Bulu Box Weight Loss July 2016 Review

Yeah! My Bulu Box has arrived for the month of July, and I am excited to see what they have in store for me this month. Bulu Box is a health and wellness subscription box that delivers at least five samples, but usually more, and sometimes full size products of weight loss supplements, protein powders, energy foods and drinks, and fitness products. They have two variations: regular and weight loss. I’ve tried both over the years, and don’t really notice a huge difference, but I usually go with weight loss, since that is my main goal. They are only $10 a month, but if you use a code, you can get them for only $5 each for life. That is the price of coffee, which for me is an amazing deal.


Along with the samples, Bulu Box offers a rewards program. You receive 50 points ($5) for the box alone, and an additional 10 points ($1) for every review. I only receive 25 points for the box, since I am using the $5 for life coupon, but with up to seven samples, that is $9.50 to spend in the shop or as low as $7.50. You can collect these points for up to 90 days, which means you can buy some great products from the shop. I like to record samples that I’ve loved and purchase the full size product for free!



Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn in Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan

$35.50 - 28 1oz bags    ($1.27 Value)

I love popcorn as a light, low calorie snack, so this is actually a great addition to this weight loss box. I wasn't sure about the sun-dried flavor, but I already know I love parmesan on popcorn, so at least I'd like that. The tomato flavor was actually pretty good, and I gobbled up most of the bag. Unfortunately, this did taste just a little weird, and I wasn't a fan of the artificial flavoring. It grossed me out a little by the end of the bag. This was a nice treat, and something that did cut some cravings, but I wouldn't purchase this again. I'd rather eat something with natural flavors. 



Fru-Licious Smoothie Pops in Banana

$12.99 - 20 pops    ($0.45 Value)

I used to throw yogurt in the freezer all the time to create a healthy icy treat, so this is a reminder of that. Just like a popsicle, this goes in the freezer and becomes a sliceable treat. But instead of just eating water and sugar flavoring, this popsicle is made with real fruit. I was surprised to taste the pulp from the banana, so I knew it was real. Also, it is free of preservatives, gluten, and GMOs. Banana was good, but it wouldn't be the flavor that I would normally pick. I would love to try this in any of their berry flavors. This was a fun sample, though, and perfect for summer. It's a great treat without the guilt. 




$14.99 - 6 bars    ($2.50 Value)

This is a product I've never heard of, and something that is very practical. I am always craving sweets at night, and this bar also helps you fall and stay asleep, so it hits two birds with one stone. I am normally not a fan of dark chocolate or crunch, so I wasn't sure about this bar, but it was actually really yummy. Also, since it is made with mostly healthy ingredients and a good source of protein and fiber I don't feel completely guilty for eating it. They have a cookies and cream version that I'm dying to try, and I would be willing to purchase that. This is a great way to cut those snack craving right before bed without ruining an entire day of eating well. 




$19.99 - 30 packs    ($0.67 Value)

I am starting to notice a theme in this month's box. Usually the boxes are full of energy supplements and caffeinated products, but this box is offering a lot of ways to relax and calm down. This drink additive helps stop stress that can cause reactions in your body such as slowing down your metabolism. It is weird to think that stress can cause weight gain, but it is one of the factors, and anything to prevent that is a plus for me. The flavor was good, but it wasn't my all time favorite. It reminded me of a vitamin c additive that I use when I'm feeling sick, but this one was a little more refreshing. I would rather take a capsule, then have to throw this into my water, but it was fun to try, and I'd be willing to do it again. 




$26.99 - 60 capsules    ($2.70 Value)

This is a product I've never heard of before, but something that could be very helpful in my day to day routine. Adrenal glands can get overworked by stress which causes an imbalance in hormones. This can cause weight gain and a lack of energy. I've noticed a lack of energy lately, and I wonder if I am just over working my glands with stress. This sample offered three days of samples, so I was able to give it more of a chance than those one day packets that don't give it a chance to show a different. I did feel an increase in energy, but nothing around the belly, but I bet it works. This was a fun sample, and something I would consider purchasing in the future. 




