As part of PopSugar Select, PopSugar.com's blogger network, I'm presented with wonderful opportunities every now and then. The moment I got this email, I jumped at the chance to be considered.
I got an email in January asking if I'd like to be considered to receive a complimentary PopSugar Must Have Box. This is a subscription box service that costs $40 a month but is valued at over $100. I've watched the ladies of EleventhGorgeous unbox their boxes every month and always lusted after the insane products they received.
PopSugar Must Have isn't just beauty or home products, it's a combination of food, beauty, fashion, work, and home. It has everything and more! Each month subscribers receive five or six products based around the theme that month.
In early April I got an email that my complimentary April box had shipped; I immediately cheated and looked at other bloggers who had received their box and I was super happy with what was inside.
It took a little while for my box to arrive at my doorstep but when it did, it definitely did not disappoint. April's box was all about spring cleaning, eco friendly, and going green so all the products centered around this idea.
1. BlueAvocado Eco Shopper: This is an eco friendly shopper tote made by Lauren Conrad that retails for $25. It's perfect for farmer's markets or a day at the park.
2. Too Faced Natural Eyes: This is what I was most excited for in the box! This is an updated version of the palette with new, different shades. It's made up of all neutral colors and even though I have my Naked 3 Palette which I love, it's nice to change it up a little bit. Too Faced has been one of my favorite makeup brands for the longest time and their quality of shadows did not disappoint. This retails for $36.
3. Graphic Image Pocket Notes: I love Graphic Image and all their python, embossed products. This is the perfect, adorable pocket sized notepad that has an adorable "Run the World" saying on the front.
It's great for writing down quick notes and fits nicely in your bag. It retails for $20.
4. Caldrea Rosewater Drifwood Hand Soap: I received a sample of Caldrea handsoap in one of my Birchboxes last year and was pleasantly surprised with it. It left my hands really soft and smelled wonderful; this full size wasn't any different. It retails at $10.50.
5. Fresh Pastry Stand Totally Awesome Tea Towel Set: These are some large tea towels; they're also made from water based ink and perfect for your home. I'll probably be giving these to my mom once I get home. They retail at $18 and are totally adorable.
6. NatureBox PopSugar Must Have Mix: I'm not super excited about this trail mix especially made for PopSugar since it has almonds, soybeans, corn, and cranberries but hey, if you're into that kind of stuff this is for you! It retails at $5.
All in all, this box definitely retailed for $100 and I was really happy with it. I think once I start working with a steady paycheck I'll forget all the other subscription services and focus on this one because for $40 a month, its a nice little treat for yourself.
