FabFitFun Box

Cost: $54.99 a Season Annual/$59.99 Seasonal

Cycle: Every Season/4x a year

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.

I wasn’t super thrilled about the options this season it felt like a mish mash of leftover items and then I totally forgot all the things I picked. But now that it is here I am actually pretty excited about it.

Frank Body Cacao Coffee Scrub

Full Size: 200 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I don’t really love the frank body scrubs they are so messy and I hate having to wash my shower after I take a shower. .They usually smell really good though this one is a chocolate cake coffee scent so that should be nice.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla Beige

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Unfortunately I thought this was the clear one when I choose it. I would not have choose it if I had know this was a tinted one I don’t prefer tinted balms but I will use it all the same because I have it.

Vegamour Gro Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 112 g

Full Size Cost: $36

I picked this solely because I am almost out of Dry Shampoo. I see ads for Vegamour all the time but its always seemed shady to me so now I will get to see for myself. This is supposed to make your hair look thicker and fuller too.

Alex + Ani Emerald Flex Cuff

Full Size Cost: $45

I bought this thinking I was going to give it away as a gift but it is actually really cute on and I am definitely going to keep it. It is adjustable but pretty small and stiff which is ideal for me but might be problematic for most people so that is something to keep in mind.

Short Stories Travel Blanket

Full Size Cost: $68

I picked this because I always like the idea of a travel blankets but they are never right too big to pack right not soft all sorts of things. Now this is pretty ridiculous at that price point like crazy this is super soft but pretty small and thin so I will have to see how i get on with it on my next trip. This is also a repeat item that Fab Fit Fun has done before which is I don’t know how I feel about that.

Little Korboose by April Nemeth Woven Throw Blankey

Full Size Cost: $60

I don’t remember choosing two blankets that’s pretty dumb on my part this isn’t soft it feels like canvas something that should be outside.

Ricola Throat Balm Caramel Flavor

Full Size: 34 drops

Full Size Cost: $6.79

Sample Size: 6 drops

Value: $1.20

Every now and than Fab Fit Fun will throw in a random promo item as like a little ad/bonus. With cold season rapidly approaching this will be nice to have on hand. Ricola stuff usually tastes pretty good too.

Well I ended up being happier than I though I was going to be with this box even though the choices really sucked this season and the prices are ridiculously overinflated for the 2 blankets.

Value: $254.20

Summer Fab Fit Fun this isn’t my favorite one ever but also everything I actually choose for myself not for gifts for other people which is a bit of a nice change for me.

Beach Riot Beach Club Towel

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $78

This is super soft. I think as a beach towel it wouldn’t be that great because it is so soft I think it would pick up alot of water and not dry super fast but as a bath towel it is going to be so nice and I wanted a new nice bath towel. For this price i would want it to be a bit thicker like i don’t ove super thick towels but this is pretty thin and again for this price I would expect this to be more bath sheet sized rather then beach towel sized. So not quite up to my expectations, fully not worth $78 dollars but for the about $9.17 I paid its really nice.

Lilly Pulitzer Zip ID Case

Full Size: Case w/ Lanyard

Full Size Cost: $35

Value: $20

I linked to the closest thing I could find it is a set with a lanyard but it seems like these wallets sell for around $20 and the lanyards around $15. I am not a Lilly Girlie but this is the style of wallet I use and I thought the pattern was so super cute.

L*Space Vibrating Massage Ball

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $42

I have wanted one of these for a long time. I think it is really going to help with knots in my back and my tendonitis. This one is also water resistant which is nice. You can’t buy this anywhere which makes the price seem a bit suspicious but I am really glad to have it.

Volition Strawberry-C Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

This was the category that really didn’t have anything I wanted so this is what I ended up choosing I like Vitamin C Serums so I’ll see how good this one is.

Malin + Goetz Rum Hand + Body Wash

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

This smells really good I can’t wait to try it. I had a mojito lip balm from this brand that I loved.

Olaplex Bond Intense Moisture Mask

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

I have wanted this mask but haven’t wanted to buy it and now I have it. My hair is wrecked at the moment so maybe this can help.

Value: $240

So the value this month is way lower then the $300 that it is supposed to be. I’m not super impressed with this box. While I picked all these items and will use all these items the category choices and the actually quality of the items is a bit disappointing.

I was super resistant to getting this box for a long time but honestly it is really great. It there is always at least one higher priced item I want for myself and really awesome gitfting options. I have used this almost as a curating service and used it to pick out gifts for family and friends and get them at a great deal.

Tula Brightening Treatment Drops

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $56

This one thing already covers more then the cost of the box. I really like Tula skincare but it it so pricey I wouldn’t buy it on my own. So this is a pretty awesome thing to get to have and I love Vitamin C.

Vince Camuto Blue Ombre CZ Necklace

Full Size Cost: $68

Now is the price for this full over inflated totally but that’s designer brands for you. This I fully picked out thinking this will be a great Mother’s Day present for my mom. Something more then I would normally want to spend but I only paid essentially $9 for it and I don’t have to think about presents in May so double win.

BaubleBar Build Your Own Bracelet Kit

Full Size Cost: $16?

So there is alot to unpack here so just try to bear with me on this objectively odd and not worth it choice. So this is actually something that was featured in a box like 2 years ago and it was “valued” at $68 which is a joke these are plastic beads and string this is a child’s camp activity. I typically would not have picked an item like this I don’t even feel like it is worth the $9 I paid for it. But I have a younger cousin and she is really into making bracelets right now so I figure this would be super cute and fun and feel “fancy” to her. There wasn’t anything else in the category of this customization that was speaking to me either so even though it wasn’t a great or high value choice it kinda fit my needs. I am estimating it at $16 because that is what people were able to resell this at on eBay and Poshmark.

Skin Inc Cryo-Ice Sake Roller

Full Size Cost: $48

I like ice rollers they really help my sinuses so I was down to try a different fancy one.

Lumina NRG 3 in 1 Eye Lift

Full Size Cost: $159

Was I really going to pass on a $159 anti-aging tool. No I wasn’t. This warms up and vibrates to massage in eye cream and apparently reduce wrinkles. We’ll see but I was obviously choosing this it is the star of the box. The warm feels nice on the face either way and I will definitely get use out of the warm around my sinuses when I’m having headaches and sinus troubles if nothing else.

Summer & Rose Outdoor Roundie

Full Size Cost: $25

I don’t know why I wanted this round towel but I did. It is cute and it is big but those are about the only things going to it it is really thin and not soft so so it can’t be a blanket and it can’t be like a picnic ground cover. So its only hope is if it dries water well and sand brushes off easy but it is far to cold to test that right now. This has big potential to end up as a dog blanket.

Value: $372

Clearly the value is here. I just find this top be very practical of a box I get stuff for me I get stuff for gifts with out the hassle of picking it out and shopping and all that.