$12.99 - 6.17 oz    ($0.74 Value)

These gummies aren't just delicious, but they packed full of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Sometimes you just need a sweet treat, and these aren't only low calorie, but they will also keep you healthy and full of energy. At first, I was surprised by the small size, but they gave me a chance to slow down and really enjoy them. Plus, I guess I wouldn't expect an adult gummy to come in a shape. Also, since they are so small, you can enjoy only a few at a time to help with that sweet craving without contributing too much on your calorie intake. I would purchase these over and over again. 




$14.95 - 1 lb    (0.90 Value)

This isn't something I'd expect in my Bulu box, but turmeric is very healthy for you, and it is a great addition to your dietary intake. I really like how this is a small company that sources all natural ingredients from Indonesia. I will definitely be sprinting this on my ethnic foods for a spicy kick, but this packing isn't my favorite. This bag is hard to reuse. It would be much nicer in a sprinkle jar or container. I probably won't purchase this again, but it was a really fun sample to receive in my Bulu box. 


Overall, I am pretty happy with this month box. This isn't the best box I've ever received by them, but I do like a lot of the samples. The yogurt pop, gummies, and adrenaline supplements are all something that I'd like to have again. I did also really like the night food, calming drink supplement, popcorn, and turmeric. It was fun to sample them, but I don't think I'd ever purchase them again. This month's box has a value of $9.23. That isn't bad for a box that only cost $5, but it would be nice to have a larger value. Hopefully next month will surprise me.

PopSugar Must Have Mini June 2016 Review

My third Popsugar Must Have Mini box and the third one ever has arrived for the month of June, and I am pretty pumped to see what is inside. This mini version of the full size subscription box offers two full size products that go along with the monthly inspiration words for $18.95 a month. The products inside have been hit and miss for me in the last two boxes, and the value hasn't always been there, but I haven't disliked it enough to cancel, so we are going to try it out again. I hope this box is a complete win. 


Just like the full size subscription box, this box comes with a descriptive card. I like that since I'm always interested to know more about the product, any tips for use, and the price. This box in general seems pretty light and not very full, but who knows, good things come in small packages too. The full size boxes theme words are sunshine, cheers, job, togetherness, outdoors, and festivities, so I am hoping for some products that will be usable for summer BBQs, hanging with friends and family, and possibly time at the beach. 



Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Satin Lip Cream in Blush 

$24.00

Makeup is always a part of the Popsugar box, but I am not sure how this goes along with the theme at all. I know Juice Beauty is a new collection to their skin care line, so it is fun to be one of the first to try it out, but this just really isn't my style. The color is a little maternal and just not for me, especially for $24. this is definitely the higher valued item in the box, so it really stinks that I don't love it. I will probably gift this to a friend or maybe swap it for something I am more interested in. I would like to try out some different colors or different products from their line, though. 





BAGGU Medium 3D Zip in Sailor Stripe

$10.00

This bag is the perfect carry all for any of your traveling needs, and it is practically weightless. When I travel, I have to bring a few smaller makeup bags with me to fit everything, but this bag spreads open pretty wide, and I could see everything fitting in here. Even my shower toiletries. While I do really enjoy this product, this isn't something that I need, and the value isn't that great. Also, it doesn't go that well with the theme, which is confusing. I will still use it so often, though. 



Once again, this month's box just didn't nail it. The lipstick isn't for me, and would probably just sit in the bottom of my lipstick bag unless I handed it off. The bag is really nice, and I will use it, but I didn't really need it, and I don't know how often I will really use it. This bag is mostly a miss for me, and I am a little bummed about the products inside. I swear this box is way too big for these two products inside. This month has a value of $34.00. That is alright, but it isn't as great as the full size box that always at least doubles and sometimes triples the cost. I am willing to keep this subscription for a little longer, but this box just isn't cutting it.


