[snip] 2 RGB polishes "MINTY" pale green "DOLL" taupe (bottles are small/like Zoya minis)
[snip]
What is the size on these?
I have a full-sized bottle from this brand that looks like a mini when compared to a rectangular (and thus similarly-shaped) Cosmetic Arts 15 ml polish, but the RGB polish is actually 12 ml, and full-sized polishes are usually 15 ml, so it's not *that* much smaller. It's just 1 ml smaller than the polishes I get from a-england, and it's 1 ml larger than butter LONDON polishes, and essence polishes are usually 5 - 8 ml (depending on the specific polish. This one apparently just *looks* smaller because other polishes tend to have thicker-walled bottles.

Hey guys! Just wanted to update you all. I sent them a very nice email regarding the whole false advertisement thing and I told them that I wanted to refund. I offered sending stuff back if it was more convenient for them but they were very kind. I told them that it just simply was not a service for me and I didn't appreciate being hyped up. This was their response.....
Thank you for your email. Our sincerest apologies for any confusion. We did change the subscription value listed on our site, as we realized that it could vary slightly from month to month. We wanted to make sure that we weren't misleading, as you noted, and would rather surprise customers when the value is higher than expected.
We are going to refund you in full for your first box — no need to return any of the products.
We’ve put a lot of thought into next month’s box, which will include more product and brand variety based on initial feedback from launch partners like you. The box themes are refreshed every month, and August will be completely different than July. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Thank you,
POPSUGAR Support

I think that is very savvy of them and shows good business sense. They are operating on VC dollars right now so thier public perception means everything at this point. There are already talks of POPSUGAR being acquired by either Yahoo or FB, so if they can maintain a positive consumer perception they are golden.
Like other silicon valley businesses, it won't be important that they are in the black for the next 3 to 5 years, they simply need to maintain a good public image, increase client base and the VC dollars will keep coming.
I'm upgrading my prior thoughts on this company. I did some research after my last two not so favorable remarks on them. It think this first little hicuup will probably whip them into shape. I'm very excited to see next month's offering!!

I love those lipstick colors!
Depending on the August pictures I might give this sub a try. I already cancelled Glossybox and Beauty Army for now, so I will actually have the funds for an expensive subscription if I really like what it's offering. For now I will just stalk everyone's pictures and drool

Thanks!! Hmmm.. I wonder how these came up as $150 worth. Or maybe it was really like $100 worth and they lured us to sign up for $150 worth of prods?
I hope next month is better.

I private messaged you a link the other day when you asked. I hope you are able to use it and subscriptions are still open.

Now that I have had time to actually play around with the products I have to say, I really do like just about everything that was in this box. Sure, it's pricier than several of the other subs I am currently subscribed to, but if I actually use everything in it it will end up being a much better value. I probably will cancel something else to keep this if I end up enjoying the next few boxes as well.
The kind bars were delicious! I never even heard of these before. I will most definitely be purchasing more of these in the future, especially the Madagascar Vanilla Almond one. These two bars were what I thought I wouldn't like, but they were yummy.

I received a very nice email back from the company after asking for a refund. They even wrote specific comments on some of my suggestions and thanked me for willing to finish up the remainder of my 3 months. Quick response too - especially for a weekend

Sigh, I have asked for a refund as well. If they can give information about it not being beauty items in the future I'd be willing to rejoin, but I just don't need beauty stuff and I'm sad there wasn't a book, a pair of earrings, etc etc. That article they wrote had me so excited about the things they could have included!

Thankfully their CS is pretty good from what I've experienced so far and also super fast to respond. I found it funny that their card said "July means vacations, beach reading and spending time with family and friends." No book or magazine was included but the card they gave us had a tear-off bookmark. XD

Received all the same items as above review
Body scrub (Raspberry) smells good enough to eat!
Body Lotion (Pomegranate)
2 RGB polishes "MINTY" pale green "DOLL" taupe (bottles are small/like Zoya minis)
1 Ilia Lip Conditioner BANG BANG (red!!!)
1 Ilia Lipstick IN MY ROOM (taupe/mauve)
2 bars different flavors (already know I like these)
POPSUGAR Beach bag~surprised by actual quality. It is nice and thick with a zipper
I got the same thing (colors). Added up the cost and got $99. I do like everything,just felt like I was suckered by Popsugar. If you say one price value and switch it after the fact that is cheating! The doubles of brands was strange! I will stick it out a few more months to see if it gets better.
This is my first post here...
