FabFitFun Spring 2019 Subscription Box Review, What Have I Actually Used?

 I first have to mention that I've CANCELED my subscription to FabFitFun, so this is my last review.  This was my last box subscription, I don't even think I'll resubscribe to ZenPop, so this just might be my last subscription box review altogether.

That said, I did love getting FabFitFun.  Subscription boxes have changed a lot in the last several years, and FabFitFun honestly got better.  I like how you can choose items.  They have quality full size products.  Each box is $50, but with an annual subscription of $180 each box is $45, a really good value.

I'm just cutting back and refocusing.

(I do have more trips planned, I just won't be buying so many souvenirs.)

But I thought it would be nice to do this last review, a month after I got this box, and talk about what I've actually tried and used on a regular bases (well, still use), verses what I haven't really touched.  So this blog is a good indicator of personal value.

The little magazine that comes with the box.

All quotations are from this.

Everyone got these three items.

 Manna Kadar Champagne Body Scrub, $24.

USED.

"Formulated with charcoal and Dead Sea minerals, the luxe and gentle body scrub removes dirt for polished, hydrated, and refreshed skin."

 This is a really nice body scrub with a soft texture and smell.  Honestly, it's just fun scooping it up and lathering on.  This body scrub has little bubbles, and the texture isn't rough or tough, which scrubs can be at time.  At this point I've used about half.

 Dr. Brandt Skincare Needles No More No More Baggage Eye De-Pussing Gel, $42.

HAVEN'T USED

"Visibly reduce the look of under-eye bags and dark circles with this breakthrough solution."

There's really no need for me to use it, so I gave it to my Mom.

No idea if she's used it.

 OUAI Leave In Conditioner, $26.

USED, and love.

"We're OUAI obsessed with this multitasking leave-in conditioner.  It works all day to smooth, soften, and detangle hair with moisturizing properties and enhanced heat protection."

There's something so nice about soft hair that smells good, and this leave in conditioner does the job.  The scent is strong, flowery, and from what I've read online is a required taste, but I love it.  My Mom tried this and loved it so much she went to Sephora to buy one herself.  This conditioner is worth half the price of the box.

 Choice item: Robe, backpack, or diffuser.

Show Me Your Mumu Brie Robe, $84. (Seems like a high price point).

TRIED ON, Hanging in closet.

"Just stepped out of the shower? Planning a day of lounging? Slip into this beautiful floral-print robe, which features a removable belt and a high-low hem."

This is one of those one-size fits all.  At a size 16 this robe does close, and looks cute, but would be more comfortable if a little loser.  (I'm working on losing weight, so maybe I'm just holding out for that point).  I choose this item because I thought it would be nice over a bathing suit.

Choice item: Sunglasses, picnic set, or sleeping brightening cream.

KORRES Wild Rose Vitamin C Brightening Sleeping Facial, $48.

TRIED TWICE.

"Hydrate and brighten your skin!  This weightless souffle contains vitamin C, turmeric extract, and hyaluronic acid."

I'm having a hard time with the smell.  It doesn't really smell like roses, but the two times I've tried it I did like the result.

Choice item: Measuring spoons, lotion, or mystery item.

Lavido Aromatic Body Lotion in "Mandarin, Orange & Bergamot," $19.

USED, and love.

"Hydrate, nourish, and protect.  This deliciously scented citrus body lotion is dermatologically tested and formulated for all skin types."

This smells so good, and the texture is nice!  Love it!

Choice item: Necklace, setting powder, or steel bottle.

S'ip By S'well, $19.99

SITTING IN CABINET.

"Sip in style while reducing single use plastic consumption.  Whether filled with a hot or cold drink, the stainless steel water bottle is insulated to keep your drinks at just the right temperature."

Colors and patterns were random, so it was a little disappointing receiving black, as I hoped for a cute color or pattern.  As of late I use glass water bottles, as they can go into a dishwasher.  This is sitting in a cabinet simply because I haven't cleaned it.  The hot/cold feature is nice, though room temperature water is better for the digestion.

Choice items: Face cleanser, detox brush, or jump rope.

TULA Purifying Face Cleanser, $28.

"This isn't an ordinary cleanser; it uses the power of probiotics to gently remove dirt, impurities, and makeup while leaving the skin balanced and clarified."

 USED.

So, I opted for the cleanser.  I got that detox brush as an add on once, still haven't used, and I don't have a proper place to jump rope.  The cleanser is nice.  The smell is light.  Just a good ol' practical item. 

* * * * * *

So . . . I'm using half the box.  In that way the value is there.  The other half will probably get used at some point.  This was a good box.  Reviewing this makes me sad to give up the subscription, but all good things must come to an end.
