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!

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.
