Hey guys! Just so you know I got the 8th product from the flirty fall box *(yes I had to email customer service for it) and it was the tarte lights camera splashes mascara which I’ll gift away but it was mailed out pretty promptly so yay!

vanessa

I feel bad for my USPS or UPS drivers this week. Usually I see/hear them coming & I’m like a little kid at Xmas.

But because of PS, I’m more of a billy goat troll.

Thank god my Sephora Scouted box arrives this afternoon.

Oh, happy day!

Jacki

If you spent the same $$ buying 3 of the $25 boxes, you’d get ~$700 value (~ for wiggle room ). This Exclusive box should have started at $43, before discount codes, to have a similar value. This box has the least total value for the items that weren’t spoilers despite including more of them. So the most expensive box was full of the cheapest items. If this box seems to be lacking to some, there’s some numbers to substantiate that.

vanessa

Ladies,

It has arrived!

I got my Gilt City LE box. *cue dramatic music & lights*

It is not as craptastic as I was fearing. Yes, a few items really s*ck – glittery toothpicks, rubber stamps & box tags. REALLY? My niece will die when she gets this junk.

But as to the rest & I was really aiming for – gifts. It went above & beyond. The bowl, runner & photo album will be Xmas gifts. I’m keeping the skinny scarf & mascara. The serum will be swapped.

My moms already jacked the Phillip Lim bag. She told me she will fight me! My Nana stole the bubble wrap 😐

Oh happy day.

Jacki

Hey popping those bubbles is a great release! Also we will all need it to wrap up our cast offs.

vanessa

Hey, J., no shame to my Nana’s game.

(Especially with how much we are all hostile toward PS at the moment.)

Lisa

I emailed Popsugar. The listing clearly states “8 items” for the Flirty Fall (I got 2). Not including one means I should be able to subtract some value for the money I paid. Clearly it wasn’t much but stating something and doing something else by a large company isn’t cool. We should hold them accountable.

Julie

Popsugar does stick to their word. They mailed out the 8th item without question. Just kinda crappy on their part that they’ll only do it for those of us that take the time and effort to ask for it while others will chalk it up as still a pretty decent win between the hat and bracelet and leave it at that.

vanessa

Go on, girl! ✊

Susan

Have you had a response from them? I ordered this one, along with the other two. I agree, if it said there are 8 items, that what they should send. I mean, they could have sent the toothpicks with this one to make the 8th item! (Maybe help them get rid of them all – HA!HA!)

mandymeg

I just got my Tropical Wanderlust box so here’s what is in it for those of you dying to know: The turkish towel and Winky Lux Lipstick that were spoiler items, plus the bandana looking sarong, swan drink floatie, Sachajuan hair stuff, and pineapple pin from June 2016 and a Michael Stars dark brown seagrass hat (don’t know which box that came from). Only seven items, not the eight that was promised. I wasn’t subscribed to Popsugar in June of 2016 so most of that stuff is new to me- believe it or not, I have never gotten a swan floatie in all of the mystery boxes I have purchased, so I’m kind of glad I can now join the club!

Veronica

I was getting worried after seeing the spoilers for the previous boxes, but now I’m kind of relieved. While I already have the winky lipstick and sarong scar thing everything else will be new and I got it for $17.50 thanks to the 30%off code

Ann

Bummer. I’m fine with the towel and lip gloss, but yeesh. This will be my 3rd sarong(it’s awful), 5 or 6th swan, 3rd sachajuan hair gunk, they gave those pineapple pins away for free last time, and that hat is hhhhhiiiiidddeeeeous. I have one already and feel bad to even donate it to the Salvation Army. Maybe I’ll just “forget” it on a bench somewhere.

That’s pretty bad that none of the boxes included the amount of items they said they would.

Well, except for the towel/lip/swan items, the rest goes to the garbage. Lesson learned. No more Popsugar anything for me. I have much more fun buying things I see and like and…CAN RETURN.

Ann

Not sure why I cannot respond to some people on here. Anyway, I am not on the swaps page/have not joined.

Renee

I like the sarong and wore it at the Caribbean beach resort we visited in the spring. It is lightweight and breezy and perfect for tropical weather. Maybe it is just not to your taste?

Lisa

Definitely don’t trash it. I’d love the swan, hat and hair stuff- and I’m sure others would as well 🙂

Mattie

Thanks for posting spoilers! I’ve been going crazy with anticipation. I’m happy overall. A few dupes for me but that was expected. The hat will be new to me so I’m grateful 😊

How do we deal with the missing item? Do we contact PSMH or Gilt?

