Reviewing FabFitFun: The Spring 2018 Box Reveal

It’s FabFitFun unboxing time! The FabFitFun quarterly box is the only subscription I still keep and for good reason… it’s always pretty fabulous!

Before we get into the goodies, here is a quick overview of FabFitFun:

The Spring box is really great, so I couldn’t wait to share it with you:

Here’s what’s inside:

Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion, retail $40
This ultra-light, oil-free moisturizer is supposed to minimize the appearance of pores, refine texture and sooth redness and irritation. My current face moisturizer has a SPF in it, so I may use this one for evening since it has no sun protection. I always see Murad products at Nordstrom Rack, so I’m happy to try the brand out in this quarter’s FabFitFun box.

Maya Brenner Designs LOVE Bracelet, retail $65

For the jewelry choice item, annual subscribers were able to choose between tassel earrings and this bracelet (you can see the earrings over in my friend Jenna’s post at Outrageously Wonderful). I picked this bracelet in rose gold and really like the simple design. Unfortunately, my bracelet was broken when I unwrapped it. However, I did a quick chat with their online customer service and a new one will be on its way to my house ASAP.

KORRES Guava Body Butter, retail $24
This was another choice item – for beauty choice, we were able to pick between this body butter or a lip mask. I’m a lotion lover, so I went for the body butter. It is enriched with shea butter and quince extract to soften, moisturize and rejuvenate the skin while sunflower, almond and avocado oils work to nourish and improve elasticity and smoothness. It has a very light scent and soaks in pretty quickly. I used it yesterday afternoon after my shower and my skin is still super soft, so this one is a winner.

Dermelect Cosmeccuticals Makeover Concealing Ridge Filler, retail $18

I love how FabFitFun sends me items I didn’t even know I needed. This ridge filler keeps your nails healthy, smooth and glossy. It conceals nail imperfections with a natural pink hue while treating them with protein, vitamins and moisture. I basically never bother to paint my fingernails and I admit that my hands look pretty terrible on a daily basis. I applied two coats of this and it dried really quick. I painted this on my nails on Friday and after 4 days it still looks perfect. It actually makes my nails look like pretty girl nails! LOVE this!

ISH Lip Statement Palette, retail $42

I am not really a lipstick person, instead I’m addicted to my chapstick year round. This palette has 11 intensely pigmented shades and one balm. It is enriched with rose extract, shea butter, jojoba oil, olive oil, and aloe vera and you can mix and match for endless color combinations. While I’m tempted to throw this into my ‘trade’ pile, I actually think this will be kind of fun to experiment with. So, I’m going to keep this and try the different colors mixed with a little chapstick to mute them down for me.

Rachel Pally Reversible Clutch in Zahara, retail $60

I LOVE this clutch. I literally do not own ANY clutches in my life and so this one is pretty awesome to add to my nonexistent clutch collection. There were three color choices, but I picked this pretty orange version because it’s SO ME. It’s also reversible, so if I want more flowers I can just pop it the other way.

I will totally use this all summer long and it will be great for the beach to keep my wallet and phone in, so they don’t disappear into the bottom of my beach bag. I love this so much, I may trade for a second one in a different color!

Physique 57 Massage Roller, retail $20

YES. Thank YOU FabFitFun, this is exactly what I need but didn’t think to buy one for myself. I’m about to start my running season again when the weather warms up and this will be perfect for massaging out those knots that form in my legs and back.

Free People x Understated Leather Starry Eyed Travel Eye Mask, retail $40

This vegan leather eye mask features a removable, non-toxic cooling insert to keep you feeling and looking refreshed. Out of all the items, this is the only one that is not a real winner for me. I like the idea that it’s cooling, but it’s so incredibly bulky that I can’t imagine sleeping comfortably with this on my face! This one might hit the trade pile.

ANDERSON LILLEY Sunset Collection Candle in Manhattan Beach, retail $45
This candle is made with a hand poured coconut wax blend, and a cotton, lead-free wick. It is housed in a pretty copper colored vessel that you can reuse when you’re done with the candle. Unfortunately, when I unwrapped my candle the copper metal holder was all scratched and banged up. Luckily, I did this before I contacted customer service about the bracelet… because I just took a couple photos and added it to my chat. They will be sending me a new one soon!

Freebie Fun: $50 Hello Fresh Gift Card and Dove Exfoliating Body Polish
Whenever FabFitFun throws in sponsored items, they aren’t counted towards the value of the box. I really love Hello Fresh (we’ve been using them for years and I’ve blogged about them here and here),so I really wish this gift card was for existing customers.

As for the Dove Exfoliating Body Polish, I tried it in my shower over the weekend and I was blown away by how much I like it! I received the Crushed Macadamia nut and Rice Milk version and it smells so good. My upper arms and legs have been dry lately, so I was really excited that one use of this and I’m as smooth as a baby’s bottom. It’s not too scratchy and not too oily… it’s just right. The sample is pretty generous, so I’ll get a few uses out of it. I immediately added the product to my Target list so I can pick up a full sized tub of it! The Target price is $5.89, so it’s kind of a steal! (Find it here)

Overall Thoughts
This box was really fantastic, even if I did have a few issues that need to be fixed by FabFitFun’s customer service department. I’m most excited about the clutch, nail ridge filler, massage roller and LOVE bracelet. I am also loving the Dove freebie that they included! The only thing that I don’t really like is that bulky eye mask, even if it is pretty darn cute. The total value of everything in my Spring FabFitFun box is $354!
