Yay! My PopSugar 2014 Fall Style Must Have Box is here! It originally wasn’t scheduled to arrive until next week sometime, but happily it arrived sooner than that.
This PopSugar Box was a separate purchase from the regular monthly PopSugar Must Have boxes. It went on sale back in July, was $100 and promised to ship by 8.31.14. 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! And every once in a while (usually seasonally), they offer these Special Edition boxes.
PopSugar ships via FedEx Smart Post and took just over a week to arrive. I think the holiday may have delayed it a tad. I guess I understand why the regular monthly boxes ship via Smart Post, but I wish that the Special Edition ones used FedEx Ground.
I totally loved the polka dot tissue paper they used for this box. It doesn’t really remind me of fall, but it’s fun.
The 2014 PopSugar Must Have Fall Style Box was curated with Fashion Week in mind and included the following chic accessories and multifunctional accessories to help you take on the new season in style.
~Marchesa Voyage For Shopstyle Printed Scarf ($140): I like the material (although I did expect it to be a lot thicker) and pattern of this scarf, but I am not too sure about the colors. I mean I’ll wear it, but it wouldn’t have been my first choice. It’s not that I dislike blue and black, but it doesn’t scream fall to me either. I may be the only one, but I would have loved a deep orange or red.
~Make Silk Cream Lipstick (Radicchio) ($25): This is for sure a sister-in-law item. She gets all my lipsticks. It’s actually one product that I have none of in my stash since I give it all to her right away. She probably hasn’t had to buy a lipstick in years. This color is really nice and I think she’ll love it.
~Capsule Parfums Byway Eau de Parfume ($38): Okay, this was the item I was most curious about testing. It’s described as “a is a sweet fragrance inspired by one unforgettable lap dance”. Uhh, okay. It has hints of crystal spun sugar and vanilla among other, so I was kind of hoping it would smell similar to Pink Sugar which shares some of those notes. It doesn’t. It kind of reminds me of my Grandma (who didn’t smell like a lap dance). I don’t hate it, but it’s not going to be my signature scent either.
~Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser ($32): I love that we got a cleanser. There tends to be lots of serums and lotions and moisturizers and that sort of thing in subscription boxes, but cleansers? Not so much. This brand is totally new to me and while I normally wouldn’t spend this much on a cleanser, I will be happy to use it and see what I think.
~Joie Zorina Knit Hat ($98): Living in Michigan this hat will come in very handy. Too handy actually. It’s super soft and it’s something I would have bought on my own (I mean if it were less expensive of course). I would have totally preferred the Joie scarf or mittens, but I can always add those to my Christmas list.
~SugarPova Chic Gummy Candy ($5.99): Little gummy shoes, sunglasses and purses? So cute! It’s tennis champion Maria Sharapova’s line and they taste really good too.
All totaled I came up with a value of $338.99 for the 2014 PopSugar Must Have Fall Style Box. That’s well over the $100 cost of the box and while I am satisfied with it, I wasn’t wowed by it. I like the contents, but I didn’t love them. Still it will not be stopping me from ordering their next special edition box!
Did you get the PopSugar Fall Style box? What did you think? It’s sold out now, but if you are interested in winning one, well, you are in luck because I picked up a second one to giveaway!

The Face Wash!
I think the scarf was blue… Because the birthstone for September is sapphire? I personally love the scarf & hat
I got the hat and I am not a hat wearer so if someone wants to trade for the scarf or the gloves just let me know.
Oh it’s always so hard to choose. I agree, I think the scarf is lovely but it looks more of a Christmas festive type of thing (because of the bold colors, I think). I think the Joie hat is def my favorite!! Oh I would die to win this!! Thanks for a fabulous giveaway!
That’s an awesome box!!
Don’t forget to answer the question!
Love the scarf and hat!
That hat!!!
I am living the knit hat. It looks so warm.
i would DIE for that hat!
I want the hat! I guess I can feel your pain with the hat needs and it’s supposed to be as cold this winter! Now I wish I had my box, I guess I can run over tomorrow since it was delivered today but I’m going to be making a run on Monday to mail some GT trades out.
would really love to win…thank you much
i like the scarf and hte gummy bears
Don’t forget to answer the question!
