My first FabFitFun Subscription Box!

So I am a bit of a sample-addict and have been eyeing a few subscription boxes. They seem relatively inexpensive, but can quickly add up if you order a few. I like to hand pick my samples, so I didn't want to get too carried away with subscription boxes....I have been watching a few boxes and decided that I wanted to try the FabFitFun VIP quarterly subscription.



The FabFitFun VIP box comes four times a year, but you can pay each box at a time or the whole year at once. I liked this model because it gave me flexibility and I didn't have to worry about canceling or skipping my subscription. The boxes are $50 each and you can save $20 on an annual subscription. Giuliana Rancic and the FabFitFun team handpick over $100 of samples and full size items for your box that represents a FabFitFun lifestyle.

I liked this box because it consistently carried products I liked and used. The box has a decent amount of full size products, vice small samples of some boxes. I also liked the fact that they show 2-3 spoilers...which helps me decide if I want to order the box.



I was very impressed with the packaging. Instead of just throwing everything in the box, it was all neatly arranged and wrapped up in tissue. They also provide a nice card that explains each item and provides the retail value. Some of the items even have coupon codes for future purchases!


The Kai Perfume Oil was the first spoiler they released. We received a full size and it was valued at $48! The perfume was already slightly more than the value of the box! I read a quite a few reviews about this perfume, and it seemed to receive great reviews. I ended up loving it, so the box was already worth the price!


The next item I received was the Cult Gaia Turband with a retail value of $48. This was the second spoiler of the box, and there were a few variations. I saw a pretty floral one, some polka dot ones, and a cherry print. I was kind hoping for a floral or a polka dot variation, but I actually really like my cherry one now that I have it. I already have a few CRBs and tops I want to wear it with. The white part is actually a cream...that is probably my only "complaint." I would have rather had a white background.....BUT.....it is super cute. There is wire in the headband, so you can wear it many ways. A second win!


There was also a full size Primer included in my box. I received the Cover FX SPF 30 Protected Primer, retail value $38. I usually like my Hourglass Mineral Primer, but I was happy to get another version with a higher SPF. I will probably get lot of use out of this during golf season. Dark hands and face....farmers tan. I have more of use of facial sunscreen than body sunscreen!


I was really happy to received full size bottle of Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo, retail $25. There have been a few reader comments asking what kind of dry shampoo I use. This has been one of my favorites and I actually have been needing some lately. Another win for me! So far this box has been great.


There was also a Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Mitt, retail $19.99. I don't think I would have paid $19.99 for an exfoliating mitt, but I definitely need one. I have had a lot of dry patches on my skin that need attention.


 The mini stability ball was probably my least exciting item. I received a Merrithew Mini Stability Ball and ZENGA DVD workout, retail $28.94. I prefer the gym or fitness classes, vice workout DVDs. I bought some yoga DVDs and never used them. I think the only workout videos I ever used consistently was Insanity. If I never get around to using this, it will make a nice gift to my sister or friend.


Also received Level Naturals Shower Bombs, retail $7.99. My husband and I love bath bombs and shower bombs, so there were no complaints here. I'm looking forward to giving these a try!


The last item was The Better Chip Spinach and Kale with Sea Salt, retail $1.99. I'm not a big Kale chip person, but I'm sure my husband will happily take these off my hands. I'm not that disappointed with this one since it was a very low valued item.


Overall, I am extremely impressed! I ended up liking almost all of my products with the exception of the mini stability ball and the Kale chips. I received $217.91 worth of products for $49.99....definitely a great deal! I was also impressed that all of my items were full size.

I will keep an eye out for the summer box, and order the next one if I like the spoilers!


By the way....I love my Cult Gaia Turband! So many cute ways to wear it! I'm planning on wearing it for trapeze next week!
