The POPSUGAR Fall 2016 Limited Edition Box was a one-time box offered by POPSUGAR. They do it every fall and it’s one of their most hotly anticipated boxes of the year (maybe the box!).
Transitioning into next season is easy when you have a style kit ready to keep you looking your best when you’re on the go. You’ll always be cozy with just the right amount of shimmer.
If you’re unfamiliar with them, POPSUGAR Must Have Box is a monthly women’s subscription box. In the regular monthly 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!
The updated branding for the Limited Edition boxes is modern and fabulous! I also love unwrapping all the items individually – it makes it feel really special!
The information card was hiding under the top layer of tissue.
Let Your inner street style star shine bright! Fall is the most influential season in fashion, so we’ve curated the perfect box for embracing this seasons biggest trends. From rosy hues to minimalist details, these luxe finds are spot-on for any modern street star.
The information card was a 4-part foldout.
It contained all the information on the items in the box!
A beautiful selection of items perfect for this Fall.
Consider this your ticket to Fashion Week in a single box, because we’ve got you covered with the very best of the seasons most buzzed-about beauty and style picks.
Sloane Stationery Great Thoughts Notepad ($51.90). I love rose gold and I love that POPSUGAR loves rose gold too. This seriously luxe notebook is the ultimate in overpriced desk accessories – I’m excited to have it and I’d really only have the opportunity to get it in a box like this one (I can’t say that this would make my “affordable” list!).
It’s embossed with rose-gold print and crafted in the UK using traditional bookbinding methods with luxurious gilt-edge cream paper and covered in lizard embossed card.
I love the top-bound design!
Caeden Linea Nº1 Ceramic & Rose Gold Headphones ($99.99). More rose gold. These headphones are absolutely brilliant!
This was a mini unboxing experience inside the larger box itself!
All the extras, including the cord and a visual style guide, were inside a second container.
Box purchasers should know that there have been quality issues with these headphones – contact Popsugar for assistance if your caps have come off (thanks Anna for the pic!).
The white vegan leather is accented by rose gold.
The headphones themselves are cushy and light weight. I’m mildly terrified of getting them dirty, but a dust bag was included too!
My headphones were fine, and I am normally capital-O-obsessed with rose gold, but I decided to get the glossy black iPhone 7 and… now I want the glossy black and gold headphones – I’m seriously considering getting them in the headphone version! (I don’t care about using a dongle, do you? Although I’m extremely curious what sorts of innovations may spring from the switch to a lightning connector!).
Lancer Skincare Dani Glowing Skin Perfector ($95). More rose gold! Love the packaging! This lightweight cream is described as an “illuminating skin finisher and treatment that revitalizes, brightens, and perfects all skintones in one step”! This high-end brand is not normally something I would purchase but I’m delighted to get it in this box!
It uses light-catching mineral highlighters to blur imperfections and enhance your skin’s natural radiance. You can use it after moisturizer, or as a highlighter, or use it as a primer underneath your regular makeup for a glow-from-within sort of look. I love it on its own, over my regular moisturizer. In addition to the great youthful glow, this cream uses Asian botanicals to help firm aging skin!
Thrive Causemetics Triple Threat Color Stick in Joy ($36). This rose gold (!) cream highlighter stick features an all-natural, vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, and sulfate-free formula!
It adds a hint of shimmery rose gold to your cheeks, lips, and wherever else you’d like a little shine!
The end includes a blending brush for the perfect application.
This shimmer stick is also infused with vitamin C, evening primrose oil, and sunflower seed oil for improving skin tone and texture. Swatches: top is blending, bottom is a few swipes.
Buji Baja With Love From Eurostar Lavender Rib Scarf ($70). A wearable, gorgeous scarf. This is lavender – but it seems like almost a rosy dusty lavender. It’s 14×82″ and 90% acrylic, 10% mohair. I had to snap a photo of it inside the box to give you a sense of just how big it is!
The soft dusty pastel color of this scarf remind me more of a winter item than a fall item. Indeed, it’s still upper 80s here and I think this scarf would have been a better fit in the winter limited edition box (perhaps all boxes need to keep in mind that fall is about the temperature changing – but we’re not quite into winter yet!).
10 tips for an effortless trip were included from Eurostar. As silly as it sounds, I would have liked to get a discount! My sister in law lives in Cambridge (UK!) and we’re hoping to plan a serious family trip soon.
I do agree that Paris & London sound like great ideas!
Jack & Lucy Faux Fur Pom Keychain ($41). This is a POPSUGAR exclusive brand, and I’ll get this out of the way – the value on this item is ludicrous. On what planet would anyone pay $41?!
That doesn’t stop this pom from being absolutely adorable! I love bag charms and yes, I will use this! It’s nice and big and super cute, and the bordeaux color seems nice for fall. If you can’t bring yourself to be-charm your bag, you can use it as a fun, playful keychain!
Well, this is the fall of rose gold and I couldn’t be happier about that! This box was pure luxe and with a value pushing $400 ($393!) it was pretty amazing for the price paid – there’s no better way for the average person to be able to use and enjoy luxury products than in a limited edition box like this one. Even though some of the retail values were somewhat silly, it still works out to under $17 per item, which is totally worth every cent. Now I’m excited for the Holiday special edition boxes. And the Neiman Marcus box too!
Did you get a Fall 2016 Limited Edition Box? What did you think of this year’s edition?
Unfortunately this box is sold out, but the CFDA Special Edition box is available!
Comments
To be fair, my mom paid $75 for my MK pom pom… but it’s real rabbit fur. $41 for faux seems ridic.
Be careful with those headphones you got – ppl are reporting horror stories with long hair getting caught in the bar design, though your hair is pretty short now, right? So you should be okay!
Yep, all chopped! I do love the bag charm, but I typically pay $5 for them at the stuffy store.
