FabFitFun VIP Box Review – Winter 2013

Lorna Jane ROCKS, I prefer it over Lulu Lemon, but they are comparable.

The Icelandic Eye Relief cream is awesome, but can be kind of intense. I made the mistake a couple days ago of putting it on post-moisturizer and I literally burned the skin from under my eyes off. It’s still crusting off like 3 days later. But it feels really smooth underneath that so…whatever.

*Disclaimer calling myself “Anonymous” because of something I mention below regarding Paulette’s story (for my own protection).

Poor you, Liz (or maybe you don’t mind the earphone colours–I love yellow and orange but didn’t want that for my earphones because I was so enticed by the spoiler colours). I am NOW SO ELATED that I received the blue ones!! I assumed everyone would receive those!! YAY!! I probably would have been happy with the others (my phone case is yellow leather that I had specifically made and well those would have worked nicely–although I haven’t been using the case anyway).

I love the inspirational necklace story, Paulette… (I’ll be thinking of you and sending positive vibes!!!) I had my own BAD time but it ended up being a “blessing in disguise” (I am out of a field that is sinking fast and had enough STRENGTH–that’s what my necklace says–to sue said employer for discrimination–and now I’m 42 and retired (for more than just that, but still)!! I had a card a lovely friend who was also a colleague (who, younger than me, recently died from cancer, but at this bad time of mine she wrote me the most uplifting and inspiring card and that was my “necklace” before–I’d pull it out during depositions when I needed strength to deal with the scum I was suing). Also glad mine is silver toned!! (sorry, Kathy, but maybe it’s a sign that there is someone out there who wears gold or could just plain use the inspiration more than you now?).

I’m guessing the NYX palettes are different? Mine is brown (09 Belinni Kiss). I was bummed at first but the thought, hey, wait this would be great for travel because that long dark-brown could be used for my eyebrows when traveling. I have SO MANY brown palettes so maybe I may even randomly make someone’s day by gifiting this. Oh look at the adorable bow where you open the case!! Liz you got some unique colours!!

Liz, you ROCK doing the hard work for us. I was not pleased with “me undies” stock in the past but I didn’t think socks AND knowing I won’t have to pay a dime even for shipping makes me JAZZED!! Thank you for sharing that with us!! I also agree with the bracelet. I mean you don’t NEED to wear it when working out but it is “intense!!” I’m sure I know someone younger who would love it!!

Thanks all for sharing your comments!! I guess I’m in a thankful mood today…. Paulette you’ve made me thankful and full of inspiration (this time yesterday I was the complete opposite!!) Liz, this site gives so much more than feedback/information about subscription boxes 🙂 I bet you hear thoughts of appreciation all the time, but I think it’s time you hear how helpful and MAGNIFICENT you are!!

I like to use a DMI cable and plug my computer into my TV. Then I can see the workout video through the whole workout (and it doesn’t feel weird)!

This is my favorite box ever only because of the necklace. I didn’t really know about the story of it from the spoiler, just thought it was a necklace with a key. I got my box an hour before I went to surgery for melanoma skin cancer. I wore the necklace and have been telling everyone about it. Mine is silver which is my preferred. It says “courage”. Courage or strength would be my 2 choices. I have had so much happen within the last month, life is a complete challenge.

I meant to cancel this box after I was laid off last month and had no money. It slipped through the cracks and I am so happy it did. I need this necklace right now but will be so happy to pass it on to someone else in the future.

So much happier with this box than the last one. Would not include the workout classes in the value, but even without that it’s a winner for me. And PS, my necklace looks exactly like yours except gold-tone (I would have preferred silver).

Lorna Jane is an Australian brand of work out clothing that is CRAZY over priced! I bought a couple things when I went to visit because I had vacation brain and the quality is decent, I just wouldn’t go for anything with mesh on it. I bought a pair of capris with mesh stripes and within a week the mesh was pulling apart and the rough pads of my dogs feet gave it a beating. Which was sad because it all looks great and is very flattering. Anyway just my 2 cents! 🙂
