Pop Sugar Green Garmento Four-In-One Reusable Dry Cleaning Bag - Value $9.99

I won't be using this for dry cleaning (I read "dry clean only" as a washing machine challenge) but it will be great to pack for traveling to keep my laundry separate from clean clothes.

Verdict: I'm pretty happy with this box - there are fewer items than previous Pop Sugar boxes, but I like all the items that are included - so it's a win for me! What did you think of the April Pop Sugar Must Have box?

GET50 brings total down to 18.86 Supposed to be for people who have cancelled, but I had to create a new account to use the code. Valid through May 10.

I think maybe the discount is an “I’m sorry” because it seems like a ton of people are unhappy with the past few boxes, April especially.

I really liked this box, except for the garment bag which is kind of meh. I don’t ever take anything in for dry cleaning. I’ll probably use it for separating dirty clothes from clean when travelling. I seriously love the perfume oil though, which surprised me. It smells clean and fresh. Normally I don’t like flowery scents but it works for me. I got the same bracelet you did. I would have loved one of the more colorful ones but it’s still nice. I hope they keep it up.

This was my first Pop Sugar box and I am really disappointed. To me, it is not worth spending money on at all. Unfortunately, I bought it for a set time, not month-to-month, but I will try to cancel anyway. Subscription boxes look like they aren’t my thing.

This was my first box ..although from past reviews it seems a little lite- I am all for the fun of subscription boxes in general- I am giving it a 3 month test before I stay or go.

I wish I’d canceled sooner! This box was it for me. A garment bag? Seriously? Woohoo! I’m going to need to rest from all the fun I’m having.

I have been a popsugar subscriber since September and this is the first box I have been truly disappointed in. I guess it was only a matter of time! The perfume oil was too strong of a floral scent (regifting), the dark chocolate is going to my husband, and the garment bag is meh. I like the blotting papers and the bracelet though. No matter what, I am keeping my subscription, as it still is my favorite box.

This was my first Pop Sugar Must Have box and I’m a bit disappointed. I do like the bracelet, but the perfume is way too flowery for me and the rest are items I won’t really use. Not ready to cancel yet though!

I liked this box, but I didn’t love it. A lot of people have said it felt like it needed one more item and I have to agree. I’m with you on the dry clean only, but I like your idea of using the bag for travel. I love the bracelet, I’m wishing I had put it on this morning!

I know you say you liked the box but looking at the items I have to say I am so glad I canceled Pop Sugar when I did. I wouldn’t have liked any of those items. I did get the Summer limited edition box and I hope that the Nicole Ritchie glasses don’t take up much of the value.

I agree. I canceled last month so I’m glad that I’m not that into this box. I’m considering buying the summer edition, though.
