Plus, I'm back onboard for September's box ! Apparently September is already sold out so anyone who signs up from now on will get the October box as the first in their sub which is kind of nuts! However, Popsugar Must Have box is probably one of, if not THE, best monthly box out there. Seriously. The stuff you get in that box is what makes it worth it because it has full sizes and a variety of cute stuff. So, yes I am still a sad panda about missing out but here's to next month, it'll hopefully be even better!

Let's get to the good stuff!
Gorjana Open Circle Necklace
This item is definitely one that I would've loved. As soon as we got the announcement that this necklace would be included in the August box as a sort of anniversary present, I got super excited. I even went as far as to write a post dedicated to its awesomeness. It's a delicate gold necklace which would've been ewww for me 5 years ago but now I love it. I do feel pretty sad that I didn't get it but those who did are lucky bitches and I hate you all! (not really, I love you all!!! free cupcakes and puppies for everyone! also kitties!)

Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse and Special Cleansing Gel
I will refrain from any puns or dirty jokes referring to the pre-cleanse but you all know I'm thinking them. Yes, I'm the worst! Apparently these are part of a two step process to cleanse the skin and make it look all perfectly perfect. The good thing is that I've got a wealth of cleansers right now so this item(s) doesn't sting as much as the necklace.

Lulah Body Wash
Touted as part of the 'must have beauty' category, this body wash apparently smells great (as it should!) and creates a luxurious lather. The body wash was sent out in a variety of scents and the packaging is quite cute. I do kind of wish I had a new body was as my go-to is about to run out. Maybe I'll just buy one of these ;)

May Designs Weekly Agenda Notebook
I have a major weakness (week-ness? ;D) for weekly planners and pretty colors so this is right up my alley. Pretty colors and organizational tools? Hells YES. Ok, I'm definitely sad about not getting this one but I've also bought like 3 planners this week (fucking back to school sections get me every. time.) and I'm still using my pretty prettyyyy Kate Spade 2013 planner so I'm ok.... for now.

Lunares Apple Bowl
Yes, this is a very cute red apple bowl buuut I don't have my own kitchen and I don't really cook so this little beauty would've been completely wasted on the likes of me. I feel like it would be an incredibly cute addition to any kitchen and could be used for snacks but I probably wouldn't even want to get it dirty. So cute, though. So cute!

Bentgo Box
Ahhhh, a play on the word bento and a striking similarity to a bento box! This little doozy is meant to keep your lunch in yummy condition instead of cold, jelly, ugh condition. This is a great addition to the arsenal of anyone going to school or to the office. It sucks that I didn't get it but then again, I tend to eat out due to the aforementioned complete lack of cooking skills.
Hypothetical 8/10
Special Extra: Nature Box Granny Smith Apples
Nature Box are actually another subscription sub (I just found this out right now seeing as I'm a big 'ol lazy butt) and they teamed up with Popsugar for the August box to add an extra treat and to get their names out there a bit more (good idea since I didn't know them until now). They sent out some yummy dried apple rings which I'm assuming are as good as they sound. I would've gobbled these up as soon as I opened the box!
Hypothetical 10/10
Overall, the August box is a completely respectable effort by popsugar. The variety and quality of the items is in line with what we've come to expect from them. Unlike other subs, the boxes tend to have a lot of varied items and they don't usually resort to sending out feet wipes when they can't find anything else. I'm a bit sad that I didn't get this particular box but at least it isn't the very best they've sent out (when a popsugar box is good, it is GOOD) so I'm hoping that September's box will kick August's butt (yes, I'm selfish!). But really, I like to see that at the year mark (this was the 1yr anniversary box) Popsugar is still trying to send out interesting and surprising items. Hopefully, the next year will be full of cool stuff from popsugar and I'll be sure to tell you guys about it.

Recommend?
Yes! These last couple of months have been solidly good and even though I'm sad to have missed August, I love and look forward to getting a box full of surprises from them every month. If you're really interested, give it a month or two and go from there. We're coming up on autumn and the holiday season and you all know that's when the good stuff comes out ;P
