POPSUGAR Must Have July 2016 Box FULL SPOILERS + Coupon

:: sighs ::
I’ve been a popsugar subscriber for almost 3 years now. This is literally the saddest box I’ve encountered.
I don’t have a pool, a large % of folks don’t, so the float is useless.
I’m not worried about sun protecting my hair, so another useless item.
A couple of the napkins were nice, sans the super tacky smiley faces.
The print on the scarf is nice, but it looks like a remnant from a production of larger scarves.
Maybe it’s a generational thing but I’ve just never been into pins or brooches (it’ll get used as a fancy push pin in my workspace)
The highlighter seems ok maybe.
Oh, the chips, good job on the chips.
In all, most of it will likely not get used, and none of it seems worthy of regifting …

Ok. Just got my box and I feel like it has a better presentation in person. While I still don’t get the cheeky theme (maybe it’s the brow pencil which said that it could be used to put some glow/shimmer on your cheeks), I do feel that a fun, summer vibe was there. No, I won’t be using all of the box ~ only b/c I don’t have a pool & I don’t wear pins. But like others have said, they can be gifted or swapped. The card said that you could use the pin to keep your scarf in place, which I thought was a cute idea. If the scarf & pin would have been more boho (which is just my taste), I would have totally used them. The curation seemed to be thoughtful & spot on for this years summer trends, regardless if it was my taste or not. 🙂

Ok, here’s my internal debate. Will next month suck less? Or should I cancel. What’s their record with following a hot mess box with an awesome one?

I would trade the world for a nipple pin.

That’s hilarious. It’s like they saw Birchbox/allure screw up, and thought- how do we top that?! I know…nipple pin.

*slow clap*

What’s the best way to swap an entire box in the swaps area? Idk what to list it under! And if anyone wants this whole thing, lemme know!

My box just arrived today … The Pintrill pineapple pin was listed on the card, but I got an Urban Outfitters flamingo pin (with a $10.00 sticker on it) instead. It’s cute but that’s very strange, and the price on the pin is $2 less than the Pintrill pin on the card. They must have done a temporary substitute and just forgot to say something via email (I guess?) but that is so weird coming from PopSugar. That is something I would have expected from some of the shoddier boxes I once subscribed to. I will email them and find out what’s up.

The rest of the box is okay but the vibe of it is a little “off” with me. I think I will at least try to use everything, but the box didn’t thrill me when I went through it. I’ve been a subscriber since November 2012 and this is only the second box where I didn’t get the wow factor and excitement as I went through it. Oh well, can’t win ’em all.

I love everything in this box! I just rec’d the box and everything is much nicer in person, especially the cocktail napkins and scarf.

I don’t see it meantioned that there is a card for a free brow waxing at European wax center. Over 700 locations. I’ll use that and eat the chips.
Just a terrible box this month though. The last three have been awful in my opinion.
I cancelled. I used to really love popsugar and am sad they got so crappy.
Perhaps the curators have gone on vacation?

SOooo disappointed…Can I SWAP THE ENTIRE BOX with someone for different box?????

I will swap the whole box if anyone interested?

I just cancelled. I’ve been a subscriber since October and was a subscriber before that for half a year or so.

I’m not interested in a subscription box that curates so carelessly that it literally sends me a sarong (which was beautiful, but I’ll use it as a scarf) one month and then the NEXT month sends me nearly the identical pattern as a scarf.

I’m really quite disappointed – I LOOOOOVED PopSugar. But, they’ve gone downhill the past few months. I’ll keep an eye on the upcoming boxes and resubscribe if I need to (and I’ll definitely order the fall LE because fall is my favorite season), but I don’t think their boxes will be sold out for several months now given the disappointment and cancellations I’m seeing people mention.

Sad. 🙁

#Yaaaasssss
Love how this box theme turned out! So excited about the swan cup holder ( literally was going to buy this during lunch today! )

I like the box… but I don’t love it. I mean, it’s worth the money I paid for it, but half the items I’ll be giving to my sister or my mom or listing for swap.

Love the scarf and will gift the pin and eat the chips, maybe use the brow highlighter. Love the float but live in NYC with no pool is sight and no beach house either alas 🙁

The Trove gift card just makes me mad. The cheapest things I could find were a few necklaces around $70. I clicked on one just to see how it worked and saw that the PENDANT BY ITSELF was $70, and if you wanted a chain with it it was another $5. Even with the gift card why would anyone pay that much for a charm???? The Bloomthat gift card from the April box was basically useless too. I don’t know what the curators are thinking.

I was so reluctant/sad to end my subscription in May; however, June and July boxes confirmed I made the right decision!

I’m so disappointed. I would have been better off going to TJ Maxx and buying cute summer things. Where does “cheeky” come in btw?? I’m truly thinking about cancelling. I’m sick of overpriced scarfs.

Ok, I too am not thrilled with this box. I don’t have a pool, so I’m not sure what to do with a floating swan. As for the scarf, its cute and all, most likely would have been a great fall choice…but its July. Not to mention didn’t we just get a wrap last box!! The pineapple pin, well what exactly am I suppose to do with this totally not a pin fan of any sorts. Snacks are great when your bundled up in sweats & sweaters. Not for summer when your trying to keep that girlish figure.

PSMH, I have never been so disappointed then what I have been in the last two boxes. I have been a loyal customer for almost 3 1/2 years. I use to get trendy items that could be used either everyday or least something I could use in the upcoming months. So Exciting right!!! Cute wristlet, cosmetics, hair accessories, jewelry & work out items.

Now it seems like you all are really struggling with what can I find to put in the box to fill it. You really need dig deep go back think long and hard before you just “fill” a box with a lot of unnecessary items just to get by, and we are paying for it.

Geez I will be soooo glad when my sub expires totally not worth it – bleh

I live in an apartment. What the H do I need with a pool drink holder? My apartment bldg. doesn’t have a pool! Way to go, Pop Sugar.

I am not in love, but I like it better than the last 2-3 boxes. I love the scarf. The float is cute and at least I can use all of the products this time. I was going to cancel if I hated the box again, but I will keep my subscription for now. My son just built a pool so he gets the float and I think he and his wife will like it.

2nd box since I cancelled. 2nd box I have not regretted missing. It’s not bad just not worth the money and as someone else said seems more for millennials. I can spend my money elsewhere.

I wonder if they have changed their curator or curation team members, and that is why PSMH seems to have shifted so dramatically (aka gone downhill IMO) recently.
At any rate, I cancelled my sub yesterday.

this just makes me sad. I look at reviews all the time and love the items. Then I do a 3 month subscription and it sucks each month. May was ok, but June and July have been massive disappointments. The Summer LE box also left me feeling underwhelmed abd the practicality of the mini box is fading as well. I’ll use the hair stuff to prevent fading, and the scarf and pin might be worthwhile, but the rest of this is useless for me. I think I’ll be giving up on Popsugar.

If the pin is small enough, maybe people could swap for or buy another and use them as earrings! You would probably need to coat the post with some clear nail polish or something to avoid irritation if your ears are sensitive.
