April 2015 POPSUGAR Must Have Box Review

 "Spring, Simplicity, Markets, Outdoors"

These words were the inspiration for the April 2015 Popsugar Must Have Box.

Popsugar Must Have hit it out of the park this months.  I love this box; it's my favorite box in quite a long time.  Well curated, and it feels like a spring, April box.  Luxurious, too.  I'm going to actually use everything here!

This box only has 5 items, instead of the usual 6, and because if this there feels like something is missing.  Maybe a yummy snack?  But overall a successful box.

 POPSUGAR Must Have is a monthly subscription lifestyle box for gals.  The cost is $39.95 a month, free shipping, but it's cheaper when you subscribe with a 3, 6, or 12 months subscription.  On any month you can receive goodies for home, a book, fitness, snack, makeup, pampering, fashion, etc.  You never know what you're going to get, only that it will be fun and worth around $100, give or take a little.
 

The April box is sold out, but the May box is currently on sale.  If you like this box you can sign up and click the "wait list" box for the April box, but it's not a guarantee at all that you will receive it.  Coupon code MUSTHAVE5 saves you $5!

 Each month Popsugar Must Have provides a really nice pamphlet describing each item.

 Produce Candles Rhubarb Spring Candle, $20.

This is an all natural soy wax candle, crafted in Charleston, South Carolina.  The scent is wonderfully soft and sweet, but not in a sickeningly sweet way.  I burned this candle last night, and am currently burning it, and I love it.  A really lovely candle that smells like Spring.

 And Popsugar took such care packaging this candle for safe travel.

 Flip + Tumble Reusable Bag, $12

If you go to their site there are so many color variations that are fun.

I like this navy and grey combo.

 The ball opens up into a bag, so you can take it to the grocery store or a farmers market.

When you open up the bag, the pouch that you stuff the bag into doubles as a pocket.  After I had opened it all up I was intimidated, but it was super easy and fast stuffing the bag into a ball.  The ball is the perfect size to carry anywhere.  This bag can hold up to 35 pounds and is well made.

 Dabney Lee Umbrella, $20

An umbrella!!  Too bad I didn't receive this box a day earlier, because it rained all Wednesday, and I don't have an umbrella.  This umbrella is so well made and sturdy.  And it has an auto open and close!!!  My favorite feature of any umbrella.

 The shape of this umbrella is really cute, and I like the little ruffle on the top.

 One Love Organics Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum, $39

 This is the luxury item of the box.  It's so light on the skin, and the smell is warm and springy.  I'm not a huge gardenia fan, but I love this.  The trick, now, is to not use it all up super fast!

"With each decadent mist, Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum intensely nourishes, hydrates and promotes firmer, smoother and more supple skin. This formula features clinically proven Antileukine 6®, an antioxidant powerhouse, to help defend against environmental stressors and elemental dryness. Ultra-light and easily absorbed, Gardenia + Tea Body Serum can be used alone or layered with your favorite sunscreen or lotion for an intensely hydrating treatment.  100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin 21.7% of the total ingredients are from organic farming Natural and Organic Cosmetics certified by Ecocert Greenlife according to Ecocert Standard available at http://cosmetics.ecocert.com"

 Potting Shed Creations, Garden in a Bag Organic Basil, $10

The food item this month is one in which we grow.

 Honestly, I'm a little nervous about growing this basil, as my windowsill doesn't get enough direct sunlight during the day, but I'll give it a go.  I love basil, especially with mozzarella/cream cheese and tomato, sitting happily on a cracker.

I will admit that I'm a little bummed about not having an immediate snack to eat.  This is the first month Popsugar hasn't had a treat/food item, granting you don't kill the basil.

Special Extra

Mott 50 $25 Gift Card Code

I'm not a big fan of gift cards in Sub boxes.  I do like the clothes on the site, and the idea of having shirts and whatnot with UVA and UVB protection.  Even with the gift card their clothes are still a little steep for my wallet.  I am thinking about that baseball cap.  The gift card doesn't cover shipping and tax.  Each card has a unique code.

We also got a Flip & Tumble 20% off coupon and a Produce Candles 35% off coupon.

These are the Hints and Spoilers for the May 2015 Popsugar Must Have Box: Colorful, California Sun, Glowing Skin, Fresh Flowers.

I'm not so sure about this necklace.  It looks cute, but this style typically works well on only small chested women.  We'll see.  I'm curious.

