My First POPSUGAR Must Have Box (featuring Brokedown Ikat Scarf)

Press Sample

As a member of POPSUGAR Select, I was able to receive the March POPSUGAR Must Have box for review! I apologize that it took me so long to get this post up, as this box is no longer available. However, it will give you a good idea of how the POPSUGAR Select Box works.

I myself was confused by POPSUGAR Select. We are all so used to makeup boxes that I didn’t understand that this was a lifestyle box, not a makeup box! Each month you receive an item from the following categories: Must Have Fashion, Must Have Beauty, Must Have Fashion, Must Have Home, Must Have Fitness and Must Have Food.

For my March Box I received:

Brokedown Blue Ikat Scarf (Must Have Fashion)
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum (Must Have Beauty)
Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe Make a Wish Necklace (Must Have Fashion)
BaubleBar Elephant Ring Tree (Must Have Home)
ActiveForever Fusion Exercise Ball (Must Have Fitness)
Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps (Must Have Food)
Nature's Bakery All Natural Stone Ground Whole Wheat Strawberry Fig Bars (Special Extra)

My thoughts on each:

Brokedown Blue Ikat Scarf – This was the big ticket item of the box. Initially I wasn’t that excited about it, as I don’t wear scarves! I thought about giving it away, until I played with it and fell in love with how soft it is. If any of you are petite and well endowed, I would love to hear how you like to wear scarves!

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum – I have heard good things about Jurlique but my skin is out of control right now and I don’t know what it was that broke me out, so I will not be introducing any new skincare into my routine at this time.

Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe Make a Wish Necklace – I didn’t know what to think about this necklace, but I put it on for my birthday, made my wish, and I haven’t wanted to take it off since! Which is weird, because I have trouble wearing most necklaces. Either they get tangled in my hair or I feel like it’s choking me. I have none of those problems with this necklace! When it breaks, my wish is supposed to come true! And as much as I would like that to happen, I want to keep wearing this necklace!

BaubleBar Elephant Ring Tree – I think this is adorable. Since I work retail and have a very physical job, I do not wear jewelry to work. Hopefully I can put this to good use some day, but for now he will sit on my Expedit and keep me company.

ActiveForever Fusion Exercise Ball – The ball arrived deflated. It was supposed to come with a straw to blow it up but I couldn’t find it! I managed to inflate it the old fashion way. Not really sure if I will use it as it’s intended (you can follow the idea’s in the post on POPSUGAR’s blog) but it makes a great dodgeball!

Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps – I ignored these until today. They sat, unwanted and unloved, in the corner of my room. I finally opened them today AND ATE THE WHOLE BAG. I will definitely be buying more this weekend!

Nature's Bakery All Natural Stone Ground Whole Wheat Strawberry Fig Bars – I am glad this was considered an extra because I don’t like figs. I tried it, just to make sure. And I STILL don’t like figs!

I also received discount codes for Jurlique (15%), Baublebar (20%) and Dogeared (20%).

Overall, I am very happy with this box and would not have minded paying $39.99 for it! My favorite items (if you can’t tell) are the scarf, the Make a Wish Necklace and the Harvest Snaps.

What do you think of the idea of a lifestyle box? Have you ever purchased one from POPSUGAR?
