Hey guys! Recent subscriber to POPSUGAR here and I’m confused! Sorry if these are silly questions, but how do I get notified about the sale of these boxes that are not quarterly? Is it an email alert? I only ordered the Summer box. Are these only available for annual subscribers?
I would’ve loved to catch this box, but at the same time I’m kind of glad I did. Lord knows I don’t need any more stuff!! but I need to be prepared for next time!!
Any answers help. Thanks!! 🙂

Just wanted to let everybody know I emailed Sachajuan to ask about the date on the hair in the sun and they said it is the production date. So enjoy!

i just got my spring box and i love it! i’m not a subscriber to popsugar and for ~$30, I felt like it was a great deal. I tied the skinny scarf on the black baggu. The game is pretty cute and maybe I’ll read a few chapters of the book.
The hair product smells good and I don’t care how old it is, doesn’t seem spoiled to me and I’m willing to roll the dice. And Supergoop is my fav sunscreen. I can see why people would hate this box if they had all the items but I think it’s great!

Uhhhh did I do the math right, the popsugar “book” cost us $3.25?! This is the book that numerous people have tried to donate and been told “no thanks” =/ Not to mention two year old nail polish… I was on board with the swan but counting the book as an actual item? Common guys the matches are kindling enough.

I am back and forth on subscribing to their new quarterly box. Part of me thinks it might be really good since they want to hook people in. But $75? When will we see more spoilers. One really good one is all I would need.

Some folks are getting the Aloha pouch instead of the Baggu-FYI

I got the aloha pouch and hate it! It’s basically an oversized makeup bag. I was super excited about the baggu bag so when I opened the box to find that my heart broke.

Boo, I suppose that would be OK but im really hoping for the duck bag. If not, i might just add it on to my april birchbox

My heart just dropped. I really hope I get the Baggu. I think the Aloha pouch is cute, but not instead of the Baggu!

I didn’t even get the baggu bag, I got the waterproof aloha pouch. So disappointed….

Anyone else find it odd that this box is meant to “update your look” yet half of the items are from 2 years ago?!

I think these items are awful and sending expired Products is so wrong! Greta yours made me laugh so True!! Update??? 😂😂😂

To MANY these are never before and AWESOME deals!! The Baggu bag by itself value is the cost of the entire box.
CANNOT wait till Mother’s Day Mystery box….

I believe the date on Sachajuan Hair In the Sun is actually the date it was manufactured. I have 3 tubes, 1 of which I’m using now, and love it so much 😍

I’ve got 4 bottles of this stuff and I still don’t get how you’re supposed to use it. How much? A quarter size? I have long, fine hair. I end up looking like I just took a romp in the bed every time I use it.

When I saw the swan and the book, I laughed so hard I was glad I was wearing waterproof makeup.

Both boxes are terrible. Why does anyone keep buying mystery poosugar boxes on gilt???

The Galentines mystery boxes were fabulous! I knew these were going to be old stuff because of the spoilers, which is why I didn’t order. Not all of the people that are on this site or new to this site are past subscribers and for them it is a great deal….
I am looking forward to the Mother’s Day Mystery box as it also was fabulous last year!

Poosugar was a typo, but kind of funny given the contents of these boxes!!

I got the Spring Break Box. I’ve never subbed, because the boxes have looked hit and miss. This was also my first mystery box from them. For the price, I’m content. I got the Natural Cloud pattern for the Baggu, which is much more my style, because of the black in it. That alone, justifies it for me. I can throw some stuff in my purse or use it for the beach/pool. I live in the south, so maybe that justifies it more for me. I hate wearing sunscreen and made the mistake of going to Disney for 13 hours last year and looked like a lobster. I hate the usual smell, but this sunscreen has promising reviews. The box will be skimmed and probably donated to one of the little libraries. I’ll admit, if it was a seasonal box, I’d be a bit disappointed. I likely won’t sub to PS, because I’m doubting that they really have many wow items and will probably just be happier sticking to FFF for a fraction of the price. I was hoping this box would make me want to sub with their new change to seasonal, but it actually did quite the opposite. Maybe they will step up their game and surprise me. Even with my xo, peachy box only having five items and about $7 cheaper, I’m much happier I’ll be getting it. So at least it hasn’t steered me from Gilt like it has others.

