Victoria Secret Coconut Milk Hydrating Body Lotion $18

I thought it was weird that Popsugar used Victoria Secrets tissue paper this month for the box. It makes sense that they are promoting some of their products in this months box. I was actually just flipping through their brand new catalog and I saw this new lotion and I was thinking that I would definitely check it out next time I found my self at Victoria Secret. So I’m glad I got it in this box! I has a lightweight formula and smells like a tropical vacation. I love anything coconut so this was an absolute win for me.  You can find yours on eBay.

Victoria Secret Sport Socks $5

I find it odd that this particular sock is nowhere to be found on their site. It seems like it would be a staple. I’m always happy to get more socks especially from a trusted brand like VS. You can get yours on eBay.

Victoria Secret Reward Card $20

I love how they included a reward card for $20. It works like a gift card and applies to anything. I’m so excited to use it on a new bathing suit for an upcoming vacation! You can find it on eBay.

Foodstirs Heart Sugar Cookie Mix $12

The link provided is a little different then what I was given but it was the closet to what they had on their site. I love how cute this little set is. I usually prefer to bake cookies from scratch but I will try it out. They also included a 50% off any of their baking subscription kits. They all look so good I don’t know which one I’m going to go with. You can find this for less on eBay.

The Fringe Hello Beautiful Glass Tray $14

I feel like we already got this tray not too long ago. Am I right? I wouldn’t mind receiving trays like this if they mixed up the design of them a little bit more but I feel like we just keep receiving the same exact catch all tray over and over. You can find this for less on eBay.

Beauty Counter Cleansing Balm $50

I didn’t receive the wash cloth that goes along with this item. I believe its an essential part of this cleansing balm. I have emailed Popsugar asking for a replacement and I’m sure they will send it to me ASAP.

This balm has a super fruity smell and it goes on really light weight. You can find yours for less on eBay.

Tilo Heart Scarf $125

Tilo makes such gorgeous colorful scarf. I’m so bored with getting another gray scarf. I would love to have gotten any other scarf from their new collection.

Jewelry Storm Endless Arrow Ring $28

Et Al Designs Dot Candles $24

I never had candles sticks before, but I think these are super cute but I’m not sure if I have much need for them. I like that pop sugar included a different kind of candle but I would have preferred a regular candle. You can find them on eBay.

image9

Nima Oberoi Lunares Orb Candlestick Holders $69

I like that they included the candlestick holders to go with the candle sticks because I didn’t have either of these things before I got this box. Im not really sure what I’m going to do with them thought because my boyfriend and I aren’t really candlestick people – at this time in our young lives. But you can find these holders on eBay.

I have lusting over headbands like these for a few years. I don’t know why I didn’t just buy one but I’m happy I have one now and I will definitely be wearing this. The color is perfect and matches everything. Its super soft and warm and looks adorable. You can find yours on eBay for less.

Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion $40

This lotion is pretty cool it conceals minor imperfections and creates a slimmer silhouette. This is the clear one but apparently they have tinted ones that give you a nice glow and hide cellulite better. You can find this on eBay for less.

Elizabeth Cole Adelia Cuff $167.50

I actually really like this bracelet its a pretty green-gray color that I feel goes with everything. Its the perfect holiday bracelet as well. You can find one on eBay for way less.

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Eau De Parfum

I really could have done with out a perfume sample. Especially in the holiday luxe box. This item seems so out of place, I was so disappointed. This is their newest fragrance so I guess thats probably why they added it to the box…but still, I’m not a fan of samples.

I spent $100 and received $423 of great stuff this year. I really don’t like how they didn’t  send out a food item this year. I love discovering high quality food items. What did you think of this years holiday box?

I payed $100 and received $285, I feel like this is really on the low side of the investment. So, I will be using almost everything in this box, I wouldn’t say it was my best investment in a subscription box, but some of the items will make really great presents.

I love getting nail polish in subscription boxes and I do love Ciaté nail polish but this is just not the kind of nail polish that I would want to get from a subscription box though.
