Popsugar Must Have May 2015 *SPOILERS*

[jbird1175]

I'm not feeling this box. I'll either give the entire thing to my sister or try to sell it. Oh well, you can't win (like) em all.

Brings up something we haven't talked about in a few years. Color and styles may vary. I remember we were really not thrilled about some of the variety we were getting. Remember way back the 3 variations of evening bags which one of them had an opening no bigger than a lipstick round??? I don't remember which year or month. But

All the blue, which I like blue, but we have gotten a lot of blue.

I'm sure there are plenty more examples, but would you vote to let them open up variations? Like this vase.

Anyway. Just love conversation with you gals. Having fun waiting and wishing for my boxes!

I for one would like to have more options because then we can trade amongst ourselves to get what we really want.  I will generally trade items of any color for all things black, haha.

Thanks DianeER for this great information.  Once I've signed up as a registered user, where do I see shipments that are coming to my address?  Also, will SmartPost shipments also be visible?  I've looked all over the site and don't see anything but I know that a SmartPost is delivering today or tomorrow.  

Any advice?

Well it looks like my May box is 2.6 lbs and coming from NY not CA.  That has been picked up already whereas the CFDA box is still waiting to be picked up.   Spoilers should be available soon. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 You have to launch the FedEx tracking widget or from Quick Access select Access FedEx Delivery Manager (and launch from there). I have to log in and then select the FedEx main page to see all of the options ....

I got my shipping notice yesterday. I'm thinking I'll put the whole thing up for trade minus the towel and taffy lol. We are going to the beach in a couple of weeks so at least that will be useful, but I've never met a towel worth more than $10.

It's my birthday month and my last box on my Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal, and I'm really disappointed. I had asked my hubby to extend the sub as my bday gift but I'd rather have the $ to spend at Sephora. *Sigh* See ya PopSugar Must Have, it was lackluster while it lasted.

 

[I'm so addicted]

Question - May will be the last box of my six month black friday deal. Do I need to go in and physically cancel my sub or will it just end... I just want to make sure I don't get charged full price for a new six month or month to month subscription.

I was on a 3 month sub, I was so scared to look at my credit card to see what they charged bc I forgot to cancel, and I'm only being charged month to month...

 

[daisygirl2]

Wow! Mine came already. I am not unhappy with it, but I am not thrilled. The things in it are cute and fun. My only real disappointment was that I was so looking forward to feeling that $40 beach towel. I figured at that price point, it had to be luxurious. Nope, it feels exactly like a $7.99 towel from Target.

I was wondering the same thing, so I looked it up. Here's what their FAQ says:

All subscriptions automatically convert to a month-to-month subscription at the end of the initial 3-, 6-, or 12-month period (as applicable), so you should not miss a box!
However, if the "gift" option was checked at time of purchase, your subscription will not auto-renew and will expire after the prepaid period.

I checked my account page and it says the June box is the next shipment and June 2015 is the next payment.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look it up for me! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Guess I need to decide whether or  not to keep it going.  I think I'll probably take a little break... I've got too much stuff, lol.  But I know the second I cancel, the next box will be amazing.  ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got my box today. It always makes me smile to see the pink box on my porch, but I'm taking a PopSugar break for now. The CDFA box just feels icky to me and I don't see the value in paying full price for this box.

The necklace didn't work with my boobiture. But - I was able to hook the chain (not on the extender) so it was a bit tighter around my neck and it looks nice. It's very sparkly but I'm thinking, "What are you pointing to, exactly?" Hmm, maybe I need to just gift it (like I did for all other PopSugar necklaces!).

The taffy is bigger than I expected and the packaging does look cool. But really PopSugar, can you spare it? Geez.

The bud vase is very pretty and will go to my mom. I haven't unwrapped the towel as it will also be gifted. The $40 value for a beach towel is a bit of a stretch (at least in my world!).

I spritzed the dry shampoo and it sprays like a polar vortex (look out!), and also leaves a white film on my dark hair - even after rubbing it in. Not for me.

Haven't used the shave cream yet but it's in the shower ready to go.

I've loved some of PopSugar's boxes but I'll have to see better coupons and curation improvements before I renew.

This box is really the nail in the coffin that is preventing me from ordering the Summer LE. My May box was in my mailbox today and it's just not interesting.