If you would like to try PopSugar Must Have Mini, just click here. It hasn't been the most impressive subscription box yet, but I am going to keep it going for now.

Target Beauty Box June 2016 Review - Sun Kissed

I've ordered yet another Target Beauty Box, and this time I was able to order it before it sold out. Target Beauty Box isn't exactly a subscription, but you have to purchase one each time they go on sale. Last month, they sold out before 8am pacific time, so I wasn't able to swoop one up, but this time I was sure to order early. These boxes range in price from $5 to $10 depending on the value. This box was on the higher end at $10, but that means the value is higher than normal too. From my first look, it appears to be packed full of great items, so I can't wait to see what is in store for me. 


Every box comes with a detailed card explaining each product with a quick sentence or two. This is really nice since it helps explain the products that are completely new to me or why this particular product is different from the rest. I wish it also listed price and maybe a tip, but at least they have this at all. Each box also comes with a coupon for $3 off $15 spent at target in the beauty section. I have yet to use this coupon before, but I always throw it in my purse just in case.  





Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo 


$4.99 - 9.6 oz    ($2.08 Value)

Normally, when you receive shampoo samples, they are one use foils or two use tubes. This sample is almost half the regular size, and the largest sample shampoo I've ever seen. I've used Pantene plenty of times in the past, but this is the first time I've used this intense moisture line. I didn't notice any huge difference with moisture in my hair, but this shampoo did leave my hair feeling clean, soft, and silky. Also, I love the smell, and it stayed with my hair all day. I really liked this product, and I may purchase it the next time I need shampoo. Also, this size bottle is the perfect item to travel with for long trips where the smaller bottles just won't cut it. 




$8.99 - 10.3 oz    ($2.80 Value)

SheaMoisture is a brand that I've learned to love through Target, so I am pretty excited to see another product of theirs in this month's box. Even though we didn't get the matching conditioner to the Pantene shampoo, I am glad we received a conditioner to go along since I hate running out of one and not the other. This weightless creme rinse did leave my hair with a bit more volume than I am used to, and I always need help with that. I had to use a little more than normal though to get the tangles out, but otherwise this worked perfectly.  




$12.00 - 0.2 oz    ($1.80 Value)

Pixi has always been a cheaper brand in my eyes, but this eyeshadow could hold up next to the best. These colors are perfect for me, and they are subtle but can still create some major drama. I like these mini palettes because I can't figure out how to use that many colors together, and these two go together perfectly. It looks like this originally came in bubble wrap to prevent from any breakage, but this actually arrived outside of the bubble wrap on broke. This is a little bit of a bummer, but I just pressed it back in and will totally be able to use it. I would feel safe even throwing this into my travel bag for more moving around. 




$35.00 - 60 ml    ($5.83 Value)

This is such a high quality product, and it is something that I could easily incorporate into my daily routine. This is definitely a high end brand for target, and this is also a brand that I have grown to love. This is summer, so I don't need moisture as much, but the sun does dehydrate your skin, so this is the perfect serum to use after a long day at the beach. I could definitely feel the added moisture right away, and it left my skin feeling soft and silky. I could see myself wearing this day or night since it is so light. I really like this serum, but I don't think I would purchase the full size product, because it is a little too expensive for me. 




$24.49 - 3 oz    ($0.20 Value)

This isn't the first time I've been able to sample this exfoliant since Target Beauty Box has included it before, but I am definitely not disappointed in receiving another sample. This product is all completely natural and made from ingredients that you can find in your kitchen. Thy say not to put products on your body that you can't eat, so this is a good example of edible beauty products. This surprisingly made my face feel really clean and even helped take care of some of my acne. I really like this product, but since it is so easy to make on my own, I would probably do that instead of purchasing this product. I think that homemade concoction would be a great gift.




