| Smell Bent St. Tropez Dispenser |
Smell Bent St. Tropez Dispenser – This Eau de Parfum is best described as beach in a bottle. This bright, summery fragrance boasts notes of jasmine and coconut, but it really reminds me of Monoi de Tahiti line from Yves Rocher. I used to have a dry body oil that smelled just like that! Since it’s an EDP and not EDT, the formula is very concentrated: I spritzed once in the air above my head and walked into the cloud to have the fragrance evenly distributed all over my body, hair and clothes. By the way, their site lists this spray as EDT but the box clearly says “Eau de Parfum” on it.

| Zing Anything Citrus Zinger |
Zing Anything Citrus Zinger – How did POPSUGAR know that I was about to purchase a new water bottle? This one is even better than what I was planning to buy, it has a separate citrus squeezer so you always have freshly infused water. The brochure inside mentions a few other things that can be used instead of citrus fruits: honey, mint, strawberries, pineapple, watermelon to name a few. The bottle is made with sturdy plastic and so far withstood several washes in the dishwasher on the top rack without any issues, scratches or melting.

| Kerry Cassill Eye Mask |
Kerry Cassill Eye Mask – These masks were designed exclusively for POPSUGAR so I couldn’t find the exact same ones on the site, but the other ones they had look like they’re the same quality. The outer side of the mask is made with soft voile cotton, and the inside material looks like it could be silk. The sleep mask is quite comfortable and doesn’t slide off, and I actually wake up with it still on, which is quite an achievement, considering how much I roll around in my sleep 🙂
 |
| Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquer |
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquer – As far as I know, there were no color variations and everyone received Pool Boy, which is a bright aqua creme. As you can see, I didn’t even open it yet, but I do plan to play around with it when I have time. This looks like a fun pedi color!
 |
| Tone It Up DVD |
Tone It Up Workout DVD – I love the idea, and know I should do it, and be more active, yadda-yadda, but I’m going to be realistic and say that this DVD will probably never get played. There, I admitted it. These girls look amazing though, I just wish I had enough motivation to stay active. For me starting something has always been easy, but I have trouble sticking with it for the long run, because the novelty and the excitement wear off.

| Hi I’m Skinny Sticks Multi-Grain Sweet Onion |
Hi I’m Skinny Sticks Multi-Grain Sweet Onion – Yum! These healthy straws are crunchy and full of bold flavor. They taste exactly like Funyuns, except instead of being made of recycled cardboard and the complete periodic table of elements, I’m Skinny sticks contain only natural and organic ingredients.
THE VERDICT
The bottle pretty much made the whole box worth it for me, but I also really enjoyed the onion snacks, and the eye mask. St. Tropez fragrance will be a great addition to my Summer olfactory wardrobe, and I look forward to playing around with OCC polish. The only item that I wish I used but I just know that I won’t is the workout DVD, so maybe a friend or a family member will take it off my hands.

The boxes seem close to repeating themselves. When I was getting them there were very similar items inside. I like the box but I’d like to see more unusual products like the water bottle and the sleep mask.
I like the workout video and the nail polish 🙂
I want that bottle right this minute!
