I've been a huge fan of Popsugar.com for years so when I read that they were starting their own beauty/life subscription service; the Must Have Bag; I was very intrigued to try it out. What the site claimed: "Every month, the POPSUGAR editorial staff curate an exciting bag full of fun products from fashion, beauty, home decor, fitness, and more. Each bag will include a variety of full-size products worth over $100." The specifics are: "Hand-selected by Popsugar editors, full-size products & premium items, one-of-a-kind bag every month, only $35 a month, with free shipping." Ready for the review?



What came in the bag:
RGB Nailpolish is Minty and Doll - $16 each
Body Drench Pomegranate Crush lotion- $7 and Raspberry Gelato Body Scrub - $6
Kind Bars two at $2 each
Retail = $97 + bag (estimate $10) = $107

Thoughts on each product?
Ilia Lipsticks- I never heard of Ilia before but am very excited to try it. The colors are rich and go on very smooth.
RGB Polish- I have always wanted to try these polishes. The Doll is described as a calamine pink and considering that I used to dye my Barbies hair with the Calamine lotion I'm very excited to try it out.
Body Drench- I'm not a fruity scent wearing person so these two items will be going to my niece who loves smelling things.
Kind Bars - I feel like these were bag fillers. I mean seriously they could have put some jewelry or a candle or something in instead. But nope, I got two granola bars. I'm sure they'll taste great but not $35 worth.
Overall thoughts:
I have to be fully honest with you. I was extremely disappointed with this Must Have bag. When I signed up the site said everywhere that you would receive over $150 in products, then they lowered it to $100 those sneaky thieves! Everything was full size like they promised and each item came individually wrapped which made it feel a little like Christmas morning. Yes, the bag is super cute and the products are nice, but they aren't "Must Have" items for me, especially not for $35! There are so many other subscription services out there that you get custom curated trial items for for less money! I do need to remember though that these are full size products. The other thing I was a little disappointed about was that nothing in the bag made it a lifestyle bag but more a beauty bag. I was expecting so much more in this bag than what I got. Knowing what to expect now I will be keeping my subscription for another month and hopefully August's bag will be better. Expect a review on it as well.
If you are interested in trying the Must Have bag for yourself I would get your bag soon as July's bag did sell out. You can sign up HERE.

I've been trying to decide whether or not to subscribe to one of these monthly boxes/bags, so this is all good to know. Maybe I'll ask for a subscription to something for my upcoming birthday...

I have been using Ilia for a while now, and they are great organic lipsticks, but I agree with you, it is not a MUST HAVE bag, disappointing!

i agree...i'm not sure how much included was a "must have"...i would rather pay $35, go to a site & pick out the products that i would like & then review them...
ReplyDeleteeek...not worth $35! i totally agree with webhautejas...for that price...i would rather go buy what i want and do a review. =( i'm a little sad because i was hoping for a great review! but thank you for being our guinea pig....ha ha!
