It’s Subless Sunday! Share with us your excitement and disappointment with the subscription box world!
Bramble is reenacting the look on my face when I found out that I could have purchased the whole November Popsugar box on Rue La La for less than what I paid for the Hostess Stocking Stuffer. I also have not receive a tracking number yet on my PopSugar for Her although Makeup Talk Forum has reports that the box shipped. You can check by creating a free FedEx account. It will show all the boxes heading your way regardless whether the box itself sent you a tracking number.
WAIT!!!!
The Well-Behaved Angelic Christmas Kitty said, ” December is a time of good will and joy. No complaining.”
Bramble attempted to assume an angelic pose behind J’s unfinished tree. “I know!” he said. “How about if the readers share their purchases with us? That’s no complaining, right?”
Without further ado…
Artemis: Sudsy Black Friday Order (the little soap was a free sample). Oh my goodness, the soaps smell amazing!
Sub Bella: I see Orange Cocoa Spice Soap, Woodland Mint Soap, Eucalyptus Lavender Silk Bar, Rosemary Peppermint Soap Sample, and Wild Rose Sea Salt Scrub. It all looks wonderful!
Kelly: Here’s what I’ve received so far from pre holiday sales. I stocked up on Benedetta Creme cleanser and elixir, got some fun soaps from Whipped Upp etsy seller, along with soap dishes from a local boutique during Small business Saturday, to gift with the soap. Thank you so much!
Sub Bella: The soaps and soap dishes are festive! They will make wonderful gifts.
And a bonus!
Artemis shared her AZ Cooper Creation with us! There was a description enclosed. However, for some reason I was not able to access it. I will update it once I have it!
Tell us all! Is there a box that you regret not ordering? An item that you desire? A great box? An amazing item? Share below and whatever else is on your mind!
Thank you for sharing your pictures!
I want to see people’s Christmas trees and decorations! It’s my favorite time of the year. I have not put our tree/decorations up yet 🙁
Sub Bella, I actually did not get a description for my AZ Copper Creations necklace. But I can tell you it is stainless steel, copper and stainless rings and a black hex nut in the middle. I don’t know what that big piece that holds it altogether is called, but I guess that’s stainless too. I know this style isn’t for everyone, but I love it! I forgot to cancel my sub so I’ll get another piece next month, which I don’t mind.
And Kelly reminded me that I forgot to buy a soap dish today despite going out solely to buy that and one other item (at least I remembered the other item).
Would it be crazy to get a Serendipity sub only because I want the Mad Hatter mug? Although if it is crazy, that would be appropriate, no?
Thank you for everything, Subsistahs. I got my Zoe box of style this week, Luxor SE and some laundry soap from J & k soaperie, are on their way.
Omg I want to know what you think! I saw the spoilers and love the ring so much!
I got the Birchbox Charmed Life box for 30% off and I’m very happy with it! Also, I used my Evolli mint chocolate body butter for the first time yesterday… It smelled so yummy I wanted to lick myself like a cat! 😉
I received the Book Riot Best of 2015 box and am happy with 3/4 of the books (I may give the lone book I don’t think I’ll like at some point) and all of the goodies. I also received my Indiespensable sub and will tackle that book over my winter break. I unsubbed from the Bianca Jade box and picked up the Book Riot Quarterly box. (I seem to have a thing for book boxes currently.)
I saw spoilers for the Rachel Zoe box and while it has some nice things in it I’m glad that I dropped that box. It just isn’t my style. I accessorize with cat hair, dog hair, and horse hair so that probably isn’t a surprise.
Cecilia, you sound like you have a very chic wardrobe with your plethora of animal hair! I tend to just go for the false cat fur eyelashes and cat fur hair extensions. Well, at 1 inch they’re not really extensions.
I loved the Book Riot Best of 2015 box! I’m looking forward to the books and the goodies were pretty awesome. The theme for the upcoming Quarterly box is pretty good too – I may resubscribe to that. Indiespensible does pick some great books, but I don’t put any value on hardcovers, first editions, signed copies or a special sleeve. I end up looking up what they sent and then putting it on my Amazon wishlist.
I totally agree with you on the Rachel Zoe box. She does get some good stuff, but other than her last box, I have felt it isn’t my style. I’m still looking forward to Pnut’s review and will look for the spoiler for spring.
I am excited about Zoe coming in look for my review! Ohhhh and I will make that Alexis Bittar ring work on my tiny fingers because it is my first piece and I always wanted an AB piece!
