I have received a ton of amazing items in subscription boxes over the years (too many fabulous items to list) and have been working to narrow it down to my all-time 10 favorite items!  In all fairness, I did try *not* to just pick POPSUGAR items (all my favorites seem to come from there) and I tried to go for a few different types of items (i.e. I didn’t want to pick all hair stuff).  So here they are, my Top 10 Favorite Subscription Box Items ever received:

~ToGoSpa EYES (January 2015 POPSUGAR Must Have Box – First Box Received In): EYES!  These first appeared in a POPSUGAR box, but have been in a few other boxes as well. TToGoSpa now also has their own subscription box.  EYES are amazing and have saved me on many occasions.  They depuff and feel incredible on your skin.  It’s like you got a few extra hours of sleep when you use these.

~Julep Sea Salt Texture Spray (July 2013 Julep): I love all types of sea salt spray really, but Julep’s Sea Salt Texture Spray is my favorite.  It smells good, gives me great volume and texture, without being too harsh.  It’s not always available at Julep, so you gotta snag it when you see it on sale!

~Locomocean Light Up Your Life (IWOOT Mystery Gift Box): I just received this in a subscription box, and I have been getting such a kick out of it.  As random as it sounds I have always wanted one, and this one is perfect.  It’s magnetic, lights up, and you can change the messages as often as you like.

~Proof Sunglasses (POPSUGAR Men’s Summer 2013 Limited Edition Box): This is my husband’s pick for best subscription box items.  Proof sunglasses are made out of sustainably sourced wood, and we’d never come across anything like these until they appeared in POPSUGAR’s Men’s Summer Box (they don’t offer a Men’s summer box anymore).

~Tote from Karl Lagerfeld Paris (Nina Garcia #NGQ09 Quarterly Co.): This is another item I recently received.  It came in the latest Nina Garcia box, which I’d almost given up on.  SO glad I didn’t.  This tote is reversible, and of all the handbags we’ve received in boxes, is the most like something I would pick out for myself.

~GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment (March 2014 NewBeauty TestTube – First Box Received In): GlamGlow!  How could I NOT include this?  It has a very strange texture / appearance (it looks like mud with hunks of seaweed in it), but it leaves your skin glowing.  Plus it’s formulated with Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.  It’s expensive, but luckily it’s somewhat of a subscription box regular and has appeared in many boxes over the years.

~The Wet Brush Hair Detangling Brush (October 2013 POPSUGAR Must Have – First Box Received In): I don’t know why it took me so long to discover wet brushes, but I am never going back.  They are inexpensive and work so well to get the tangles out.

~The Crispery CrispyCake (October 2013 POPSUGAR Must Have – First Box Received In): If you love rice cereal treats, but have never had a CrispyCake you are missing out.  They.are.amazing.  They are soft and gooey and just delicious.

~Raw Sugar Lemon Sugar Body Wash (April 2017 Target Naturals Beauty Box): Another recent subscription box item.  This lemon sugar body wash is everything.  I can’t tell enough people about this or how much I love it.  I have already purchased the full-size of this (the Target box had a travel-size) along with a hand-soap.  They are inexpensive (like $7 for 25oz), and the smell is the best thing ever.

~Restoration Hardware Luxe Faux Fur Throw (gift with annual Little Lace Box subscription): My final pick didn’t actually come in a subscription box, but it was a gift with the purchase of an annual (now defunct) LLB subscription.  This is my go-to throw.  It’s cozy, and you can toss it in the washing machine/dry without any issues.

I can’t even tell you how hard it was to select just 10 items and I don’t even want to mention how long it took me to do this.  LOL!  I REALLY thought about this a lot!

Now it’s your turn!  What have been your all-time favorite subscription box items?
