the swap site fairly quickly 🙂 Thankfully I can wear all jewelry and love both silver and gold. I’m addicted to scarves and clutches and candles. I guess PS is just my jam!

Thank you PSMH! I have enjoyed each and every box , monthly and L.E., that I have ever received including CFDA. There are times that items fit me to a T, other times, your boxes have exposed me to items that I never knew existed, only to find new favorites. I also purchase boxes to experience the experience of subscription boxes. Sometimes, I use items as gifts, other times for swap fodder. All of it I receive with gratitude and thankfulness. Just wanted to say I was singin in the rain of the unhappy mob.

I cant seem to get myself to buy this box. I keep looking at the website, yet the more I think about the CFDA box, even though they are offering refunds, the more I don’t want to take the chance. The resort box was wonderful, I ended up swapping some of the items in it, for items I really wanted so it the box was a win for me. Yet because this box was planned around the same time as the CFDA box, I find myself wondering about the curation, and if I ordered it If I’d get stuck with earrings I can not wear, or a gold tone necklace I wont wear, or some other that makes up the majority of the value —– Hope that this will be a wonderful box for everyone that orders it

Thank you SO much Amy!

I find it curious that even after the CFDA box unhappiness, people are willing to spend more money with PopSugar. Yes, they are offering returns after receiving a ton of backlash. But they still made a ton of money and really have no reason to be accountable to their customers as long as people “have no self-control” and keep doing business with them. I personally have never bought anything from them.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…
Good luck, ladies.

I figured by the time I got off work this would be sold out but it wasn’t! I guess the ad CFDA box is really discouraging people, but I hope this is a good one! That’s the chance we take with sub boxes. I look at it like going to the casino but better even if I get something bad I can usually swap for something I want!!!!

I bought one. I didn’t get the CFDA box because I assumed it would be a bust but I loved the Resort box and adore my monthly boxes.

I too stalked the website! I have loved all the LE edition boxes (I didn’t order the CFDA one) and I really enjoy the monthly boxes……….so easy choice for me. Of course I might not feel that way if I ordered the CFDA box
