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 $250!

Note: POPSUGAR Must Have Box has switched from a monthly to a quarterly format. The Winter 2018 box is their third quarterly box.

 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 generally takes about a week to arrive.

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).

POPSUGAR has the best packaging. Everything is tucked neatly into its assigned spot and alway looks perfect.

The Winter 2018 POPSUGAR Must Have Box includes the following items:

~Apotheke Tobacco Blossom Candle ($36): Sweet tobacco opens up with traces of cognac and anise while creamy vanilla.  It is amazing.  I love that POPSUGAR selected a woody scent instead of a floral for this box.  It’s ideal for winter.  The soy wax blend will burn for 50-60 hours with proper care.  By comparison, a Bath & Body Works 3-wick, which is nearly 3ox larger, can burn for 45 hours with proper care.

~Kate Spade gold dot 12-month desktop calendar ($20): Getting this was almost bittersweet.  I feel like I grew up with Kate Spade (her nylon purses were EVERYTHING), so her passing last year affected me more than other celebrity deaths did.  POPSUGAR did include a note, which was very thoughtful.  As for the calendar itself, I love it.  It’s currently on my desk, looking sleek and gorgeous.

~Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks ($25): Perfect.timing. Who does get enough sleep during the holidays anyway? Not me!  I am still not getting enough sleep actually.  At least my eyes don’t look like I do.  These aim to brighten, hydrate and reduce the appearance of dark circles.  They certainly are making my eyes look and feel less puffy, which doesn’t make me look quite as tired as I feel.

~Ellia Jet Lag Essential Oil Roll-On (Special Extra) ($14.99): Jet Lag is no joke and this blend of orange, peppermint, jojoba, and lemongrass is here to wake you up and make you feel energized.  This is travel-sized and can be applied directly from the bottle to pulse points, temples, the back of your neck, or the soles of your feet. Maybe wait till you are alone at the hotel to put it on your feet (aka don’t take your socks off on the plane ;))..

~Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle Eau de Parfum Rollerball (Special Extra) ($28): Beautiful Belle is a blend of Lychee, Mimosa, Rose Petals, Orange Flower, Gardenia and Marzipan Musk.  I’d describe this as a romantic scent.  Definitely floral, but not too over the top.

~Bausch + Lomb Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops ($11.97): Have eye drops ever appeared in a subscription box before?  I don’t think so.  Depuffing your under-eye area is fantastic, but if your eyes themselves are still red, you’ll still look tired.  Needless to say I will be keeping these with me at all times.

~Winky Luxe Sugar Palette ($25): The names of these shadows makes me want a cupcake.  LOL!  It has nine shades in Metallic, Satin, Matte, Glitter, and Pressed Glitter finishes.  Some are bold, some are neutral.  All are stunning with amazing pigmentation.

~Whiskey in a Teacup: What Growing Up in the South Taught Me About Life, Love, and Baking Biscuits by Reese Witherspoon ($16.06  on Amazon):  I thought this was mainly a cookbook, but it turns out it’s yummy recipes, hair tips, and just lots of Reese.  I love it!!!!

~Melinda Maria Hammered Pod Necklace ($98 Value): This necklace features large, gold hammered pods in different, organic shapes linked together with a delicate 40″ chain.  I don’t wear a ton of jewelry (none these days really), but this piece is beautiful. And so unique!

~100% Handmade Cotton Fringe Throw from Uncommon James Home ($118): I saved the best for last!  I.LOVE.THIS.  It is so me and I am basically obsessed with Kristin Cavallari.  It’s a great size 65″x50″ and while I wouldn’t necessarily call it cozy, it is beyond stylish.  It fits in perfectly in my living room and helps to keep my couches clean (they are white) to boot!  Score!

I loved the Winter 2018 POPSUGAR Must Have Box!  With a value of over $350, it was so worth the $75 price tag.

What do you think of the Winter 2018 POPSUGAR Must Have Box?  What do you think is coming in the Spring box??
