The February Pop Sugar Must Have box was going to be the box that determines if I keep this subscription, but unfortunately I'm still undecided. I really liked this box but I'm also loving SeasonsBox, so I have to decide if I want to keep both, just one, or what exactly I want to do (more to come on that later).If you sign up through my blog please use my referral link :) http://popsu.gr/EAI
So here's the description for the February box "Whether you're single or couples up, love is in the air in February. Spoil yourself with a luxurious after-bath wrap, pucker up with a new lip color, and update your undergarments. Get wrapped up in a romantic love story before seeing it on the big screen while indulging in classic Valentine's Day treat; chocolate and conversation hearts. We hope you enjoy these special valentines from us to you."
Here's what was inside, in case you couldn't guess from the description:
Must Have Fashion
Brokedown Wrap: This is made by the same company as the infamous September scarf that everyone loved. The wrap unfortunately was not as big of a hit for everyone. The wrap came in a few different colors (white and baby pink appear to be the most common) and is listed as "one size fits all." Aside from the fact that this wrap clearly will not fill all the members who receive this box because everyone is a different weight, chest size etc, it's also VERY short. I'm 5'2" and this thing will barely cover my butt! With that aside, I think this is really pretty and soft and I was super excited when I received it. I'll definitely use it in the summer! Sorry for the bad picture, I wasn't sure how to photograph this without putting it on, which I was not about to do!
The box also came with a coupon for 30% off the Brokedown site.
Hanky Pankys; When I opened my box and saw something lacy looking I grew concerned, had PopSugar included underwear? How did they know my size? As it turns out they HAD included underwear, but it was one size fits all thong from Hanky Panky. Hanky Panky's are apparently known for being very comfy and you can avoid panty lines etc. I received the pink color. There was controversy on this item as well, since the one size fits all indicates it's meant only up to a certain size.
A coupon was also included for 15% off any order as well as a coupon for a free Zoya Purple nail polish. Combine this was the first time member sign up of $10 off $20 and you could score a decent savings. I was debating ordering two pairs, but the total would still be $25 so I'm holding off for now.
Update 3/22/13; I used the coupon codes plus a new member coupon to get three pairs of low rise Hanky Pankys and a Zoya nail polish. The pair in the Pop Sugar box must have been the original rise because the low rise fit me so much better!
Must Have Food
Mariebelle New York's Tresor Box; This is the pink box with the blue ribbon in the above picture. This was a cute little box of chocolates. I received the dark chocolate balls, haven't tried these yet. Update 3/22/13; these were quite yummy, I don't usually like dark chocolate but it seems this is the perfect size for me to enjoy it
Must Have Beauty
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain; I received the color "honey" which appears to be pretty similar to the color of my lips. I don't really wear lipstick so this will work nicely to moisturize and give me just the slightest amount of color.
Must Have Entertainment
Safe Haven Book and Song Download; This was the book by Nicholas Sparks which also is apparently a movie. I love to read but don't have time to read for pleasure right now. I'm looking forward to bringing this on our next trip as a good beach read.
Must Have Home
Connoisseurs Quick Jewelry Cleaner; This is a jewelry cleaner which is a gel and toothbrush which is apparently easy to use. I don't own a jewelry cleaner so it'll be nice to have one.
Special Extras
Conversation Hearts; My husband already ate these, enough said!
I've seen some blogs indicating a retail value between $138-$150, great value for the $32 I paid.