I got some spam mail from Sephora and I was a bit miffed because it said something about being invited but it was not the Sephora sub box invite it was just another ad blast email of Sephora dot com :/
I look forward to your review. I liked the Zoe box and will re subscribe for another year. Whatever I can’t use, like the ring, is easy to swap.
I’ll never be invited either!
Love!!!!!
We have PopSugar Codes! Right now they are only posted on one blog. (redacted) Thank you Heat7918 for letting me know.
ETA: I redacted the link to the blog post because it appears it was posted either early or in error. I do not want to wish embarrassment upon my fellow blogger sisters.
Little Lamb will continue to watch the sky in case the PopSugar codes reappear. Thank you for understanding.
Code not working. Seriously my wallet is open I am not going to pay without a code. Make it work Popsugar. They are losing money as time passes since people have something called budgets and spent their Popsugar money on other subs.
Popsugar: heed Pnut’s warning. My wallet is already begging for mercy. Don’t make me listen.
Hmm, The only thing I can think of is that the codes are not live yet. Maybe they will be live later in the day. I do feel it is shortsighted of PopSugar to post it after the Black Friday deals. Budgets matter to people!
Do they? Doooooooo they????? *as I reach into my wallet to dust off the credit card for some popsugar fun!*
Seriously though you’re right. People might have decided to get other stuff and now don’t have the funds!
Out of the box samplers are open for December (regular and huge). There is a 3 month sub plan starting with January.
The December box main vendor does perfumes so I am passing (is perfume snob). I am also skipping the 3 month sub plan because there does not seem to be a discount the only plus is not worrying to miss a box for 3 months.
So I signed up for Reddit secret Santa this year and received the November beautyfix box. Was extremely happy then found out I have a total of 5 sub boxes headed my way! I nearly fainted from joy!
5 sub boxes from your Secret Santa? Wow!
I love BeautyFix but canceled after November (good box) – partly b/c I have too much stuff and partly b/c I was hoping they’d have a great deal. lol
The December box looks pretty good so I’m debating using a new email to sign up for the box half price… even though heaven knows I don’t need it!
Does anyone know when we might get Herbal Bliss or Kloverbox if we ordered on Black Friday / Saturday? I guess I could try looking at my accounts to see what it says, but that would make too much sense. 🙂
I’ll email Julie to see when Herbal Bliss is shipping in December. Kloverbox has been all over the place with shipping dates. I’ll check with Kelly, but she may not want to commit to a shipping date. It’s been my experience that both boxes generally ship by the middle of the month.
I’ve been slowly typing up my Herbal Bliss Nov Review. I need to come up with a better blogging schedule for Dec. The boys are busy with their events!!!
Kloverbox is aiming to ship by Dec 18th.
Thank you!
Herbal Bliss is shipping on Dec 18th.
I’m a Reddit secret Santa as well! This will be my third year! I always get guys though
The person I gifted to is a guy! A teenager stoner lol.
I WISH mine was a stoner. My guy was a teen who is super good at sports and I STILL need to figure out what to get him but I will by tonight. It is just tough for me! A stoner I could work with because they would like snacks, paraphernalia, and trippy stuff…. I assume….
What I want to know is how Kelly was able to persuade her kitty to sit nicely on the kitty condo and pose for a picture. It’s a great photo!
Abby Dabby loves her Christmas tree, sits there happily. Thank you.
I peeked at the spoilers for Popsugar for Him and Her. I like Him better! My Popsugar for Her is arriving on Thursday. Comment and let me know if you want a quick visual post and see the items either Thursday night/Friday morning. Or do you want a more in-depth review and wait a little longer to see the review?
Ohhh I want the for him box! There’s nothing in the her box I want, but the him has a blanket, a mug, and a bag. It’s very tempting, but I really need to start beefing up my savings.
I do too! I want to tell them to turn around the Popsugar for Her and send me the Popsugar for Him instead.
OK. Popsugar for her is arriving on Thursday. Luxor is arriving on Friday. I won’t have time to review both properly over the weekend. Comment on which one you want to see first!
Right now I am leaning towards liking my Luxor box over the Popsugar for Her box based on the spoilers. That is subject to change once I see it in person.
I want to see Luxor first! That’s my vote. 🙂
My PSMH for him arrived, it will be gifts for my hubby and sons. I am swapping money clip and mug though, my fellas won’t use those. My PSMH for her is set to arrive, as is Luxor and LLB. Thank you lovely ladies.
Popsugar for Her is going to arrive on Friday instead. Luxor arrived a day early. I am going to throw up a quick photo of the Luxor box in a little bit.
My PSMH for her arrived, love the headband.
Love with Food and I have different ideas on what makes a food box a chocolate box!