Lisa

Was the Turkish towel the Ocean Tribe by Turkish-T Kilim Towel or was it the Basic Breeze Sorbet Turkish-T towels from last year?

mandymeg

It’s the Ocean Tribe towel from a few months ago. The whole reason I got this box!

Wow, thank you! It’s my first swan too, so I can’t complain much! And I love the Sachajuan hair product that I already have 2 of the orange tubes 🙂

vanessa

Congratulations!!

I’m so jelly, I didn’t get one.

*sobs*

Gabriela

My first swan, yay!
It’s definitely a Tropical box, but don’t seem very Wanderlust to me.

ColleenT.

On the Gilt City website it clearly states

Eight additional full-sized fashion and beauty surprises

‘ Im counting 4 fashion and beauty surprises.

It’s just a flat out lie.

Susan

Agreed! Not sure how toothpicks, stamps and tags fit into their description of “fashion and beauty items.” I know there are usually a couple things I’m not crazy in the regular boxes, but with the $75 box, I certainly didn’t expect toothpicks! I ordered this box because I wanted the chambray runner and come to find out it’s in the Flirty Fall box – which I also ordered. Probably would not have ordered the $75 box if I knew the runner was in the other one. First box from PS that I’ve been pretty disappointed in.

Estalyn

Ladies, Colleen T is totally right. I think we should all demand that PS accept returns of this box since it does not contain the items they promised on Gilt’s website. I cannot believe they sent us toothpicks and gift tags. WTF. At first I was horrified and now I’m just mad.

Estalyn

I am going to email PS about the contents of my box. I was hoping to get some makeup. Do you think they will let all of us return the exclusive box since it did not contain what it said it would? If nothing else, I bet the CC would be willing to do a chargeback since we did not receive what we paid for.

vanessa

I definitely would have liked a couple more beauty/makeup/skincare items versus an overpriced photo book, stampers, glittery toothpicks or box tags 😕

February

Extremely disappointed.. total RV is $401 so PS didn’t lie but are they really worth $401??
Clearly, PS is clearing out its warehouse on us.

Wendy B

$400.50. It’s still “over a $400 value” lol.

vanessa

Wendy, if you weren’t my sister….👊

Betty

Sorry I got this one, a few of the items are good, but lord the inkstamp thing, paper tags, party picks ect. really got me like whoa 😟😢😫

vanessa

Got me more like 🗡🏹🥊

I feel like we need a support group at this point.

Wendy B

Yes! I couldn’t have survived this traumatic experience without you all.

Elena Zakrutaeva

😂, that’s exactly why I keep coming back here fir comments and the support group. Making sure it’s nit just me being too critical…

Janelle

It is a good box if you don’t regularly subscribe to popsugar. But if popsugar is selling these boxes to regular subscribers it is horrible and all the items are repeats!

Lisa

That’s they whole point of them. These boxes all include items from previous boxes. The descriptions clearly state that.

Niecy

I’m not happy shoveling out 75 dollars for this box. Overly inflated prices.

Ann

I didn’t even get this box, but I shook my head at the toothpicks and the tags. Like…DAMN.

TOOTHPICKS, PEOPLE.

Kelli

Here is to hoping that this is the last of all these items….I am ready for some new mystery boxes

Julie

I grabbed the flirty box for the kendra scott bracelet. I have gifted those to everyone I know! It’s been the only jewelry I have actually liked from both popsugar and FFF. That stowaway palette on the other hand I’m pretty sure I’ll be giving away instead of Halloween candy this year… do brands understand that having their product shoved down our throat is not the best way to create brand loyalty or find new consumers? =/

Jeanette

What if the trick or treaters run because they already have it?

vanessa

“Awww, hell no! Not that Manna Kadar again!! You s*ck. Gimme a Snickers!”
🎃🤠🤡🤕👿👻😱

Amanda

I would doubt the brand had anything to do with the frequency in which we see certain products. Popsugar probably commits to a mass purchase of a certain quantity. Then use the “leftovers” for warehouse sales, mystery boxes, etc.

Estalyn

I def agree with the other posters who said we should complain about the box. It is horrifyingly terrible. 🙁 I hope that enough of us complain that PS will do something for those of us who are upset. I know it’s a mystery box and that it’s a random crapshoot, but it reallly is insulting. Can you imagine if this was your first exposure to PS?!?

vanessa

Yeah, 1st & last.

Please everyone who is disappointed should send them feedback! This is the only way we can be heard & ideally customer service improves.

Arden

I broke up with PS after the red plastic purse and the Kate Spade photo album. Primarily because I do not live in 1987. I haven’t regretted it. I’m pleased Enough with the flirty fall box because of the bracelet and body wash. This box is just insulting. No where near value promised and curated poorly. I suspect this junk will be kicking around a long time

Kelli

I agree. I am very pleased with the Fall flirty box because of the Hat, Bracelet, body wash, and the Smith & Cult…..
I would highly urge the people that got this box and were incredibly disappointed to reach out to them and demand a refund. Their customer service has always been pretty good.

