I almost couldn’t even believe it when I got my mail today, but my May 2014 PopSugar Must Have box was here!!
If you aren’t familiar, PopSugar Must Have Box (which is probably my favorite box ever) is an exciting monthly box full of fun, must-have picks across fashion, beauty, home decor, fitness, and more, which is delivered to your door on a monthly basis. Boxes include full-size products and premium items including tried-and-true classics, celebrity favorites, and brands consumers have yet to discover worth over $100!
My May PopSugar box(es), which ship via FedEx Smart Post, arrived in only five days, which was just about a world record. One box came from CA and the other from NY, but they met up somewhere along the way and were delivered together.
I knew what was in this month’s PopSugar box, but like I always say, it’s even better to actually get your hands on everything in real life! I wonder if I will ever be able to go spoiler free for PopSugar? It’s doubtful ;).
The May 2014 PopSugar Must Have Box included the following items which were curated to give you a head start on feeling rested and energized for your upcoming activities and weekend getaways:
Must Have Beauty
~Smellbent Perfume Spray in St. Tropez ($45): I have been so curious about the scent of this one because I have been hearing mixed reviews on it. When I first sprayed it, I hated it. But after I had it on about 10 minutes, I loved it! It definitely changes as you wear it and I am really glad I ended up liking it. It doesn’t smell like sunscreen to me, but it does smell tropical and beachy!
Must Have Home
~Citrus Zinger Infuser Water Bottle ($16.99): Yes! I have been needing a new water bottle and an infuser one is even better. And how lucky do I feel that I got the pink one? Operation drink more water (and eat less crap) will be starting as soon as B is done with school (aka next week), so the timing on this is perfect.
Must Have Home
~Kerry Cassill Sleep Mask ($24): I don’t use a sleep mask, but I will sometimes bring one along on long trips. Well, I used to anyway, when I went on long plane trips and could nap on them. It will happen again one day, so I will keep it for then.
Must Have Beauty
~Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquer (Pool Boy) ($10): Well who can’t use more nail polish? Ha! I know I can ;). This is a new brand to me, but the from what I can tell just trying it real quickly, the formula looks great! And I love the color. Perfect for summer.
Must Have Fitness
~Tone It Up! One Day Fat Blast DVD (~$10): I really need to start doing these DVD’s that PopSugar (and some of the other boxes) sends. I hate doing them alone though, so hopefully B will do them with me. And because he is a good guy like that, I am sure he will!
Must Have Food
~Hi I’m Skinny Sticks (Multi-Grain Sweet Onion) ($2.99): I have never heard of these before, but they are yummy! I am going to order one of their sampler packs so I can try all the flavors without having to worry about hunting them down around here.
PopSugar also sent those who purchased the Limited Edition Resort Box the following special gift because of the delay we had in receiving the box:
~vbeaute Lip Spread Original – Anti Aging Tinting Lip Gloss ($19): I don’t know that I have ever worried about my lips aging, but maybe I should be? It’s kind of a mood lip gloss because the tint changes based on your pH. Interesting!
All totaled I came up with a value of $108.98 for the May 2014 PopSugar Must Have Box (that doesn’t include the Lip Spread). It’s not my favorite PopSugar box ever, but since I like the perfume in it, I am totally totally happy with it. In fact, I may try to trade for more of that perfume!

