This box was just OK for me. The sponge smells way too strong, but I’m intrigued by the foot therapy and water. The bracelets are cute. Haven’t tried the yoga mat yet, but I already have two and this one seems pretty thin. Maybe it won’t slide like my others. I’m super bummed the mascara wasn’t included. I emailed them, but probably won’t get one. I canceled after a year and a half of getting it mostly to save money.

I just got my box today, it’s the last in my 6 month deal and I’m not renewing. The boxes are generally not for me and the last couple I’ve been trying to swap nearly everything from them. I think the yoga mat smells really weird and plastic-y. The bracelets are cute, but apparently to small for my giant wrists. I’m most excited about the foot mask lol and the Spongelle body buffer. I heard most people didn’t like the one from the last Boxycharm box though, they said it smelled really weird. This box just felt pretty random to me. I hate the smell of the “facial mist”, I’m not a fan of eucalyptus. I’ve gotten a sample Jimmybar in a Love With Food box before, it was ok, tons of sugar for a small bar. The Hint Kick flavor I got was Lemon and Cayenne, sounds awful, giving it to my bf to drink lol.

This is the last box from my 6 month subscription and this box really doesn’t suit me. I’ve had enough disappointments in this box that I won’t be renewing unless I see another great deal or a spectacular box reveal. Although I anticipate receiving it each month (and I don’t look at the spoilers if subscribed), I haven’t been consistently wowed by the box. So the value isn’t there at the full price.
That being said, I wonder when the June spoilers will start!

Got mine and enjoyed the box. I avoided this spoiler. I like that they spray is usa made and simple ingredient. The theme works for me. I already have a travel yoga mat but I love the fold up idea. It is great for traveling and doing in hotel room or anywhere on the go. I always get so tight when traveling. I am excited to try the sponge which I would never buy but nice to have. For the price I am happy.

Got my box today, but so disappointed with the yoga mat! It’s so thin that my sweatpant material is thicker! Won’t work very well on hardwood floors. The bracelet is actually really adorable. Everything else is just blah….

For the third month in a row, I’m not thrilled. The bracelets aren’t my taste and don’t seem like their worth their suggested retail value at all, I have a nicer yoga mat already, I don’t need the Happy Spritz spray, and the mascara gets bad reviews. I’ll use the body buffer and the foot treatment, but they don’t even cover the cost of the box and I wouldn’t pay full retail value for either one.
I’ve been with PopSugar for a year, but I may have to cancel.

I absolutely loved this box. I especially love the spray. I’m putting it in my gym bag and giving my self a squirt of it before going into the dry sauna. Love it, love it, love it. I agree not every box is perfect – I don’t like getting books at all – but at least they are pretty books and make great coffee table books. Popsugar always includes products that I would like to purchase for myself but never do. I love this box, and the mini too!

One thing that ppl are using yoga mats for is interchanging them for blankets at festivals, etc! That way you are sitting on a much more comfortable place than a thin blanket!

This is the worst box yet, every single item sucks, had so many issues with this company I have canceled my sub and will not be getting another box once my 6 months are up, so annoyed that I wasted so much money, I will be giving away every single item in this box worst items so far

My tracking info has been stuck on “label created” since Thursday- only a couple days but makes me nervous because the last time this happened (with FFF) I never got the original box. They sent me a replacement but the whole ordeal took like a month. Hope it updates soon.

ditto. i hate lazy tracking ugh.

Love everything in it! I needed a travel yoga mat and this is perfect! Although I must admit I was expecting something more fitnessy. The body buffer and foot items are perfect for summer skin prep. I hope June contains a nice SPF product.

I just signed up based on these spoilers. I have been in great need of a new yoga mat, so I took this as a sign! I’ll use everything else except the mascara and the caffeine water because I hate the taste of caffeine (it’s bitter, so unless it’s in coffee, it doesn’t seem right). I used the code MAY5 for $5 off.

I am actually excited about this box!! I JUST did the Foot Therapy and that was crazy cool . It took awhile before the peeling happened but once it did the skin was extremely soft . I also have been looking to add another yoga mat to my collection so this fits in just perfectly! I skipped last month’s box bc I have no desire for another book yet alone from Chrissy Tiegan (I’m not a fan). This box I’m extremely happy about!!!

I’ve seen mention of some foot peels taking off polish. Did this one remove/damage your polish? Thanks!

I have a feeling that PopSugar aims towards a specific demographics because I have never ever ever hated a box, I literally have every single thing and never gave anything away. Everytime I see these spoilers, I always can’t believe how perfectly they just get me…I’m wondering if the people who are consistently disappointed just don’t fit into their target demographic.

I SO agree with this! I’m 22 years old and also in grad school, and I have loved every box! I think they’ve been curated perfectly, well for me at least lol. Especially last month’s, all the kitchen items were perfect for me since I just moved into a new apartment!
Reply
Nicole
Yes!!! Me to too, I noticed they always send me stuff when I actually need it. The kitchen theme is awesome to those of us just starting out.

Nicole,
You have literally taken the words right out of my mouth – I’ve been dying to say this for the longest time!! I completely 100% agree with this. Curious – what’s your demo?

Nicole
I’m glad I’m not alone on this thought! I’m a 25 year old newlywed from NY. I don’t have any kids, and I am pursuing a graduate degree. What about you?

