FabFitFun VIP Summer 2014 Review


The Box: FabFitFun VIP
The Cost: $49.99/season
The Goods: Full size, premium beauty, fitness, fashion and wellness products guaranteed to be worth $125.  


Thursday Friday Diamonds Away Mini Clutch - Swim: ($35)  This is a bit bigger than your average Ipsy bag.  I'm not a fan of the design I got, so I'll try to either sell or swap this.


Popchips Potato Chips - Barbeque: ($.92)  I'll almost never complain about potato chips.  I ate these almost immediately after opening my box.  I like Popchips a lot but never think to buy them!


FFF Water Bottle: ($15) That's the value that FabFitFun has given to this bottle, but I'm a little doubtful of it.  The one from May's Popsugar was only $17 and was a MUCH nicer bottle.  This one says "Grab life by the exercise balls!" around the bottom of it and overall feels cheaply made.


Sonya Dakar Flash Facial: ($95)  I'm almost afraid to try this because I'm so worried I'll love it!  It gets great reviews but man, that price.


Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil: ($25)  I've never heard of this brand but I'm super excited to try it out.  Organic, cruelty-free, sustainable, and reasonably priced?  I'm in.


Kisstixx - Strawberry/Chocolate: ($5.99)  I tried the chocolate one and MAN is the flavor strong.  It doesn't taste like chocolate, really, but it lasts a long time.  Maybe too long - I couldn't get rid of it!


Zoya Nail Polish - Thandie: ($9) YES!  I have been in need of a good orange!  This is pretty much exactly the color I had in my head, and it's Zoya.  Zoya = <3.


Pur~lisse Pur~protect SPF 30: ($55)  I think I'm set now for the summer with everyday sunscreens.  Now I just need to find some higher SPF lotions that don't make me break out!


Skintimate Skin Therapy Lotionized: ($1.99 - Sponsored)  I don't use shave gel, but I'll give it to J.  (He's probably got enough shave creams and gels to last for a year or two...or five...at this point.)


Always Xtra Protection Long Daily Liners: ($1.20 - Sponsored) Meh.  Feminine hygiene products.  Yeah.  Meh.


Slimfast Have Your Cake... Protein Meal Bar - Vanilla: ($1 - Sponsored)  I nibbled on part of this just to try it out.  It's not horrible, but it's not the most delicious protein bar I've ever tasted.


Total Value: $240.91 (plus $4.19 in sponsored products)

You know what's weird?  When I go to the store, I tend to gravitate towards the most expensive items.  However, 9 times out of 10, the items I'm most excited about in a subscription box are some of the least expensive!  Don't get me wrong, I'll use the pricier products, but I'm stoked about the Zoya and the hair oil!