$14.99 - 0.51 oz    ($1.76 Value)

I have heard a lot of negative reviews about this product since it leaves your skin really dewey and greasy. People have claimed the need to wash their face after applying this. Still, though, I've been dying to try this out, but I didn't want to wear it to work just in case it was as terrible as everyone has claimed. First off, this does create some great coverage. I could see it quickly cover up all of my flaws. I do understand their claims, though. It did make my skin greasier than before I put on this makeup, and the glow made me look dirty instead of luminous. I definitely prefer a matte skin, especially during these hot months where the weather will make it greasy on it's own. I am glad I had to sample to try out this product, because it saved me from purchasing the full size product. 




$20.49 - 1.7 oz    ($6.03 Value)

This is the kind of product that makes me love the Target Beauty Box so much. This isn't a full size, but it is pretty large, and it will last me a while. I am so used to face lotions to this caliber for night only since it will help cure your face while you sleep, but this will help fill fine lines and tighten skin during the day. I am all for this since I put lotion on my face daily just as much as nightly, and I could use it all day. This is a cream on the thicker side, too, which I love, yet it still rubs in perfectly. I am a big fan of this product, and will use every last drop. 




$15.00 - 10.1 fl oz    ($0.49 Value)

I've actually heard about this body butter from some YouTubers, and I always wanted to try. This body butter is super creamy and leaves my skin super soft and silky. Also, it smells so good. I know that this will cure skin over time, but this sample won't even cover my entire body, so it isn't exactly the best example. After this sample, I would consider purchasing the full size tub. Also, I am super pumped to know it is now available at target. 




$2.99 - 10 wipes    (Full Size!)

This is a brand and a product that I know and love, and I would easily purchase these over and over. These facial towelettes are the perfect product to clean your face when a sink just isn't available or to wash off that makeup after a long night when your normal routine is just too much work. Also, since this is mostly organic, I don't feel terrible about putting this on my face. This pack of 10 is perfect for travel or throwing in your gym bag. Normally, these facial wipes leave a film on my face that doesn't leave my face completely clean, but these leave my completely clear. I love these wipes so much, and I am super happy to have even more to use. 




$19.99 - 1.5 oz    ($4.65 Value)

I am super surprised to see this brand at Target, but should I be? Target has increasingly carried higher end brands that are loved my many. This makeup sunscreen is the perfect product for summer as it is super important to wear sunscreen and the light makeup won't leave a bunch of weight on your face that will just end up getting sweat off. I will say this doesn't have the best coverage, but it does serve as the perfect base. I will be wearing this daily all summer long, and I could definitely see myself purchasing the full size product when this runs out. 




$2.00 - 0.15 oz    (Full Size)

This product is absolutely perfect for me. Lip color tends to dry out my lips, so while it is ideal, I don't always use get a product that leaves my lips as moist they were before I put anything on them. I was expecting this color to be a lot deeper, but it ended up being pretty sheer. I am sure a lot of people wouldn't like that too much, but I am a big fan of the light color. Also, this felt like the perfect chapstick on my lips that lasted forever. I love this product so much, and it is so affordable. This is definitely my favorite find of the entire box!


Overall, I am really happy with this month's box. I will use absolutely everything in this box, and I discovered some new brand that I love and rediscovered some favorites. The only product that I don't think will get used up is the luminzer, but it is a one use sample anyways, and I am glad I was able to try it before I bought it. This box has a value of $30.63, which is a little low for a $10 box and really the only thing that is a little disappointing. It is plenty over the price, though, and since I will use everything, it is well worth the cost. 


If you would like to to try out Target Beauty box for yourself, you really have to pay attention to when they go on sale, because they go on sale pretty darn quickly. But, they are well worth the energy, because everything inside is great.

