I have used every single product since the MINI Started. I don’t need anything extravagant. Basic works for me. I’ll use the lotion, the notepad AND the eye pads (even if they are expired). The mini and the full box are the only “for me” products I buy, so – these are fun! 🙂

Just wanted u guys to know, I got my box and my eye pads expired 8/1/16. I know it’s only a week or so out of date but still wanted to mention it in case it’s important to some people. I received the coconut version and they burned a little so I just read on the back to see if this was normal and found the exp date.

Just received mine and the expiration says EXP 8/1/16 as well. (Will change my profile pic to reflect). I see PopSugar’s response but find it a little disconcerting that items go out with expired expiration dates but reportedly they aren’t expired… Right into the trash this bonus item goes.

Hi there! I’m writing from the Member Services POPSUGAR Must Have team. We confirmed with the Vendor, Eyes by TOGOSPA, that this product does not expire until 1/2/2017. There may have been an error on your package. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to send a replacement! Cheers!

Glad to see they’re doing 3 items this time instead of 2, that makes a big difference in the overall “feeling” of a box’s value. However, the items themselves? Glad I cancelled after June. They need to study LLB’s Serendipity for ideas on how to make a mini version of their box work.

I’m not impressed at all with the products I’ve been seeing. A notepad!!!–Really?? I have so many frigging notepads already, no thank you. My other subscription boxes are way more fan than Pop Sugar seems to be. I always have an eye out for a new one. I will keep reading all the great reviews from you Ladys!

You are vet right i think they are fizzled and trying for a third time comeback the mini box was the second and adding another product might mean a third. Could this mean allot of folks are tired of the dollar store themes and products. I canceled and thought hummm they are having the cargo blush so i rejoined in hours that they would get beret if not i will press cancel again.

I see those ToGoSpa eye patches at TJ Maxx for super cheap all the time.

Adding the extra item is nice, although the note that says “it’s on us” is kind of strange.
Reply

That’s just to make you think you are getting something for free. It’s a brain trick. I think they realized the box value was not there and had to add another item hoping more ppl don’t cancel.

Exactly. And the email I got yesterday calls it a “free bonus item.” It’s a little too much. I’d rather them just say “hey, this box has three items. Here is what they are” and leave it at that.
Barbara
Agreed….it sounds like the extra item may have been a one time “treat”

Pretty content on passing on this box. I just cancelled for this month, and I figured I could just swap for anything I felt I really needed. Honestly, since the mini came out I’ve been subscribing, and I haven’t received anything I’ve been truly excited about. Love the full-sized box, though!

This will be my 1st box and I am excited.

By this time every month, I’m always desperate for regular Must Have Box spoilers. It kills me that the Mini box spoilers always come out first!!!!! ?

Oh! They added an item; that’s progress. It’s not enough to make me regret canceling, but I’ll be open to re-subbing if they continue to improve.

I definitely concur.

I’m liking it more and more, but still think they need to include a snack…

That’s so true — I’m so happy to see three items here (it’s like they’re listening)! But I wish the third item were a small, tasty treat!

Same – I am glad that they added a third item, but I wish the third item was a food item. I say that because I think it fits more in line with the PSMH style AND it allows them to have more costly items for the other two for a greater value (although I believe this is the highest value one they’ve had so far).
However, I’m still not jumping. I have lotions and notepads/notebooks out the wazoo.
I’ve found that I have really enjoyed the mystery box I purchased and the June box that I just purchased on Gilt City and I do hope they continue to give opportunities to buy past boxes like that. I just find I don’t love enough of the items in each box to subscribe to either the full box or the mini.

Cancelled a couple boxes back now and have yet to completely regret it. The only thing this month that I would have liked is the notepad.

Same here – I liked the 1st two (which I did not get); so I subbed, hated the 2 boxes I did get, so I cancelled.
So the 2 I got I hated, the 3 I did not get I would have liked. (can’t win sometimes)
Not willing to risk anymore. I have found other boxes I am happier with.

I’m tempted to get this because the value is there but I’m already drowning in lotion. Seems like there has been a lot of lotions in boxes this summer.

Oh course right when I cancel is when they decide to include 3 items… eh oh well they’re pretty meh? I’m excited for the regular box though!

I was thinking the same!But since I have no use for more lotion,I will be content with canceling.

I’m loving this box. This seems to fit with the Aug theme for the PSMH. Is the theme usually for both boxes?

Yay! I feel like they have been listening to us. 2 items were just not doing it! I love Clean perfume and wear the Blossom version. Excited to try their lotion. Love those eye pads, have tried them through Ipsy. Also love anything I can use to write lists and organize!! A very useful box for me!
