PopSugar Must Have Unboxing June 2015!

PSMH Main

Hi everyone!  Hope all of you had a great Father’s Day with all of your loved ones. 🙂

Aside from Birchbox (check out the latest unboxing here), I also subscribed to the PopSugar Must Have Box.  While a beauty enthusiast can never (never!) have too much items, this box has ranges from fashion, beauty, home, fitness and food, making it a well rounded subscription box.  Subscription plans start at $39.95 which is more than Birchbox’s $10 but all items are full size and are valued at over $100.

Each month, the editors are inspired by certain themes and/or phrases, and June’s box was inspired by these:

PSMH Insp

Except for the candy, I haven’t had much time to experiment with the box but I’ll provide some pictures and brief descriptions to give you an idea of what the box contains.

PSMH 1

Quay Australia Mandate Sunglasses (Retail $45)

A celebrity favorite, these matte black Mandate sunglasses were designed “with your active lifestyle in mind.”

SNAP Infusion SuperCandy (retail $4)

Candy in form of gummies that “are packed with B vitamin that boost your energy, antioxidants that will keep your immune system strong and electrolytes that help you stay hydrated.”  Not sure about the claims but they do taste good-almost like Sour Patch Kids.

Spongelle Boxed Flowers-Fluer en Boite (retail $16)

A sponge/buffer that is infused with body wash that yuzu, edelweiss and vetiver extracts to “massage, smooth and rejuvenate the skin.”  This also comes with a little card that offers 30% off the entire site and $5 flat shipping. Smells divine with papaya and yuzu scents.

Judy Blume In the Unlikely Event (retail $27.95)

This new novel written by Judy Blume “takes us on the journey of a disaster-stricken town where an unlikely group copes together-reminding us all that life goes on.”  I love reading so as soon as I finish the current novel I am reading, this will be next.

PSMH 2

Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette (retail $14)

Of course one of my favorite items in this box, this stunning eyeshadow palette is coconut-water-infused and 100% vegan and cruelty free.

Yogitoes Peacock hBand (retail $4)

I’ll preface this by saying this headband is huge but it might be because it “acts as both a headband and an eye mask during Savasana.” Can’t wait to put it to the test in my next yoga class though I’m not sure I’d want to place this over my eyes after a session.

Sweet & Spark $30 Gift Card (retail $30)

A gift card we can use to purchase one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry to find timeless pieces “like those featured on the Zoe Report and in InStyle.”  Truth be told, I am not much of a jewelry/accessory person-or rather I tend to forget I have any of these items- but I’ll see what they have to offer.

That completes the box and overall I am happy with the variety they provide. Comment below with your thoughts on the box.

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

  2. Such a great box! I really would love to try this one sometime. Maybe after I move and get settled I will cancel a couple of my other subs and try this one. 🙂 xo

  3. I love Popsugar but this month was just eh for me. I love the sponge and eyeshadow palette, but the headband slips off me a lot even as an eye mask lol and Dylan ate the candy so I will never know how they tasted but he said he loved them, I am excited for the book but the sunglasses look weird on me but that could just be in my head Lolol. I already look forward to next month xoxoxo Janet

    • The sponge smells so good and I have yet to try the eyeshadows but I swatched them and so so pretty. Funny about the headband. Haven’t tried the headband but it is huge, Thinking I may need to pin it down with bobby pins. The candy was so good so I know Dylan enjoyed those, lol. Well you can always keep the sunglasses in your car as backup. Trust me, they come in handy and they never leave my car. 🙂 I forgot to include the pic of the free gift, lol. 🙂

  4. Very nice! Btw Judy Blume is a great author, I would love to hear what you think of the book so you can let me know if I should pick it up myself.

    • Yes, I’ve read a few of her books a while back but I can’t for the life of me remember most of them, lol. I’d have to go back and re-read. I recognize the titles but not the content, lol. Yes, I will let you know what I think of it once I’m finished. I’m currently reading another novel and will start this one as soon as I finish the other. Maybe 3 weeks or so until I have feedback. 🙂

  6. I’ve been enjoying my goodies more than I thought I would. I hope you are as well.
    I think the sunglasses were the biggest surprise for me. They didn’t seem like my style when they showed up, but I’m loving them now. Popsugar is always good for that. LOL.
    Hope your week is going well! XO
