Lol, I did it! I pulled the trigger. I really believe this might just be an incredible first box. It would make sense, right? Wow everyone and hook as many subscribers in as possible…
I have my fingers crossed. Either way Happy Mothers Day to me!

I hope this is one great box…I’ve never had a POPsugar box and now I will be getting one. I just hope it’s worth 75 including tax. i HAVE Boxycharm for makeup so i really hope it’s not too much of their new line.

I bought one. I decided to give the inaugural box a try. Additionally I have some FOMO going on. I am afraid they may sell out. I drug my heels on the Neiman Marcus box and it sold out so I decided to give this a try.
I am not signing on for a year though. I am willing to spend almost $80 (I have to pay tax) a try.
I am glad it is not vacation themed. I like the theme of self care. I think a nice box of self care indulgences I would never think to buy myself sounds good.

My FOMO kicked in too! I’m hoping the first box is pretty great. 🤞

Yes! I normally hate summer boxes–I don’t travel, I don’t swim or go near pools, I don’t go to the beach, etc, so I have been a little terrified of this box, but self care is the best theme ever (hmm and what most boxes are every month, but still). I am excited!

Oh no!!!!!That picture with the green leaf reminds me of the Box of Style mumu that was sent in their Spring box!

Lol @ Mumu. I thought it was horrendous too.

I was thinking of the succulent too actually, maybe some kind of kit to pot it to help you de-stress or something. I seriously hope there’s no mug, as a teacher, I get tons of mugs. The oranges and the faucet made me think too – a new kitchen would be lovely. I can’t decide I’ll resub again, I guess I’ll wait for the first spoiler.

Hummmm so I was watching Shark Tank a few weeks ago, and they featured Dermovia, a company that makes $15 lace face masks. The business owners mentioned that they had a HUGE order from a subscription box company… I wonder if it’s Popsugar? A super expensive lace face mask would certainly fit the “self care” theme!
Reply
Sonia
If you look at the Popsugar website they mention those masks constantly as the best on skin care.

I also was wondering about the same thing! Since they said they had a 1 million purchase order, I thought of FFF! I wasn’t sure if PopSugar needed that much product.

Tracy
That’s so funny! I was wondering also!!! We’re the Sub Box Sleuths. Hehehe

That’s funny I was trying to figure out which beauty box box could possible afford that expensive of a mask considering most boxes are under $21. This makes sense, or maybe FFF.

MinnePuffin
FFF is my guess. They have a discount code for another Shark Tank product. They might have a connection there.

If loving Popsugar boxes is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
They could have made the theme ” Butterflies Are Free” and I’d still have subscribed. I will go the extra distance to give them every opportunity to sell and deliver awesome or even just ” nice” boxes.
PSMH was probably my first subscription, I’ve been with them from the first bag, not box, and I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for them. I draw the line at Ban.do kitsch merchandise and clear plastic purses, but other than that, I’m mostly happy with almost everything they’ve curated.

I predict something from their beauty line, possibly the lip scrub.
Even though I know they never include items in their theme picture I think I see an essential oil diffuser and there was one in their self-care article back in November!!

They said on Instagram that they’re nearly sold out (no mention of how many are left, though), and that they’re “leaning on LE boxes as a template.” To me, that says a lot of straw or tote bags, sunglasses, and bronzer sprays based on past LE summer boxes. 😕 Those don’t *really* say self-care to me, but who knows?

@Liz With the recent changes to PS it’d be helpful for us nonsubscribers to post when it ships and how much it costs per shipment……
Reply
Amber
@Megan, please refer to the following post to answer all your questions….
It is $75 per quarter (or $270 for an annual subscription) plus possible tax depending on where you live. The first box will ship at the end of May/beginning of June.

Sorry, it’s actually the end of April/beginning of May!

All I need is a good spoiler and I am in. I have missed the Popsugar of old. Maybe something from Sisters of Los Angeles. . .A rocking summer nail color… Leahlani mermaid mask . . .

On one hand, this theme is so common it’s boring as all get out.
On the other hand, I really want one of those wooden bath trays that I see a glimpse of and (believe it or not) I’ve only gotten one mug from a sub box (and my BF stole that). I’d like the one in the pic.
We’ll have to see what’s in it before I make any decisions.

I really want that bath caddy too! We shall see…

From the picture is most likely they will include the soap. Since, apparently having a “luxe” soap bar instead of an antibacterial soap with a pump is consider “self care”
I hope the conversation of self care mentions more how eating nutritious food is more self care than the other marketing stuff they are trying to push.

Is this going to be the first box? I thought they were going to have a Spring box?

first box is a summer box, to ship before the summer season starts.

I have to admit my interest is piqued but PopSugar’s theme spoilers are always so vague. I will have to see spoilers before considering buying this box. I hope to see more than one spoiler. I like PopSugar so I shall see!

Sonia
If I learned something from my years with PSMH is that 90% of the time the theme has nothing to do with whats in the box! LOL

i can see… Difuser??? Bathtub caddy? Hemp CBD Relief and Recovery Cream maybe; bathrobe or mug .. I am just guessing… I hope to see spoilers 😀

Self care, maybe a we-vibe? That’s some serious self care… Haha! Such a non-specific theme. Ugh.

😂 in my FFF box there was a massage roller and my husband saw it and asked “what is that?!?” That would take a lot of explaining lol

Why do they even bother with theme spoilers? ‘Self-care’ is such a vague, general, overused term, it could be anything.
Reply
Erica
I know, literally any of their past boxes could be “self care”. It’s basically meaningless.
Reply
Sharyn
Seriously. They are always way too broad and vague to be helpful.

I bit. I’m a sucker for a candle. And I feel like there will be a candle in here. There better be. I’m also my favorite person to pamper, so self-care always sits well with me. I feel like they’ll do a cooling mask or something to go along with my candle, mug, and tea. I hope we don’t get a robe, those can be size specific. Unless they ask for sizes.

Birchbox for men (customized) always asks for sizes on clothing, I don’t see why psmh can’t do the same!

Shakira, I’m sold! Getting the box without spoilers. Plus they said eight items for first box, Be nice if you curate the fall box. LOL

It’s only March and I’m already exhausted by #selfcare and I feel like that kind of defeats the point. Can someone please help explain to me how selfcare because the go-to term of 2018? And with sub boxes typically being filled with lotions and candles and face mask aren’t they by definition #selfcare…how is that a spoiler?! That being said, I’m looking forward to a real spoiler for this box.

I anticipate a spectacular first quarterly box with the higher number of items featuring the usual inflated retail value with the sole purspose of snaring us back into subbing. Not that there is anything wrong with that (Awesome box? Yes, please) but I know better than falling for their tried-and-(sadly)-true marketing plot. I’ll be strong. I’ll frame my credit card statement and keep it at my nightstand as an incentive.

Hemp oil, teakwood bath caddy, bath soak, candle and a new palette from their new makeup line.

This box must include a mini floating swan to hold a plastic govino glass on the bathtub. And the swan will come in two colors: dark blue and slightly less dark blue.
Obviously, the box will inevitably include a book of some sort and a vegan-leather clutch in the afromentioned selection of colors.

I like it. I’m relieved (with only 4 boxes a year) it’s not vacation themed. I don’t take vacations, so those boxes never worked for me. I hope it’s great.
I’m trying to separate my disappointment over the Day date box, from my feelings about this box.
I really, really, really want to continue my love for Popsugar. I just hope the box is awesome.

I totally understand you… the day date box is a disaster. But I really really love Popsugar – my fav subscription box … and I think this box is going to be great,

Looks to me like more of a winter type with a bath and warm orange tea…..
