FabFitFun Spring 2019

 

It's FabFitFun time! Aren't you excited? This is my second season in the quarterly subscription box and I don't regret the decision at all. Spring had some splendid items picked out for me and 1 FAILURE. Can you guess which one?

If you are interested in subscribing and want $10 off, here's the link: http://xo.fff.me/l2Qq3

The 2Bandits' Athens Necklace - lets start off with this dainty necklace. Not a style I usually go out and buy, but this jewel is a great addition to my work wardrobe. The chain is light and has opal bar. Retails for $30

Manna Kadar Champagne Charcoal Body Scrub - For years I've been making different scrubs for Christmas gifts and for myself. I won't just buy any scrub, especially when I can make a comparable one. But this is game changing! It is made with charcoal and Dead Sea minerals - leaving skin hydrated and smooth. The scent is light and addicting as well. Retails for $35

Tula's Purifying Face Cleanser - This large cleanser uses probiotics to remove dirt and makeup. The consistency is thicker than other cleansers I've used before, but effective nonetheless. Retails for $28

OUAI's Leave in Conditioner - OUAI claims to de-tangle and leave your hair shiny all day long. While I don't notice the shine, it worked quite well to de-tangle/defrizz my hair. The scent is all sorts of fantastic, lasting in your hair for hours. Retails for $26

Korres' Wild Rose Facial Cream - WE HAVE A WINNER! This product is the best item in the Spring Box. Korres' facial cream is an advanced brightening sleeping serum for your face. It evens out your skin, softens skin, hydrates and repairs fine lines. The first time I tried this cream...I knew I have to buy this again. My skin was so happy overnight, lemme tell you. Retails for $48

Unplug Meditation Aromatherapy Diffuser - FAILURE! This is the item I was looking forward to. I tossed my old diffuser, which was getting grimy and had trouble opening - due to a broken piece. But Unplug leaks when your move it even a millimeter. It does NOT turn off when it runs it course. So in the middle of the night you can hear a clicking, because the water is out. I contacted FFF about this defective item and they had great customer service. They sent me a replacement that has the SAME issues! WHAT!? I'm extremely disappointed. I use diffuses everyday/night. Lets chat about what Unplug sells this piece of junk for also. It is very insulting. Retails for $55

Dr. Brandt's Needles No More No More Baggage - After such a bad product above, Dr. Brandt will save us. I'm such a massive fan of this company. While on the expensive side, their products are worth every penny. An advanced polymer gel that minimizes dark circles and puffiness. Retails for $24

Giadzy Copper Plated Measuring Spoons - These rose-gold spoons are must have to replacement boring measuring spoons. Retails for $15


At the bottom you will see my $5 add on.

 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! :)

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 😋
