My October PopSugar Must Have Box appeared today and as soon as I hear the mail lady knock at my door, I bolted to grab it from her! I needed some PopSugar on this Friday!
PopSugar ships via FedEx SmartPost and always take a week to arrive to me. No matter if it comes from NY or CA, still takes a week. While I am always anxious to get the box, I have FINALLY realized that obsessively tracking it doesn’t make it come any faster. It’s going to be a week.
Nothing special about my first look picture. Probably would have been a little more exciting if I’d take it after I opened the tissue ;).
PopSugar has the best little information cards – they are booklets really. And I love to read through and check out all the products. This October PopSugar is putting a “pink” twist on their Must Have Box and are donating $1 from every box to breast cancer research and have teamed up with a few brands and products that support breast cancer charities. Here’s what the box included this month:
Must Have Food:
~The Can’t Cook Book by Jessica Seinfeld ($16.79): I ran into this book at Target this week and then Jessica Seinfield was on Jimmy Fallon last night (with her husband) and it made me even more anxious for the book. I can’t cook, so this is perfect for me. Maybe I will even make B dinner one night! Oh and it not only has recipes and that, but it has a “How To” section that teaches you how to chop onions, smash garlic, zest citrus, etc. You can also scan pictures with your smart phone to watch videos on it all! I will be picking up more of these for gifts for friends and relatives who are getting their first apartment / house.
Must Have Beauty:
~NYX Cosmetics Liquid Liner ($6) and Smokey Shadow Palette ($7): Meh. I could do without never receiving eyeliner in another box. I am putting the liner and the palette for that matter in my to gift pile. I just have so much eye stuff. But I am certain my cousins will enjoy this.
Must Have Fashion:
~Gorjana Charity Bali Bead Bracelet in Pink ($45): This was one of the items I was most looking forward to and I really like it person! It’s more delicate than I was expecting, but then again I think that with a lot of Gorjana things. It’s rather small though and while I don’t have like huge wrists or anything, I was worried it wouldn’t fit. It does so I love it, but yeah, if it didn’t fit I’d be annoyed.
Must Have Beauty:
~Julep Nail Polish ($14) (Char) and Freedom Top Coat ($18): I received “Char” which I’d gotten back in my June Julep box, but since I have so much Julep I figured the chances of me getting a polish I didn’t already have were slim. It’s a great color though and will make a great gift or a trade item. I would have LOVED to see an exclusive “PopSugar Pink” color in keeping with the pink theme this month though. Now that would have been fun! And I do love Julep’s topcoat and this is a good reminder to use it more!
Must Have Fashion:
~Jane Tran Thin Metallic Bobby Pins ($12): I have a few sets of bobby pins but don’t use them a ton – only when my “bangs” (aka hair that fell out after I had WB that is still growing back) get in my face and really annoy me do I reach for them. I like these because they are not all wild and won’t really be noticed, but I doubt I will use them much. They may end up in the gift pile.
Must Have Beauty:
~The Wet Brush Hair Detangling Brush ($14): It figures that I JUST got a wet brush (the Tangle Tweezer in my Coco Rocha Fancy Box) and now this one comes! I’m going to throw this one in my travel bag (which I never unpack) because I do really love how they work. This is the sort of item I would see at Target and wonder about, but not want to buy on my own. It does work well for my type of hair, so I’m happy.
Must Have Food:
~The Crispery Halloween CrispyCake ($3.95): Umm! I broke off a little piece to try and it’s SO good! It’s huge and will be awesome to share with my boys when they get home. I never make rice crispy treats and B loves them, so this is great.
Special Extra:
~Stitch Fix Gift Card ($20): Yay!!! I have been dying to try StitchFix (it’s a styling subscription service) and this gives me that kick I needed. I am ordering this weekend and will for sure post a review!
All totaled, the October PopSugar Must Have Box has a value of $156.74. It’s not my total favorite PopSugar Must Have box, but it’s certainly a good one! Don’t tell all the other subscriptions (because I do love them all), but PopSugar is my favorite ;).
