PopSugar Must Have - September 2014 Box

Introduction - What is PopSugar Must Have?

For those that don't know PopSugar Must Have is a subscription box that you can order at $35.95 a month. They send you a variety of hand-selected items in beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and food. As well, every quarter they come out with a Limited Edition box that costs $100.00.

For those that do not know, I've had mixed experiences with this subscription box.  Negative experience (customer service and with the boxes themselves): Spring LE box. Positive experiences: Sumer LE box, April box, and now the September box.  I would like to point out that I only tried the april and september boxes after a sneak peak was released.  Price wise, I think the monthly subscription box is a better purchase.  I feel the quality, type of items, and number of items is more bang for your buck than the quarterly purchases.

For the record, I would like to state that in no way was I paid to write this blog or given any services by PopSugar for writing this review. I purchased this box on my own.

September Box 2014

After seeing a spoiler for the scarf in the September box, I decided to take the plunge again with Popsugar.  I am very glad that I did.

Included in this box is: Modal Gradation Scarf in Raisin - Tilo Scarves ($125 retail), Stereo Earbuds -  Nicole Miller ($20), Almond Brownie - Urban Remedy ($6), Superfine Purse Size Hair Spray - Orbe ($21.50), Gold Foil Arrow Pencils - Letter C Design ($5), Garance Dore Assorted Girls Set - Rifle Paper Co. ($18). Special Extras included in this box were a $20 Nike Gift Card and Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Sea Salt and Almond Minis. I also found a $10 off any purchase of $50 or more for Urban Remedy.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, I've been sick and opened my box at night when I received it.

My nike $20 coupon also came with a measuring tape! Awesome!

Verdict

I cannot emphasize how happy I was with this box!  This has been my favorite box yet (even more so than the Summer LE box). The value of this box was ~$215+ and I paid $39.95! I can honestly say I will use everything in this box. Even the hairspray. Typically I do not keep beauty items from this box (I don't wear make up too often), but I do have a lot of hair ;)

I also cannot wait to begin using the card set for snail mail with my penpal. (Who I have sadly been neglecting while I worked full time this summer!) Alex I promise I will start sending my letters and cartoons again!

PopSugar Must Have - Limited Edition Summer Box

Introduction - What is PopSugar Must Have?

First, I'd like to start by stating that this is my very first blogpost. I'm creating this blog as a way of cataloging what I get when I order from subscription boxes and of sharing what I like and dislike about them with my family and friends.

I ordered the LE Summer Box form PopSugar and am pleasantly surprised that I love everything in this box. For those that don't know PopSugar Must Have is a subscription box that you can order at $35.95 a month. They send you a variety of hand-selected items in beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and food. However, every quarter they come out with a Limited Edition box that costs $100.00.

For the record, I would like to state that in no way was I paid to write this blog or given any services by PopSugar for writing this review. I purchased this box on my own.

Limited Edition Summer Box 2014

This beautiful black box (the color that LE boxes come in) arrived at my door step 3 days early (after I had just finished ordering for my Golden Tote).

Included in this box is: blue tropics pouch (live, love, aloha on one side), Horn necklace, Eliunt extra virgin olive oil, Tarte cheek stain (was a spoiler),  Tarte lipsurgence power pigment (was a spoiler), Sachajuan Ocean mist (for beach hair), and city rocks glasses (so cute and perfect for my age).

Verdict

I loved this box. I will use almost all of the items (maybe not the cheek stain - but thats because I'm not a make up kind of girl). I will also probably regift the eliunt extra virgin olive oil for my mom since she does most (if not all) of the cooking in our house. 

What was missing...

What I wish this box had included: sunglasses, a beach coverup, and reusable water bottle. (Maybe I'm just comparing this to last year's 2013 Summer LE box, but that box was amazing...I wish I known about PopSugar then!)

For the record, I have tried PopSugar before with the LE Resort Box, but had to return it before it was even shipped. There had been 2 delays in shipping and months had passed since they charged my credit card. I had to become very mean and rude to the customer service people and threaten to file a claim in order to receive a refund (I feel extremely sorry to whoever had to deal with me :( I've worked retail and I know customer service is a hard job). However, this summer box definitely makes up for that negative experience.

For those that are new and want to try PopSugar Must Have or Golden tote (which i alluded to earlier), here are my referral links. I will likely be writing a Golden Tote review of all the items I've received thus far sometime later in the month, as well as a review of my new June tote when it comes in.
