I love subscription boxes and have had several from various companies. The fall of 2018 was a nice box. However, I wish the scents and colors of the products were customizable. I did not care for the scent of my candle. The color of the lipstick does not work for me, wish the accessory organizer came In other colors. They do have bonus items that really increase the value. My box was worth about 350. I spent 75. Not bad at all
I bought an annual subscription. They don't ship quarterly at all. Bought 8/29. First shipment 11/11. Inquired 2/24 where next one was and they said it should ship in a few more weeks. A quarterly shipment should have been sent by 2/11. They said I can't get any refund for the subscription despite their lack of fulfillment so I'll dispute with my credit card company.
Popsugar is a media company that thrives only because of paid advertorials. You people do realize their "must have" products from their old box and talked about in their blog are there because brands paid to have them there, right? Apparently not.
Popsugar was originally created by Lisa Sugar, a celeb gossip hobbyist and Brian Sugar, Lisa's hubby. It began with a fun idea that has spiraled downward into the debacle it is today. It's as though since Group Nine Media bought it, it's gone to hell. It's really, really bad.
Originally they had a decent concept. There was a box, there were interesting articles. Now it seems they're all over the place; it's become a train wreck, the box and their mini box have ended, their old "text to buy" whatever their "must have" item was didn't work (my and my friends' texting for "yes" never went through.) They have struggling beauty brands and the website is filled with articles that are an unreadable mess. If a teenager can hack Twitterthen a media company should be able to create a useable website.
That shopping option never worked and the items were EXCRUCIATINGLY overpriced for unknown brands.
They seem to focus ONLY on new and unknown brands that paid to place absurdly high prices on their wares. Bad idea.
Next, whoever is writing those articles... all I can say is there's apparently no cure for stupid. "Be careful not to buy WIC items during the pandemic?" Are you SERIOUS? You DO realize the "approved WIC brands" (if all bought out due to a pandemic) would be replaced by available brands, right? Clearly this wasn't researched. Then we have articles entitled such as "Check out these 4 interesting..." which, for example, will only have 2 listed. The writing is just bad.
There are so many pop ups and linked articles in each post that it makes it IMPOSSIBLE TO READ so I end up closing the site because I just can't get to the meat of an article for the badly placed SEO, links within text and those gawdawful popups. It makes me not want to buy whatever product is listed just in principal. Terrible, obvious advertorials.
The "shop" section looks like old reposts of said "advertorials" and it makes the reader's brain hurt.
I won't even go into the racism. It's unbelievable.
Demographics are all over the place. Articles from Popsugar used to come up in the first page of Google whenever I looked anything up. Now? I actually have to look Popsugar up in and of itself to see if they've written anything on the subject or product I'm researching.
Popsugar used to be at least somewhat trustworthy. I have no idea what's happened but it's absolutely a nightmare. I'm pretty sure Group Nine Media bought it just to crush it out. That's the only reason I can come up with as to explain what's happened to that site.
This site is okay, but there are way too many ads. Whenever i try to read something i have to constantly click the next button and i keep accidentally clicking on ads. It makes me not want to ever go on this site. I would not recommend it.
40 bucks a month is what you will pay to receive the must have boxes by PopSugar. They hv recently added a mini for 18.95. I so far hv only received 1 box and will be getting Aprils box. The method Im using to determine which subscription boxes I will subscribe to is the 3 strikes method. All of these subscription boxes are a gamble but for 40 bucks a month I think its overpriced. The worth of the boxes are based on the suggested retail price. Even with the mini your only getting 2 items I just think its overpriced, over hyped. The items should be better quality and I think you should get alot more items in a 40 dollar box. They hv special edition boxes that cost 100. Dont fall for the hype you can get 3 other beauty boxes for the price of this 1 box. And when you dont know what your getting its too high of a price. If you like certain items go to eBay and you will probably find it for sale. Its the best route to go if you hv a tight budget. The quality of the items the number of items you get just dont cut it for me. Dont get caught up in the hype be smart. Most of these bloggers, and vloggers are getting these boxes for free. Even if I received it free to review I would still feel the same some praise these companies just so they can continue getting free items from other companies that want good reviews. I know Im long winded and probably rambling so I apologize for that. Long story short its not worth the money.