I love the Scarf and the gummy bears. The hat is cute as well (now i’m sure i answered the question)
I love the hat! That’s an item I could get a lot of use out of.
Love that hat! It would totally come in handy for the Chicago winters!
I would love to win this!
Don’t forget to answer the question!
The hat is my favorite! So adorable!
THE CANDY.
I’m seriously tempted to just go buy a bag (or two) off of Amazon haha.
My fav item is the hat, although I would never spend that much on a winter hat!
I love the scarf.
I love the hat! And the scarf!
I love the scarf! 🙂
The indie lee cleanser! I love indie lee!
It is weird that i’m actually most excited about the candy. Def going to seek out and purchase.
The scarf or cleanser!
Wow I’m totally in love with the knit hat !
I actually liked this better than I did from the spoilers. I never like getting perfume – not sure what will happen with that. But I was pleasantly surprised that the cleanser was free of all of the stuff I try to stay away from. It’ll get used. I love the hat – I’m actually glad we got a hat – probably the only one. Mostly because, as you know, it’ll be turning cold here in Wisconsin soon and I’ve gotten used to my morning walks. The scarf – I’m with you, I’ll use it, but I wish it would have been in a bright fall color! Love the lipstick color. When I do the ‘what would I pay for this in a store’ math – this isn’t my favorite special edition box – but it’s ok.
I really love the scarf! I love the color and pattern. It reminds me of Doctor Who, and I’m a big fan of the show. Silly I know, but its my guilty pleasure.
I want to try the Capsule Parfums Byway Eau de Parfume
Definitely the hat!
I love Make, especially their lipstick, so of course I am drooling over that. I also am addicted to gummies!
The lipstick
The scarf is super cute!
I love that scarf!
I didn’t think I was going to love this box as much as I do! But once I got it and saw everything in person, I fell in love. Especially with the hat! I was told I looked very “Love Story” in it. I’ll take that as a compliment!
My first thought was that I could use a new hat, but I just moved down south. So, I will say the lipstick as I definitely need some and can never decide what color or brand to buy.
Yay! Thanks so much ! Love this box
Don’t forget to answer the question!
My favorite from the from is the cleanser.
I meant from the box.
the scarf
🙂
Love the Marchesa scarf!
I’m loooooooving the beanie!!!
Love the cleanser and the hat!
I actually love the perfume. I tend to like sweet scents and they go well with my body chemistry so that was my fav item.
The hat!! Living in New England it would come in handy
I want to try the cleanser but I love the hat too!
It’s so hard to choose a favorite…the whole box looks great. But…since I have to pick, it’d have to be the lipstick! I kind of hoard lipsticks. 🙂
I think the had it my favorite item, it look so soft and warm!
The scarf, love the colors!
I think my fav would be the hat since I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t spend that much for it! 😉
The cleanser!!!!!
This box is awesome! I already use the cleanser, and really like it, but my favorite thing is definitely the hat!
i LOVE the beanie!! I love a good beanie! 🙂
The candy is my favorite!
Ooh the Brightening face cleanser!!!
The Joie hat and the Indie Lee cleanser! Thanks for the giveaway!
I really really like the scarf. The blue is great!
The hat! !
The scarf looks amazing! And it just so happens I don’t have a blue and black scarf! [I know, the horror]
The hat is definitely my favorite!
I love the hat!
Love the hat but also needing a new cleanser so
I am excited for that, too!
Love it all!
As someone who has the box, my favorite item is definitely the hat (although it doesn’t scream “fall” to me — more winter). The gummies, of course, too.
I’m surprised that I like the perfume — it’s not my favorite, but it feels subtle enough to spritz on prior to going into a work meeting and not choking everyone, you know?
I’m very disappointed with the scarf, but I’ll leave my negativity off here. I was expecting 7 items, though. I was waiting for this box for 4 months (the chance to order, that is) and I wish they would have just sent me an old box from last year. 😉 Either way, I love PS, so I’ll continue to be a loyal customer and as much as I want to say that I won’t order the next LE box, I probably will. I will give them a chance with fall again next year, too — hoping that they took my suggestions into account (I sent them a really detailed e-mail).
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I was really surprised at how thin the scarf is. The material is fabulous, but it’s not going to ward off any chilly air!
So excited about the Indie Lee cleanser!