I’m excited to get this box! Lots of elevated versions of useful, everyday items, which is exactly what I look for in a PS box. I think people get sometimes get hung up an item’s intended use and can’t see beyond it. Like the yoga mat, for example. It doesn’t have to be *for* yoga. You can use it as a general exercise mat, something to kneel on while gardening, a play mat for your kids…free your mind! lol I’m always improvising with things I get in boxes. Have fun with it! That’s the whole idea.

I agree, it can have other uses, but the yoga mat smells really weird to me. I could smell it from the outside of the box. I wouldn’t want to put my baby on it, or kneel on it for an extended period of time.

Cece
yeah but the problem is i already own a yoga mat :p and most of the rest of the stuff just doesn’t really appeal to me. the yoga mat looks nicer than mine though so i might change my mind about that part!

I LOVE this!! Sure, I won’t use every single item, but I’m loving the theme and I’m super excited about several of the items! Way to go, PSMH!

I think it would be more of a hit with people if we were given the option of substituting 3 items per box with other items in order to make this more likeable. But that’s just me.
Reply
Cece
that would be a nice idea! i think they would lose less subscribers that way. but they might have overstock of random items…which means duplicates maybe? idk. i have no idea how that all works lol. but i like your idea!

I’ve subscribed to Popsugar for almost 2 years. I’ve tried the mini for 2 months. I love their boxes and they’re packaged very well. I think I’ll give them a break though. The same type of products are cycling through. I’m with the others who will see what each month has to offer before deciding.

I’m actually really excited for everything but the breathe deeply spray (I have no idea how to use it) and the water (I’m not sure if I’ll like the flavor, I’ve seen mixed reviews). I have really enjoyed these past 6 months and I will definitely resubscribe if there is another deal. I just can’t afford $40 a month.
Reply
Kathy
I just cancelled. If I can get a great deal on a subscription package I will do it again, but 40$ is a lot when I will only use one product. I also dumped the mini also. I really want beauty products so I will stick with my others for now. Good think is the box never sells out so I can add it when I want and not worry!

I’m probably the only one who is NOT happy with this box at all! Hope they realize not everybody does yoga. And the rest of the items are just Meh

Agreed the things that attracted me to this box in the first place are no longer the items they send,

I feel exactly the same. I’ve been getting popsugar for about 3 years – at least – and I’m just done. This box was awful. Anyone who does yoga (like I do, not very often) has a yoga mat. And peppermint spray? I swear I could just go to TJ Maxx and find all this stuff. Popsugar just ruined my Saturday night – I waited all day to open my box and ughhhhhh. I’d like to wrap it up and ship it back.

I just cancelled…I have been receiving this box since December, I have loved each box up until March…my first 3 were awesome (Dec, Jan, Feb) my last 3 have been meh (Mar, Apr, May)…I guess with all subs they can be hit and miss. Time for this one to end for me…I also cancelled FFF and Peaches and Petals…think of the money I will be saving!

I do yoga and a 2 mm mat is nothing! I’m not impressed so this will be my third month I’m not ordering.

My thoughts exactly! Mat is way too thin!! No good for yoga… I do like the bracelets… I’m going month to month right now. ….

I agree with you. This is the third box in a row that I’m not that thrilled with the contents.

I’m with you. April was my first box and I liked it a lot, but this is actually very disappointing. I’m trying to decide if I want to cancel or give it one more shot for June… :/

You are not alone. Not one thing in the box appeals to me. I am so tired of books, Yoga stuff and gold jewelry. I would rather see more dishes / glasss / bottles and the like, coveted makeup items personalized to our complexion, choices between gold and silver in jewelry, and lotions…or cool items we might not buy for ourselves. This is my last box. FabFitFun has replaced this one for me!

At first I wasn’t excited about the theme and spoiler, but now after seeing these spoilers I am super excited. Wanted a yoga mat for a long time and held out hoping one of my boxes would send one. The bracelets look cute. All the items look great and will be used. Can’t wait for my box! Great job Pop sugar.

Thinking of dropping and adding only if I like the box. They never sell out, so I should be OK.

I wait for the spoilers to come out then buy a gift subscription.

THAT IS SO SMART!
This is my last box following the December fiasco where they told everyone their sub would start with Jan then backdated everyone to December and everyone ended up with double subscriptions…
I’m really torn right now on resubbing or not. I thought for SURE I was done with PopSugar but I’ve genuinely LOVED every box since December. Maybe I’ll hold off on ordering again at least for a bit to see if maybe they offer a deal to try to win back all the people I’m sure canceled in December.

I got the zing anything bottle in the mini-box does this mean I am getting another one?

Yeah is the water bottle included it seems to be the only thing on the picture mentioned?

The water bottle is in the mini box. The things in the regular box are in the second pic and are the items that are linked.

No. The pic just includes items from both boxes.

The mascara is most likely a “special extra” – the box has 8 items including it (up from 6 + the “gift” card in the last box). Usually that’s the case when they throw in a drug-store brand.
I’m happy to see that my label has been created – maybe this time I’ll get it in a reasonable amount of time!

After I read your comment, I noticed that the mascara and water are labelled as SE in the last picture, so I think you’re right. The other items are numbered.

I had the same thought about the mascara.
