Each box comes with a fold out card detailing the items included.

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Magic

Bliss Micromagic Microdermabrasion Treatment - Value $48

This exfoliating treatment is meant to be used once or twice a week, so this tube should last a while. It also gets a ton of 5-star reviews on Sephora!

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Bottle

Greenmarket Purveying Co. The Archivist Lemon + Cucumber Reed Diffuser Kit - Value $20

Greenmarket Purveying Co. is new to me - and I'm excited to see they are located in Pennsylvania and make products with natural and organic ingredients!

This Lemon + Cucumber scent is very refreshing, and a little different than scents I'm used to from home diffusers - I like it!

(This diffuser also came with a 25% off coupon code for your next order at Green Market Purveying - it expires April 30th 2015).

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Pouch

Samudra Pink Pina Zip Pouch (POPSUGAR Exclusive) - Retail Value $40

This pouch is a POPSUGAR exclusive, so it isn't available for sale on their website currently. It is super neon pink, and big enough to hold pretty much everything you'd want to put in it! This will be great inside a beach bag. Here is the Bliss Micromagic in the bag to give a better sense of scale:

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Clear Pouch

This is one of those items that I wouldn't pay the suggested retail price for, but I like it and will use it.

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Pack

Knock Knock What to Pack Pad - $7

Traveling was a theme for this box, and this What to Pack pad is a cute reminder tool. I wish I traveled enough to use all 60 sheets anytime soon, but as someone who always manages to forget something (like a phone charger), this will come in handy.

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Wet Brush

Wet Brush The Squirt - Value $5

I still use my original Wet Brush that I received in the October 2013 POPSUGAR box, and I'm thrilled to have a mini one for travel! This goes straight to my suitcase so I never have to remember to pack it!

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Halfpops

Halfpops in Butter & Pure Ocean Sea Salt - Value $1.69

My husband loves these! POPSUGAR really knows how to pick out snacks for their boxes - I can't remember a box that didn't have a delicious food item.

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Benefit

Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash and Porefessional Minis (Special Extra)

POPSUGAR Must Have Box March 2015 Review + Coupon Roller Lash

Benefit Roller Lash - .1 oz Value $8

Benefit Porefessional - .1 oz Value $4

I have been dying to get my hands on the Roller Lash mascara so I was thrilled to see it in the box! The porefessional is a great product too, so I'm happy about these two travel-sized minis.

Verdict: The retail value of this box is about $134. That's really good for POPSUGAR, and I'll use just about everything, so I'm happy with the value. I can definitely pick up on the travel theme in this box. Comparing it to the February box, this one feels a little more practical, which I imagine is preferred for some, and not for others.

What do you think of the March POPSUGAR Must Have box? FYI - this box is currently sold out, but if you sign up for a subscription and don't uncheck the waitlist box you could still get it!

This box was pretty much a dud for me. I did like the little cosmetics but that was it. Have just received the April box and it is a TOTAL DUD. Plus they forgot to send me the little tote bag. I think I will cancel my subscription after getting this April box.

Is the code a general one or one time use? I can’t seem to find it! I need more diffusers because I LOVE it 🙂

Every item in this box was a hit for me! Perhaps my favorite box in months! The exfoliant or is my new favorite…same for the mascara. I’d never pay retail for the zip pouch, but love it for my pool bag. What a great value this month!

I got the box yesterday and I think I got my moneys worth (bought a six month subscription on Black Friday), but it is definitely one of the more disappointing. I am really happy about the brush, it sounds amazing and just what I need, and I really like the scent of the reed diffuser, and we were in need of something new for the house so we can finally move away from the winter scented candles we have been using (i.e. cinnamon, evergreen, etc.). As for the rest, I hope I can do some swapping. I really just don’t do fancy face stuff, and so I would use the scrub once or twice and then it would just sit around taking up space in my small bathroom, the packing sheets are cute, but we live in a small space so I don’t need something I will use only a few times a year, and the bag is a good size, but I have a ton of them already and I just found out I am allergic to pineapple, don’t need the reminder regularly.

I finally just got my box and i am not thrilled the bliss treatment i am sorta scared about using on my sensitive skin but maybe i will try on my hands/body. Im happy for the roller lash but may $39 is a lot to spend for a mini mascara ! the reed difuser is ok not something i would normally buy but im happy to try it. my popcorn was chipotle bbq and not for me. the pouch is fine but again over priced. i guess i just dont see the value for me personally and would have rather spent $40 on other things.

I really think it should have been a full sized Roller Lash. Benefit mini’s are given out now like candy on Halloween. And a bigger bag of popcorn would have been nice as well. Not really diggin this box the more and more I look at it. Hope April is better.