I’d say the knit hat, since I dont own anything in a quiet neutral, and it’s starting to get cold here!
You’re right there aren’t enough cleansers in boxes. I would really like to try the cleanser.
I would love to have the cleanser! I love nice cleansers but they are always out of my price range
My fav would have to be the hat.
I’d like the lipstick best – I have makeup eyeshadow remover and love it.
I love the hat! Michigan winters are the worst! What a great item to get through the cold months.
I think the scarf actually is my favorite. I love the bright blue and can see it going well to sort of brighten up some typical fall colors.
I love the perfume!
That cozy hat!
The scarf is absolutely gorgeous!
I can’t pick between the hat and scarf. They would pair great together in an outfit. But if I have to pick one, I’d say the scarf!
I love the hat and scarf.
The cute gummies!!
I am in LOVE with that scarf
I think the fancy cleanser is my favorite. I’m not a hat person and would have preferred gloves like you.
I love that hat!
I’ve heard of Indie Lee and the cleanser would be my favorite to try since I’m always on the hunt for a good cleanser! The gummies would be #2 but I am a serious gummy snob.
It’s a bit sad and pathetic, but the thing that got the best first impression from me was the black box it came in! That looks like a nice sturdy box!
I think the scarf is my favorite. I’m not normally a scarf person, but I have learned in the last year that blues really look good on me, so it would be a great place to start!
The cleanser, for sure!
Love the scarf!
Marchesa Voyage For Shopstyle Printed Scarf….so beautiful…sooo me!
The scarf!!! Omg, that pattern and color is lovely. I’m trying to dress a little more out of my comfort zone lately, and a little more fun, so this fits the bill. So cute!
The cleanser for sure!
My favorite is the Make Silk Cream Lipstick!
Definitely the scarf! It’s in my absolute favorite color!!
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser!
I like the scarf the most. I cannot say I have ever had a lap dance before but is this a lap dance by a girl or a guy? And I assume it is a dance by a “professional” and not like the one in Mexico on Real Housewives of Orange County? Pretty brilliant branding.
OMG. There is no way it smells like the Mexican strippers from that crazy lap dance!
I absolutely love the hat! I would be toasty warm and chic wearing this during my outside after school and playground duties in Ohio!
The cleanser. I really had my heart set on those gloves too! Darn it.
I would love to rock that hat at Christmas when I go visit my mainland ohana! So excited to play in the snow!!! #doyouwanttobuildasnowman
I totally love the hat, but the lipstick looks so luxurious.hard to choose probably the hat though, cause it looks so soft and warm!
I absolutely LOVE the scarf. Would’ve bought the box just for that!
I LOVE the scarf! I don’t neccisarily think it’s a fall item but it would be great for winter (and who am I kidding, I would be wearing it all fall too!)
I like the hat and the cleanser a lot.
Love the Joie hat.
Love the scarf!
This box is so much better than the Luxury Resort Special Edition box! I love the lipstick!
I was not wowed by this box at all! My favorite item is probably the gummies, followed by the face cleanser- I can always use more of both those items 🙂
The hat is so cute!!
Can’t decide between the hat or the cleanser.
I just read the other day that cobalt blue is the color of Fall 2014. Doesn’t seem like a fall color to me either. The scarf is pretty but I have way too many scarves as it is.
Hard to choose, but i love the bennie and the scarf
I know the hat would come in handy in Michigan, but I really want to smell this mysterious “lap-dance-inspired” scent! HAHAHA
Love the scarf and the hat, is it soft?
Very very soft!
I am absolutely in love with the scarf! I think the colors are amazing but I do agree they aren’t fall – but love it nonetheless!
I love the scarf!
The cleanser! 🙂
The hat and the candy 🙂
Great box!! I’m excited about the hat!
I like the hat and gummies!
The cleanser!
The Indie Lee cleanser!
I love the hat!
my favorite is for sure the hat, living in New England, this would be very handy indeed.
The scarf!!!!
My fav item is the cleanser, I’d love to try a new one 🙂
Ooooh I just love the scarf! I do love deep orange and reds, also because “fall” in Massachusetts is more like “that week between humid summer and dark, frigid winter”, so bright colors are always nice. But the blue is so gorgeous (and somehow, I just have an insane amount of blue in my closet). Definitely, definitely my favorite. (And the cleanser, if only because my own is running out!)
