  • Dean and Deluca Peppermint Tea $10.75- I'm not a tea person I'm more of a coffee kind of gal, but I must admit this smell quite nice. However, this will be going to my mom since she loves drinking tea. 
popsugar must have box, goldfaden md,
  • Goldfaden MD Fresh A Peel Multi Acid Resurfacing Peel $85- This is a full-size product, and I was so happy to see this in the box cause Goldenfaden MD is one of my favorite skincare brands. I use this 2-3 times a week it doesn't irritate my skin, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. This is an excellent peel, and it's quite gentle.

Popsugar Must-Have Box $39.00 shipping included a monthly subscription box, filled with full-sized home, beauty, food, fitness, and fashion products. There is also a mini box $15.95 shipping included which is a smaller version of the box of curated, full-sized products (Note: items are different from Monthly Must-Have Box).  The Must-have boxes are valued over $100 this one has valued $138  also, you can apply the coupon code SHOP5 to save $5.00 off your subscription. This box was pretty heavy and I was really curious to see what's inside so let's dig in!  

Popsugar Must Have Box | December 2016
  1. Odeme Catchall + Ring Dish $67
  2. Baublebar Snowfall Pendant $28
  3. Mane Message Bobby Pins $10
  4. Winky Lux Lip Pill in Bunny $14
  5. Sisters' Gourmet Classic Chocolate Chip Mix $6.99
  6. Dessange Professional Hair Luxury Color Protecting Top Coat Serum $11.99

Popsugar December Must-Have Box


Dessange Professional Top Coat Serum was a new brand discovery for me it's very affordable and it's available at Target. This serum smells pretty nice and it gave my hair some shine also helped with the flyaways.


This Odeme Catchall+Ring Dish came in an individual cardboard pink boxes and both items were securely bubbled wrapped. These are made from luxurious porcelain and this catchall can be used for anything Kitchen, bathroom, or on your bedside. I'm using the ring dish to store some paper clips. These are very sturdy I'm loving both of these items. 

The Date Night bobby pins from Mane Message is cute but I think I'm too old for sparkly bobby pins. My 9 years old claimed them as soon as she spotted them and she loved it. 

First off I love BaubleBar accessories! This simple Snowfall pendant came in a black pouch and if you're like me who's not a big fan of chunky necklaces you might like this. This piece is exclusive to Popsugar December Must-Have box


Winky Lux Lip Pill packaging is super duper cute! Bunny is a bright fuchsia red with a semi-matte finish. It's very pigmented, the texture is creamy, non-drying, it glides on easily, it's long wearing yet light weight and there is a hint of vanilla scent. This is Cruelty-free, Paraben-free, Gluten-free, and it's made in the USA.


Sisters' Gourmet Classic Chocolate Chip Mix sounds delicious but I'm not into baking so I'm taking this to my sister who loves baking. This delicious mix makes approximately 36 rich and chewy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.


Overall, this box wasn't up to par as the last boxes I've received I liked some items, some not so much. However, the Odeme items alone surpassed the initial cost of this box. Also, I got a few great coupons (one of which I've already used)  20% off Baublebar, 20% off Sisters' Gourmet, and 20% off  Mane Message. For more info on ordering a box click here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Popsugar Must-Have Box | October 2016 
  1. Henri Bendel Packable Umbrella $58.00
  2. Lalicious Brown Sugar Vanilla Shower Oil and Bubble Bath $28.00
  3. My Cup Of Cocoa Dark Drinking Chocolate $4.99 
  4. Morning Culture Rise & Shine Diner Mug $16.00
  5. The Makeup Eraser Mini  $12.00


This brand is new to me but I saw the words Brown Sugar Vanilla and I was sold! This smells amazing, it's like a two-in-one product shower oil and bubble bath. This shower oil leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. It lathers really well, the key ingredients are Grapeseed Oil, Specialized Sugar Molecules Tropical Probiotics, and Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice. This is paraben free. sulfate free, phthalate free and cruelty-free. 


I always see this all over social media and I'm not going to lie I was a bit skeptical about this. Well, now I get to try it out! This is a reusable ultrasoft makeup remover cloth that erases makeup with only warm water. I put this up to test and it did remove my makeup pretty well, however, I still had to reach for my Bioderma and followed by double cleansing. So I'm not sold on this product 100% but it was nice to finally see what this is all about. 



I'm a huge coffee and hot chocolate fan so when I saw these two products in the box I was really excited to use them. I've been using the mug ever since I've received it, I love the simple little Rise & Shine quote it's a perfect way to start your day with an awesome mug full of coffee or hot chocolate. yum! 



I love Henri Bendel! Everything is so cute and girly in that store and this umbrella alone surpasses ($39.95 bucks) the value of the whole box. This is a very lightweight, easy to carry in your purse umbrella perfect for the unexpected rainy and gloomy weather we are having in New York. The classic Henri Bendel stripes and print makes this umbrella super chic. 



I love a good pen liner so when I saw this I was excited to try it but as soon as I noticed the round tip I was kind of disappointed. If you're not really good with wing liner this can be a good way to practice by dotting in the liner and then filling it in. As for me I rather go for a good old pointy tip liner, this is not waterproof or smudge proof. 


Book Summary:
Lisa Sugar has an amazing job. She spends her days at POPSUGAR creating content about pop culture, must-have handbags and makeup, healthy recipes, and Instagram-worthy sweets. She manages an enormously successful, growing company with employees who love what they do. And her life is just as great at home. She and her husband have three daughters and she’s the number one soccer mom who loves reading bedtime stories every night.  
 
How did she do it? By figuring out what her dream job was, taking risks, and believing in herself. And now she wants to motivate others to do the same. She wants to show them how to live colorful, interesting lives where every second counts. 
 
She'll do so by sharing her personal and business story. Lisa knows that creating your dream job requires hard work, patience, and experience. She'll give advice, in big and small ways, about exactly how to do that, from starting a company to ditching a relationship that isn't working to becoming a fabulous boss. And with the great, accessible writing style that has made PopSugar such a hit, she'll make it fun!


I'm saving this book for the upcoming weekend. It sounds like a good read so I will keep you guys posted on my Instagram. Overall, I'm absolutely loving the Popsugar Must-Have Boxes, for $39.95 a month you'll be getting a box full of goodies that are valued over $100 and you can't really beat that price!
