POPSUGAR Must Have Box July 2016 Review + Coupon

Liz, you always do such great reviews! I always love every PopSugar box I get and I wait until I open it before I read your review. I like being suprised. But after I read it I feel doubly lucky with the items I received because you have such great desciptions and ideas for the items.

Thanks for all of the great reviews!
I wanted to mention that the free brow wax is for new AND existing customers (it says that on the card on the bottom). The free wax European Wax Center offers is only for first time customers. So if you are already a customer (like myself) you can get a free wax which adds value to the box for me☺.

I was really disappointed with this months box.

I have been a PS subscriber since July 2013. I recently had a garage sale and realized I was selling three years of Popsugar box miscellany that I never used. The sad part is, I couldn’t get rid of most of it for .50c at a garage sale!!

AND this box was just another box full of chachkis. For me, its more about using the items than dollar value of the box, PS isnt the value it used to be.

Killin’ it with this new review approach. You really stepped up your game Liz. Looking great in the photos too.

Great review. I feel like I hardly use to see you but now your back in action and you always bring your furry friend which is always such a bonus. I also love the clean lines of your photos too. Its great for really seeing the product and its colors and so on. I can not wait to get my 20 dollar box. I have only ordered one mini from PopSugar and that was it even though I normally am in love with this supscription sometimes 40 can be to much for my broke asssss. I also think fall and winter boxes just scream me me me. I hope they have more of these 20 dollars boxes every few months, and can the mini…… Am I right?

Liz~ I’m so sad. I use that flower next to my name on almost (if not every) comment I make on here!!! ??? But, I still love you! This was a great review. I think because it was my first month without PSMH in my life.. Now I want to order again. It was my gateway box.. It’s right up my alley. Cute stuff, I’d probably never buy but would be expected to own. (if that makes sense?)
xo?

It’s this review that makes me appreciate the contents of this box even more! Love the head wrap idea! I’m going to turn it in the side for a different look ?
I have been underwhelmed though with the past few months boxes. I finally subscribed and I haven’t been wowed. I ordered the Jan and Dec box on sale and fell head over heels for Popsugar. The Jan canvas bin and organizing book “sparked joy” for me. But recent boxes have not.
I have a feeling I’ll like the Mystery box better than this months.

I got a flamingo pin from Urban Outfitters. I’m so disappointed – I really wanted the pineapple!

Easily the most disappointing PSMH I’ve ever received. I don’t know if I can even gift any of the items. I hope they swap well!

I love the swan drink holder, then again I have a pool so I could actually use it. I may and see if I can swap for it, except I don’t have a lot to swap just yet. Glad I didn’t get this one after much debate, but have to agree that your review really amps up an otherwise ‘meh’ box! 🙂

Nice review, I still think this is a box of misses for me. I live in Florida and have short hair so the scarf is a no go for me. Hard to consider when it’s 97 outside. The swan and the pineapple pin are not my style and I don’t have a pool. The napkins might be a good giveaway with a bottle of something.

Wow, I am glad that I didn’t renew after my six month subscription ran out!

I’m pretty new to the swap boards. Even with the great review, this box isn’t speaking to me. Is there an option to list the whole box to swap, or do items have to be listed individually?

@Liz, you consistently give great, detailed, reviews. I just wanted to say that I found this review exceptional. Including the detailed instructions for one way to wear the scarf, the cute idea for the swan inflatable on land, etc. really brought something extra! The scarf tied as a headband looks so cute on you! It has me hoping that I can pull that look off. Thanks for all the time and work that you put into this site!

For some reason I thought that those cute clue glasses would be included with the swan. It’s my own fault for assuming that, but still such a downer. I like the idea of using it for picnics/outside drinks though.

The scarf annoys me because it’s such low quality– just a cheap strip of fabric. A headband is really the only thing it’s good for.

The napkins are cute though. I like that the highlighter has a smudger. And the chips were tasty.

I’m over 50 but when I saw the spoilers I renewed my subscription – I had been subscribed for a couple of years but had cancelled after May, planning on renewing to get a 6-month discount. I didn’t bother in June though – the box was just not very exciting. One of the things I like about PopSugar is that it makes me try things I might not otherwise get – whether it’s trendy apparel and jewelry that I might not know I could pull off or makeup and beauty products that I wouldn’t buy at full price. This box fits the bill – it’s fun and has things I wouldn’t think to try but still has a couple of things that I know will be useful (the scarf and brow highlighter) if the other items don’t work out. I LOVE the idea of using the swan at a picnic to hold drinks – that would have been great for 4th of July in the park. I had planned to give it to a cousin who has a lake house but I might just keep it for myself!

I also like how they managed to find items that we haven’t been getting swamped with. It has to be a challenge to keep the boxes from all looking the same.

Great review, Liz! ?? As for the pin, I use them for push pins on a corkboard. They work great! ?

Liz, you really know how to create magic reviews. This one felt a little targeted to a younger audience (younger than more boxes they put out in general) and you knew how to market it to the masses. Fab use of visuals and “tips” too! Kudos.

I always try to reserve judgement until your reviews…and you did it again!! Thanks for taking the time and thinking of all the fun ways we can use the stuff. You’re the best in the biz.

oh my!!! I love that pin and while looking at their site i see they are launching a sub!!!! So excited!!!

Great review of a box I honestly only wanted the hair SPF/ styler out of. You make it a very fun review by thinking outside the box! I’ll be searching the swap boards for the hair item, also if anyone doesn’t want their Bowie lightening bolt pin & can’t get a replacement, I’d love to have it, so pretty please let me know if you want to swap. (I’ll be posting loads more items to swap in the next few days and love giving lagniappe with every swap!)

As for ideas for the pin, my 16 year old wears them as an earring. Not what would do, but does look cute. I put pins on hats! I also sometimes use them to add a little extra when I tie a scarf to my handbag (hate brollies, so always have a hat or scarf in case of rain). They do look cute in bunches in a lapel, just make sure it’s not the side you would put a shoulder bag over- I’m a switched lefty & lost so many antique pins that way. Also used them to hold a sarong in place (more for decor) and to close a too low cut blouse, or change the look of a simple tee by ruching a bit, putting the pin in place et Voila! A cute v-neck change to an average tee. Did the same when a dress was too high cut and looked awful until I changed the neckline. Love how you used the scarf & the inclusion of a tutorial. So many ways to style that type of scarf, maybe next time try a modified turban style, especially if headed to pool or beach. Super easy & a cute change with some verve (which you can totally pull off- if you need help, happy to talk you through various ways to play!) I’m glad you’re getting less camera shy and showing your lovely creative self- keep it up, we love it! Much love ⚡️Jet

Liz, I love your reviews. It’s so helpful to see the products in action! I love the way you used the scarf as a head band, it looks great on you. Of course I think everything would look great on you! Popsugar should have you on their payroll, you just sold the box for them!

Thanks for modeling, Liz! It definitely helps make the reviews stellar, plus you look as gorgeous as usual! Thanks for the review 🙂

It never fails…a post with full PopSugar spoilers comes out, and everything seems uninspired. Then Liz does her review, and it looks so much better! Liz, you find the bright side and fun in everything!
