January Popsugar Must Have Box

Affiliate Links
 
January Popsugar Must Have Box featuring items from First Aid Beauty, KeepCup, Manduka, Jack and Lucy, Nature Valley, ToGoSpa and Skin Jewel Tattoos

I decided to subscribe to Popsugar! While I’m super excited about the January box I did decide to cancel for right now. We’ve had some unexpected expenses come up and $40 for a box, no matter how great the value is, is to much right now. However, as soon as we can afford it I’m totally signing back up for this subscription!

Make sure to watch the January Popsugar Must Have video above. If you can’t see the above video click here.

Manduka Hand Towel

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a Manduka Yoga Hand Towel

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a Manduka Hand Towel. This towel is a microfiber towel and is super soft. While I don’t personally do yoga yet, I do currently do Blogilates and this will be great for that.

Purchase

KeepCup Coffee Mug

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box is a KeepCup Glass Coffee Mug

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a KeepCup glass coffee mug. Even though it has a bright pink band the Hubs immediately called Dibs on the KeepCup. He’s used it tons since I got the January Popsugar Must Have Box and loves it. When we have some extra money he’s going to upgrade his band to a Rave Green one.

Purchase

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box is First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I’ve heard great things about First Aid Beauty and add in that this is supposed to be great for eczema and I can’t wait to give this a try! Look for a review soon.

Purchase

Jack + Lucy Pom Pom Beanie

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box is the Jack and Lucy Pom Pom Beanie

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a Jack + Lucy Pom Pom Beanie. While I love the look and design of the Jack + Lucy Pom Pom Beanie, I think that it might be a bit to big for my head.

ToGoSpa Eye Patches

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box is ToGoSpa Eye Patches

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a pack of ToGoSpa Eye Patches. I’ve seen tons of YouTubers talk/use these in their vlogs and they’re always raving about them so I’ve been wanting to give any brand of them a try. I’m super excited to be able to try the ToGoSpa Eye Patches and look for a review of them soon as well.

Purchase

Nature Valley Peanut Butter n Dark Chocolate Granola

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box is Nature Valley Peanut Butter n Dark Chocolate Granola

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a bag of Nature Valley Peanut Butter ‘n Dark Chocolate Granola. This stuff is AUH-MAZING. If you watch the YouTube video above you’ll see that Ducky was fighting to get some (no I did not give her any as chocolate is lethal to birds).

Purchase

Skin Jewel Tattoos

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a pack of Skin Jewell Tattoos sponsored by Empire

One item in the January Popsugar Must Have Box was a pack of Skin Jewel Tattoos, these were sponsored by the new show Empire. To be honest, I’m not a big fan of items like this so I’ll probably be trading these away.

Purchase

January Popsugar Must Have Box Contents

My January Popsugar Must Have Box cost me $39.95 and I received about $100 worth of full-size products! My favorite item from this month’s box was the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I’ve been wanting to try First Aid Beauty for awhile and starting with a product that is targeted at eczema specifically is great! My least favorite item from this month’s box was the Skin Jewel Tattoos as I’m just not a fan of these type of products.

    Hey, Cassie! Do you think the value of the items included was worth the $40? I mean, I’m sure they retail for more or equal to that, but how did you feel about the like, personal value for the money? I’m intrigued by this box, but I’m put off by the bottom line, I guess.

      That’s a great question! I actually unsubscribed from Glossybox for the exact reason you’re asking about Popsugar, the boxes always had a great RETAIL value but the personal value for me was always hit and miss. Having seen past unboxings of the Popsugar Must Have Box I would say that if you like getting lifestyle items then yes this has a great personal value. The ONLY reason that I’m not continuing my subscription is because with personal things going on I just can’t afford the $40 no matter how great the personal value is or how much I love the items. As soon as I have the extra money I will be resubscribing as I love most of the items that have been included in the past 6 months worth of boxes. 🙂