I think these both look really interesting. I’d love to have either of them. But then again, I’m not a PopSugar Must Have subscriber. I’ve never even bought a limited edition box. I just have a hard time ordering anything that says “mystery.” I enjoy seeing surprise items in my boxes but without 2-3 spoilers I’m not usually ready to hit the button. I do wish these were not both sold out.

Not sure where you are seeing this?? On gilt it is sold and has been for awhile? You have to have a voucher thru Gilt to get it at the discount price so?

I’m sorry that no one bought Lisa Sugar’s book, but why must we be punished for that?

I read a little of the beginning. I think it is a great story. Especially for high school kids about to graduate or college students. It helps to hear how people found their way, made things happen, discovered what they were good at, how much work you probably have to put in, that you don’t have to be a cookie cutter to be successful, etc.

I tied the skinny black and white scarf to the handle of a large straw tote and it was really cute! It’s the perfect size to accessorize like that.

I hope more people put those House of Pom napkins on ebay. I’m not a swapper, but I’d pay $5 each for them w/ free shipping. I’d love to get several sets because I only like 2 or 3 of the designs. But they are nicer in person than in the picture I think. And for those that received an unwanted pin, I use mine in place of a thumbtack at work.

Just so you know Ebay charges about 12% off the sale price in fees. PayPal charges .30 + about 3% in fees. All this plus shipping and packing supplies the person selling anything on Ebay for $5 plus free shipping is maybe make a $1 for all their work.

If anyone wonders why PSMH switched to a quarterly box, just read all these negative comments.

This Spring Break box is the first thing I’ve ever ordered from PopSugar, so I don’t have any of these items. I’m legit excited about the bag, because I love Baggu, and I also like the pin and the swan (I haven’t seen it 1000 times like y’all have). Sunscreen is always great, so I guess I got my value out of it, but I can honestly say with 13 items in the box, it would have been great to like more than 4. I was thinking hard about subscribing to the quarterly box, but the mystery box is making me rethink. I mean, this box with the discount was less than a monthly box and basically contained most of the contents of June and July 2016, plus the best part of the August 2016 box and I still didn’t love it. Granted the quarterly boxes will probably be close to twice the size of the previous monthly boxes, so…..maybe?

I doubt the quarterly boxes will be twice the monthly ones in terms of item amount. Well, maybe just the 1st one because they already said it will have more items—probably to hook us up. I predict, however, a bit nicer items with even more inflated value than usual to justify their advertising. Kind of like their limited edition boxes.

I promised myself not to spend another penny on PS after I bought their boxes like six months ago where they put same JUNK and some useless hats. I am so happy that I am keeping this promise. Even so I did not buy these boxes, it still mad me mad how PS still selling their endless junk. I think it is very disrespectful for their customers and they should be ashamed of themselves. They should disclose their “mystery”, which has not been mystery for two years now, beforehand, otherwise, they got what they deserved – a lot of pissed off customers.

They must have purchased hundreds of thousands of pineapple pins and swan drink floaties! The amount of overstock is insane!!

It is pretty amazing when you stop to really think about what their warehouse must have looked like 2 or so years ago before they started doing all of these mystery boxes with the same items in them PLUS the warehouse sales. I seriously wonder what happened and if anyone got fired over that inventory nightmare….

Return of the swan!! I didn’t order it but the Baggu would have made this box worth it for me. Overall though, it’s a typical PS mystery box. I don’t know why people get so angry when this has been the pattern for a long time. I also wonder, how does PS forecast their ordering because it just seems odd to have such an excess of certain things, like the swan and the emoji napkins.