I think I’m most excited about the cleanser, it looks great!
I have to say the hat would be my favorite… the color and style is totally something I would buy (though probably a cheaper version)!
Joie Zorina Knit Hat
My favorite item is definitely the scarf (so gorgeous)! I love the hat too 🙂
Love the scarf and I love gummi candies.
I think I’d have to say the hat! Although I love gummies too 🙂
I would be happy just to win the box. But my favorite is the hat. I would love to win.
I am curious about Indie Lee cleanser. You’ll have to let us know what you think about it. 🙂
I adore that hat!!! Cleanser would be a close second
Love the hat, but I wouldn’t spend that for it. Sounds so soft! I think the scarf might grow on me, with my black belted coat, black boots, and skinny jeans. It has an edge, plus, I would LOVE to own a Marchesa item!!
I love the scarf!
It’s a tough choice between that gorgeous scarf and the facial cleanser 🙂
I really like the scarf, but I could use a new hat. The cleanser sounds really nice too.
I love the cleanser & hat! 🙂
Either the hat or the scarf…I can’t decide! I like them both!
Best item in the box is by far the hat and something I would use daily in the fall/winter. So cute!
Think I’d like to try the Parfume
I was going to say the scarf, but I think I fell in love with the hat.
The blue scarf! I’m going on a Disney Cruise next month and it would be perfect for the chilly nights on deck <3 Plus it would look pretty fancy with the white beanie. 😉
The Marchesa scarf!! They have the prettiest prints:-)
Super cute hat!
I do believe it’s the face wash.
I am most excited about the hat! 🙂
the scarf!!
Ah! Please delete! I don’t want my full name on here
I edited for you!
All set!
The scarf!
I’m always up for some candy, so that’s probably my favorite item. With the scarf or cleanser coming in second.
I love the scarf!
The Joie hat is fantastic! PopSugar is definitely my favorite subscription box.
The scarf is my favorite item!
I like the hat….. a little luxury I would never buy for myself :o)
I love the hat! I’m also a gummy lover!
I am looking forward to the hat- will take mine to Yosemite next month!
I love the Marchesa Voyage for Shopstyle Printed Scarf.
the hat and the face wash
Love the hat!
I love the scarf! Those are totally my colors.
I love the hat!!
I really like the hat!
The scarf!!
Gummys
I think I’d like the lipstick the most! It looks like a great color for Fall 🙂
My favorite item in this box is the cleanser.
you always have the best reviews on subscription boxes…. it’s always the deciding factor on the ones I end up getting!!!! Thank You
OMGosh! I love the scarf! Hands down my favorite item ^^ Thank you for the giveaway!
The knit hat is precious! That color would be perfect for fall/winter.
I am in love with the scarf in this box! I like the blue and black a lot.
I love the joie hat. Perfect for Fall.
I’m most excited about the hat! Ps…my Instagram name was autocorrected at the last second on the rafflecopter- It’s supposed to be saryberry.
Not a problem! I wil find you if you win!
That hat is adorable! At that price I don’t think I’d be able to afford other clothing, but hey. At least my head would be cozy.
My favorite color ever is the blue of the scarf, but the item that I’m most interested in is the cleanser.
I love the hat! It will come in super handy for Minnesota winters 🙂
The hat is by far my favorite!
I want that hat!
I am loving that hat!
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser
I’m loving the cleanser and the hat.
Love the cleanser…..and the scarf too. 🙂
The perfume, hat and scarf are my fave things, if I had to pick one then I guess the scarf…or hat…lol
That hat! I only have dark winter hats and would love this light one!
Gotta say the hat! Living in SoCal I have no use for it, but for my daughter who is going to college in Flagstaff it would be perfect. Thanks for the opportunity.
the lipstick!
I’m probably just hungry… but I think the gummies are my favorite!
It’s a nice box, I like the cleanser the best – like you said, you don’t get them very often.
the hat!
I love the scarf! while I don’t think black & blue scream fall either, I do love them together!
Oooh I like that lipstick color a lot!
I love that scarf !
I think my favorites are a toss up between the hat (KS weather!) and the perfume (only because of the description!) LOL
I really like the capsule perfume!
The scarf!
Absolutely that scarf!! What a vibrant color!
