Therese.LockemyI signed up for the annual PopSugar Must Have box right around the time that COVID peaked. If I was going to be stuck at home I would at least have a seasonal box of goodies dropped off. I got my Spring box, which I really liked, especially the Shell Bisque Cereal Bowls. I’m unboxing the PopSugar Must Have Summer Edition box below. I’m looking forward to trying a few things that came in this box and you always get way more value than what you pay for. Each season’s box is $75 and I calculated the value of this summer box at $343.97. That is a sweet deal!
Roxanne Assoulin
These bracelets are so cute. These would pair well with almost anything, capris, jeans with sandals and a t-shirt, a maxi dress, and the list goes on. When my 17-year-old saw these she thought they were anklets. I don’t see why you couldn’t use them as both a bracelet and an anklet. You can see these here and they sell for $75 for 12 bracelets. There were 10 that came in the box – retail at $62.50. Basically this alone covered the cost of the box.
Mary Soi – Tanya Raffia Crossbody
Also in my box came this crossbody Mary Soi purse, valued at $59. Y’all, I wanted to love this purse. The organization has a good story, this purse was handmade in Madagascar and is made with sustainable material. Honestly, it is just the type of purse I wish I could rock. Truth is I’ve bought two new purses in the last 6 months and I just know I will never really use it. So I went ahead and placed it on PoshMark Closet for someone else to grab this up and give it more love than I will. If you are digging this, let me know, and I can send it to you for less than what I have it listed at. Really want it to go to a good home ☺️
Antica Farmacista
I can’t wait to use this lush palm candle. It’s valued at $46, which is honestly about $20 more than I’d ever pay for a candle. It’s suppose to give you 60 hours of burn time and the neat part is that the different sections of the candle gives off different scents. The top of the candle gives off of hints of Dewy Banana Leaf, Aloe and Tart Green Apple, the middle is said to smell like Crisp Saltwater, Tahitian Gardenia and Sambac Jasmine and once you get to the end of the candle you will smell Labdanum, Sweet Amber and Mexican Vanilla. Thought this was a neat concept, I could wake up one morning and my office would small different than the day before.
Farmacy Very Cherry Bright Vitamin C Serum
This serum looks amazing! This serum goes for $62. It’s packed with 4 forms of vitamin C. It’s supposed to moisturize, improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, brighten your skin, and help lighten dark spots. If I didn’t already have an All Bright C Serum that I loved, I would try this. If no one snags it from my PoshMark Closet by the time my existing serum runs out I might give it a try. It has really strong reviews, 237 people have reviewed it and it’s sitting at about 4.5 stars.
If you’ve read some of my other posts you know that I’m on a slow but steady journey to switch to cleaner beauty. I would say 90% of what I use on my body, hair and face are clean. Unfortunately, this product is not listed on the EWG Skin Deep site, but I did look up every ingredient, and all of them are in the safe zone, between 1 and 4.
Pool to Party by Subtle Luxury
I love this Birds of Paradise Pareo. It goes for $68 on their site and looks like a perfect solution to cover up my thunder thighs ? I’m slowly but surely losing weight, but not there yet so this would serve as a nice cover-up. I’m not typically a floral person, but I do every once in a while like to add it into the mix. It’s also neat how many different ways you can wear this.
C’est Moi Gentle Makeup Remove Cleansing Wipes
I think I have a little bit of an addiction to makeup wipes. I have my main go-to wipes that I use and I have about 4 other packs that I’ve accumulated. I need to look at how long these last, but I think I will keep these too. These wipes also are fragrance-free with clean ingredients and they are made for delicate skin. Extra bonus! Their packaging materials are recyclable.

Some will disagree with me, but makeup wipes or some type of cleanser that melts off makeup is a must for me. Any cleansers I’ve used do not get all of the makeup off, so I always go in either with a makeup wipe first or I go in with a cleansing balm that melts the makeup off first and then I will go in with a light cleanser after that. These makeup wipes will be perfect for my trip to Flordia and I’m so excited I found another beauty company that is focused on clean products.
R.E.D.D and Daily Crunch Snacks
These both are gone, like gone the day after I got the box ? I have been on a mission for the last month to get healthier, lose inches and feel stronger. I struggle though with feeling hungry and grabbing the first thing that strikes me. This first thing is always something I shouldn’t be consuming. I was excited to get to have some healthy options. The R.E.D.D bar is an oatmeal plant-based protein bar that includes probiotics, probiotics, and adaptogenic mushrooms. Say what? Adaptogenic mushrooms? I had no idea what these were until I wrote this post. They are evidently a superfood. See here for 6 popular adaptogenic mushrooms and their health benefits. Also in the box was this yummy Daily Crunch Cherry Berry Nut Medley. These together were only $6.48, but they were two of my favorite items.
Natural Vitality CALM
I’m looking forward to trying this magnesium supplement. Not only does it have amazing reviews on Amazon. Almost 6K reviews at a 4.6 star rating. But it’s also suppose to reduce stress and relax your muscles. This is considered a sponsored product, so I don’t think they calculate this as part of the box, but it’s $19.99 on Amazon. Sounds like a pretty good add-on to me.
Batiste
This is a waterless cleansing foam for your hair. They note it’s for normal or dry hair. The foam contains almond oil that supports hair strength. This is only $9.99 on Amazon. I’ve used it once and it worked pretty well. The day before I used this I had used a diffuser and adding this foam on the seconnd day made my waves not look so dry.
I have a referral code if you want to try at the Pop Sugar Must Have box. We both get $20 off our next box by using this link.
