[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ith Spring a thing of the past, we are soaking up as much sun, waves, and much deserved downtime as we can. And what better way to have jumpstarted our fun-filled summer than opening our June Popsugar Must Have Box. This month, items were curated to help us kick off our flip flops and lounge in style from mermaid-inspired beauty picks to cute “Aloha” trucker hat, and more. Keep reading our review to find out all the amazing goodies we received in our Must Have Box this month. Happy Summer!

[large_title title=”Our Thoughts”]
We have always been fans of the Popsugar Must Have Boxes, and get excited when we see the pink and white boxes on our doorsteps, but this month’s lounge in style theme was absolutely perfect. The range of products we received, along with usefulness of each product with each other and on their own is amazing.
One of our favorites (and there are many!) is the Aloha Collection pouch. Not only are we living for the turquoise palm tree motifs on the pouch, but we’ve been enjoying using it to store wet bathing suits during the gym and after a swim at the pool. No more wet beach bags or stuffing wet suits in awful plastic bags.
Now we’re not usually big trucker hat fans, but we completely fell in love with the Billabong “Aloha” hat the moment we spotted it in our box. And unlike most caps, this one has breathable side panels that keep us from getting overly hot. Plus there is plenty of room for us to wear a high ponytail if we want.
We don’t wear a ton of makeup in the summer because frankly the hot California heats just melt it right off. However, we do love using products that help boost our beauty routine during the summer. So we were excited to discover in our box the Captain Blankenship sea salt hair spray and the much needed cuticle oil from NCLA. Nothing like getting those fabulous beachy waves we love rocking throughout summer, and keeping our nails nice and hydrated.
There is nothing like a good summer read while on a lounger by the pool. So we were thrilled to get our hands on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Already we are on chapter three, and can’t get enough of the intrigue. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a can’t-put-it-down kind of book to enjoy over the summer.
And because we adore fun home decor items, we couldn’t get enough of the Meri Meri blue and white party straws. So much so, we immediately served ourselves a nice ice tea and popped one of these party straws to give our drink that extra touch.
Last, but certainly not least in our box were the buttery goodness of the Belgian Boys mini cookies shaped as fun little mustaches, and the Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino (an extra bonus treat). Let’s just say these two lasted no more than five minutes. And we don’t regret it one bit. Yum!

I haven’t ever had one of these subscription boxes (kinda holding out for one with travel goodies!), but looks like you got a fab haul in June’s box! x
I’ve never heard of these subscription boxes. I live under a frugal rock mind you so that’s probably why. Thanks for offering such an insightful review.
I miss my PopSugar subscription so much! I used to love getting to try some really trendy things without having to commit to purchasing them. What a fun box you got!
That looks like such a fab box to open! Perfect for those summer holidays. Love that it is has everything that you need for relaxing 🙂
I’d probably get excited everyone this box would be delivered in my door! Those straws and hat are so fun!

Looks like a nice goodie box! I love frappacinos! Definitely going to have to look into this, I recently stopped by subscription box and looking for another!
Well I love Coffee so its exciting that the Popsugar box contained frapps. Plus I have always been described as a mermaid because of my long curly hair so would love to try the mermaid sea salt spray x
A new box I had never heard about. So many great brands in this. I think that’s a great box! xx corinne
I love those Starbucks drinks and the hat is a lot of fun too. Love these contents
I can’t believe you got a novel in your posugar box! That’s very cool. I would love to try the sea salt hairspray.
I need to get that box! I really want to read that book. That hair spray sounds fabulous too!
I’ve always wanted to try out subscription boxes like the ones from pop sugar! The only subscription I’ve tried so far is the Studio DIY clutch subscription and I love them!
I have heard of these boxes, but never had the chance to try one! Guess I better go sign up!
The Belgian Boys Mini Cookie Stash cookie sound super tasty! The coupon code SHOP5 to get $5 off your first box is an awesome deal!
I want that Billabong hat! Not sure about the book though but the drink, snack and hat wins it for me! I wonder if they deliver in the UK
Oh wow this looks great! I love these subscription boxes, so many amazing things, those cookies look delicious!
What a great sounding box, I love that it includes all different items, it isn’t just one thing, so even if something doesn’t take your fancy, hopefully the other items will.
What a great idea for a box and looks like it has so many great things! I’m definitely interested in giving it a try!
This box has coffee and cookies! It must be a great box
I would love to try a Popsugar Must Have box. It looks like you get fantastic products to try in them.
I love subscription boxes, but I’ve never tried Popsugar. You got so many great products!
Great selection here! Everything looks wonderful. You could even say there’s something for the whole family. My kids would be all over those mustache cookies, and my husband would have gone straight for the Starbucks frappuccino—without a doubt!
I love this box. It combines fashion and essentials. Thanks for sharing.

