FabFitFun Fall 2019 - Review/Photos

I received my FabFitFun pretty late. Because my card wasn’t updated for a month my order was delayed - But with the spoilers, I wasn’t even sure I wanted the box this month. Which is pretty disappointing because I finally rounded one full year equaling four seasons AKA four boxes. Fall 2019s box was not impressive, I think if I didn’t have the flat iron in it I wouldn’t have updated my card. I’ve been using the same straightener for 10 years that I got at TJ Maxx for around $20 and have been meaning to get a new one for years. How did you feel about your FabFitFun box?

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks - A set of 6 large (shocking) gold foil eye masks to brighten, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of dark circles. After 1 use of sitting on my face for 15 minutes, I can already tell that the puffiness was lessening. I love the gold foil and the size of these eye masks! Retails for $25

NassifMD Detox Pads - I was quite surprised at how large these pads were. It was one of the items I picked in the customization and the only item of the customization options that I wanted. The Detox Pads deep clean, exfoliate, reduce pores, brighten, even skin tone, firm, smooth, and reduce inflammation. The ingredients used will give your skin a fresh glow, reduce breakouts, diminish pore size and brighten over time. On their website they’ve stated, “In a clinical study, our Detox Pads removed makeup 108% more effectively than soap and water.” Retails for $45

Human + Kind Body Souffle - whipped and quickly absorbed into your skin, which leaves it very soft. Retails for $18.50

amika Strand Perfect Ceramic Styler - The amika Strand Perfect Styler has 100% ceramic plates that heat throughout. They radiate far in-fared heat that preserves the moisture in your hair to protect from damage. The end result made my hair extremely shiny, color me impressed. This flat iron heats up in less than 20 seconds and matches my mini hairdryer from BoxyLuxe - neato. Retails for $80

The Better Skin Co. Better Skin Lava Magik - This product is a 3 in 1: Cleanser, Exfoliator, and Mask. Lava Magik works to give the skin a more radiant appearance. French Lava wrapped in calendula, grapeseed, cucumber, and chamomile. This product intrigued me with its red-ish pink lava from France, but I'm unsure how it's purposed to work as all 3. In the end, when applied, the Lava Magik is creamy and turns into a fine exfoliator. Let's not forget the beautiful fragrance. Retails for $32

Skinvolve Body Boost Gel - This product was inspired by menthol's ancient medicinal benefits. They claim it works by targeting problem areas through our caffeinated blend of green tea, ginseng, and menthol to help break down stubborn fat cells all while keeping you smooth and toned. While it been a long hot minute since I've been to the gym - I started using pre-workout 5 years ago (and love it). But preworkout for your skin? Interesting invention - but not a road I am treking down... Retails for $45

Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair - With the process of going silver (the long process) I'm always picking up repair or conditioning hair products. When I lived in Vegas, I loved going to the Aveda Institute and getting my hair done with their products. It protects from heat to reduce breakage by 90%. It helps detangle and protect from breakage and damage due to heat styling. My hair is the longest its been in over 10 years...WOWZA...and since its naturally awkward curly - it tends to get extremely knotty in the shower. Retails $31

Harper + Ari Exfoliating Sugar Cubes in Juice Cleanse- How cute are these?! And the smell? I'm not understanding why they chose to name it Juice Cleanse, but its a sugary and fruity scent. YUM. 1 squishy cube goes far in the shower and covers your entire body (and surprised me by getting soapy). After I checked out their website, I wanted to buy Lemon and Winter Woods in the tall adorable jars. Retails for $16

Ipsy Glambag February 2019

 

 KISSES! to the Ipsy's Glambag February 2019. A very girly bag, extremely faint pink/borderline white clutch with hot pink lip kisses on them. It was a very pink and red themed month. Not very original...just saying...But I do find the bag cute! :)

KNC BEAUTY's Star Eye Mask - I hate my dark circle and once a week use some sort of eye masks. These are the most wickedest I've ever gotten! I'm OBSESSED! Shooting stars? Glitter? Excuse me, I'm swooning. Retails for $25 for pack of 5

F.A.R.A.H BRUSHES' Powder Brush 50F - brush is not pictured, somehow I misplaced since recieving last month. Sad panda! Retails for $14

LAQA & CO. Prickly Pear pH Gloss - long wearing and personalized to you...how? This item adjusts to your skin's PH balance levels - customizing your own shade. While this color is too subtle, I love the concept. Retails for $15

GLAMGLOW's Glowstarter Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow -  Glamglow is a new company to me in the last few months. Yeah, I'm kinda obsessed with them. GLOW. Retails for $49

INARA COSMOBEAUTY's Nail Polish in Pulse - who doesn't love a classic red...except when your sent a used bottle. Pictured below. FAIL. Retails for $8

 

 

FabFitFun (Winter 2018) - My First Box!

With my 2nd FabFitFun box on the way this week (Spring 2019), I looked through my phone and noticed I never reviewed my first box. FAIL.

Last fall, I noticed that a few ads popping up on social for FabFitFun with a $10 coupons for the first month. Annnnd you know I'm all about those coups! I had heard about this company before but wasn't interested mainly due to the fact it was too much money and looked too preppy for me. PASS.

This time I actually did my research. $50 plus tax for each season, that's 4x a year. That's not bad as I thought. You can get a break if you upgrade to select, but I haven't had the $150 to throw down for the year yet. I plan to soon...

Anyways, when you sign up you'll take a extremely long quiz. No joke. It had many, many questions. I did it before bed - thinking it'll take 5 minutes like Ipsy. Nope, it took over 20. But they really get to know what your into: beauty, jewelry, clothes, fitness.You get full size products, not trial size like other companies...that's what pulled me in. 1 million subscribers! They know what they're doing!

When the Winter box came, I was delighted. It was delivered in this colorful box below. I almost didn't want to toss it in the garage when I was done 😋