I think even PopSugar knows this box isn’t impressive. If you look at their webpages and social media sites, they still haven’t released any publicity photos of this box like they have with past boxes. Sorry to sound harsh, but I don’t think there probably isn’t a photo stylist in the world who could make this box look exciting or enticing enough for advertising. There really isn’t much here to brag about. The $134 value they placed on this box is definitely a stretch considering it mostly looks like inexpensive drugstore finds or free samples. Definitely not one of their better boxes. But it seems like Feb and Mar were bad months for a lot of subscription boxes. Here’s to hoping April will be a comeback month!!

Got an email today saying I was getting the March box as my first box instead of the April box. Unfortunately I don’t really like or plan to use any of the items in this box except for the diffuser. Oh well, maybe I can trade everything else.

I just subscribed and am trying to figure out which box I will receive. I have already been billed so is it likely I will receive this box?

I also got this email, and while this box isn’t hitting it out of the park for me it might get me a few things to put up for swap and a few things I will use.

I didn’t think I would like this box, until I recieved it yesterday. I love the diffuser it already has made my home smell nice, it is great since I have a dog.

The bliss facial thou not vegan will be a nice treat to do weekly with the hubs.

The wet brush I was most suprised with.

Can’t wait to try the roller lash and pore minimizer next week when I travel for work

And the pink bag, I thought was overpriced but someone mentioned we can use it on the beach which i thought was a better option to use it, rather than putting my phone, money n credit cards in plastic bags 😉 yay!

I must be PopSugar’s exact target audience (and if so, what a strange audience to target) because I have loved every single box I have received since I started getting them December 2013.

I am 33, own a house, no kids and travel a lot. I LOVE getting things like hand towels or fancy soaps because those are things I constantly use, but never justify spending money on really pretty ones. I absolutely adored the heart cheese plate and knife last month because we eat a lot of cheese in this house and it’s the perfect size for making a snack and carrying to the table or couch. I like getting makeup, but I don’t need a whole box full of it every month. I use Bliss products so I was excited there was a massive tube of product in there and the Benefit ones this month were the perfect size to throw in my purse and also, products I had really wanted to try but again, couldn’t justify a new mascara purchase.

The reed diffuser? Set it up immediately in my kitchen and my roommate came downstairs 5 minutes later and asked, what smells so good? All natural and made the house smell instantly amazing.

I travel so much and I love whenever I get minis or travel things in the box, so the travel pad was cute (just sort of wish it had a magnet on it so my roommates and I could all just grab a sheet off the fridge, but I could add that easily) and the pink bag looked totally leak proof, again, perfect for traveling.

And I always love the food because there is never any junk food in our house and a once a month treat is such a great surprise.

I don’t know, maybe the ladies who put this box together are of a similar age and lifestyle as me, because they really nail it every month for me. I don’t even really shop that much anymore because if I am craving something, the box usually has exactly what I want that month. (I think that probably says a lot about the magazines/advertising I read because I was really curious about the Benefit products and then BAM there they were in the box. Good Synergy. although maybe they fail at that with me because I never actually go out and buy the products in the box. ha).

Halfpops, idk about these, seems like something that would give your dentist more work to do. I tried some, but am worried. Probably cause I have a root canal and cap over a tooth that a hard kernel of popcorn cracked.

Could someone please invite me to the swap site? I ordered both the March and Resort box and plan on swapping a few items (or even the whole box). Please let me know.

Karen, I think you just need to send an email to Liz requesting to be added to the swaps. They usually add people to the swaps every 2 weeks, the send you a link, I believe.

I’m confused. My credit card has been charged and refunded on March 4. (I signed up in February and received a Feb box.) The site says I’m still getting the March box. Anyone have this happen before?

Alanah

This happened to me too – charged 3/4 and refunded 3/5. I emailed customer support and they said “Hi Alanah,

Thanks for reaching out to us. We apologize for the confusion with your subscription. You were billed and refunded in error. No worries. You are still set to receive March’s box. We will attempt to bill you again in the next few business days.

Best,

POPSUGAR Support”

Cool thanks! I feel better now. 🙂

Hi! I signed up for PSMH on 3/5 – the day before it was announced that March sold out. I checked the box to put me on the March waitlist – does anyone know when I might find out if I’m getting the March box? Right now, my profile says my next box is April and it’s “processing.” Thanks!

I’m really not thrilled about this box. This will be my first box and it hasn’t even shipped yet but there is nothing in this box that I really want. If there is anyone who really wants it I’d be willing to sell or swap all or parts of it. I’m willing to discuss any swaps but I’d be really interested in getting my hands on just about anything from the January LLB.

This box isn’t as good as the past few months but it’s not bad. I like the overall theme to it but I feel like for $40 there should’ve been more value.

Is there a way to get just 4 sheets of that checklist? My sister, BIL and nieces are going on a trip to Mexico. My sister and the girls first time out of the Country and that list looks PERFECT! It would make a great pre-trip gift! I would hate to purchase a whole pack. No one I know travels that much and it would be a waste. Any ideas?

If they fit in an envelope, I would be happy to send you some of mine. I may not get it until this weekend though. 🙁
