Popsugar Must Have September 2013 Box Review

Hello!!!!

Finally, freakin' finally, I have my September popsugar must have box and I have to say that (100% honestly) it might be one of my favorite boxes EVER. Of course, you, the reader, can disagree but when I get a box full of stuff that I'd actually buy for myself, then it's a good month for this box!

Exciting!

This is legit my favorite box in a long time. 

Omg so perfect.

A closer look at the pretty.

A better look at the diffuser and what's inside. 

On to the review:

BARR-CO. Original Scent Reed Diffuser

Fucking perfect. That's all I can say. I've been looking for a nice reed diffuser but hadn't found a scent that I liked and wasn't sure I'd like this one but luck must be on my side this month because I'm in love with this diffuser. I'm so glad to have gotten this because I actually NEED it thanks to my stinky dogs that refuse to sleep anywhere besides my room! Plus, it retails at $45 at anthro so fuck yeah this is a good month! 11/10

P.S.-You're Invited by Erica Domesek

Anyone who has had the pleasure to read (lol) my whimseybox reviews knows that I'm a craft addict. Also, I'm a book addict. Seriously. What is this? A craft book. A freakin' crafts book! No old lady crafts or crafts for kids or whatever but cool crafts for the home that I actually want to do. I had this book on my amazon wish list but thankfully didn't buy it twice thanks to a spoiler from my peeps at makeuptalk. I'm so excited for this book that it's borderline dorktastic (I'm across the border eating tacos, basically) but yes, it's as awesome as I thought it would be. 11/10

Rifle Paper Co. Coaster Set

Coasters! Florals! I'm the only person in my family that sees the use of coasters. Why? Well, I'm also the most organized and least not giving a shit out of my family so yeah. These floral coasters are quite cute and even though they're made from paper, they're quite sturdy. I've already tested one and it's all good. Again, I've been looking for a cute coaster set so I'm pretty damn happy to have gotten this in my popsugar must have because it's clearly awesome box. 11/10

Kitsch Headbands

Headbands! I'm a huge headband wearer and I just love hair accessories to the point that I have boxes full of them. I have a huge head and that is a major issue with headbands. They're usually too tight and give me badass migraines. Therefore, I was a bit skeptical about these (they do look a lot like twistbands but they're all the same thing so whatevs) but I tried them and they actually stretch enough to not choke my brain! That and the color scheme (thank god I got neutrals and fall colors!!!) makes me a happy headband wearing girl. I'm actually wearing one right now, oh yes. 11/10

Shoptiques $25 Discount Card

There's a $25 "gift card" for shoptiques but I'm guessing from my cursory look at the website that $25 won't go that far. However, when I'm in the mood to shop, a $25 discount is nothing to sneeze at. So, I'll be saving this little card until I decide to buy something wildly unnecessary so I can console myself with the fact that I totes saved money. 9/10

Snacks: That's IT. Bar and Sharkies

Ok, so there had to be something I didn't love. It's just logic, right? Well, here it is. Sharkies are organic energy boosting electrolyte chews and taste gnarly as fuuuuck. The that's it (I'm never eating this again!) bar, featured only two ingredients: 1 apple and 1 mango and was gummy as hell. I feel incredibly sorry for anyone with braces who has tried these bars because the horror. The sheer horror! The extra snacks of total ewww will be considered an aberration in an otherwise awesome box but ugh, seriously bleeeech. 5/10

One more look at the pretty. 

Overall, I'm elated. This box was made for me. No kidding. I know I sound like I'm freakin' repping for popsugar but nope, this is an unbiased review of something I paid cash money for. I just really liked this month's box to the point that I'm almost sure that next month's box will be a letdown in comparison (for me) because it's unlikely that they'll include another book or something halloween themed (c'mon do it!!!!) but honest to goodness sincerely I loved this month's box and I love when I get something I actually like because it doesn't feel like a waste of money and that's a good feeling ;)
