When Popsugar announced that they were selling their "All Star Mystery Box" for $19.95, I jumped at the chance. I have been eyeing this subscription box and liked the reviews that I saw. For less than $20, it had a guarantee for the items in the box to be valued at $100 plus. It was also an one time purchase which I liked.
I buy things all the time off AMAZON so my prices are AMAZON prices. This is how I like to gage if I would buy the items in the box or not. Reviews are also all my opinion.
Deepa Gurnani Headband Amazon prices: $56
This headband is gorgeous. It's thin and very pretty. I would not have bought this and spent $56 on it though.
Book: "The Secret Recipe" by Dominique Ansel Amazon Price: $23.49
The author is the guy who created the famous Cronut in New York. It's a good coffee table book but the recipes are wayyyy too hard for an average cook to even try.
Tarte Amazonian clay eye shadow quad "Apple of my eye" Amazon Price: $9.99
The colors are very natural which I like. But it's eye shadow and I hardly ever wear any.
Note: Apparently, they don't sell this on the Tarte website and it was a special edition eye shadow from the past
Capri Mercury Jewel Box in Rain Amazon Price: $19.99
I love candles. I love awesome smelling candles with clean scents. I love the design on the outer edge and the distressed wood look. I love how you can use it as a jewelry box after you're done with the candle. I was excited to get this!
Note: Georgia is currently 100 degrees so the candle was very melted when I opened the box. I stuck it in the fridge for an hour and the candle is good as new.
Terrapin Ridge Pecan Honey Mustard (8 oz) Amazon price is $19.99 but its $7.30 for an 10 oz jar on their website. I'm going to estimate to the price to be around ~$6.00
I didn't try it yet but I'm sure for a honey mustard this is yummy.
Wine glass marker Amazon Price: $6.50
Already gifted toward a friend who loves wine.
Total price= $121.97
For $20, it was worth the price but none of the items really wowed me and I can see myself not using any of the items except the candle. Maybe instead of the book, there was another item...
