Pop Sugar Must Have Box April 2014

Tonight I'm sharing my first Pop Sugar Must Have Box! Unlike my other subscription boxes, Pop Sugar features full size and premium items in beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and food!

 

April Pop Sugar Must Have

 

Blue Avocado (Eco) Shopper

$25.00 Value!

 

Laruen Conrad joined forces with Blue Avocado to create this reusable, collapsible tote. I think the pattern is pretty cute and perfect for the season! I will definitely get a ton of use out of it at Wegmans.

 

Too Faced Natural Eyes

$36.00 Value!

 

The whole reason I decided to finally try out Pop Sugar was because of this Eyeshadow palette! I love my Too Faced Loves Sephora 15 Years Of Beauty Palette and just had to get my hands on this new palette since it contains 3 new shades! The shadows are just gorgeous and would be perfect for everyday. I will be making a follow up post with swatches from this palette.

 

 

Graphic Image Pocket Notes

$20.00 Value!

 

This is quite a luxurious notebook! I love the saying on the cover and find the color really suiting. I will have to find something worthy of it's use. 

 

Caldrea Rosewater Driftwood Hand Soap

$10.50 Value!

 

 I was so excited for this product since I have been obsessed with the scent of rose lately. I really liked the Coconut Fig Leaf body wash I got from them in my April Glossybox, and this hand soap smells just as good!

 

 

Fresh Pastry Stand Totally Awesome Tea Towel Set

$18.00 Value!

 One says Totally and other says Awesome. And for some reason that makes me think of the Lego Movie song, Everything Is Awesome! But while I wouldn't have personally spent this much on two dish towels, I've been putting them to good use.

 

NatureBox POPSUGAR Must Have Mix

$5.00 Value!

 

I really enjoyed this healthy snack, especially the cranberries! I would consider checking out Nature Box in the future.
 

Total Cost: $39.95 ($20.00 with promo code CHANNEL7)

Total Value: $114.50!

 Overall, I was really happy with this box! I like that the box is well rounded and all the items are full sized! Even though I would have never purchased half of the items on my own, I know I will end up using them all. Plus the Too Faced palette alone was well worth the price I paid for the box!!

What's your take on the April box?

Glossybox April 2014

Evening Sirens! Today I'm finally going to share with you my Glossybox for the month of April (even though it didn't arrive until May)! 

 

April Glossybox
 

 

LA SPLASH COSMETICS (Eyeshadow Sealer/Base)

Full Size (0.3 fl oz)-$9.00 Value!

The packaging on this product is really interesting-I'm not sure what the deal is with the long handle. Haha. But it's a practical item because I can always use an Eyeshadow base. I don't prefer this model over my usual Eyeshadow primers, but maybe it will work well with glitter.

 

AQUA SPA (Relax Body Creme)

Deluxe Size (2 oz)-$2.22 Value!

Since we just started the facial segment in school, I'm ecstatic to get a product designed for relaxation. I've been quite the makeup addict, but I'm getting more into bath and body products. I love that this body crème contains lavender and chamomile. I definitely want to check out other products from this line.

 

BELLAPIERRE (Vanilla Pink SUPER Gloss)

Full Size (0.32 fl oz)-$24.50 Value!

At first I wasn't too psyched to see we were getting this in the April box. But I still haven't tried the blush I got in January's Glossybox, so for all I know this brand could be amazing. I wasn't sure about the color, but since I love pink and vanilla I eventually gave this lip gloss a try. I'm glad I decided to try this gloss out after all because I like it far more than I originally thought! It is actually a really nice color-not super pink, but not as brown as I was imagining. It feels really smooth on the lips and it's probably going to end up being one of my everyday lip glosses.

 

CALDREA (Body Wash)

Deluxe Size (1 fl oz)-$1.57 Value!

I got Caldrea Rosewater Driftwood Hand Soap in my first Pop Sugar Must Have box (post to follow), and I'm equally excited to try out their body wash in the scent Coconut Fig Leaf. This shower gels smells great-I just love the smell of coconut!!

 

CIATE LONDON (Paint Pot)

Full Size (0.46 fl oz)-$15.00 Value!

I was super excited when I found out we would be getting a full size Ciate nail polish in the April box While I have purchased a couple of their nail art kits, I haven't had the chance to try them out yet, so I could not wait to get my hands on this polish. I received the color Beach Hut, and while it's a nice looking shade, it's not something I would have picked out for myself. But it is perfect for summer and would be a great pedicure color. I'll either keep it to add diversity to my nail polish collection or give it to my sister because I think it would look fabulous on her.

Total Cost: $18.33 (With Annual Subscription)

Total Value: $52.29!!

I really liked that this month's box contained less makeup items. Even though I am a makeup junkie,  my collection is massive. I think I'll get more use from this variety of items. I am especially excited for the Aqua Spa Relax Body Crème and Caldrea body wash. It just figures that the two items I want to try most and will get the most use out of didn't come in the full size!!
