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.

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.

ban.do Game On Waterproof Playing Cards

Full Size Cost: $14.95

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.

Arrae Bloat Supplements

Full Size Cost: $55

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.

Spectrum 3 Piece Make-up Brush Set

Full Size Cost: $25

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.

Vacation By Vacation EDT

Full Size Cost: $60

I love the scent of the sunscreen so I thought it would be fun to try the perfume. It smells like summer and pool and it makes me so happy.

Amika Mirrorball Shampoo

Full Size Cost: $26

Amika Mirrorball Conditoner

Full Size Cost: $26

I got these sole because I am running out of shampoo and conditioner and its expensive so this saves me having to buy some for awhile.

Amika Smooth Over Frizz-Fighting Treatment

Full Size Cost: $32

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.

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

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.

Well this came super early. I have no idea why some of these pictures are so blurry they weren’t when I took them.

Silk Sleeping Mask

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $9.99

This Amazon mask is almost identical to the Macy’s one. I can’t use these and I feel like we have gotten this more than once in these boxes.

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Perfume

Full Size: 80 ml

Full Size Cost: $148

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $2.78

I gave this to my mom and she happily used it because she really likes this perfume. I find it too strong for my tastes.

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Gel Cream

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $59

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $6.88

So I kinda forgot they made this. I don’t like the the confidence in a cream but I love the retinol cream so much. I will give this a go to see how I feel about this iteration of the cream.

Kopari Golden Aura Body Oil

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $7.80

I love trying out new body oils. I don’t how I’m going to feel about the gold flakes in this one but Kopari stuff is usually pretty nice and fun to try.

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask

Full Size: 10

Full Size Cost: $145

Sample Size:

Value: $14.50

I don’t feel like these masks or anything from this brand do anything to justify the cost of them like seriously save your money. I’m going on a trip and thinking of just taking it with me because “luxury” but like really don’t waste money on these.

Strivectin SD Advanced Plus Intensive Moisturizer

Full Size: 59

Full Size Cost: $82

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $13.90

I have used this before it is nothing special for the price but if you need a nonactive rich moisturizer it is good but you can get that for cheaper.

Lancome Absolue Soft Cream

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $165

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $27.50

I don’t like the scent of this cream so I will pass it on. It smells like older cosmetics from yester year lol.

Bumble and Bumble bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Mask

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $47

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $7.05

This is a pretty heavy mask. I don’t remember if I liked it or not so I feel compelled to try it again.

Less items than last month but the value is better.

Heavy skincare box this month. Mostly made up of things I unfortunately have tried and not really enjoyed.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $114

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $22.80

I don’t think this serum really does anything but I know it is well loved.

Perricone MD Firming and Brightening Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $75

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $25

I have used this eye cream for a while one time and I didn’t find it to firm or brighten and it is expensive compared to eye creams I really do like and find effective. Perricone kinda never seems to work that well for me.

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser

Full Size: 142 g

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 28.3 g

Value: $4.78

This is a creamy kinda cleanser not really my favorite it is gentle but that isn’t something I am usually looking for so this just isn’t the face wash for me but if you have really sensitive or dry or irritated skin this is probably perfect for you.

Foldable Tote Bag

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $2.88

This is really nice. Its pretty big feels pretty sturdy and it folds up very useful.

Origins Checks and Balances Milky Oil Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $3.10

I love trying new oil makeup removers so I am super excited for this. I don’t like the original foamy check and balances wash but I have high hopes for this.

Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $10.83

I absolutely love niacinamide serums and I love Sunday Riley so this is great for me to get.
