Make Up as I go along: Popsugar Must Have Box July 2013

This is my first Popsugar Must have box. It is a subscription I have been following for a long time, drooling over the contents and reviews on the MakeUp Talk forum (www.makeuptalk.com). It is a lifestyle box with a mix of beauty, fashion, food and other lifestyle items such as books and work out gear. I was under the apparently false impression that this would be some sort of special anniversary box. Moments after my unboxing, I received an email about next months special anniversary gift... I do need to learn to adjust my expectations with 'special boxes' a bit, lol! At $35/mo, this is a bit too pricey for me (although well worth it for anyone with the right budget). I will likely stick around for the special anniversary necklace in August and move on.

I received the following:

Baublebar Rose Double Curb Chain necklace - Very, very heavy. Clunky and a bit masculine. It doesn't seem to lay quite right either. The quality seems decent though, and I have seen some people absolutely rocking it online. I am trying to find the 'right' outfit for it and keeping an open mind.

Supergoop SPF30 Anti-Aging City Sunscreen Serum - My first beauty serum! So far it does not seem to be irritating my skin, although I am building up slowly to play it safe. It seems a touch greasy but it feels nice. I am a little baffled as to how it should be reapplied as often as directed. Over makeup? Under? Without? Combined? No clue. I am enjoying it though, and this is a perfect time of year for a sunscreen.

Mighty Leaf Iced Tea in Ginger Peach - I am way over excited for this. It smells amazing! I don't have a glass pitcher large enough to make it (lol!), so I may have to end up wasting a bit in a smaller container and steeping it for a bit less time. This is also perfect for summer and a great choice to include in the box.

Tovolo King Cube Ice Tray - And speaking of summer perfect, yowza. These ice cubes are monstrous and highly amusing. The size is perfect for a million pinteresty things. I am just gonna make ice in it though.

NCLA As If! Polish - Such a pretty color! I have it on my toes now and it is holding up beautifully. Opaque in one coat as well. As soon as my current color chips it is going right on my fingernails as well.

Hannahmax Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip all natural Crunchy Cookie Chips - Jeez, is the name long enough? Anyway my package was defective. Shortly after opening they all vanished. I am going to have to find more to research this phenomenon...

My Cat Nikita was also quite pleased with the box...