My favorite item in the box is the lipstick! 🙂
I like the hat, although they always look stupid on me!
My favorite item I think is the hat. It’s gorgeous and I think it would actually be one I wouldn’t look ridiculous in! I really don’t look good in very many hats.
I’m intrigued by the perfume though its “inspiration” story sounds ridiculous, but I love Joie… Guess my favorite would be the hat!
I don’t have the box to try the products or smell the perfume or feel the material, I think your review is fair and thought out. $ 98.00 is pricey for a hat. I would love to win the box and try it out for myself, but thought your review of it not being a favorite is spot on.
That hat is to die for! If I was better at knitting I’d make my own for sure
I love the hat and scarf. My daughter would love the gummies. 🙂
I’m hearing good things about the skin brightening cleanser!
The accessories! I love that scarf, and the hat is super cute too! I’m also curious about the perfume, as a lap dance that smells like grandma is both intriguing and horrifying.
I like the cleanser and the gummies!
The scarf. The knit hat. and the gummys. I love gummys.
LOVE that knit hat!! and the cleanser would be a close second.
The Joie hat is my absolute favorite!!
Love the hat and the gummies!
I LOVE that scarf! =)
I liked the hat until I saw a pic of it on someone else (I’m worried my head would look weird!). So for now, I’d say the scarf–the colors look awesome.
BTW, were you going to go to St. Huberts? It’s my aunt/uncle/cousin’s church, and they work the beer tent every year (and my parents volunteer). I usually end up meeting them up there, but I don’t think they did it this year so I didn’t even know about it until I saw the news!
Yes! We were going to go and then the tent collapsed Friday night. I had some friends who were there and they said it was so scary. I’m so glad no one was seriously hurt!
I love the hat. I love the season of fall!
The hat! Its ADORABS!
THE SCARF!! LOVE
I Love that scarf! The blue is gorgeous but not really fall ish to me either… but that wouldn’t stop me from wearing it 🙂
I live the scarf and wonder what the perfume smells like. they tend to make choices I love. I just bought two more Lollia shower gels…
I love the scarf!
I love the Joie Knit Hat and the cleanser would be great to try. Not to mention the scarf. its so hard to just pick one thing. I think overall the hat is my favorite though.
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser
That hat is adorable!
I like the knit hat.
The knit hat is too cute!
The hat is very cute
I like the gummies
I love the hat, its super adorable and will be useful come fall/ winter here in Minnesota!
I am in love with the color of the scarf!
The hat and then maybe the cleanser!
I am loving the hat.. Perfect for fall
I love the Joie hat. Thanks!
That hat is pretty cute! 🙂
The hat! I live in Illinois and that looks super warm. It also already goes with two of my coats!!
I LOVE the hat is is super soft so i will defiantly be wearing that and i am loving the facial cleanser 🙂
that scarf and hat!! LOVE!
I personally love the scarf. I don’t look at it as a “keep the cold out scarf” as much as a fashion scarf (remember, it rarely gets cold where I live LOL). This is a fashion scarf that is light enough for you to wear over a nice black turtleneck all day at the office. I think the black and bold blue make it more of a fall/winter than spring/summer and as a fall item makes sense. I would never pay that much for a scarf but it’s a Marchesa so that’s pretty cool.
The hat I agree, much more of a winter item. I was surprised how soft it was and then saw it was a cashmere blend. I don’t wear hats but my sister does so she’ll love this as a Christmas present. In fact this is SOOO her I’m jazzed about it.
The lipstick is too dark for me but I might try to use it and add a lighter color. I found it a bit dry too. Not my favorite.
The perfume is ‘eh’.
The gummies were gone in a day. So cute!
Looking forward to using the cleanser.
This was not my favorite special edition. There wasn’t really a wow factor for me though I will probably use the scarf more than most items I’ve gotten. And the hat is such a perfect gift. But, it just seems that something was off. Something missing.
Someone said that that the blue in the scarf was the color this fall, so that makes sense. Not my favorite special edition either. But it certainly won’t stop me from ordering the next one…
I love that scarf! So beautiful!
Ha, I don’t think anything will ever stop me from ordering the next one!
The knit hat is adorable!!!!!
Make Silk Cream Lipstick in Radicchio
loveeeee the hat!