I feel like Popsugar is just as hit and miss as other but more every other month has a good box and a bad box….last months was incredible and this one is too! Just never know 🙂
My favorite is the water bottle or perfume.
I love the water bottle! The Skinny Straws were really good too.
The Citrus Zinger Infuser bottle.
Water bottle!!
Water bottle must have that!!
I know the Vbeaute wasn’t in all the boxes but I posted a picture on my instagram and the color that it produces is gorgeous!
Water bottle
I love that water bottle!
I am most excited about the water bottle and the DVD! I watched these girls show on Bravo or E! for a while and I really want to try and do their workouts!
Ive never had a popsugar box… but mine is like everyone else’s favorite… I’m going with water bottle… it is pretty cute
I’d love to have that water bottle, especially for summer.
Believe it or not my favorite item in the box is the lip spread! 🙂
My favorite item is the water bottle, especially that pink color you got!
The nail polish. and water bottle. and I am thinking I will also love the perfume 🙂
LOVE the water bottle! That would probably be my favorite!
I’m also on my way to dieting and exercising to lose the baby weight. I could really use the DVD! Which would be my second favorite.
Thanks for this opportunity 🙂
I would like that bottle!
Definitely the water bottle, I’ve been wanting them to send one of these out since January and finally 4 months later they did! So glad I held off on buying one because it just seemed like something they’d finally include. I love infused water! I’m a huge water and unsweetened ice tea drinker so this is just perfect… now to try it out!
The nail polish
The sleep mask I love mine for naps!
i love the water bottle!
I love the infused water bottle.
Water bottle or perfume.
I love the perfume!!!!
I want the perfume!
My favorite is the water bottle!
The water bottle, perfume and skinny sticks!
The tone it up DVD! I have really enjoyed their youtube channel and their show on Bravo. Sometimes I wish they would wear more clothes in their videos but hey if I looked like that, I too would walk around in a bikini.
Infuser water bottle!
Excited to smell the perfume and to taste the Hi I’m Skinny snack! 🙂
The infusion water bottle looks awesome! It inspired me to look for infusion water pitchers too 🙂
definitely most excited about the water bottle
The water bottle or the perfume!
I have that water bottle and I like it a lot but it’s super messy. I use it to make lemon water and the lemon gets everywhere and not really so much in the bottle. It also leaks like crazy which I had to email the company about. I actually have the Tone It Up nutrition plan but I’m not super crazy about it or the girls, at this point (since after the show) all they really seem to care about is selling super expensive TIU products and increasing their profits instead of updating their plans and creating new videos/plans. They also don’t respond to a lot of questions, it’s mostly members responding to other members. I like the girls and I understand they’re in it to make money but it still sucks for those of us that shelled out for the plan.
I used to love the treats! I would always end up buying them at least once. That’s the biggest thing I miss about this box. From this box, I think I want that water bottle the most.
Probably the perfume, or at least I hope so. It’s so hard to get perfume in a box because I feel like it’s so personal!
Water bottle! I want to try the infuser kind!
Those Skinny Sticks look really tasty!
Definitely the water bottle!
the citrus zinger water bottle
The water bottle!
The skinny straws sounds good. That water bottle sounds interesting too!
Citrus Zinger Infuser Water Bottle
I hadn’t seen spoilers for this one but did see some people’s comments about not loving it, so I wasn’t too excited, but I actually really liked this box! LOVE the St. Tropez scent!! Seriously, it just makes me so happy smelling it. And the nail color is not one I would have picked, but now that I have it I totally love it! However, the mask and the fitness DVD were kind of fails in my opinion. Oh well. The items I like make up for them!
I would never have found that scent on my own and it totally takes a bit to sink in, but I am loving it!
The perfume is my favorite item.
The DVD!
The water bottle would be wonderful to have – love it!
I’d love to try the St. Tropez spray mist :D!
Water Bottle is great!
The citrus infuser waterbottle!! There are so many tasty ideas that come to mind 🙂
My favorite is the water bottle.
The DVD!
I’m looking forward to trying a new, summery perfume.
Looking forward to trying the water bottle.
Ah! I want to get my PopSugar box so bad! I am so anxious to try it because it seems like a box with such a great value! Can’t wait to get mine! Also I’m obsessed with fragrances so I’m really glad you ended up liking this scent!
Oh and since I didn’t already say it, the perfume is my favorite item in the box this month!
The water bottle!!
Water bottle. Can’t wait to raid the garden to flavor my water!
Dvd, these are the girls from the Series on Bravo!
Water bottle
The water bottle is super cute!
I love the nail polish
i love the sleep mask!! perfect for traveling 🙂
perfume….then water bottle ….. and I think I will actually like the polish
the infuser!!
The lip spread
Nail polish pings my radar. Especially interesting colors like that blue.
One of these days I’m going to order it…I just need them to have a REALLY good promo code first! Half the time I love the box, the other half I’m like mehhh…with a good promo code at least it’s still a win-win.
They have done a few half off codes in the past few months. I think that’s about as good as you are going to get!
The water bottle looks cool!
I would totally be willing to trade the perfume, just not my thing! Email me if you are still interested! Klbaldwi@gmail.com
My favorite is the perfume!
Fave item is that perfume. It smells much better than I expected.
I got a resort box late and never got that lip gloss. Seems like they only sent it to some people..
It’s possible it’s coming separate. I’d e-mail them!
The Skinny Sticks sound really good! 🙂
I love the sleep mask!
The water bottle!
Ooh I guess I didn’t look at the spoilers close enough. I’m digging that infuser water bottle!
The water bottle!!
I am most excited about the infuser water bottle. Thanks for the chance to win!
The water bottle. Ill trade my perfume with you for something. Let me know.
That water bottle looks so good!
I’m very interested in the lip spread. I want to know what color it would change too. That is very different.
I love the water bottle since I’m a citrus addict. I’m just so sad that my boxes take forever to get to me. But reading your spoilers is almost as good as me opening my box!
Citrus Zinger Infuser Water Bottle.
The water bottle and perfume!
The water bottle, I have been wanting to try an infuser. I too need to drink more water and less treats 😉
LOVED the Skinny Sticks– and that nice-sized bag of them is already finished!!
I’m thinking I like the description of the perfume…. Jasmine,coconut.. Beachy smell! Sounds great to me!
The infuser water bottle! 😀
The Lip Spread lip gloss sounds like so much fun! I’d love to try that, I can never get enough lip gloss!
I like the water bottle!
The Water bottle!
My box isn’t here yet, but I can’t wait to get my hands on the water bottle!
Popsugar is by far my favorite box. It seems to have the best quality and quantity
the water bottle and skinny sticks
I can’t wait for the Vbeaute lip gloss! My May box still has not even shipped yet -“Processing.” Maybe they’ll send another apology gift because the original apology gift was late. lol
I think mine still says processing too. You can go to fedex.com and track it by reference. Use your subscription # as the reference number. You should be able to find it!
I felt like a super sleuth using your amazing tip 😉
Smell bent 😉
Tone it up DVD!
You’re an enabler:) I loved the straws too (I first tried them in the love with food box) and my boyfriend and I demolished the bag over the last two days. I just ordered the sample pack and the 100 cal packs:)
OMG they are so good aren’t they?
I really want to try that fitness DVD!
I want that water bottle! Was just looking at some at Costco: )
My favourite item in this months box is the citrus infuser.
The water bottle infuser for sure!
Would love to try the Citrus Zinger water bottle and the St. tropez perfume 🙂
I want to try the Smellbent perfume in St Tropez myself – that water bottle is so cute I will just have to buy it outright!!! 🙂

