What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.
All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.
Kiehl’s did a brand take over this month. I have a weird relationship with Kiehl’s some things are great and some things I hate and I never know which it will be.
This I am excited to try my skin has been so congested. Even though I don’t love clay masks I just have a good feeling about this one actually being effective at pulling gunk out.
This is kinda cool. So it forms it’s own pimple patch you dot it on and it seals up like a liquid bandaid. I feel like this could be really good and better then pimple patches if it works well.
Always down to try a new sunscreen but this is weird. So this says it doesn’t qualify as sunscreen but according to the ingredients it does and the full size also says that it does not really sure what the deal with that is very odd.
I like brand take over boxes I like getting to see multiple items from a brand and really get a feel for them. Not a good value or item amount this month though so that is really disappointing.
This was a good month I got enough used up to to be under the amount of items I started with for the year.

Repurchase: No
SK-II Facial Treatment Mask this are absurdly expensive I don’t love them they are very thick and have a ton of serum and I find they stay on decent and I can wear them for a long time but I don’t think they are worth the price. I will use them when I have them but I would not go out of my way to get these.

Repurchase: Yes
Tsaio Chamomila Facial Wash Foam I could cut this open and get a ton more but I hated it so much that once I couldn’t squeeze it anymore it had to go. It was so thick and really hard to foam up and really didn’t make my skin feel clean.
Repurchase: No
Dr. Jart+ DermaClear Micro Makeup Remover (4) these are good at removing make up for sure but stings like hell if it gets in your eyes.

What is it: Every season FabFitFun sends 6 to 8 items valued at $300+. Annual members get to customize their entire box as well as the option to swap out for credit to shop with instead of getting a box. Annual members also get add-ons and faster shipping and earlier access to customizations.
Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.
This is a bit of a boring box because I choose boring things I needed refills of instead of trying different thing but like sometimes that’s what you got to do. I also like didn’t realize i went all in for the Amika stuff this season.
I collect decks of cards and I really liked that these are waterproof and not see through because so many waterproof cards are see through and it makes them pretty hard to play with. Not the most expensive thing I could have chose for sure.
I was really excited to try these but the box came moldy and even those these were sealed and seem fine I’m not sure that is safe. I have reached out to FabFitFun but no answer yet.
I have wanted to try Spectrum brushes for so long they do the cutest collab sets. So even though these are not the style or set I would have chose I jumped for the chance to get to try them.
I have liked the Lamellar treatments that I have tried and they seem to work really well for me so I figured I’d grab this since I do not have one on hand at the moment.
Definitely not happy about the mold and hoping they get back to me soon to resolve the issue. because that is pretty gross.
