FabFitFun was my first introduction to Subscription Boxes and may be what got me hooked. I love to receive packages in the mail and surprises make it even better. The box is guaranteed to contain at least $175 full-size, premium products in beauty, fitness, fashion, and Wellness finds. There is a wide range of items included, so for me, it's a lot of fun. . .not a bunch of the same. And, I try things that I might not have otherwise sampled. The cost is $49.99 per season, but there are discount codes available. And, subscribers can purchase extra boxes (usually $39.99) for gifts. I purchased an annual subscription last year for $179.99 and it automatically renewed (annual) at the same price for next year.
There are a few things about this box that make it a different from the rest and I really like that.
1. You can purchase an annual subscription to receive 4 seasonal boxes, or you can purchase individual boxes. When my subscription was up and it was time for renewal, I was renewed at the annual rate instead of reverting to the quarterly rate.
2. I like quarterly. Not too much $$ a year and I'm not filling up on too many products. You can also purchase extra boxes (until they sell out) without having an extra commitment. My communication with customer service has been good.
As usual, I got a little excited when shipment notification was sent and I stalked my mailbox. I always appreciate the notecard detailing each of the items.
Wren 14Kt Gold and Black Sapphire Necklace: There have been
a lot of delicate necklaces in boxes this spring and summer and I’m not
complaining. The boxes came with horseshoe, heart, or moon and I really love
the moon which would have been my first choice. The tiny little black sapphire
adds just a little extra touch. Retail $100
The Everyday Wireless Speaker by FabFitFun: This is probably
my favorite item in the box. It’s small, compact, charges with a USB, and pairs
to my phone. You can answer calls when it is playing. I was surprised by how
great the sound came through. The Musician was also impressed and he has a
better ear than I do. I also love the way it feels. I don’t have words to
describe it, but it feels “soft” instead of like a hard plastic. And it’s
nicely portable for anywhere you want to take it. Retail $29.99
Inkling Scents Sultry Roll-on Oil Perfume: I am a big fan of
roll-on perfumes because they are easy to toss in my handbag and go. I love the
delicate scent. Also included is a code for 15% off with over 20 other options.
Retail $25
Gorge “I’ll Make You Look Amazing” Daily Spray: Another
favorite in the box. I am skeptical about leave-in conditioners because I have
thick, course, curly hair. And a spray mist? Really? But, wow … I was
impressed. Just a little mist and I was easily able to comb through the tangles
and my hair was really shiny and controlled. I wear my hair up and back at
work, and even pulled back, I had people ask me what I had done differently
because my hair didn’t have loose wispies and it was shiny. Retail $24.95
Tarte LipSurgence Lip Gloss: Sure, who doesn’t love a little
more lip gloss. It has a nice hint of color and it gives moisture. I will add
it to the rotation. Retail $19
FabFitFun x CosmoBody Jump Rope: Always need something
fitness related in FabFitFun. And I love a good jump rope. I have wanted one
for a while to work on coordination, fast-twitch muscles, and stamina. It ranks
up there with a hula hoop for fun and return to my younger days. It’s amazing
how many calories you can burn while having fun. There are some jump rope workout videos at
fabfitfun.com/jumprope to help you find a routine that is more than just
jumping. It’s nice to have some variety. Retail $14
Scratch Nail Wraps: I think of these about like I think of
temporary tattoos. Fun occasional novelty, but not something that I am jumping
up and down over. Retail $12
Headspace 3-month Subscription: OK, I admit it, I haven’t
used it yet. But I love the idea of this app for guided meditations to just
slow down my spinning brain. Apparently it’s great for Type-A personalities
like me. OK … next week, really. Retail $38.85. And even better, no credit card
required, so you don’t have to remember to cancel in 3 months. 
Hello Konjac Cleansing Sponge: What an interesting concept.
This sponge is from Konjac potato plant, a perennial native to Asia and found
at high altitudes. I love a non-animal sponge.
It seems hard when dry, but soft when wet. Retail $12
Sponsored Item: Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Spray
Moisturizer: Who doesn’t want a light, non-greasy moisturizer? I fight dry skin
in summer after being in the sun and in winter cold. So … I’m pleased. Retail
$7.99
So, my verdict: This is one of my favorite FabFitFun boxes.
There were so many things in the box that I loved that it is hard to pick a
favorite. I have 2 favorites and some close runner-ups. And, for $45, I felt
the retail value of $275.79 (plus the sponsored item) was a great value.
