Popsugar doesn’t have a monthly theme, but instead it curates the items around a collection of inspirational words. This month’s inspirations are: Celebrate, Gratitude, Loyalty, Smile, and Friendship. These don’t give many hints about the items inside, but it still sounds like we are going to get some celebratory items. I think it would be fun to receive some decorations for your next party or a cult favorite beauty item that we are all loyal to. Since these inspirations are so vague, I just don’t know what to expect, but I can’t wait to find out.
Pastel Cheers Lacquered Tray
$28.00
This tray is so cute and goes perfectly with the theme. I also love how there are endless possibilities while using this. I would expect a great product from Fringe Studios, and this definitely holds up. The gold rim is beautiful, and the confetti dots and “Cheers” gives it so much personality. Since it is such a general saying, this tray would be great for every celebration. I could use this to serve breakfast in bed on my boyfriend’s birthday, or to serve champagne on New Year’s Eve. Besides holidays or celebrations, I really don’t think I would display this item, because it’s not really my style, but I will definitely still use it otherwise.
First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Bouncy Mask
$38.00 - 1.7 fl oz
Ohhhh! This face mask from First Aid Beauty is so luxurious and such a wonderful way to treat myself after a long week. This multitasker helps your appearance in five ways: nourishing, calming, firming, plumping, and refining. All this in ten minutes. I’ve never tried a mask like this before as the consistency is pretty unique. It reminds me of a gel based slime. I personally love the tingle it gives your skin while using it and even minutes afterwards, and I noticed an improvement with my skin after one use. This jar will last me forever, which makes me so happy. It would be great to use for girl’s night as well, which works perfectly with the theme.
Dogeared Friendship Bracelet with Small Open Heart
$34.00
This is our second wish item from Dogearred, and while it won’t mean as much to me as the last, this friendship bracelet is still a fun item and a great way to let a friend know how much you care. The thread bracelet is tied around a cute little heart charm which is perfect for layering or wearing along. As always, you have to make a wish before tying it on, and it will only come true if you wear it until it falls off. Personally, I wish there were two to make it a true friendship bracelet, and I don’t really want to give this away. But, I know that my bestie will really enjoy it, and that wish may just make our friendship last forever. On the downside, I would never pay over $30 for this. Good thing it came in this box.
Meri Meri Gold Glitter Candles
$7.50 - 24 count
I was hoping for some decorative items for a celebration, and while this isn’t what I was thinking, these candles are perfect. I’ve never owned such nice candles, as these are larger than the ones you buy at the store, and they come with steaks to hold them in place. The gold detail is really pretty, too, and they would work with almost any cake. Personally, I think I will use these with a plain white cake, because these will dress it up so much. I love this practical item, and this is a great thing to just have on hand for those pop up (forgotten) birthdays. Plus, you’ll be able to use these a few times if you want.
Fringe Studio Free Spirit Journal
$16.00
This sponsored item by Jeep is just alright for me, and since they are giving a few subscribers a brand new car, this item just doesn’t match the hype. I will say, it is great quality, and pretty cute. The gold cover is soft and luxe, while the “Free Spirit” quote is great for that adventurous journaler. Personally, I don’t journal, I just don’t have time, and Spapchat basically does it for me, so I don’t know if I would really use this. I would hate to use this as a notebook either, because it is too pretty for basic notes. I think I may just hand this off to a friend who could make the most out of it. Unfortunately, this isn’t the best item for me.
Goodie Girl Cookies Chocolate Chunk
$2.95 - 2 oz
I normally prefer healthier food items in this box, and I am not a huge fan of chocolate, but I am excited about these cookies. Sometimes I need something crunchy and sweet, and these cookies definitely hit the spot. They are the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy, and were really delicious. I’ve seen this brand before, and I always wanted to try them out, so I’m glad I finally got the opportunity. I will say, I was expecting and hoping a cake flavored item, but these cookies will do. Delicious!
Shoptiques.com Gift Card
$25.00
Wow! This special extra is the best surprise, and it will definitely initiate a shopping spree. Usually, when we receive a gift card from Popsugar, the amount isn’t enough to cover a single item on their site, or it is a generic coupon code for anyone. This is completely different. First, it comes in a really cute gift box, which is great for regifting if you aren’t interested in using it yourself. Second, there are so many items on this site for even $10, so you’d be able to purchase a few items if you wish, or you could use this as a large discount off a more expensive item. Last, the amount of items on this site are endless. I will definitely be able to find something I love. This is a great thank you from Popsugar to all their subscribers, and I can’t wait to treat myself.
Overall, I am pretty happy with this month’s box. The tray is really nice and will come in handy, while the face mask is one of my favorite beauty items I’ve ever received from this box. The friendship bracelet is really cute, but I don’t want to give it away, and those candles are so luxe. I can’t wait for the next birthday. The journal just isn’t for me, but I would like to win a brand new Jeep. Even the last two items were great, and I will enjoy those cookies while shopping for a new item off Shoptiques. This month’s box has a value of $151.45. That is crazy for a box that only cost me $29.95, and $39.95 for the normal subscriber. Fall boxes are my favorite, so I can’t wait to see what next month has in store.
