September PopSugar Must Have Review


PopSugar Must Have FINALLY came late Monday! This was definitely the latest I've ever gotten it, but I think they had some shipping problems and I'm in a part of the country that gets it last which is definitely annoying. Usually PopSugar Must Have is one of the first boxes I get in the month and this month it was one of the last! Craziness- I think it's almost time for October's box! One reason I was so anxious is because I saw spoilers and it looked awesome and it's SO much better in person- I'll do my best to show it off in this review!


PopSugar Must Have:
Type: Lifestyle Box
Cost: $35/month includes shipping
What is it?: Each month hand-selected products are delivered featuring must-have beauty, fitness, fashion, food, and home items. Each box delivers full-size and premium items worth over $100.

My *slightly beat-up* box


Unboxing!


First peek- everything is so much bigger than I expected!


Info booklet


First look at everything- I had to show how big the book and diffuser were!

Must Have Home:



Rifle Paper Co. Botanical Coaster Set: Craziness that I got 2 sets of paper coasters in the same week- never had them before and then I got 2 all at once (1 set from Umba- see here). This floral set is feminine and very pretty. If I ever had a girls' night in I would definitely use these (as PopSugar Must Have suggests). I might gift them- I like them a lot but I think they'd make a nice gift too! Price: $16

Must Have Fashion:


Shoptiques Gift Card: This $25 off card is definitely more than the average subscription box gift card- I think PopSugar Must Have has given one out before (less moolah) and I gave it away to a reader. I think I'll check the site out myself this time around but who knows- I may be in the giving mood! Price: $25

Must Have Food:


That's It Bar: The name says it all! 1 apple + 1 mango, and that's it! Really, not a thing besides apple and mango listed in the ingredients. I love fruit and fruit products but I was apprehensive. I figured this fruit bar thing might taste... interesting. I eat bars a lot for breakfast so I had this 100 cal number today... and it was yummy! I approve! I'd love to try the other flavors! Price: $1.67

Must Have Fitness:


Sharkies- Organic Energy Chews: I'm getting back into shape (a shape that's not a circle) and so I've been exercising again and looking for ways to fuel up. So gummies? Yes, please. These are made from organic ingredients and are non-gmo which is unlike most electrolyte chews so I'm definitely game. Haven't tried them yet, but I admit I'm still a little hesitant to love them since the reviews so far haven't been on the yummy side... I can always have CJ eat them if I don't like the taste. Happy for the inclusion in this month's box! Price: $1.18

Must Have Home:


P.S. you're invited- DIY Book: For some reason, I imagined this book much smaller, but it's definitely a full-size coffee table book! It's loaded with the hottest trends on the DIY level. It's from Erica Domesek, the expert behind the P.S. I Made This website and flipping through the pages, I found the book to be pretty cool. I'll try and make it a goal to try at least one project! Maybe I'm craftier than I think I am! 
Price: $17.27

Must Have Beauty:



Kitsch Headbands: These are so pretty! I have a few Twistband headbands and have been wearing them recently while I work out. They used to give me headaches but I found a middle ground between tight and loose so I can wear these. These new Kitsch ones will be perfect- I love the color assortment and can't wait to start wearing them. They'd be great daily too! And it's suggested by PopSugar Must Have to wear them while you wash your face and I have to add that that's what I do every night! They are perfect! Kitsch also included a 20% code which is a nice bonus- I like their chevron headbands! Price: $11.99

Must Have Home:


This thing is HUGE!


Barr-Co. Original Scent Reed Diffuser: This looks amazing! This giant set came with a bottle, reeds, and a large bottle of a blended milk, oatmeal, and vetiver scent. I can't wait to use this. I plan on putting it in the living room today (just need to get around to putting my box stuff away). I love this addition to this month's box. It's definitely the product I'm most excited about. I feel spoiled! Price: $46



Verdict: This box lived up to it's value (as always) with a $119.11 pricetag ($94 w/o the gift card). WAY over the $35 cost of the box. I loved this month's box. It had a yummy treat, adorable accents, and even some great accessories. The (expensive) diffuser is definitely the winner in this month's box but it's really the curation of all the products together that makes this box so amazing. Already looking forward to next month!
