FabFitFun Summer 2019 Review/Photos

Hello, summer! Here in Chicago we finally have some summer weather. Sure it’s mostly rainy and cloudy but at least it’s finally in the 80s. I don’t know where you live, but I hope you’re having some less crazy seasonal weather. So this marks my third season from FabFitFun and I have to say that it’s my least favorite. There were some gems 💎 , most definitely. Overall I wasn’t really feeling a box this season. In no way does that mean I’m canceling my subscription because I do love this company. They have amazing customer service, they are dedicated and on top of issues with their customers. This season just felt a little repetitive. For example, there I received a makeup setting spray and a rose facial spray. Which are basically the exact same products? AnyWho with further ado here is the FabFitFun summer box!

111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Masks (Set of 5) - I love 111Skin products and these masks are no exception. Whenever they come in a monthly box I look forward to a new high-end skincare product to try out. As you can see it'll turn you into "Silence of the Lambs." These masks are actually bigger than most sheets, making it baggy on some parts of my face. A lot of companies manufacture them either for small faces. Have you noticed your sheet masks not fitting your face?  The Rose Gold hydrogel mask is infused with pure gold and rose extract. Retails for $32 each or Set of 5 for $160

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and 4 Play Moisturizing Body Shower Cream Gel - Over the last few months I've heard people raved about this Bum Bum cream. It has a unique texture; thick and light but quickly absorbs into your skin. The fragrance will make one feel as if your floating in the Caribbean. Turns out its: salted caramel and pistachio. Not a duo I'd pair but it'll get you there. They say on their website and packaging, 'infused with the all-powerful Guarana Extract.' What is that? It's a Brazilian plant that has been used for centuries for its therapeutic uses. It comes in 3 sizes: purse size (25ml), travel size (75ml) and full size (240ml). The size pictured is the middle and the range  $10-$45, the most expensive body cream I've tried. If its as fantastic and effective as everybody say it is, I would consider it. We'll see if it makes it to the product of the month list. Oh, yeah...I'm bringing that back! YAY! The shower gel left my skin baby soft and not gross and dry like usual after my shower. I'm quite impressed; I understand why people are crazed over this company. Shower Gel Retails for $25 and BumBum Cream for $20

Burn 60 Resistance Bands - When customization opened there was the choice of the bands or bowls (or cups - I forget). I had been wanting to try resistance bands for are now; good timing, now that I have started physical therapy again. They came in 3 sizes - light, medium and heavy. Retails for $34

COOLA Organic SPF 30 Makeup Setting Sunscreen Spray - this matte makeup setting spray offer SPF 30 - which is the sole reason I'll use it. Setting sprays is a product I've never bought. I'd mainly say it's something that wasn't a nessecitity. Retails for $36

Invisibobble Original Duo Pack - I've seen this bobbles popping up in more places lately. And the way I go through charities...how can I not want this? It's sold as a traceless hair ring. It holds my thick, heavy hair up and won't hurt your hair either. My only hair tie that doesn't absorb water, very interested. The company has some nifty products, especially the Mermaid Bobble! Retails for $16

Generation Clay Ultra Violet Brightening Clay Mask - Purple mask! My mind shouted with glee. The mask started to dry so fast that the purple dried into a pale lilac/white color. It happened so quick that I didn't get to enjoy my purple. (It's one of my fav colors, in case you didn't catch that). This mask is filled with desert lime, clay, davidson plum and aloe vera to brighten and soothe redness. Maybe its because I used so many different masks up to 5x a week, but I didn't notice any brightening. I also feel it's very expensive for this product. Retails for $39

Whish Exfoliating Foot Mask - Let me start off by saying I didn’t follow the instructions to the fullest extent. I found it a little ridiculous that you need to lather up your feet and leave this product on while you sleep for 8-12 hours. I left it on for 30 minutes and then went to take a shower. There was absolutely no difference. My feet were not any softer or any less dry. This product is obviously something I’ll have to try out to the full extent over the weekend. Reails for $32

Grace & Stella Rose Facial Spray - It been a handful of years since I had a Rose Spray, but they are benefitically when your skin is dry or sunburned. I love the feeling of the light, freshness with its rose scent on my face. For awhile, I kept one at work for mid-day skin refreshers. Retails for $26

Mystery Choice - Dr. Brandt Pores No More - The third choices for customization I wasn’t feeling it. I believe there was a towel and maybe a hair dryer was the other choice? So I decided to choose the mystery gift which was the first time for me. I am happy I did because I received a Dr. Brandt Pores No More cleanser. My Curology usually takes care of the issues I have with cleaning out my pores. Lately, it hasn’t been doing the job as well as it usually does. So I washed my face last night with the cleanser and my face was back to normal. Nothing like a Dr. Brandt products to make me blissful. I haven’t found one that I did not like. Retails for $36

Squeezee Sponges - This was my first add on for $10, a pack of 3 liquid soap-filled sponges. This product isn't a disappointment and quite effective.

Daily Concepts Daily Back Scrubber - I found this, my second item, interesting as it is a loofah back scrubber. It has two handles and you can reach any part of your body with it. Also comes with an attachment to hang on the wall of the shower. My body appreciates it! Retails for $18