BoxyCharm May 2016 Review - Spring Vibes

Yea! My BoxyCharm has arrived for the month of May, and I am hoping for some beauty products that are light, pastel, and will get me ready for Spring. BoxyCharm is a monthly subscription box that delivers at least four full (but mostly five, sometimes even six) full size beauty products to your door for only $21 a box. The value of this box is usually over $100, which blows my mind every single time, and I am always finding products that I love. This box is a great way to build up your beauty collection at a small price, or a fun way to treat yourself or anyone you love to cheap gift.


This month’s theme is Spring Vibes. Not only are BoxyCharm’s products on point, but they also do a great job with the theme. Not only are their theme perfectly thought out, but the products go perfectly along. Spring Vibes is a little too typical, but I know that these products will be the perfect variety to get you, your face, and your skin ready for spring. I am hoping for a great skin product, some light makeup, and possibly a tanning or SPF product. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for me this month.



Makeup Geek Blush in XOXO

$15.00 - 0.15 oz

Alright, I saw the Makeup Geek product, and knew everyone in the world was freaking out except me. While I do like these products, it isn’t my absolute favorite brand, and I prefer less pigmented shades that don’t stand out as much. I am really happy that this is a full size container though, and that I don’t have to purchase a case to put it in since it already has one of it’s own. Also, this shade is very pretty and reminds me of Spring. It isn’t a color that I would’ve picked out on my own, but I really enjoy it, and could possibly see myself wearing more often than I think. I may be slowly changing my mind about this brand, but at least I know everyone else in the world is so excited to receive it right off the bat.




$10.50 - 0.5 fl oz

I used to hate receiving nail polishes in my subscription boxes, but recently I’ve been really enjoying the new shades. Also, since I don’t normally buy new colors that often, this is a way to try out new shades without spending a whole lot of cash. For this color in particular, I am a little bummed. This mint color is a little dated, and I don’t really foresee myself wearing a light bluish green on my nails at all. The packaging is cute though, and I may change my mind in the future. So, this will go in the closet like the rest of my nail polishes. I hope others really enjoy it.




$20.00 - 0.169 fl oz

Yea! I received a brow gel in a BoxyCharm about a year ago, and I used it up pretty quickly. I have tinted brow gels so I felt like I couldn’t purchase another, but I liked using that with my eyebrow pencils. This particular brow gel is a lot stronger than the other one they’ve sent us, yet it still doesn’t leave your eyebrows looking wet or crusty. I put this on in the morning, and by evening I could still feel it in my eyebrow. Also, the brand name is really cute. I am super happy with this product, and I know I will use it right up like the last.




$19.50

First of all, Starlooks isn’t one of my favorite brands. I’ve received a few products of theirs through BoxyCharm, and they’ve never fully appealed to me. I’ve use their eye shadow and eyeliner, but there are always colors and formulas that I like more. This lip liner is a BoxyCharm exclusive, which is cool, but it pretty much stops there. This mauve color is a little dated and matronly, and since I rarely use lip liner, I know that this will never get used. I am sure many other subscribers will love this product, but it just isn’t for me.




$21.00 - 0.02 oz

I am usually so bummed about receiving eyeliner in my subscription boxes, but they are usually black and not the best formula. I wear black eyeliner very rarely, since it is too dark for my complexion and my normal makeup look. Colored eyeliner, on the other hand, brings a flash of fun to my face, and blue in particular compliments my eyes. I have two other blue eyeliners, but neither of them are this cool of a shade. This is a deep, denim blue, with just a touch of green. Also, it is duel ended, so you can choose between the liquid or the pencil sides depending on what kind of look you’re going for. I am really excited about this color and this product, and I will have to try it out as soon as possible. Just by wearing it on my hand when sampling, I can tell this is pretty long lasting.



$20.00 - 0.3 fl oz

I am one of those people that really enjoy perfume samples or deluxe bottles in my subscription boxes, so I am super excited about this product. I received one of the scents from this brand in a BoxyCharm from a few month’s ago, and I think it is the perfect weekend day scent. Therefore, I have been wearing it to every single brunch date I’ve had since. This is another scent I would consider to be daytime, but it could easily work for a night, as long as you’re not trying to be sexy. This has scents of jasmine  rose, and violet with undertones of . This has quickly become one of my favorite scents of spring, and I could see myself wearing this all summer long. It brings a little joy to catch of whiff throughout the day.


