Happy almost Thursday everyone!
PopSugar Must Have subscription box is in! For those who don’t know, PopSugar Must Have Box is a monthly box that includes items that range from fashion, beauty, home, fitness and food, making it a well rounded subscription box. All items are full size and valued at over $100. This box is$39.95 per month while the new PopSugar mini box is $18.95.
The themes and inspiration for this month’s box.
Sachajuan Hair in the Sun, $32
A UV hair protector for the hair, this will protect your strands from damaging UV rays, keeping your hair color vibrant that will stay on until you shampoo your hair. I used this a few times but I haven’t really been out in the sun to see how it fully works. It smells nice though and seems to make my stands softer.
European Wax Center Oh My Brow! Brow Highlighter in Pearl, $19
This highlighting illuminator is multifaceted. Use it to lift brows by blending it along your brow bone, widen eyes by applying it on your inner corners, add glow to your cheekbones or add a romantic touch to your lips by dabbing it above your cupid’s bow. Always great to have a highlighter pencil on hand as they are easy to use and you can apply them quickly.
Michael Stars Porcelain Skinny Scarf in White, $30
This skinny black and white scarf can be dressed up or down by wrapping, knotting or draping it over your ensembles or can double as a headband. *Sigh* Another scarf type thingy. I think we’ve had about 3 in a row already. I appreciate that this is skinny so perhaps I’ll use it as a headband or maybe to accessorize a handbag.
House of Pom Emoji Cocktail Napkins, $25
Designed with House of Pom, these exclusive cocktail cloth napkins allow you to serve up icy-cold drinks with cute emoji designs that are oh so #instagrammable. One of the better items in this box, these napkins are adorable. I’m glad they are cloth material as you can reuse the cuteness.
Joe Chips Classic Sea Salt Retro Potato Chips, $1.49
These kettle chips are an all-American classic that will give you the old-school crunch you crave. I tried a few chips and they really weren’t anything different than Lay’s. I kind of wish they had offered different flavors instead of a plain one but well, less calories, right? I’m always happy to see a food item in a box.
SunnyLife Inflatable Swan Drink Holder, $18
Float up to four beverages poolside with this inflatable swan so you’ll never have to leave the water. Even though you don’t have a pool this can also serve its function on any table. I don’t have a pool so I might gift this. I think it’s much better suited for the pool than a table.
Pintrill Pineapple Pin, $12
Use this pineapple pin to pin your skinny scarf into place. It’s a cute pin but I don’t see much use for it. Personally, I would have preferred the pineapple ice cub tray that was featured in the PopSugar Must Have Mini.
Trove $20 Gift Card (Special Extra), $20
A $20 gift card to treat ourselves to on-trend, customizable jewelry. I probably won’t redeem this because I hardly can remember to wear jewelry and everything on there is very pricey.
Overall, I was disappointed with this box and for the moment, I’ve cancelled my subscription with PopSugar. While I’ve loved past boxes, I’ve been accumulating a lot of stuff I don’t use and certain items are being repeated. Maybe in the future I’ll give it another go but it’s goodbye for now. 🙁
What are your thoughts on this box?

Oh those cocktail napkins are precious! They look really well-made too. That’s probably my favourite items in the box – the rest are ok. The scarf is nice but I’ve got SO many scarves!
I was happy they weren’t paper. Yes the scarf is nice but they already sent like similar items 3 times in a row. It gets tiresome though I will miss the food aspect, lol.
Yah I see why you were disappointed with this – I would be too. I hate it when subscription boxes repeat items – isn’t the whole point to receive different things? ?
I mean I understand that certain items will inevitably be repeated, however three times in a row? I really loved this box but it’s time to take a break from it.
I really wanted to love this sub but each box has been so blah lately that I keep holding off from ordering one. I think the cocktail napkins you got are cute but they are white and white with juice and alcohol does not mix well. I also feel like they’re ALWAYS sending scarfs. The drink holder is cute but like you I don’t have a pool so I wouldn’t use it either. Sorry you ended up canceling 🙁 BUt at least now you’ll have $40 a month to play with!
I loved it and recommended it at as you know but lately I feel I’m just accumulating a lot of stuff I’m not using. Yeah, that’s the only downside about the napkins- water only to be safe. I have about 4 scarfs now and I really haven’t worn them. I’m sad I cancelled but $40 is $40. I will miss the food items though. That was the best part most of the time. 🙂
Awe, maybe you could try a food subscription!?
I was thinking that but it would have to be healthy. :/ It’s sooo hard sometimes. Any good ones that you can recommend or have heard good things about?
I like Love with Food! It’s pretty cheap and you get to try a variety of gluten free, nut free, dairy free type things in the form of candy, chips, granola bars and sometimes seasonings and stuff.
I’ll check it out. The only thing is that I have a soy sensitivity so I have to always be mindful about that, which means certain snacks are a no-go. :/
Oh wow! Totally understand. You could also look into Nature Box. You get to pick your snacks so maybe then you can make sure there is no soy 🙂
I look into that. Thanks Kaily! 🙂
