PopSugar Must Have October 2013 Review

This week I got my PopSugar Must Have Box after an agonizing wait. This was my first box so I have nothing to compare to but either way I loved it.
Even though many people didn't seem to like the box since it seems cheap I was won over and will without a doubt extend my subscription without a second thought.


Julep Char Nail Polish (It Girl)($14.00)/Freedom Polymer Top Coat($18.00): This box came with both a Julep polish and a top coat. I haven't used either yet but I really like Julep's polish so I will definitely use it on my next day off, From the bottle it looks like a bluish purple color. I don't really know if it's "me" but I'll find out.

On top of that I also got a coupon code for a free first Julep box free but I've already gotten one so I'll share it with you! Just go here and enter JULEPMUSTHAVE after filling out your style profile.
Jane Tran Bobby Pins($12.00): As I said in my "This Weeks Favorites" I really loved these bobby pins. In fact besides the cook book I was looking forward to these the most. I've been looking for bobby pins for a long time to keep my hair from getting too crazy at work and I lucked out with this months box.

The Wet Brush($14.00): I really enjoyed the wet brush because I have troublesome hair and like to brush it when I've just showered. The best part is that it's very gentle on my head without being useless.

Stich Fix $20 Credit: I was ecstatic to get the Stitch Fix gift card because I've been wanting to try it for a long while but didn't want to pay the $20 in case I didn't like it. But now here's my chance and it's set to ship in November.


Gorjana Charity Bali Bead Bracelet($45.00): The bracelet was crazy cute, though a bit pricey for what it is. I know I didn't have to pay for it straight but still. Anyway, it fit well. Not too big, not too small but for some reason the ends sort of unraveled the first day I used it. I emailed PopSugar about this but haven't heard back yet so I'll just have to see.

NYX Liquid Eye Liner($6.00): I just love eye liner even though I don't get to use it much. I'm also really happy I got the black instead of the brown. The only issue is I always mess up trying to use liquid liner! Oh well, I guess it's a good chance to learn.

NYX Smokey Shadow Palette ($7.00): I don't use eyeshadow. I don't know how to use eyeshadow. But then again I've always wanted to learn. So here's the perfect opportunity beside I like the group of colors.

The Crispery Halloween CrispyCake($3.95): I wound up sharing the crispy cake with my boyfriend and it was amazingly delish! It was way better than any rice crispy treat I've tasted in stores and I would love to get it again or even gift it to family and friends.

The Can't Cook Book by Jessica Seinfeld ($17.11) : This was what I was most looking forward to once I saw the spoilers. I love cooking and I'm great at it but I love having new cook books to spice things up a little. I flipped through it a little and the recipes look great! I can't wait to try them.

In total my first PopSugar Box came out to be worth $157.06 which is well over the $35 dollar price tag. I am actually a little surprised it was worth so much and I have to say it was very worth it since I know I will use (or try to) everything in the box.

Remember if you want to try the PopSugar Box before the prices hike up do it before November! Just click here and use the REFER5 code to get $5 off!

This Weeks Favorites

Book: The Nest: Newlywed Handbook
Even though I'm not married and I won't be for awhile I decided to pick up the Newlywed Handbook. I thought it was cute and a good edition for anyone really in a serious relationship. Plus it appeals to people of all kinds. It's not just a straight one way street where you have to do it one way or there's no hope. I don't read many books like this so I'm not sure if it's common but based on similar articles I've read it isn't so nice touch.
Movie/Show: Gossip Girl Season 6
This week the sixth and final season of Gossip Girl finally came out on Netflix. I have been waiting a long time for this season to come up so I was ecstatic to get the email that it was finally up. Compared to the last couple of Gossip Girl seasons this one is really shining through and I may like all of the characters more than I ever did before.
Food: China Buffet
This week my boyfriend took me out to eat. We ate at this buffet and I think this is going to become our little weekly tradition! Which is great since my boyfriend actually hates eating out. 
Beauty: Jane Tran Bobby Pins
Even though my PopSugar box came yesterday I used the bobby pins immediately to take to work, since at work my hair gets a disheveled and makes me look like a crazy person. What I loved about this bobby pins is they didn't move or displace themselves which is always a huge problem I have with these things. 

Misc: Pokemon X

With as much as I've talked about it the past 3 weeks were you really expecting something different? Anyway my lovely boyfriend stopped by Gamestop this morning, before work, to pick up these two gems then dropped mine off at my house. I've already started playing and from the first minute I was in love. Once I get far enough into the game I'll drop you guys a review!