I already started nibbling on the taffy (the taffy that we got in one of the previous boxes - must have been last year's summer LE box - was way better than this) it is a fun snack and reminds me of the boardwalk.

But everything else is just kind of meh to me. I'm not even pulling out the bud vase or the towel (I got hooked on Turkish Towels after the two from last years LE and regular box inclusions). The vase doesn't really mesh with my decor and the towel, well it's fine but I like my turkish ones better. 

The necklace, I have teeny tiny A cup boobies so it'll work for me but it's something that I would very rarely wear. I might gift this to one of my itty bitty committee friends. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

The shave cream is new to me and I'll use it. But not super exciting. 

Dry shampoo. Ugh. I have enough full and travel sized dry shampoos to last me a lifetime. 

I can't figure out if *I* am just not liking these boxes lately or if PS is really just missing the mark lately. 

 

[beautifulme]

Still waiting on my box, but it's supposed to be here tomorrow  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I may part of the minority but I have, wear, and love a necklace almost exactly like this one (only mine is gold and has a different charm)  and I wear a 34 D bra....I think it looks great with a crew neck plain black shirt. I also get a lot of compliments on it.

 

[northwest22]

Well I received my box today. It's very blah. Won't keep a single item. Some items too heavy to swap. Oh well, you win some you lose some. Two bad ones this year (Feb and this one.) I hope next month is better.

 

[Krystyn Lowe]

I guess I'm in the monitory but I think this is a pretty good box, it's one of the few that I unpacked and immediately used everything but the beach towel. That's going in a closet for summer. The bud vase is so cute with some short stemmed roses I had and I love the necklace, wearing it today. It's a great layering piece. I went spoiler free for the first time maybe ever so yesterday when I got it it was way more fun!

 

[Bizgirlva]

I also got my box today, I'm gifting the bud vase to my mom and the necklace to my sister. I thought the necklace would work for me but it sort of points right at the boobs.

My boyfriend gave me the side eye while I tried the necklace on, as he chomped on the taffy.

I'll use the towel but it's no better quality than the free towels my boyfriends parents got for gambling at a casino.

I'll use the dry shampoo, I like the scent. I'm curious about the shave balm. It already looks better than the cheap gel I'm currently using.

I kinda wish this box had a gifrcard /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Did anyone win the cookies? That was for May right?

 

[girlnamedpete]

I got my box today.  I like the vase but not sure if I will keep it or gift it. It would be a great gift for the holidays or a hostess gift. The taffy was perfect to go in the birthday gift bag for a party my 11 yo daughter is going to tomorrow.  The yellow and pink stripes of the taffy match the tissue in the bag.  I like the necklace.  It is really, really delicate.  I think if I wear it with a simple, crew neck top it will work fine with my "D"'s. ;-)  The towel has way less heft than I was expecting. It's cute but definitely NOT what I would expect from a $40 towel. but I have a thing about cheap linens so maybe it's just me.  I am hoping once it's washed and dried it will be fluffier.  The shave cream and dry shampoo neither here nor there.  All in all it's a decent box.

 

[s112095]

I got mine a couple of days ago and just opened it today. It keeps its meh. The vase is nice but meh... not a huge flower household. If I get anymore dry shampoo I'm going to be really irritated. It's not for everyone. The necklace is ok but mine was tangled so we'll see if it's salvageable. At least I like taffy

 

[nicepenguins]

I like mine--the towel is more like a $20 beach towel to me, and the other items are worth the cost of the box to me (I'd pay $10 for the vase as a cheerful decoration for my office, another $10 for the fancy shave cream and dry shampoo, and probably wouldn't buy the necklace). I paid less than the $40 retail for the box so I'm happy. 

 

[aihutch]

Finally received my box and I agree with others, the towel does not feel like it's worth $40, but I think it's cute and it will get used, so that's good. My taffy was split open down the middle so I tossed it. I don't like dry shampoo on my curly hair, so that goes to my sister and I'm still not sure what to do with the vase (keep or give away); I do like the way it looks. The shave cream smells good and I love the necklace! I was afraid since I have a large chest it would just disappear, but it looks good and is my favorite thing in the box. All in all, I liked this box better than last month and will use more of the items from it.