The May box is currently on sale.  Use coupon code MUSTHAVE5 to save $5!

April 2014 POPSUGAR Must Have Box Review with Spoilers

 I love POPSUGAR Must Have!!  And April was an amazing month for this subscription box.

POPSUGAR is a monthly subscription lifestyle box for gals.  The cost is $39.95 a month, free shipping, but it's cheaper when you subscribe with a 3, 6, or 12 months subscription.

On any month you can receive goodies for home, a book, fitness, snack, makeup, pampering, fashion, etc.  You never know what you're going to get, only that it will be fun and worth around $100, give or take a little.

Coupon code REFER5 saves you $5! 

 Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette, valued at $36.  No joke, late March I was in a Sephora admiring the Too Faced eye palettes, thinking how wonderful it would be to get one in a Popsugar box.  Low and behold I got one!!  (I need to do this more ofter :0)  This was the spoiler Popsugar released early April, and I showed it to my Mom, super excited, and it made her want to get the box just for the eye shadow.  We both love it.  Beautiful in person.

 Run The World Graphic Image, valued $20.  This is a really nice, pocket size journal.  The pages are high quality, and it's bound nicely.  I love journals so I'm excited to get this.

 Fresh Pastry Stand Totally Awesome Tea Towel Set,  valued at $18.  I'm not so sure about these "Totally" "Awesome" tea towels.  But these towels are larger then I thought they were going to be, and the clothe itself is really nice.  These will get some good use.

 Blue Avocado Eco Shopper, valued at $25.  I love this!!!  A bag that zips up into a pouch for traveling.  Amazing.  And the print is cute, too.

 Caldrea Rosewater Driftwood Hand Soap,  valued at $10.50.  "With Caldrea Rosewater Driftwood Hand Soap, hands are soft, clean and fragrant as the bottle brightens kitchen or bath. Aloe Vera Gel, Olive Oil and essential oils cleanse and condition."  I love the smell of this hand soap, which I've been using a few days now.  Very nice.

Nature Box POPSUGAR Must Have Mix, valued $5.  This is a POPSUGAR must have exclusive mix.  When I saw the spoilers I wasn't so sure about this really healthy snack, but now that I've tried it I love it.

Another awesome month for Popsugar.

April 2014 Your Bijoux Box Review with Spoilers

 Your Bijoux Box is a Jewelry Subscription monthly box, costing $35 with free shipping.  Ships to the USA and Canada.

You can read my review of the March 2014 Your Bijoux Box here to see past contents.  This is my second box, and it's another winner!!

 This box came with a jewelry cleaning cloth with simple instructions, and every box comes with an info card detailing the pieces Shana and Dorota selected.

Quick note, this box got sent late, and Shana wrote a little note on the info card as an apology, and there were two bonus items in the box!  Complete surprise.  And I ordered a 2nd May box, because I LOVE the spoiler, and Dorota contacted me yesterday to ask if my order was right, if I really wanted that second box, or if I wanted a single May box and have my subscription resume in June.

Amazing costumer service and response.  These two ladies truly care about this subscription they've put together, and they go above and beyond to make sure the quality remains constant.  There's so many jewelry subscriptions out there, and I did a lot of research in choosing one, and I'm so, so happy I choose Your Bijoux Box.

 Posy Circles Necklace:  I love this necklace.  It's delicate and girly, and I like it better then a lot of the pieces I've seen in J.Crew.  This necklace goes nicely with one of my pink sweaters.

 En Contradiction Tassel: This was the spoiler for the April box, so I've known about it for a month.  At first I was disappointed, not understanding the idea behind a tasseled necklace, but then I went into an Anthropology and they had a huge selection of tasseled necklaces with string.  I don't understand the string.

This piece is really high quality, two toned, with rhinestones.  I love how the tasseled bit is gold chain, and the chain itself is double layered with good weight. 

 The Sweet Amelie Necklace:  I LOVE this necklace.  Didn't mean to yell, but it's true.  The jeweled flower is a about the size of a nickel, which seems small, but is honestly the perfect size.  This necklace is elegant and dainty.

My bonus pieces!!

 This triangle necklace has quickly become one of my favorites.  I would, honestly, never choose it for myself, but it's the perfect length and size, and it just looks cool.  And I love the color of the pearls.

And I got these earrings.  So beautiful.

This April box is a huge win, and now I can't wait for May :0)
