Pop Sugar Must Have Box Review-March 2014

Pop Sugar Must Have Box Review-March 2014

The Pop Sugar Must Have box is far and away my favorite subscription box.  Every month, Pop Sugar delivers full sized products and premium items in the categories of food, fitness, home, fashion and beauty. This box is $39.99 a month with free shipping.  The products received always significantly exceed the cost of the box.  

The March box was supposed to welcome us into spring with products focused on new beginnings. 

Here we go, the box is a simple pink and white design:


First look:


Must Have Fashion: Brokedown Blue Ikat Scarf (suggested retail $72.00)


This scarf is softer than soft and very lightweight.  If there wasn't snow on the ground I would be wearing it today.  The tie dye pattern is subtle and the colors are vibrant.  These scarf alone exceeds the value of the entire box.  I absolutely love it.  The scarves on Brokedown's website retail for $72.00.  They included a 20% coupon code for dogeared products.  The code expires June 1, 2014.  

Must Have Beauty: Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advance Serum (suggested retail $27.00)


As a woman approaching her mid-thirties (eeek), I love a good serum.  This serum is supposed to diminish dullness, reduce fine lines and increase hydration, all while protecting your skin from everyday harshness. These are all good things.  I will do a review on this product after I have tried it out for a few weeks. They also included a coupon code for 15% off your first Jurlique order.  The code is POPSUGAR.  

Must Have Home: Baublebar Elephant Ring Tree (suggested retail $12.00)


LOVE LOVE LOVE.  I collect elephants, so this was right up my alley.  It is so much cuter than the picture.  I also would pay more than $12.00 for this item.  It is rather small and I probably won't use it as a ring tree, but it now has a spot on my bathroom counter.  Also contained in the box was a coupon code for 20% off an order of $30.00 from baublebar.  

Must Have Fashion (#2): Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe Make a Wish Necklace (suggested retail $30.00)


You are supposed to make a wish, then put on this necklace.  When the string of the necklace wears off, the horseshoe will invite good fortune into your life.  This is an adorable idea, it just really isn't my style.  It will be a great gift for a friend.  

Must Have Fitness: Activeforever Fusion Exercise Ball (suggested retail $9.95)


This is a teeny, tiny exercise ball.  It can be used for working out your  thighs, abs or arms.  It comes with a small straw to blow it up.   Hmmm...this is so little.  I will need to consult with my active friend to determine if this is useful or if it is a gimmick.  

Must Have Food: Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps (suggested retail $2.00)


I love these.  I crave these.  They are actually my favorite snack.  I was so excited to receive more snapea crisps in my Pop Sugar box.  They were devoured immediately upon opening the box.  Delicious, salty and weight watchers friendly.  Win-win!  

Special Extra: Nature's Bakery All Natural Strawberry Fig Bars 


These bars are supposed to be great in the morning or after an evening workout.  They are all natural and all yum.  A six-pack of these bars retails for $39.76 on Amazon.  

Total Value: $152.95 (plus the fig bar)
Price Paid: $39.99

Overall, this box was a win for me.  The scarf alone exceeded the value of the box and is something I know I will wear all the time.  I can't wait to try the serum and the elephant ring tree is absolutely adorable.  Excellent job again Pop Sugar!

  1. I had a feeling you would be excited about the elephant :) I was going to offer to trade if you got a different animal! And as one of your "active" friends, I have no clue what to do with the little pink ball :/
