PopSugar December Must Have box

As I mentioned in my last post, I am becoming addicted to subscription boxes. The first one I am going to feature is the December PopSugar Must Have Box. I am a monthly subscriber to the Must Have box. I also try to snag any of the special boxes they release. I received THREE different boxes today. I'll feature the Men's box and the Holiday box in upcoming posts. If you are interested in subscribing, check out the Must Have website. The Must Have box is a little pricier than most subscription boxes, but the items are generally much more luxurious and have a higher value. Let's get started! 

Each month the box arrives looking like this.

The first item I pulled out was a bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares. The first bag was teh Milk & Caramel Squares. These are AMAZING. Very creamy and delicious. They also sent a bag of Ghiradelli Limited Edition Holiday Squares. This bag includes eggnog, peppermint bark, and pumpkin spice caramel. None of those flavors sound great to me, so I'll probably pass this bag along to a friend.

The next item is a Govino Go Anywhere Champagne Flute four pack. These are a little silly to me. I just don't see the need to carry around drinking supplies. Definitely not for me, but I suppose if you are looking to have such a  great time that you can't hold on to a regular crystal or glass flute, these are for you.

I was very excited to see Fibre Lashxtend from Model Co. It is kind of hard to find as the company is based in Sydney. I currently use this product, but I am running low. It is a great mascara. It even has a mirror on the tube! I'l do a more in depth review of this item in a later post. Model Co also included a coupon to receive a free Shine Ultra Lip Gloss and $10 off the next order.

Next is the CC Made Classic Artisanal Caramel Corn. OH MY GOODNESS. I am a sweets junkie, so I have tasted a ridiculous amount of caramel popcorn.  Seriously one of the best things I've ever tasted, and definitely the best caramel corn I've ever had.  The caramel is so creamy and sweet. The popcorn is light and fluffy. WOW. If you want to check it out (trust me, you do!), head to CC Made.

The Mixt Studio Gifting Set is cute. It includes three sheets of different wrapping paper, three gift tags and three strings of gift garnish. I like it, but it is nothing to go crazy for.

The NCLA Nail Wraps are perfect for Christmas Parties. The set I received had a red and white striped application as well as a red and white polka dot application. I'll be using one of this next weekend at my family's Christmas dinner.

Finally, I recevied a great bracelet by Lulu Frost. Lulu has done some great designs for J. Crew. This bracelet, like most of her pieces, has a wonderful vintage look. I don't wear a ton of jewelry, but I think I'll be pulling this out to sport with a sweater this season. The bag the bracelet came in had a tag attached with a 25% the next purchase coupon as well.

Overall, some things I loved (Hello, CC Made!!) and others were just okay. That goes along with the subscription box. It is a great way to find out about new products and help new or small businesses get their name out there. Look out for the next box review!

PopSugar Special Edition Men's Box

Today I received my PopSugar Special Edition box for men. The monthly boxes are geared toward women, so this is a great variation released every so often. If you are interested in PopSugar, go to Must Have to sign up.

First of all, this box looks different than the regular PopSugar boxes. This one was shipped in an outer box. The gift box is very nice and sturdy. I will be reusing it to store things in. 

The first item in the box is a Mark and Graham Everyday Leather Travel Pouch. It is very nice quality. The leather is soft and has a great color. There is plenty of room for my husband to store all of his travel essentials. I think he will like using this so he doesn't have to use my wonderful Sephora bags anymore! It also came with a coupon for free shipping for any order. 

Next is an Apolis Flannel Wool Tie. It is rather plain to me. It looks like it belongs with a school uniform. This is not at all my husband's style, so I'll be passing this along to someone else. 

The Monocle Speaker  by Native Union is something different. It can be used as a handset, speakerphone or speaker. It has an interesting look. I haven't tested the sound yet. 

The Malin & Goetz Essential Kit looks really nice. It includes 1 ounce bottles of face cleanser, body wash, shampoo, face moisturizer, body moisturizer and conditioner all packed in a clear bag. It is ready for travel as it is carry on approved. I like the simple packaging. I can smell some great fragrance emerging from the bag, too. 

The next item is a pair of socks from Soxiety. It looks like Soxiety is a subscription service that sends 3 pair of socks every 3 months. The annual subscription runs $120. Way too pricey in my opinion, but I will say the socks are very nice. They are an attractive striped pattern. They feel very soft, yet durable. They came in a cloth bag. It also came with a 20% a one year subscription card. 

The 5 ounce bag of Funkychunky Chip-zel-pop looks amazing. It is a mix of chips, pretzels, popcorn, caramel and chocolate. I haven't opened the bag yet because I am still savoring the CC Made caramel popcorn I received in my December box. I can't wait to break this bag open, though, as it looks like a great blend of crunchy, salty and sweet Yum!

The last item in the box was a bag of Krave Pure Foods Pork Jerky Black Cherry Barbecue. I am not much of a meat eater, so I'll report back with my husband's opinion when he gets to try it. I do like the packaging. It is all natural as well, so that is a plus. 

I'm a little underwhelmed with this box for the price. It certainly isn't as good as the last men's box. Win some, lose some in the world of mystery boxes I suppose!

I'm Back!

After a very, very long hiatus due to health issues, I am finally back! Since I was here last, I have had a lot of life changes. Most importantly, I now have a ten month old little boy! He is simply amazing. Anyhow, I am SO ready to get back to blogging and sharing my love for shopping. I have really gotten into subscription boxes, so I am going to start sharing the items I receive in those as well as the other items I pick up.

I'm going to get quite a few items on in the near future. I have a lot of catching up to do, especially with the holiday season in full swing. Here's to new beginnings!
