POPSUGAR Must Have Box April 2015 Review + Coupon

I wanted to wait to see how the basil grew. The instructions were not hard at all. I punched lots of holes in the bottom of the bag for drainage and now I have 11 little basil plants coming up. I will wait until they are at least 1 inch high and then I will have to find places to plant them around my small yard. They are supposed to be only 12 inches tall and 12 inches in diameter. Shaped like a ball and with small leaves. I have grown this type before and only one can grow in a bag that small. Remember, basil plants around your yard will keep the mosquitoes away. And the tote bag’s wrinkles disappeared after I used it once for the market.

Happy with my box, perfect for spring.

I used the Mott 50 card and bought a $58 white infinity scarf for $42 with shipping. It shipped quickly (less than a week) and came with a canvas tote. I am very pleased – got a Mott 50 scarf with Birchbox last year so can throw them both in the tote for a beach trip!

I really love everything in this box and will use everything except the Mott 50 gift card. If anyone wants this let me know and I will email you the code. [email protected]

Is there something I need to do to get the body serum to spray? It seems to be locked into place!

I just got my box today and it seems a little empty when you open the box, but it’s so nice! I adore the umbrella, it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know an umbrella could close itself. I love the reusable bag too, the little storage pouch it goes back into is so easy, you don’t have to fold it up perfectly. Those two products alone made this box sooooo worth it for me, can’t wait to use them! I was excited about getting a candle but don’t like the scent at all unfortunately. The serum is nice, makes my skin soft and smells good.

I took out a 6 month subscription to Popsugar using the Black Friday deal. How I wish I’d stumped up for a full year!
This has been my favourite box so far, they just keep getting better.
I’ve already planted my basil seeds and check them every 15 minutes to see if they’re growing yet, lol. The umbrella is nuts, if you press the button while it’s in the open position, it closes itself! How cool is that? You do still need to push the stem down, but it’s the easiest umbrella ever.
I’m actually using the serum on my face. Why not? Presumably if it’s good enough for the skin on my body it won’t hurt my face. I love that it’s a spray bottle, makes that extra step a little faster, and it’s huge! About 4fl oz, so will last about a year, I’d guess.
Here’s hoping that another wonderful coupon code comes around for when my 6 months is up in May!

If you missed out or are looking for duplicates, I have a March and an April box, both for sale at cost ($44 + $12 shipping). Email me if interested: [email protected]

I love it! I have yet to be disappointed in PSMH. I love the variety. And if an item isn’t for me, then I have nice items for gifting. It’s like having a personal shopper – with far better taste than I have! Most items this month will end up as gifts, but I appreciate the curation. The practical bag will go to my mother, the cute umbrella to my sister-in-law or niece, the nicely scented (rhubarb!) candle and basil plant I’ll use as a hostess gifts. The only item I’ll use myself is the body serum which I just love! Even though most items will go to others, I think this is a very good box. I think I say this every month – keep up the good work with the variety!

This was my first PSMH box and I am kind of disappointed in some of the items, though it wasn’t a total flop. I love the bag, and like the candle and umbrella. I suppose I can try the Basil bag out, but I do NOT have a green thumb so we’ll see how well that goes.

I’m disappointed that the high value item (serum) is what I am the LEAST interested in, as well as the Mott50 card, I’d love to swap them but I’m on the waitlist for the swap site. xD

Selling my entire April popsugar box please email me if you are interested.

Has anyone contacted PS regarding the disabled coupon code for the candles yet? That was a big bummer…

Does anyone know if you can stack the Mott 50 gift cards?

I am a long time subscriber and I feel like they have a new curator or at least re-imagined the way they do the boxes. In a good way! This April box feels the most Curated of them all, I mean even the candle is a “produce” scent so everything is all to do with Spring, and as fas as not getting a snack I forgot about that! But, I think the Basil is the “food” item and it is the one herb I always seem to want fresh so hooray! I always love beauty items and candles, and love jewelry so am excited for next month(May spoiler lariat necklace) My only complaint is the reusable bag, since I already have a few I don’t need it. But I may end up using it for lunches when my current lunch bag wears out. Overall a nice box.

I resubscribed to PopSugar but thought my subscription started in May. I don’t want this box. If anyone is interested in purchasing my April PS box please let me know.

I love this box again pop sugar shows creative thinking and the umbrella is sooo cute and useful. I can’t wait to see how the basil grows and the best thing is that we have a actual gift certificate to use on items of our choice.
I have the serous to trade if anyone us interested let me know by email.

Loved this Pop Sugar Box. So much better than last month’s!

This candle smells so good! I really would like some cookies in may box. I missed a snack in this box… good I also subscribe to Orange Glad!

I will use almost everything in this box and thing PS is doing a bang-up job as of late on their curation (with a few exceptions like that neon bag last month). The items in this month’s bag are on-theme for April, well-made, and even a little surprising. Something (or someone) has changed at PSMH, and I say Well Done!

While this box isn’t overly exciting, I’m happy to have a new umbrella and look forward to trying the body serum. I adore the candle – scent is great…I would love a candle in every other box! The basil is a cute idea…I’m going to plant it this weekend. Now onto the bag…ugh that bag. I like the idea of the bag, but my bag is beyond wrinkly and the instructions say it can’t be ironed. Overall, I’d give the box 3 stars.

This would have been a perfect box for me if they had just included an actual snack. I know, its childish, but I could have really used a cookie 🙂

I think this box is decent but not great. The candle smells good (is that what rhubarb smells like ? who knew?). The umbrella is fine and seems good quality. The basil is a neat idea but it does seem like a lot of steps and takes 6+ weeks to grow. I havent tried the body spray yet but would prefer a regular lotion vs a spray. i just dont like that sprays seem to get all over the bathroom. i felt like there should just be a few more items in the box for some reason. but overall it was decent. i hope may is better

I was surprised at how much I liked this! LOVE the body spray (just had arm surgery and this makes things easier haha), umbrella is darling and different, yumm basil, the bag will go in my travel stuff since the size is perfect, and I really like the cute candle.

Nothing fancy, but all cute things I’m glad to have. I think we get spoiled sometimes and our expectations are high, but for $40, things will be hit and miss and overall we get to try some great stuff 🙂

Probably my least favorite box so far. I dunno…I get the theme but live in the rain and have a ton of umbrellas which, btw, never get used (true Washingtonians don’t need umbrellas!!!) The basil is eh, and the bag, well I like it, but have a ton of bags. The candle scent in just too strong for my nose, and that leaves…the body serum. I might give it a try, but also may sell all or most of it, or gift it. Feel free to leave your email address if you’re interested in any or all of the box. It would be great if somebody loved it the way it deserves 😉

I tried to use the code produce candles and it tells me the code has been deactivated 🙁
