The Latest Must Have Box

May 15, 2017

Affiliate Links

My latest Must Have Box has arrived from Popsugar.  This is the subscription box that I’ve been getting the longest.  Each box is filled with beauty, lifestyle, fitness items and more.  Most months I’m thrilled with the contents and other months are just so-so.  This month’s box is pretty good.  Not my favorite, but certainly not my least favorite either.

May 2017 Popsugar Must Have Box

The theme for the May box is about family, home and memories.

Let’s take a peek at the May Popsugar Must Have Box now…

Popsugar Must Have Box

Contents of the May 2017 Popsugar Must Have Box

Lipstick Queen Mornin’ Sunshine – This is an interesting lipstick (to say the least).  It is yellow in the tube, but when swatched it turns a pretty peach shade.  It can be worn alone or layered over other lipsticks to change their color.  It’s fun and I’m really enjoying it.  In addition, there is a code included in this month’s box for 15% off a lipstick queen purchase.  Retail Value $25Lipstick Queen Mornin Sunshine

mornin sunshine swatch

Here is the Lipstick Queen Mornin’ Sunshine swatched on my arm. It looks different on everyone, but is a sheer peach shade.

Samantha Faye inspirational cuff

Samantha Faye Inspirational Cuff  – This cuff design is exclusive just for POPSUGAR Must Have subscribers.  It’s engraved with the words “Be good. Do good. Feel good.” I absolutely adore inspirational jewelry, so this is a winner for me.  Retail Value $60

Tocca candles

Southern Culture Artisan Foods Strawberry Cream Muffin Mix – If you know me then you know I love my sweets.  I will be baking these sumptuous muffins soon.  Retail Value $7.99

Tocca Montauk Candle – I opened this candle and a burst of freshness hit me in the face.  This candle has a fresh/refreshing scent called Voyage Montauk that is perfect for spring and summer. The burn time of approximately 30 hours (3 oz size).  I highly recommend this line of candles.  Retail Value $2

Swing Design Essex Frame – This is a pretty silver plated frame to hold a 4×6 photo.  I like the white matte that surrounds the photo.  Retail Value $13

Nicely Noted card collection

Nicely Noted Card Collection – This is an exclusive set of 3 cards that are perfect for when you need a handwritten note.  This company has a subscription type program too where you can get cards delivered monthly.  I think this is a wonderful idea!  For the subscription you get 3 cards and 3 stamps.  Included in this month’s Popsugar box is a code for 50% the first month of a subscription.

This box retails for $39.95 per month (includes shipping).  The price goes down when you subscribe to multiple months rather than doing the month to month plan.  You can check everything out on their website (https://musthave.popsugar.com).  Use code MUSTHAVE5 to get $5 off your first box.

What do you think?  Would this box be worth the cost to you?  Let me know in the comments below.

    This month’s box is well worth the price with all of those goodies. That said, I can sort of see why you’re on the fence about it – they’re items that are more or less classics that will give you another candle, more note cards, another pretty frame etc. I love Lipstick Queen and I think color-changing lipsticks are fun but too bad that this one is so timid in the shade it turns.

    I’d be on the fence with this box even though I think everything is actually nice. It’s just that I don’t know if I’d need them. The bracelet and lipstick are my favorites from your box.

    I love the mixture of products in these boxes, there’s always such a fun variety! I actually don’t get any boxes at the moment, which is crazy, because at one time I was getting like 5!

#ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favo #ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favorite ways to unwind at the end of a busy day!
 
Looking after ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s just a few little beauty rituals that make us feel our best.
 
Tonight’s nighttime beauty routine featured a few finds from QVC…
 
• Tweezerman Facial Razor & Replacement Blades for a little at-home facial grooming. I like these for removing the peach fuzz so my makeup goes on smoother. Beware, these are sharp!
 
• Beekman 1802 Milk Rx Better Aging Compress Mask (came as part of a trio) to calm and soothe my skin after I did some exfoliating with the razor.
 
• Philosophy Fragrance 3-in-1 Shower Gel & Lotion for a relaxing bubble bath and a little everyday luxury. The Pure Grace scent is clean and refreshing.
 
I love finding beauty and skincare favorites that make my self-care routine feel special, especially when I can find them at a great price and I always feel like I can count on QVC for that.
 
Have you checked out the beauty deals and sales on QVC.com or in the QVC app lately? There are so many fun finds worth browsing! You never know what little beauty treat you might discover and with the holidays coming up, they have great gift options too.

When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up e When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up experience at my local Ulta Beauty, I immediately added it to my calendar.

They did product demonstrations, skincare education, and mini facials, all focused on the Milk Rx line for better aging. They were handing out samples to attendees, so I brought some home to try.

Such a great experience — the kindest staff. Thank you, @beekman1802 💛🐐💛

Their lightweight pima cotton turtlenecks are one of my favorite Fall staples and I have a bunch of solids. So glad to see the animal prints this year.

As promised, I have a mini try-on video for you fr As promised, I have a mini try-on video for you from my recent #wantable Box called Cozytober. This was a box filled with, you guessed it, cozy Fall clothes.

This was a selection of the items in my box. I bought 4 of the items to add to my wardrobe. I loved everything except the pants which were too long for this petite gal.