Overall, this box was pretty great, but not one of the best. I am in love with the perfume, eyeliner, and brow gel. They will all be used by me frequently. The blush is really nice, and a great quality, but the color is just a little too bright for me, and I prefer colors that are less pigmented. I really like the branding of the nail polish, but the color isn’t my favorite, and the lipliner is an absolute bust. This month has a value of $106. That is actually a little low for BoxyCharm, but still insane, sicne I only paid $21. Even not loving three of the six items, this box is well worth the price. Also, for the items that I don’t love, they would make great gifts to any of my girl friends.

PopSugar Must Have May 2016 Review

Yea! My PopSugar Must have box has arrived for the month of May, and while I don't know everything inside, I've seen the inspirational words and a spoiler and so far it's really exciting. PopSugar is a subscription box that delivers the best and most popular in beauty, fashion, home decor, books, fitness, and food. I like the wide range of products, and the new discoveries I recieve in each box. They also have a slight theme that you can see throughout, which adds to the fun. It is a little pricier at $39.95 a month, but the value is always over $100, so it is well worth the cost. I can't wait to see what is inside. 


This month's inspirational words are fitness, relaxation, health, hydration, yoga, and deep breaths. Every single of of those appeal to me, so I have a feeling that this is going to be a great box. I really enjoy going strong and getting in shape, but I also have to reserve time to relax and take care of my body. I am hoping for a new water bottle, a at home spa product, and a new yoga tool or video. I think it's going to be all great with or without those guesses though.



Bluma Project Capri Bracelets

$44.00

While I do like the meaning and purpose behind these and that they are handmade, but these aren't really my style. They are super cute, though, and I love the colors. They are perfect for Spring/Summer, and I could see these pairing well with a summer dress or a tank and pair of shorts. They are pretty small, so I could see these not fitting everyones wrist, and they are stretchy so I could see them breaking easily. I do like other bracelets on their site that are more my style, though, so I might have to check out the site later. These aren't my favorite item, especially since I don't think I'd ever wear them, but I can see how many other people would absolutely love the pair. I'll just regift or pass these along to one of my friends. 



Happy Spritz Breath Deeply

$25.00 - 3.4 oz 

While aromatherapy is a new fad, I've been using it for years, and have found it to work great as a natural remedy for so many ailments. This not only works perfectly with so many of the inspirational words, but it is also something that I am super excited about and would never expect to receive in this subscription box. This spritz contains peppermint and eucalyptus which sooth, stimulate, refresh, and cool. I like that this can be used when you're immunity is low and you feel a cold coming, or if you need a pick me up while falling asleep at your work desk or when you need a little help to push through a workout. This is a great product, and something I will use a lot. I have a spritz of lavender for my pillow when I am having difficulties falling asleep, and it works every single time. What a great product, and the packaging is great too. Love it!



Spongelle Spongology Body Buffer 

$20.00 - 4 oz

We've actually received a sponge from this brand from a box about a year ago, and I received one recently from BoxyCharm. While this may seem like overlap and boring, but it is actually a great thing. I've loved both of the products from the past. They all smell amazing, the sponge does a great job to buff your skin, and they are so simple and practical. Out of the three, this one smells the least amazing, but the sponge itself is the one I am most excited for. The color and shape is so natural and classic, but it has larger pores to really buff out your skin. These claim to last at least 20 washes, but they really last much longer. I've used ones in the past for at least three months. I can't wait to throw this in the shower and use it over and over again. This product will definitely help you relax in a long bath or clean off after an intense yoga session. 