I had a subscription for a while and got some fabulous items in my boxes. I even bought the specials and they were amazing. I might revisit it again in the future.
I love this idea! Thank you for the promo codes! I like the starbucks! you have to stay hydrated while you being spoiled!
I lately fell in love with subscription box idea. All the goodies in one box just make my day. This box look awesome.
What a great subscription box. I need to subscribe to something – something just for me… The kids get their “boxes” monthly and it is like a holiday when they arrive…
Great box! This is perfect for summer. I want to try the cookie stash, it looks yummy.
Great box! I love yummy goodies and useful stuff.
that box looks awesome! It’s worth to subscribe it
This is the type of box that would make me subscribe. However, I’d probably be disappointed in other boxes.
I have heard a lot about subscription boxes now and haven’t tried this before! Wow, such cool stuff out there. 😉
I have never tried the subscription boxes but this looks pretty dope. I love the ALOHA motif as well
I am glad you recommend the book. I have been looking for a good one lately. And those straws!! Super cute!
The mermaid sea salt hairspray sounds amazing!!!
Wow, the gifts in this box look absolutely amazing. I think my favorite would have to be the bag with the turquoise palm trees on it. It looks super cute and the idea of being able to put a swimsuit in it is perfect.
Lovely box — My weakness are Belgian cookies.
One day I want to get a PopSugar box! One day…..
I’m glad you’re enjoying your popsugar box! All these new subscription services look so nice
I can see why you’ve always been fans of the must have boxes. I’d like to try it.
It looks like such a fun little box that you have here. We would love the mustache cookies for sure.
I love that they included a beach read! I always struggle to pick out a book for the beach.
I also get Popsugar, and I thought that June’s box was fun! I hope you enjoy yours! Xx-Doran @HauteBeautyGuide
This box of goodies is definitely a win for me as it is filled with practically all you need in one go. My favourite though, would be the Belgian cookies, love them.
Wow this looks like such an awesome box!!
The Popsugar Must Have Box for June sounds like a great one for sure. I love the Aloha Collection pouch and the book “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid sound like a great read for the beach. Thanks for sharing this awesome subscription box.
Never heard of this subscription box but the content looks cool.
I like that there is even a book inside 😀 Whuuut?? :DD
I’m such a fan of surprises and goodies, the moment of opening is so exciting :DD
It looks like a cool box, but I wish the price was a little lower. I feel hesitant to spend $40 on a mystery box of stuff. But as with most of these boxes, its worth is different to everyone.
I love all the goodies that came in the box, especially the Starbucks frappuccino! I do not have box subscription, but I am sure it’s a lot of fun having a mystery box every month. enjoy!
Loved your goodies in this subscription box! I liked that cute Aloha Collection pouch and hat!
I’ll go for the Aloha collection pouch too and the NCLA cuticle oil.. truly perfect for the season.
What a great box of goodies! I used to have a subscription to PopSugar but let it go. I might reconsider.
There are so many great products in this box and they are all so perfect for summer. The book sounds intriguing to read on the beach and the Starbucks drink is such a nice surprise!
