Popsugar Must Have box is a monthly subscription box that sends you "must have" items in categories like food, beauty, fashion, etc. The box is $39.95/month, but it's discounted if you buy a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription. I got my first box back in October and it was ok. I got
the wet brush, which when my hair was long was a lifesaver after showering.
Anyway, even though it was a deal price-wise, it just wasn't something that tickled my fancy. However, there was a 50% off coupon for the February box, and that was pretty hard to pass up. So, I broke down and got the box. Again, it was a deal price-wise, but it was just OK.

One of these things is not like the other... |
So this is everything packed nicely into the box. I just love getting stuff in the mail, especially when it's loaded with goodies. So let's move forward and see what everything is.

NCLA Rodeo Drive Royalty Nail Polish |
The color is a little darker than pictured. I love a good red polish and this brand wears really well. I'm not really much of a nail polish girl, but I do like getting it in subscription boxes so I never have to buy it on my own.

Nourish Organic Argan Face Serum |
I've been wanting a serum to use before moisturizing, but I just couldn't decide what kind to try. So this was definitely an A item for me. It's supposed to even complexion and brighten, as well as help your facial moisturizer be more effective. I think it's definitely helped to brighten my skin. I don't know about making lotion more effective because I've had to use lots of lotions and potions on my parched winter skin.

Gorjana Brooks Jewelry Roll |
This is a poppy red color and the string you see on the left ties it up. The only jewelry I wear on an everyday basis is my wedding ring, so I don't know how useful this will be as a jewelry roll. But I can definitely use it for something. It's a good quality and if I ever become a jewelry wearer (I'm trying. I love the look of accessorizing, but can't stand feeling it on my skin) I'll use it for its intended purpose.

Modelco Lip Pops Duo Lip Gloss and Lipstick |
A nude I actually like! When looking at spoilers, I thought for sure that this was going to be too light for me and make me look corpse-y. I have fairly pigmented lips to begin with, so it can be hard for me to find a nude that works. This is moisturizing and smells yummy! I also like the lipstick/gloss in one combo. Makes traveling easy and the casing is durable, so it won't fall apart in a bag.

K Hall Designs Peony Travel Candle |
This is a tiny little candle, but supposedly has a burn time of 20 hours. I'm itching for spring right now, so this is a perfectly scented candle. It's a very pretty floral that makes me ache for sunshine and warmth. The tin is classic-looking. It's currently burning in the bathroom, which is TINY, so I'm not sure about the throw.

Sugarwish Cinnamon Hearts |
Sorry for such an AWFUL picture. I tried to get the card, which reads "Always expect something sweet is about to happen" but it didn't work so well. By the time I realized how crappy the picture was, I had already eaten the candy. These were delicious and a sweet little treat perfect for Valentine's Day. They included a discount code so you can send someone (or yourself - which is probably what I'll do because I'm a candy fiend!) a sweet little sugarwish to brighten their day.

Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash |
This was a "special extra" that Popsugar included in the box this month. I read a lot of blogs and comments where people were upset by getting Dial in what's considered a "higher-end" box. However, I like it. Yeah, sure, some sort of fancy, essence-infused, boutique body wash would have been nice. But this smells fresh and fruity, which is my main concern with this depressing winter weather. It's also lotion infused and, obviously, supposed to help bring moisture to the skin. Who couldn't use a body wash like this? And it didn't take the place of any items, it was just a nice little extra we got.
So, all-in-all, I think I liked this box better than the one I received in October. Also, it was half-off, which makes it even sweeter. I probably won't be ordering this box again unless I can find another good coupon code. I've seen some AWESOME boxes, but just never the ones I order. MAYBE I'll get the box for March, because it should include some spring-related items. Popsugar Must Have boxes do have a good variety of items and you can usually find something new that really works for you. But it can also be kind of expensive for something that might be a dud.
