PopSugar Must Have August 2015 Review

My August PopSugar box is here! PopSugar is a lifestyle subscription box that includes the best of fashion, beauty, home, fitness, food and more that is delivered to your door every month for $39.95. I really enjoy this box, and their products are always so fun, and I have yet to not love a box. They always have a value of over $100 too. Usually much more. I am really excited to see what is inside, and I can't wait to use all my new products all month long. 


This month's theme inspirations are Organization, Morning Routines, Celebrations, Caffeine, and Back to School. These all get me really excited. I am a huge morning person, and love everything that goes along with it. I am super organized, and I bet the back to school items will be really cute. Celebrations is the one I am the least excited about, which is really weird, but I feel like these items won't be that useful for me, because I don't throw a lot of my own organized parties. I am really pumped to see what is inside, and I hope there are a few items that I absolutely love. 


Royal Apothic Tea Balm Firming Eye Treatment

$36.00 - 0.57 oz 

This is the spoiler I saw and the item I am most excited about in this month's box. I have this brand's mud mask, and I absolutely LOVE IT! It smells great, it works great, and it has a special spa like quality. I've always had dark circles, and I've started to notice some wrinkles. Unfortunately, this doesn't have a smell at all. I guess I'd rather have no smell over a bad smell. This cream is on the thicker side, and feels really nice under my eyes. I haven't noticed any changes yet, but I know they take a minute. I like how this goes along with morning routine with both the tea theme and the face product theme. I will probably use this mostly at night, though. I actually just bought Benefit's under eye cream, and I really wish I would have waited. Oh, well.


Happy Jackson Yay Lunch! Lunch Box

$10.00

This is the only item I don't think I would ever use, and it is a real bummer, because it is so freaking cute. I love the "YAY LUNCH!" and "YUM!" wording, the colors are fun, and the elastic band is perfect. I don't know if I'm a piggy, but this container doesn't seem too big. I could definitely see fitting a salad in here, or even last night's pasta leftovers, but an assortment of food wouldn't really work. I am not sure if this is the organization item, but if it is, I am a little bummed. I was hoping for a journal or something similar. This doesn't even have organization pockets inside. This does work great with the back to school theme, though. Too bad I don't bring my own lunches to work everyday.  


Southern Culture Shortstacks Birthday Cake Pancake & Waffle Mix

$8.00 - 10 oz

I so wish my boyfriend's birthday was coming up soon, because this pancake mix is perfect for a birthday breakfast. Not only is it vanilla cake flavored, but it has actual sprinkles. I have yet to try this, because I want to save it for a birthday, but I am really excited to make these pancakes. I checked out their other products, and they have quite a few delicious flavors. I might have to splurge and purchase some more. I also like how their ingredients are all natural. This goes really well with the celebration and morning routine themes, and I would have never guessed this product to be included. I wonder if PopSugar is celebrating a birthday of their own. 


American Colors Clothing Mediterranean Plaid Scarf

$79.00

I would never spend $80 on a scarf, but I am glad that PopSugar decided to do it for me. I love this plaid scarf, and it goes perfectly with the back to school inspiration. The two things I am not too fond over is the pink coloring and that it isn't an infinity scarf. I can make it look like one, though. I wish I could switch out the colors, because there are a few other ones that fit my style better. Even though I don't love the pink, I am really excited to break this out this fall. This can easily dress up a plain t-shirt, or warm you up on a cold, crisp fall day. I think this would be better for a September or October box, but I do really like it, and I am just happy I have it. 


Pastel Best Day Ever Mug

$12.00

I have the best coffee mug collection, and this will just make it better. I drink coffee EVERY morning, and I can definitely see this mug helping me start my day in a positive mood. This is a little more cutsie than I normally am drawn to, but it now I can see that it totally fits in with my mid century modern decor. I love this super practical item in this month's box, and it goes along well with the morning routine inspiration. I switch out my mug at work every once in a while, but I think I'll keep this one there. It is too cute, and it makes me smile. 


Meri Meri Toot Sweet Pink Stripe Napkins

$6.00

These aren't really my style, but that being said these are really cute. This goes along with the celebration inspiration, and I think that is when I will be using these. While I wouldn't use these for a dinner party, I think they would work perfectly for the desert table at a bridal or baby shower. I am not planning on having those events anytime soon, but I have a lot of friends and family that have both of those events coming up soon, so these will be donated to them. Their other products are really cute, so I might have to come back to their site when I have a special event of my own in the far future. 


Folgers Iced Cafe Caramel Macchiato Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrate 

$5.00 - 1.62 fl oz

I am actually really happy with this product. Food items aren't my favorite item to receive. I try to stay really healthy, and usually their food is junk. I do drink coffee everyday, all morning, and iced coffee is my go to all summer long. I've never had a concentrate coffee before, so I was interested in trying this out. The caramel flavor wasn't my favorite, but I am glad this did include caffeine. This is a small bottle, so you can bring it basically everywhere. I think I'm going to keep mine at work when the afternoon slump rolls around. I would be interested in trying out some of their other flavors. This one just wasn't the best for me. 


My Yoga Works 3 Month Trial

$45.00

I am usually not too excited about these extras, but you usually have to spend more money to save some money. This one is completely free, and you don't even have to enter your credit card number. I do practice yoga, so this is also a free trial that I will use. I have yet to try it out, so I am pretty excited to see what it has to offer. I am just happy this little extra is something I will use. It says that you can use it on multiple devises, so this can be very convenient. 


Overall, this box killed it. I really like all these products, except one, but it will still go to use. I am a little bummed there wasn't really an organization item in the box, but they hit all the other inspiration themes on the nail. This is a great transition into fall box, and all these items feel very now. This box is worth a crazy $201, but most of the value is from the scarf. I did include the free trial in that amount, because you don't have to spend any additional money to get the value from freebie. 


If you would like to try PopSugar Must Have for yourself just click here. It is a little bit of a splurge, but the contents inside are always well worth the price, and it is the best way to treat yourself with a box of monthly surprises.