Gaiam Foldable Yoga Mat

$24.98

I am super pumped about this product. I know that they sometimes have fitness items, and they really aren't often enough or that practical. This product, on the other hand, is perfect. I use a yoga mat all the time, and mine is crumbling apart, since it was pretty cheap. This mat has a lifetime guarantee, so I know it won't fall apart all over my carpet, and the folding ability allows you to store it in smaller places. This is finally a yoga mat that you can pack into an overnight bag or throw into a backpack. Sometimes, it is nice to not have to carry around a big log. I am really happy with this mat, and I know I will use it so often. This is a great addition and possibly my favorite in the whole box. Also, this will help with fitness, relaxation, health, deep breathes, and yoga itself. 


Kocostar Foot Therapy 

$10.00 - 1.35 fl oz

While this may be a cheaper item, I am so pumped about this product, and seriously can't wait to try it out. I've always had problems with my feet, and they are constantly sore and itchy. Let's not even get started with the calluses. This is like a sheet mask for your feet, and they are little booties that you wear for an hour and a half while you rest or watch tv. The ingredients like castor oil, dandelion leaf, and lactic acid soften up calluses and hydrates skin. I used this last night, and my feet look and feel great. It wasn't a huge difference, but I am much more willing to take off my socks and put on some sandals, which is perfect now that the weather is warming up. It did kinda hurt while it was in the solution, but not that badly, and I could see myself purchasing more of these in the future. What a great way to treat yourself and get ready for spring all at the same time. 




$2.49 - 1.6 oz

I absolutely love clean snack bars that are more chewy than crunch, and this is all of the above. It reminds me of my favorite Cliff bar, and it is both filing and satisfying. Since these are gluten free, dairy free, and all natural, I don't feel so bad eating them. Also, the whole bar is less than 200 calories, so I don't feel terrible about eating the whole thing. I really enjoyed the food product for this month, and I feel pretty healthy after eating it. Plus, there is a ton of protein, so this would be a great pre or post workout snack.

This is listed as a special extra, so I am already happy about receiving a full size beauty product as an item that doesn't even go against the cost of the box. This mascara promises to create mega volume while still lengthening lashes. I've tried other mascara products from this brand, and I liked them well enough, so I think that I am really going to enjoy this mascara, especially since I really try to achieve both of those things. I really like the packaging too. The blue top is pretty cool, and I like that the brush matches. Pretty cool. 




$1.69 - 16 fl oz

This drink is a pretty cool concept, and I am really excited about being able to try it out. This water is all natural, and is basically water with just a caffeine and flavor additive. I know that most people wouldn't really care for the lemon and cayenne flavors, but that is totally up my alley. The flavor is really light, but it really is as much as you'd want. Also, since there is the same amount of caffeine in here than a cup of coffee, this would be a great alternative when I don't especially feel like a cup of coffee, or I want to hydrate but still want the energy kick. I think this would be a great pre workout drink or something to sip while at the beach or at the park. I really enjoy this special extra and would totally pick up another bottle if I ever see it in the store.  




$10 Gift Card

Usually their gift cards have a larger value, but this is a nice little addition and fun extra in the box. I've been checking out their website, and I really like all the homemade gifts from stationary to blankets, clothing, and children's toys. I am really interested in their natural beauty products too. Unfortunately, the only item for $10 or under is sold out, so you'll have to fork out some of your own money, but that could help cover half the cost. I might buy myself a mug or a chapstick, or maybe find a gift my my niece or nephew. 



I absolutely love this month's box. I don't think I've liked a single subscription box more. The yoga mat, aromatherapy spritz, body buffer, foot therapy, mascara, snack bar, and caffeinated water are all a hit. The gift card is fun too. The bracelets aren't my favorite, and it is the only product that I won't use all the time, but they are still pretty, and I like the good cause. This month's box has a value of $147.15. That is insane for a $40 box, and since I really like mostly all the products, I will get full use of that value. I don't know if PopSugar will ever be able to do this again, but I am really happy with this subscription, and I am excited to see what they have in store for the months to come.
