Yea! My Popsugar Must Have subscription box has arrived for the month of June, and since summer is finally here, and am excited for some goodies to enjoy that warm weather. Popsugar is a monthly subscription box that delivers full size lifestyle products in the categories of beauty, fashion, home, fitness, books, and food. These boxes cost $39.95, but the productions always have a collective value over $100, so they are well worth it. I love this box, because it is a great way to treat yourself to items that I normally wouldn’t purchase for myself at a great price. I can’t wait to see what this month has in store.
Popsugar doesn’t exactly have a monthly theme, but instead they curate their items around inspirations. This month’s inspirational words are Beach Reads, Swim, Waves, Breeze, Mermaids, Palm Trees.These all remind me of a the perfect summer box, and really get me in the mood for the good weather. I love reading light and easy books while at the beach, so I am hoping for one of those. Also, everyone knows I will be swimming in the waves so beach gear will be well appreciated. I already see the item with the palm trees, and it looks pretty darn cute. Let's dive in.
Billabong Aloha Forever Trucker Hat
$17.95
Alright, I am on the fence for this item. First of all, it is so cute, so summer, and so practical, but I just never wear hats. Billabong brings me straight back to high school, and this is the ideal summer beach brand. This hat is really cute too. The Aloha is a fun summer touch to the classic trucker hat. This would be a great item to take with you to the beach to keep sun off your face or to keep your hair back while playing sports in the sand. This is a great summer accessory, and something we haven't received from Popsugar before, so I am happy about that.
Captain Blankenship Mermaid Sea Salt Hair Spray
$24.00 - 4 fl oz
OMG! I am so pumped about this item. I've sampled this product before, and I was an instant fan, so now I have a full size bottle to work through. Second, I love sea salt spray. I have very fine and straight hair, but I love how the ocean gives it fun volume and curls. This product replicates that look but giving it a touch of waves, and no heat is required. Plus, it gives my hair a soft, summery scent. I am a big fan of this product, and while I probably never would've purchased this on my own, I am so happy I have the full size product to use all summer long (and probably longer).
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
$26.00
I laughed when I saw this book in my box, not because it is funny story, or an unwanted item, but because I just purchased this book last week. That being said, this is the perfect summer read. It is a nonfiction story about a Hollywood starlet and the crazy life she lived. Normally, I think trashy love novels or silly reads when I think of summer, but this book looks like it is going to be a juicy, gossipy read. I can't wait to dig in. Now that I have two copies, though, I am not 100% sure what to do with this one. I guess I will hand it off to my sister. I wish I would have went with another book last week, so I could have two new summer reads. Either way, I'm heading straight to the pool.
Aloha Collection Ocean Coco Palms Pouch (Mid-Sized)
$36.00
This is the first item I actually pulled out the box, and it really got me in the mood for this summer box. This pouch is made from a plastic material that keeps everything inside dry and clean from the water and sand, or it keeps everything wet and sandy inside away from your clean clothes and electronics. I always have items that I bring to the beach that I want to keep away from the environment, so this will come in handy for me. I think it would be great for a wet bikini too, so this would be ideal for taking to your pool workout as well. I love this item, and it is so handy as well.
NCLA So Rich Mermaid Tears
$18.00
I actually own an NCLA cuticle oil already, so I am a little on the fence with this item. I do really like the one I own, but I've used about an eighth of it in half a year, so I really don't need another. This mermaid tears treatment does contain vitamin E, so it is super hydrating, and it will get your cuticles in great shape with only one use. Maybe I will use the one I own on and off with this new product, but I really didn't need it in the first place. I do appreciate the summer and beach theme to this product though.
Belgian Boys Mini Cookie Stash Butter Cookies
$0.99 - 1 oz
Every Popsugar box includes a food item, and they are usually sugary indulgences. This one does not differ from the pack. These butter cookies in the shapes of mustaches are both super yummy and fun. We've received my favorite food item of all time from this brand (they were caramel waffle crackers), so I had high hopes. They didn't match the deliciousness of the past snack from them, but they were still really good. I wouldn't say this is a great food item for summer, but it will still take care of that sweet tooth.
Meri Meri Blue and White Party Straws
$5.95 - 24 count
Popsugar usually contains six items, so this seventh item already feels like a special extra. These paper straws are light blue and white stripped so they pair perfectly with your summer pool party or drinks on the ocean sand. While I normally don't use straws, these will be great for a boy's baby shower or summer get together as well. Plus, since they are paper, they won't just get thrown away, but instead are biodegradable. These are a great addition to this box, not only because they are great for summer, but so practical for any other month of the year as well.
Starbucks Frappuccino Mocha Coffee Drink
$2.19 - 9.5 fl oz
Yes! This special extra is just want I needed, for now and most every other day. While I do normally stop and get myself a coffee every day, it is nice to have one ready for me in the fridge. It tastes great, has the added dose of caffeine that I always need, and it requires zero work. I will say, these contain a lot more calories than I usually consumes in my morning coffee, but this is definitely just a treat. Plus, in the summer heat, nothing is more refreshing than an ice cold coffee.
Overall, I am really happy with this month's box. I think it is a great start of summer box that will get me ready for these hotter months, and so many of the items are fun and usable. The pouch is amazing. It is something I don't have and will use all summer long. The sea salt spray is amazing as well. I wouldn't ended up purchasing a cheaper brand without it. The straws are nice and the cookies and coffee are going to be delicious. The hat just isn't my style, and the nail oil is just more of something I already own. All together, this box has a value of $131.08. That is amazing for a box that costs $39.95. I can't wait to see what July has in store.
