Another month, another POPSUGAR MustHave box! My box arrived really early, which has never happened before, probably because it actually got shipped from NY this time instead of CA. The value of this month’s box is just amazing, and probably the highest since I became a subscriber.

Gorjana&Griffin Zuma Scarf
This scarf is just plain amazing! It’s large, yet lightweight, and can be used as a beach cover-up, too. It’s made of 100% polyester, however it feels anything but cheap. I like the neon accents along the hem of this classical nautical stripe pattern, that design is so versatile that it can be used with a lot of different outfits. The scarf also came with a $25 gift card to Gorjana&Griffin online store, and I picked up this bracelet. The shipping prices are a ripoff, but after the gift card the total came down to $13.53, which is a great price for such a cute 18K gold plated piece.
P.S.: I will update the bracelet picture above with my own once my bracelet arrives.

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer
I tried a sample of this moisturizer before and it just didn’t work out for me, my skin must be sensitive to one or more ingredients because it broke me out. So I will be re-gifting this one, especially since it has so many positive reviews. I’m sure it will make a great present for whoever I end up giving it to. The moisturizer also came with two samples of Juice Beauty CC cream in two different shades. I was very curious to try it out when they first started appearing in people’s Birchboxes, so I’m glad that I finally got this opportunity.

Hard Candy Fitness DVD Addicted to Sweat 4
I must admit, I’m a little intimidated by this DVD, but getting in shape was one of my silly New Year’s resolutions after all, so I’m going to give it a shot. This series of workouts was created by Madonna’s personal trainer, and she apparently gives all the credit to it for her amazing body.

Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger
I was not a fan of the first book, and probably not going to bother reading the second one. Personally, I think Lauren came up with a nice plot, but her writing skills are pretty poor. However, there are plenty of people in my life who would be delighted to read this, so I’m keeping it as a present.

Popcorn Indiana Sea Salt Fit Popcorn
The popcorn was just alright, however at 37 calories per cup it’s a pretty guiltless snack. I actually really like this brand, my husband and I often buy their Movie popcorn and it tastes like it’s actually sprinkled with real butter!

Purchase: No
Project 7 Quench the Thirsty Wintergreen Mints
These are mints with a cause, with each mints tray sold Project 7 will supply one person with clean water for a year! The taste is pretty good, it’s not over the top minty, but it freshens the breath and slightly numbs the tongue.
Overall: 4/5
Purchase: Yes
The verdict: After looking at my own review above, it seems like this box was mostly a failure for me. But one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, considering that these are all great products and brands, they just happened to not suit my personal taste. I will wear that scarf a lot in the upcoming months, and I can’t wait to get my new bracelet. These two items made the entire box worth it for me 🙂 July is their anniversary box, so I wonder what awesome goodies they will have in store for us!
