Pop Sugar Must Have - December 2012 Review - Monthly Women's Subscription Boxes

December's Pop Sugar Must Have box was an interesting one for me - I love all the items, but the value wasn't as high as I expected.

The Box: Pop Sugar Must Have

The Cost: $35 a month

COUPON CODE: Use code REFERFRIENDS to save $5 off your first box

The Products: Must have products in home, food, beauty, fitness, etc.

Bodum Bistro Double Walled Glass Mugs - Value $30

I love these mugs. My favorite part? They are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe!

Tea Forte Sampler - Value $15

Typically when I get tea in a subscription box, it's a few loose bags, so I love that this was a boxed set. I may end up using this as a gift - the packaging is so nice, and the teas smell great!

Bogdon's Peppermint Poles - Value $3

Yum! These are already out on my coffee table!

Jaboneria Marianella Soap - Value $14

This soap smells divine, and at the price point is probably something I wouldn't buy myself, but I'm thrilled it was in the box.

Pinch Provisions Minimergency Kit - Value $15

This little kit is impressive! I couldn't believe everything they fit in the case. I immediately put it in my purse.

GoSwype - Value $1.99

Love this product! It completely cleaned my phone of any streaks, and knowing it also removed germs and bacteria made me feel better about having it so close to my face when on a call!

Rent the Runway Coupon Code - $30

I think Rent the Runway is a really cool site, and after checking out their amazing dresses, I totally plan on using the service someday. My issue with this coupon though, is that Pop Sugar states it is a $30 Gift Card, but it is actually just a $30 off coupon code that can only be used on rentals. (Rental accessories start at $10, but shipping and insurance aren't covered by the coupon). Because this is a coupon and not a true Gift Card, to me the $30 value shouldn't go toward the box total value.

Verdict: I will definitely use everything in the December Pop Sugar Must Have box, so I'm very pleased with the items! The value of the box without the coupon code is only $79 though, so previous boxes have definitely had more items and higher value. No complaints here though - now I just want my Luxury Edition box! What did you think of this month's box?

New Subscription Box Alert! Popbasic - Women's Monthly Clothing and Accessory Subscription Service

Here are the details I have from the new subscription service Popbasic:

• The price will range from $50-$100 for the three items along with free shipping for US, Canadian and Australian customers.

Julep Maven - December 2012 Review - Women's Monthly Beauty and Nail Polish Subscription Boxes

This month's Julep Maven nail polish picks were all sparkle and glitter - perfect for the holidays! I had such a difficult time deciding which box to go with, but eventually picked American Beauty.

The Box: Julep Maven

The Cost: $19.99 a month

The Products: Nail polish plus beauty and spa products.

Julep Nail Color in Julia - Value $14

Julep Nail Color in Patti - Value $14

Julep Instant Warming Foot Scrub - Value $22

And a bonus mint!

Create Your Own Cabochon Ring -

The front of this ring detaches from the ring so you can paint it with nail polish. This is definitely my level of DIY, but I'm not much of a ring wearer so I'll pass this along to a friend.


Verdict: Another great Julep Maven box! I also got Add-ons this month, so I'll post again when they arrive. What did you think of this month's box?

Glossy Box - November 2012 Review - Women's Beauty and Makeup Monthly Subscription Boxes

The past few months of Glossy Box have been amazing, so I had high hopes for this box. Fortunately Glossy Box did not disappoint - 3 full size items in this month's box!

The Box: Glossy Box

The Cost: $21 a month

The Products: Deluxe and full size beauty products (some international brands).

Arganics by NuMe Argan Oil - 10 mL Value $5

Perfumies Solid Perfume Stick in Kissing Bandit - FULL SIZE! Value $7

I was surprised by how much I love this perfume stick! The scent is great, and I really like the application. It's made of coconut oil, beeswax and fragrance.

Illamsqua Ltd Lip & Eye Medium Pencil in Hex - FULL SIZE! $20

I love getting full size makeup items! This shade is very neutral, so I'm not sure how I'll use it yet, but I am a big fan of this brand from a previous Glossy Box lipgloss!

Skin & Co Roma Truffle Serum: Hydro-Toning Day Face Serum - .5 oz Value $18

Epionce Restorative Hand Cream - FULL SIZE! Value $19

One thing I love about Glossy Box is that (so far) any time they include a serum, it's a large enough sample size to try it for a few weeks and see if it actually works.


Verdict: Another awesome month in terms of value - for $21 I received about $70 worth of product! I'm pretty sure I'll use everything in this box too. What did you think of this month's Glossy Box?

Golden Tote - November 2012 Review - Women's Monthly Clothing Subscription Boxes

I was beyond excited when my first Golden Tote box arrived in the mail!

The Box: Gold Tote

The Cost: $49 (2-3 items at up to a $250 value) or $149 (5-7 items at up to a $600 value)

The Products: Women's clothing and accessories. You pick 1-2 items and they surprise you with the rest!

FYI - I'm reviewing the $149 tote. This month's theme is cozy essentials.

This is the November Tear Sheet that came with the tote. It definitely added to the box for me - I love these touches that make me feel like I have my own personal stylist!

Blue Ombre Infinity Scarf - Value estimated $45

This scarf is super soft and really versatile. It will get a ton of use!

Maroon Striped Maxi Dress - Value estimated $80

I love maxi dresses and have been looking for more fall styles - I was thrilled to spot this in the golden tote!

Aztec Sweater Cardigan - Value $98

This was one of the items I picked out and I love it! It drapes perfectly and the gold has just the right amount of shimmer. (You can see photos of it on a model at Golden Tote).

Color Blocked Striped Sweater - Value $72

Hooded Twill Jacket - Value $92

This jacket is somewhat lightweight, so it will be great for layering in the winter, or worn as-is in the spring or fall. (This was the second item I picked).

Lace Top - Value estimated $50

This top is sort of a sweatshirt material, so it's very comfy, and the high-low cut and lace make it much more stylish than a sweatshirt!


Verdict: I am thrilled with this box. It really felt like I had my own personal stylist, and - the best part in my opinion - even on my best shopping day I could never score all these items for only $149!  FYI for sizing, I'm typically a size large at Forever 21 and went with size Large at Golden Tote and everything fit perfectly.

What do you think of Golden Tote? Will you sign up?