My favorite item is the lip spread. I’m always into trying any new lip product, as I’m obsessed. The workout DVD looks fun too.
Honestly, it’s a tie between the OCC polish and the workout DVD!!
The OCC polish.
The water bottle!!
The perfume sounds lovely, and the lip spread looks intriguing.
That water bottle looks fabulous! I’ve read so much about putting fruit in water, so it’d be fun to try that out.

I always wanted to try that type of water bottle, just never convinced myself to buy one!!!!
I am most excited about the Smellbent perfume.

I love the water bottle!
I’d love to try the water bottle.
The beachy fragrance looks fun!
Citrus Zinger water infuser looks awesome! I love the girls from Tone it Up but I am very afraid to try the DVD.
I just got my box! I have a migraine from the smell of the spray. Well it’s not as horrible as I was anticipating it to me I just don’t love it. I wanted to swap it I’ve looked and other websites but there is so many up for swaps I don’t know what to do with it…
Hi! My favorite item from this month’s box is the OCC Nail Lacquer. Love it!! Thank-you
Citrus Zinger Infuser Water Bottle for sure… 🙂
Many people are saying the water bottle, but I already have the same one in green and barely use it. It only really works for infusing lime/lemons in my opinion. I prefer the infuser from the JLH fancy box. I am going to say the workout DVD. I was doing so well and then the holidays came and I haven’t been able to get back into my routine! I’m hoping a new DVD will help.
I would have picked the perfume, but I haven’t received my box to know yet. I’m really hoping I love it though…..So many mixed reviews worries me!
ooh and I don’t need any more lip glosses but an anti-aging, color changing one? Definitely need that in my arsenal! 😉
Hard to pick just one, but my favorite is the Water Bottle!
Obsessive Compulsive polish is my faaaavorite color!
the water bottle 🙂
The water bottle! I desperately need to drink more water, but absolutely hate the lack of taste!
The water bottle would be nice to have, and maybe the perfume too. I like so many different types of scents, it might work. Thanks for another great giveaway!
I’m in love with the antiaging tinting lip balm by vbeauty!
The citrus zinger water bottle!
I’m a snack person, so I would love to try the Skinny Sticks (Multi-Grain Sweet Onion)!
Pretty cool giveaway 🙂
Would love the water bottle – looks great!
I would say that the water bottle or the DVD would be my favortie items.. I am a water bottle JUNKIE, so adding another one to the collection would be AMAZING. Also the DVD would be awesome, I just went into Target looking for a fun DVD to try.
My favorite item is the water bottle!!
I’d love to try the anti-aging lip gloss. I have a lot of lip surface area so I need to keep them in top shape!
The water bottle is my favorite item!
I like that they send workout DVDs. I’m a sucker for them even though I go to the gym.

Probably the SmellBent perfume – This is something I had ordered a sample of a year or so ago, but had never ended up purchasing the full size bottle. Very exciting when it showed up in this months box!