Wendy B

This is my first go around with PS. I’ve been on the fence about subscribing so I got the exclusive and tropical to test the waters. From this experience I’m running away.

Elena

I agree, maybe we could sign a collective letter asking for refund/ return?

vanessa

I’m game!

Jenny

so glad I didnt spend my $75 on this box. Now waiting on spoilers from the last box and see if it gets any better

Lori

Same here – so so happy I did not buy this box.

Wendy B

Do you all hear that? It’s the sound of all this going up for swap.

vanessa

Shhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone. We may be able to sneak it past the Swap Police.

Wendy B

😂😂😭 You get me and it’s wonderful!

Ann

That was a bulled well dodged! I didn’t get it because I did not want the spoilers, but I also felt burned after I got the most expensive box last time(luckily I also got the summer box or whatever it was that ended up being the best with the bottle and stuff). Whew. I am not a subscriber and probably never will be. I prefer to scavenge the leftovers in cheap mystery boxes and eBay. My wanderlust box is going to be here on Wednesday! I already love the spoilers so the rest will just be gravy for $17.50.

Wendy

I almost bought this box, but did not, because I bought 3 cfda and have 3 of those pouches. I have one to my sister and still have 2. I did the value calculation and only has $100 worth of items that have not been spoiled, so spent the month on 3 fall boxes instead. All the hats and bracelets will be gifts, and love more of the shower oil.

Margaret

I think everyone should email Popsugar customer service, this is really not okay. There’s no way that Philip Lim “pouch” is worth 195. As a Popsugar exclusive they can assign any value they like…it reminds me of an ipsy bag. It kind of seems like the 75 dollar box has way less value than the fall box for 25. Very disappointing and not a good deal by any stretch.

Lisa

I was thinking the same thing. I’m so disappointed. And I was thinking about subbing but not now.

Ann

The thing I do not understand is that all of that was said upfront on here. The bag was “retailed” $195 and they said that’s what you were going to get so I don’t understand why everyone is so surprised. I mean, I get that it sucks because the rest of the box doesn’t have all that great of stuff(Hey- I think that hair serum is great!). That was another reason I did not get that box- that stupid bag was going to be half the value.

Maggie

Wow! I echo all the other people who said they are glad they did not cave and buy this box 😨. All I can say to those who did buy it, maybe you are getting your bad box karma over with for the year and some really great boxes are in your future? I hope so 🤞🏻

I’m so happy that I decided not to buy it. What a lame box!

Wendy B

That’s a wonderful way to look at this fiasco. Thanks for brightening my spirits.

vanessa

SWANS, Wendy. SWANS

Beth

I thought this box would have alot of goodies from the LE Boxes but no it was just the endless supply of the Must Have Boxes, and they just put extra items that don’t sell to fluff up the box. What do they still have these products still!!!? I would be upset if I payed 50 for this because of the coupon.
HOW DO THEY STILL HAVE THESE THINGS STILLLLLL????

ColleenT.

I am so disappointed in this box and upset with myself for spending that much money on things I already have 3x over. I feel duped.

Christy

I sent them an email letting them know that I was simply unhappy and that my $25 box was better than my $75 one and that the overwhelming response of their customers on MYSA was negative. All unhappy people should let them know. This box did not have a value 3x the other boxes

Jill

Christy,
Did you ever receive a response? It’s my intention to email as well. Can these boxes be returned?

Wendy

I emailed as well I hopes that in the future they take better care with their box curation. I understand it was a sale but I am disappointed that a box 1/3 the price with half the item value had a much better variety than the expensive one. Lesson learned.

vanessa

Their “curation” is #1 reason why I had previously avoided sub’ing or buying LE boxes from PS.

I’m sorry, but even forgiving them the ridiculous RV inflation on most, if not all items – this is a joke. I’d be laughing harder if I wasn’t crying at being duped into believing my purchase was actually worth more than it is.

PS will definitely hear about it!

Vanessa

Whew, I was tempted but glad I restrained myself. The Fall box looks great! The mascara in the $75 box is great, BTW. .

Svetlana7e

Glad that I did not get this one. I got two other boxes. I was so close to get it, but last minute back off. So happy.

Joy

Like the last round, the most expensive box was the worst. Glad I skipped this one. Sorry to anyone who got stuck with it 🙁

Jeanine

Me too!! I am so relieved!! It’s pretty bad when you don’t even get excited over one item!! (Mascara is good but i have fake lashes so don’t wear it!!)
