Product: Loeffler Randall Envelope Clutch
Retail Value: $70.00
The Loeffler Randall Envelope Clutch in nude python embossed leather is well made and beautiful. It has a fabric lining inside with off-white colored dots against a black background. The clutch measures 8.5" wide x 5.5" tall, and can easily fit small accessories and a cell phone. Although I prefer purses and don't carry clutches often, I really like this one so I'll definitely find an opportunity to use it!
Product: Turkish-T Diamond Throw
Retail Value: $65.00
This throw is designed exclusively by POPSUGAR, so it is only available through the special edition holiday box. It measures 50 x 70 inches, and has a herringbone diamond pattern woven in light gray. The throw is soft and lightweight, so it can be used for any season. With the neutral gray and white color combination, it will work well with most home color schemes.
Product: RMS Beauty Living Luminizer and Brightening Brush
Retail Value: $50.00 (Full Size - Living Luminizer: $38.00 & Brightening Brush: $12.00)
I am relatively new to RMS Living Luminizer, and is delighted to discover that it is an organic product. Here's the list of ingredients in case you are interested: *Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, *Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, *Cera Alba (Beeswax), *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, and may contain [+/- Titanium Dioxide CI77891, Mica CI 77019]. Asterisks denotes certified organic.
The luminizer has a very pretty pearl shine, and works great any time you need to brighten your eyes or bring a bit of glow to your face. It is accompanied by a brush great for application to highlight the inner eye corners and down the bridge of the nose. You can also use your fingers to apply the luminizer, so it’s a matter of personal preference.
Product: Illume Gilded Amberleaf Metallic Knob Tin 3-Wick Candle
Retail Value: $23.50 (Full Size)
This 3-wick candle comes in a beautiful metallic gold tin, and is infused with mandarin, vanilla, vetiver and tobacco. As soon as I opened the lid, the fragrance immediately permeated the room. I picked up on the vanilla and mandarin scents right away, and I like that it's not too overpowering. When not in use, this candle can be a nice decorative or accent item.
Product: Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment (0.5 oz)
Retail Value: $22.00
The Kate Somerville exfoliating treatment gets a lot of great reviews. It contains papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin enzymes formulated to naturally exfoliate dead skin cells. It comes in three different sizes: 0.5 oz, 2 oz, or 5 oz tubes. I haven't used this before, so I am excited to give it a try.
Product: Habit Cosmetics Nail Polish in 21 Nefertiti
Retail Value: $18.00 (Full Size)
This is a natural strengthening nail polish made with myrrh extract. It is also 5-free (made without toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, DBP and camphor), vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. I love the design of this bottle! The combination of the bamboo-like texture on the lid and the glass gives this bottle a very eco but modern feel. The color of the polish is mocha creme with copper shine. I think it will work well with the scarf.
Product: Droga Chocolates Money on Honey
Retail Value: $7.95 (Full Size)
The Money on Honey is a caramel covered in pure dark chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt on top. The flavors work well together, and has a good balance of sweet and touch of savory. I ate a piece during the photoshoot (couldn't resist the temptation), and I have to say it's pretty yummy!

Final Thoughts: The total suggested retail price of this box is $256.45. Not only does the products more than double in value, it is also a very well curated box. The variety of item selection, good product quality, and beautiful presentation makes this box a win for me. In addition, all of the items are nicely wrapped individually, so you can easily gift them. Personally, I think the 2014 POPSUGAR Must Have Special Edition Holiday For Her box is definitely a 'must have'.
