My May 2017 POPSUGAR Must Have Box is here! Note: POPSUGAR sent me this box to review, but my POPSUGAR Must Have Box box (which I pay for) should be here soon as well.

If you aren’t familiar, POPSUGAR Must Have Box is an exciting 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!

Disclosure: This complimentary box was received for review purposes. All opinions are my own, and no compensation was received.


POPSUGAR Must Have Box ships via FedEx Smart Post and takes about a week to arrive. They seem to ship in batches (no idea if there is any rhyme or reason to the order they use) so some people get their boxes delivered before other people have gotten shipping notices.

Fun Fact: POPSUGAR Must Have Box was the first box I have ever subscribed to way back in June 2012!  It was POPSUGAR Must Have “Bag” back then, and their first shipment was in July 2012 (you can see my review of that box here).

The May 2017 POPSUGAR Must Have Box box was inspired by *Gratitude * Family * Memories * Home *.

The May 2017 POPSUGAR Must Have Box included the following items:

~Lipstick Queen Mornin’ Sunshine ($25): Yes, this lipstick is yellow, but when you apply it, the yellow transforms into a “unique-to-you coral shade”.  I swatched it, but remember that it will look different on everyone.  It is super moisturizing and felt like a balm when I applied it.  It’s just a hint of color, and that’s perfect for me.

~Silver Samantha Faye Inspiration Cuff (POPSUGAR Exclusive) ($60): This cuff says “Be Good, Do Good, Feel Good.”  I love the message and do like the cuff – but on other people.  Cuffs just don’t fit my wrists right. In all fairness, this is adjustable, but still.  My wrists must be super bulky because cuffs don’t glide on my wrists like they do for other people. They just kind of get stuck. Luckily though, this piece is gorgeous and perfect for gifting.

~TOCCA Voyage Montauk 3oz Candle ($20): YES!  This is my new favorite candle.  I’ve always loved TOCCA candles, and this is, hands down, the best scent they have.  At least that’s how I feel about it.  It’s “Salt Air Cucumber” which is a blend of fresh salt air and sea grass.  Salt Air Cucumber a light scent and smells like a beach vacation.

~Swing Design Essex Silver Frame ($13): This is a simple (but beautiful) frame that will fit a 4×6 picture. It’s silver plated and has a bright white mat.  I checked the price of this after unboxing it, and I must say, I expected it to have a higher value!  If you are still looking for a Mother’s Day Gift, a family picture in here will work perfectly!

~Southern Culture Artisan Foods, Inc. Strawberry Cream Muffin Mix ($7.99): To make all you need to do is add 2 eggs and 1 1/4 cups whole milk (which I have forgotten to buy from the grocery store for the 3rd time). The ingredients in the mix are simple: Organic flour, pure cane sugar, freeze dried strawberries, baking powder, and Kosher salt – that’s it!  I’ll update this post I get these made!  One note – if you watch your sodium intake, make sure to check the nutritional information on these.  One 49g muffin contains 25% of your daily sodium (or 590mg) intake which seems quite high.

~Nicely Noted Exclusive Must Have Card Collection ($17.50): Ohh, I was so excited to see Nicely Noted in here!  They also have a subscription service (check out my Nicely Noted reviews) and send subscribers three greeting cards of different themes each month.  I love every single one of these cards and will be happily using them all. The box also included a coupon code for 50% off their subscription also includes stamps.

~Coupons: The box also included coupons for The Gentleman’s Box and Lipstick Queen.

All totaled the May 2017 POPSUGAR Must Have Box had a value of $143.49.  I thought this was a fantastic box with a fun mix of goodies!  I am happy!
