February 2013 Pop Sugar Must Have Box

My last post told you a little about the Must Have Box, so I will not get to much into detail about it again.  This months Theme was of course "Valentines", this box was a bit more exciting to me as I received some fabulous stuff that I would not have purchased for myself but I will definitely use.

Lots of goodies!

1. Nicolas Sparks - Safe Haven book & Bookmark, ($8.25 ca from Amazon)

This book has recently been made into a movie, which I would not have gone to see as I really do not enjoy typical "Chick Flick" type movies, but this  might be a good book to throw in my bag for a day at the beach or while my daughter plays softball . 

2. Connoisseurs Quick Jewelry Cleaner - ( I cannot find a price for the exact one we received as it appears to be a product launch and the website does not list an amount, similar items from the same company gives me an approx value of $4 U.S )

Not alot to say about this product, and I haven't tried it yet We buy a lot of Jewelry cleaner usually at the PNE, every year, but this one comes with a brush, so hey great!

3. Hanky Panky  - One Size Original Thong in Diva Blue ($20.00 U.S 

I am not a huge thong fan, but all reports are that these are very comfortable, and looking at the website, I would consider ordering other products from them, though I find the cost a bit steep for underware.

4.  Brokedown Spa Wrap - In White ($84.00 U.S. WOWWIE)

This is my very favorite item in the box, and I look forward to using it while getting ready to go out, it is made out of minky (Which I LOVE) and is super soft, my only complaint is that I wish it wasn't white, as I can see wearing this while applying lotion or self tanner to avoid having to tuck and retuck my towel LOL, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that in white.

5.  Revlon  Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - In Crush  ($8.99 U.S.  - From Ulta)

I have heard many great things about this product on the FB Beauty Groups so looking forward to adding this one to my collection of balms/stains. 

6. A Few Candy Treats, Sweethearts Conversation Harts and some Mariebelle Cacao Nibs (Lets call it $5) 

Total Value approx $130.24 U.S. ----- NICE

I really enjoyed this months box, but have cancelled it for now as I have really wanted to try out the Fancy.com's months sub, so look out for my future review!

January Pop Sugar Must Have

Pop Sugar Must Have - January 2013

Pop Sugar is a U.S "Lifestyle" Sub that costs $35.00 U.S, and has free shipping IF you have a U.S Postal Address.  Now this sub is one that I have been eyeing for quite sometime, other bloggers have reviewed and raved about this sub as its usually a high value box filled with awesome and useful things. Plus I got $5.00 off my first box,

If you have not heard of Pop Sugar, it is a website that reports on many different things, Celebrity gossip and news, entertainment, fashion etc. Lisa Sugar has created a empire based on Pop Culture, so the must have box is touted as a curated collection of items that are "MUST HAVES" by the founder and editors of the Pop Sugar Website.

 I live right near the border and have a very handy shipping depot approximately 10 mins from my home, that  I can use as a U.S Delivery Address I decided to give this box a shot, now before I even got my shipping notification I had already seen spoilers of this box on MUT (Make Up Talk) so I was not overly excited to get this, and then shortly after it arrived, we suffered a family emergency so I left it at the depot for almost two months, which is why this review is late and precedes the February box review.

The Box that it comes in is cute: White and pink and all the items inside are wrapped in gorgeous pink tissue paper:  Inside was

I will start off with the most disappointing items:  3 Think Thin bars, Two Dark Choclate  Pop Bars (You heat up milk and dips the bars in and stir to create "Hot Chocolate" and a container of Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows..... I really don't think I "Dig" food items in a sub, I m a little two picky about what I eat.

The box also contained an Epicuren Enzyme Tea Tree Lip Balm with SPF ($9.95 from Amazon) - I have a ton of Lip Balms from my beauty boxes so this goes in the drawer. There was also a code for a Castegram, Iphone cover, which I didn't need, but if you want it let me know!

Next was the the two  "Big Ticket" Items

1. Stott Pilates - 65cm Stabilty Ball - (approx $38.99 US, paid for the cost of the box with a little left over)

I am happy with this product, as I would love it introduce a fitness regime into my day to day and I did not have one currently, I always wander passed them in stores and think..... I should get that!

2. Pop Sugar Special Edition Remix Timebomb watch (Approx Value $49.95, hard since this was a special edition)

This a cute items, but when I first took it out of the box, I wasn't sure that it was really for me.  Luckily for me I received the basic black model (there where some pretty bright neon's being sent out), this watch also flashes neon LED colors when you press a button and quite frankly it is HUGE.  But after wearing it a few times I have to tell you it has grown on me, and since I currently do not have a watch this works

Here is a link to a similar product, mine is only missing the X from the face, also the one on their website looks to be a bit better quality (this is hard to confirm from pictures as they wouldn't post terrible pictures right?)

All in all I got my moneys worth, but I really wasn't blown away or overly excited about the box.
