POPSUGAR Must Have Mini Box Review – October 2016

I personally love the box! 🙂 My blush combo came broken, but Popsugar usually does an amazing job fixing things so I’m not worried. I love the socks.. and personally, I like the sticker. My computer can use a hint of rainbow!

I really am not happy with this box. I seen some items in the past I loved. I liked last months and had hopes for better boxes. Even with the new lower price if they can’t offer better items I’m going to end my subscription. I would rather have one good item and maybe 1 or 2 cheaper items then all bad. This was a miss, the regular box was not that great. I hope the mystery boxes are good.

Very underwhelmed. I had unsubbed months ago and just resubbed last month because I liked the Sept spoilers (heartbeat necklace and lash kit) and thought they were making a comeback, of sorts. Then I see bronzer and socks and a dumb sticker for Oct. I wish more boxes would include spooky or autumnal things in Oct boxes. Not bronzer and stickers. I like the socks but not twenty bucks worth. I am ghostgirl pale and I don’t use bronzer. Thought I was ‘safe’ resubbing for fall after skipping all the summer boxes. Nope. A fall scented candle would have been a more appropriate inclusion. Right now I’m just gonna be happy that there’s no sea salt spray and the price is going down in Nov. I may be happier with the box overall at a lower price point.

This box is the worst so far for me. Didn’t want the blush/bronzer duo when it was in today show box and still don’t want it now. It seems out of place in an October box anyway to me as I only use these duos in spring/summer. The rainbow sticker isn’t my style and neither are the socks (I only wear low cut). It seems especially odd that they would recycle old products in new (other than mystery) boxes when one could easily swap for past items!

The price looks good and I was considering it until I saw the childlike sticker and socks.

I did not buy the today box, although I have bought every single $100 LE in the last 2 years or so. I got at the bubble bath and the glasses in the last mystery box and when I saw this compact, I literally screamed with joy. I do not really care for socks but they can be easily gifted.

I just realized I was really ranting about this box in the comment above, lol. I love PopSugar and even though this box is a miss for me I can gift the bronzer/blush duo( not sure if it will work with my skin but will test before I gift to a family or friend) will wear the socks and put to use the sticker eventually. As I stated early I’m hoping the last two boxes of the year will be hit for me. Have an amazingly fabulous day ladies.

Some people are never happy lol. People have been begging Popsugar to include LE items in these mystery boxes they are sending out and they finally include one in the mini box and people are pissed. I mean really?

My box has not come yet but I feel that the blush/bronzer was a let down from previous boxes. So disappointed…..Stickers?really?socks? I know that this company can come up with some items that wow us again. The boxes say must have right? I wonder where this company is going?

This would be a good box if the Ciate product wasn’t a repeat. I was in on the first few months of the mini but canceled after the sunscreen/ice tray one and haven’t been sorry. It does seem they’re making an effort to round it out with 3 items though, which is nice. Might look for those socks in swap.

So an $8 … Sticker?

Oh man. Repurposing an item like that screams financial problems. I can see adding it as a GWP or a special extra but…. wow. Adding it as one of the main items is really low. I’m sure some people are happy to receive it, but from a business standpoint it seems to signal a problem. I think there seems to be a steep decline in quality recently and this worries me.

I really, really love popsugar. A lot. I find that most boxes are super fun and useful even if not exciting at all (see: October box). But I am starting to get really worried about the future of these boxes. While October was cozy/fun, I can’t get over the $58 (free GWP/non automatic) umbrella. These things are just really suggesting a nosedive. The only reason you do those things is to save money.

I’ve also noticed they are sending boxes
to bloggers and Instagram influencers to push HARD on selling.

Just a side note, I think the curation is excellent in terms of the limited boxes. They’re consistently on/before trend. I hope they turn it around with the monthly boxes. I don’t want this to be taken as a smear campaign against then because I love them. Just worried. ?

I’m really not happy with this box. I already have the blush from the Today’s show box and I didn’t need another one. For the first time, I am considering cancelling. This just does not compare to how much I like Serendipity which costs me less.

I’m excited, I didn’t get the Today Show box, but loved the spoilers. So I’m happy about all three items this month. 🙂

Ugg, an awful box, a product from a previous box a kitsch patch I already got from the Power Your Happy event(I believe this is the same one) and socks really! Not impressed and I had missed one month from my intial subbing of the mini and was excited to sub again! Boy I hope next month is better!

This looks like a really great box! Popsugar site indicates this box is sold out! 🙁

I love the socks! I wouldn’t like to receive a duplicate though from another PS box though.

So annoying. I already have the blush from the Today Show box. I hated it the first time too. Makes me want to cancel the mini. Recycling leftover items from previous boxes is not cool.

Hey, Liz!!

Do you by chance know when the Mystery Boxes will start shopping? So curious what items they are going to be putting into it this time!! 🙂

Seriously cannot decide about the mini box. I have purchased every single mini box so far, but I have only actually liked about 30% of the items…yet for some reason I keep subscribing and feeling let down/underwhelmed when it arrives.
