Popsugar June 2014 Unboxing

Oh I love Popsugar! I always get super excited when I come home from work and one is waiting for me. The Popsugar Must Have Box is $39.95 per month. If you do a year's subscription, you can get it down to $35.79 per month. You can get $5 off a box by using the coupon code REFER5 -- click here if you'd like to subscribe to Popsugar.

So here's what the June box looked like when it arrived - it was a little squished, but as it turns out, no harm done on the inside.

And here's a first look inside.

The first thing that you absolutely can't miss is a nice big hardcover book. It's The One & Only by Emily Giffin and it's billed as a great summer read. I saw this prominently displayed at Barnes & Noble and I've heard it's a page turner, so I'm pretty happy about this -- especially because I probably wouldn't have discovered it on my own. The only reason I noticed it in Barnes & Noble is because it was in my Popsugar box. Amazon has this book right now for $16.52.

 

Next up are You Smell Fragrant Luxury Wet Wipes -- lemon scented. I'm kind of wondering how wet wipes can be luxury. I don't know about these because I don't generally use wet wipes, but who knows, maybe a couple in my purse will come in handy. These have a value of $5.

Popsugar seems to be into Turkish towels. Some people have been really raving about them, but for me, the jury is still out.  This is the second one I've received from Popsugar, but I haven't tried out either yet. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but terry cloth just works so well -- but I guess you wouldn't use a terry cloth towel as a wrap at night. This is the Turkish-T towel in blue and white stripes. These go for $32.

There's a nice big bottle of Sachajuan Shiny Citrus Body Lotion. This smells really good -- what's not to love about body lotion. This retails for $24.

 

Okay now this is my favorite thing in the box -- a set of 3 Lollies hair ties. My hair is very long and thick and hair ties always slide. So annoying. These are made of braided bathing suit material and that seems to make a difference. They don't slide down my hair, and if you wear one on your wrist, it looks like you're wearing a bracelet. LOVE THEM! This set of 3 runs for $8.

And the last thing in my box is this month's food item. These were gone within 15 minutes of opening the box. One Potato Two Potato Kettle Potato Chips in Hawaiian BBQ. They were salty with a hint of sweet and that's pretty addictive. This 2 oz bag is $0.99.

Total value of the box is $86.51. It's certainly not the best value I've gotten from Popsugar, but it's still good. I'm totally thrilled about the hair ties and I'm happy about the book. I'm keeping an open mind about the wet wipes and the Turkish towel. The body lotion smells great although I do have to admit that I have a ton of body lotion and don't really need anymore -- I may see if I can trade that.
