The POPSUGAR Special Edition Holiday for Her Box is a one-time box offered by POPSUGAR filled with an assortment of items curated by the editors of POPSUGAR! If you’re unfamiliar with them, POPSUGAR Must Have Box is a monthly women’s subscription box. You’ll receive items from a mix of categories like beauty, home, accessories, jewelry, etc. It’s one of the most popular subscription boxes around!
For 2015 POPSUGAR Must Have Box is offering Holiday for Her ($100), Holiday for Him ($100), the Neiman Marcus box ($250), and a special Today Show Holiday collaboration ($75).
So much unwrapping and unboxing with these limited edition boxes!
And everything in the box!
Elizabeth Cole Adelia Cuff Bracelet ($168) This was a spoiler item and it really didn’t disappoint! It’s an antique gold-plated cuff with grey Swarovski crystals (Swarovski is heavily involved with the CFDA and it didn’t surprise me one bit to see multiple Swarovski items all over the December and holiday boxes!).
The cuff fit just fine and is semi-adjustable – though I can see how those with large wrists would have an issue.
White + Warren Luxe Knotted Headband ($88) I adore my cashmere hat from last year’s box and I was really excited about this one – because I can wear it indoors for an extra touch of warmth on a nippy day. It’s hand knit and totally luxe.
You can wear this like a headband, or over your ears, or with the knot underneath if you prefer that look!
Nima Oberoi Lunares Orb Candlestick Holders ($69)
Et Al Designs Dot Candles ($24)
I love the idea of luxing up your home for the holidays! The candle holders from Nima Oberoi are totally stunning and come gift boxed. They’re also tarnish resistant!
Unfortunately my beautiful Dot candles arrived broken. I hope they can send a replacement! They are hand painted and embellished. I think I should be able to melt it back together, but I don’t think it will look very pretty after I do!
These will be totally lovely during any party!
The candlestick holders also came with a strip of beeswax to help hold thinner candles in place. Thanks Creative Candles!
PRTTY PEAUSHUN Skin Tight Body Lotion ($39) I absolutely love the packaging for this product! It’s scent-free and contains subtle light reflecting pigments to give a great glow! I love that there’s so much of it. They also sell tinted version but any one of them will help lessen the appearance of skin imperfections. I was surprised to find that this lotion (that’s designed to illuminate) also contained great botanicals like calendula to make your skin actually look better, too! I was surprised by this item, and pleasantly so!
Butter LONDON Lip Service LIPPY Liquid Lipstick Collection ($29) There’s totally a mistake on the information card, that refers to “bloody brilliant lip crayons.” These definitely aren’t because they’re glosses. They’re a bit sticky but full of pigment!
Here are the colors:
Fruit Cake (Set Exclusive!) – Berry, Creme
Pudding (Set Exclusive!) – Rosy Pink, Creme
Tea with the Queen – Pinkish Tan, Creme
Toff – Dark Rose Pink, Creme
Unsurprisingly, you can get polishes to match!
Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Eau de Parfum ($6) This didn’t even have a value on the card, and I’m hesitant to even give it one for the review. It’s not a full-size item, and came in the dreaded vial (really, I only ever open perfume vials because I review – otherwise I would never ever open one – I think I’m totally scarred from a childhood perfume spilling incident). Fortunately my mother-in-law loves anything rose and will be absolutely delighted with it, so I’m not personally broken up about it – but I just don’t think it was a great item for the box. I would rather have those pink bon-bons on the front of the card (anyone know what they are?).
Leaving out the fragrance I totaled $417 in Must Have items for this box, which was really insane. I’m really happy overall with this box and the curation (besides the vile vial!) and I think most women would love receiving (or gifting what they wouldn’t – everything is gift-ready) every item in this box. I’m sad about my candles but I’m hoping POPSUGAR can correct that issue. I love how all the items are a special touch for the holiday season – some glimmer, super soft warmth, a beautiful table setting, really lovely glosses, and glistening body lotion!

Comments
I was really worried about whether I would like the bracelet or not. Turns out I love it and have been wearing it nonstop. It’s much prettier and less gaudy than I was imagining it.
I 100% agree with you about the perfume. I didn’t open the vial either for fear of breaking it and/or spilling copious amounts of old lady scent everywhere.
One of my candles was broken too. Although I may have done that myself jamming it in the candle holders.
Is the candy on the cover from Candy Club? They regrammed a picture that Brandi Milloy posted of it?

i don’t think so! looking at this photo https://www.instagram.com/p/-xPSeHo-1V/?taken-by=popsugarmh
they look like sugar coated cranberries! which would not be tasty! but i wouldn’t have looked unless you mentioned it!
a lot of candles were broken from what i have seen. they probably should have been wrapped better. I’d be fine with a $5 refund instead of having them waste more postage on sending out new ones that would probably break and having the artisan make more. According to the box value the entire set is $5.75 out of the purchase price. I really hate perfume vials. I think they’re terrible.
I had a broken candle too. I love the bracelet.
