Popsugar Must Have August 2013

I received my August Popsugar box and I am far more impressed than I was with the July edition.  At $35 plus tax it is still a bit on the high side for my budget, but this months box is a great value for the money.

The Gorgana Circle Necklace is my favorite item, and it a special anniversary 'extra'.  I actually wear this almost daily.  It is dainty but mature and lays high enough not to interfere with a lot of necklines.

I have also been using the Bentgo box for my work lunches.  It is a convient size, and you can use just the top or bottom part if you didn't bring enough food to fill the entire thing.  Plastic flatware is included.

I received the Lulah in Vanilla Orchid, which smells amazing.  It is full sized and huge.

The May Designs Weekly Agenda is very pretty to look at.  The inside fonts are really nice.  This is a small (narrow) planner but it is handy.

Dermalogica Precleanse and Special Cleansing Gel were deluxe sized instead of full, but the actual products are pricey and it is nice to try them out without losing an arm and a leg.  I found the precleanse amazing at removing my makeup and making my face seem extra clean.  The cleansing gel did not irritate my skin either, however I broke out a bit and have gone back to using the precleanse in combination with either Simple Moisturizing cleanser or Nutrogena Acne Stress Control wash, depending on how big of a jerk my face is being.

The Lunares Apple Bowl is not something I would have brought myself but it is lovely.  I have been dropping the necklace into it at night and I can safely say it is a good jewelry loss prevention device.

The Nature Box Apple Rings tasted like dried fruit.  A nice, low calorie snack for people who hate chocolate.   And by extension, themselves.

Overall this was a spectacular box, however the necklace did carry most of the weight of the awesome.  Being that it was considered an extra, I don't know that September will be quite as impressive.  I know I should cancel for my budgets sake, but I have a feeling I will be hanging on for another month.  Last Septembers box is what originally drew my interest in the subscription.
