Update: review + giveaway!
Wooo, here’s some spoilers based off a photo that appeared on Instagram of the February Popsugar Must Have Box! There may be variations and whatnot and you can see all the MUT ladies breaking it down here.
- Gorjana & Griffin “Brooks” Jewelry Roll ($45)
- Sugarwish Candy ($?) I hope it’s not actually licorice. Looks like it may be cinnamon hearts. I don’t care if Sugarwish charges $25 for a pound of candy, a pound of candy is worth about $5. I doubt this is a pound!
- Nourish Organic Argan Face Serum ($24)
- NCLA Nail Polish ($16) See this polish – Rodeo Drive Royalty – in the Poshly Polished review I wrote this morning!
- Model Co Lip Pops Duo Lip Gloss and Lipstick ($? new product?)
- k. hall Designs Peony Candle Tin ($11)
- Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash ($2-3) Um WTF.
- There also appear to be a lipgloss and nailpolish – more details may come to light later on today!
This is a great box, except for the Dial. It shouldn’t be in this box at all! My husband will use it, but what a cheap/odd product to stick in there! I suggest if you bought this box as a gift for someone… to perhaps remove that item. I think it would improve the presentation! I don’t see how it is a “Must Have” item. I see that it is an “improve the bottom line” item perhaps!
While we are on the topic of Popsugar, the Wet Brush from a couple months ago is up on Living Social! $9 plus $4 shipping. Everyone still RAVES about it and we do too!
Comments
My Gorjana bag came scuffed and my candle was open. Is this how everyone else’s candle came? I email PS about the bag because it’s clearly a slightly damaged good from the vendor. I am waiting on their response. I may have to touch it up with red paint or something. 🙁
No I didn’t have this problem. What do you mean the candle was open? like the lid was off? Must have happened in shipping – did your G&G bag come in plastic?
The bag came in tissue paper wrapped in a plastic bag. After I commented, I went to take a picture of the area that was damaged and the rope almost came completely off! It’s now hanging by 1 little thread when all I did was unroll it. I sent pics to PS. I ordered a brown one in December and the quality of that one isn’t awesome but it’s still much better than the red!
The candle actually had the lid on the BOTTOM. So it was wide open. No way that happened in shipping. It was like someone played with everything in my box before packing it up! I LOVE PS but this just made me rethink my subscription. I hope this month was just a fluke and the remaining 3 months of my 6 months have no issues!
That’s totally messed up!! They won’t get back to you until Monday I am sure, but hopefully they’ll just replace everything for you! Weird weird weird!
Yeah, disappointed about the Dial and the candy. I would have thought they would pick something more interesting than red hots. I am glad to have the Jewelry roll and the Gorjana gift code, since Gorjana is one of my faves. The modelco duo also looks cool, and while I like the idea of the nail polish, it looks too similar to about 4 colors I already have.
xo.
jenn @ hello, rigby!
Ewwwww, I hope it’s not licorice! Yuk..Yuk.
Seriously – DIAL?!?!
Got my box today! Not a bad February even though I was hoping for jewelry. XD
I had the worst time trying to get that candle in a collage. I just gave up on it!
LOL I couldn’t get my magic eraser to work so I just threw it in there. I’ll have the box soon anyways, big deal!
Wow – I didn’t know licorice lowers potassium levels. I do like licorice on occasion but, chocolate is always welcomed in my home especially for V-Day! I guess I’ll give the Dial to my husband for Valentine’s Day – lol. I’m horrible!!
Totally agree with you about the Dial – I mean that’s what my husband buys on a normal basis – I want luxury brands not generic store brands. LOL 😉
And please be chocolate instead of the licorice!
Yes, no licorice! To be fair the licorice in the picture looks like a photo card. I hope it’s not actually licorice. I can’t even pawn it off on grampa anymore because of his heart. It lowers your potassium levels and he isn’t allowed to eat it – and it’s his FAVE. I bet my hubby would eat it, but still, I want something for moi. As is often true, it’s a better box without the dial. If we don’t need it we will add it to the donation pile!
