FabFitFun Spring 2018 Box SPOILER #6 + $10 Coupon!

I LOVED the winter box and so I decided to do the annual subscription starting with this box. I don’t regret my decision, but I have to say, this box is not shaping up to be nearly as good for me as the winter box. The only thing in this box so far I’m excited about is the lip palette. I just remind myself that the palette is $40 and even though that’s highly overpriced that makes up most of the cost of the box right there. If you consider the candle and the clutch, both of which I’m definitely going to use, the cost of the box is more than made up for. So, while not super exciting like winter, it’s not the end of the world either. Still holding out hope for the remaining items. I can’t imagine the vinyl eye mask being comfortable, what if you want to sleep on your side, I’m pretty sure that will shift and be too heavy, not to mention sweaty. And the jewelry pieces were definitely NOT my style, but I can be adventurous enough in my style to wear the black earrings once in a while. I’m pretty new to subscription boxes so this is still pretty fun to me. Also, there’s always Poshmark/eBay, for unwanted items.

Anyone have and reviews or opinions for the Summer and Rose sunglasses in the add ons? I was eyeing a pair that look cute but wasn’t sure about the quality. I know most sunglasses are made in China and have relatively similar manufacturing processes, so even knock offs can be decent and all are overpriced, even name brands. If they are decent quality, I think $19 isn’t bad for average/good if the design is awesome. But if they are horrible quality, the no return policy is harsh.

I determine my style is too classic for this box. I’ve been a subscriber four years and just cancelled. I’m prepaid until autumn so I’ll get a few last boxes. I know I’ll get my money from this box with gifting or reselling the items. I’m most excited about the Korres and vaguely okay with the candle if it smells nice. The items are too trendy and the value is inflated. The clutch is cute but I don’t use clutches in my fairly boring life, the jewelry looks really cheap, the eye mask is okay.

I love this box, I’m a rare subscriber because I love this one more than the winter box. 🙂

I canceled no more boxes. I was do for renewal on the 20th but seeing the spoilers. I didnt like a thing in this box and I only wanted a couple add ons but wasnt worth it to me to stay and get that box and part for another year. I even lost 25 in credit I had but oh well Im done for now.

There is not one single item I have seen that I am excited about. I’m really bummed. I feel like the add ons have more appeal than what is actually in the box. You could get 7-10 random add ons thrown in a box and it would be better than what is in this box.

I agree this is looking just OK, nothing amazing. I am looking forward to the candle. I love nice candles. Not sure it justifies the cost of the whole box, but at least there’s nothing that’s going immediately to the donation bin.

Well, perhaps I’m unique. Since I subscribed (annual) I haven’t been excited about much of anything in the boxes. But later when we reflect back on the boxes (and Liz asks what subscription items we like/use the most) I realize I use so many of the items and I’m really getting my money’s worth. My first thought on the the eye mask – meh. . . but I remember thinking that of the socks in the winter box – and I wear them most nights!
On reflection, I am really pleased with FFF.

So far not impressed with the Spring box. And seriously, enough with the “Vegan Leather”! It is plastic, just say it is plastic. It’s a plastic clutch and a plastic eye mask. Not excited for the eye mask. That seems to have sweat written all over it. The clutch is okay.

With all these photo’s it very deceiving what we are getting.

I feel sad but I just cancelled. After watching the unboxing I just felt a bit underwhelmed. I don’t hate anything in the box unlike a lot of other people but it’s just not worth it to me.

I’m disappointed not to see some type of scarf yet. I hope the lack of one isn’t due to the few whiners complaining about them.

uggh no. This is awful. For 40 dollars, they could have partnered with GingerChi and they have a jade mask that is used for depuffing (as it is naturally cooling) and you can flip it upside down to use on your chin and jaw line. It is breathable too, as there are gaps – the stones are hand strung to make the mask. It isn’t meant to be worn over night, as it just sits on your face

instead a PLASTIC mask (let’s not mince words here, that is what it is, that is not breathable – my skin is going to sweat under that all night long. Sorry, major fail here. Besides, it is damn ugly too.

Why not get a nice silk mask instead?

This looks to me like a hodge podge of mystery box items. Strange “curation” at best.

The only thing that makes this eye mask great for me is the cooling insert. I get debilitating migraines and use ice packs around my face and eyes so this is nice. My only question is…what kind of insert is it? Is it a liquid, gel, or beads that can be frozen? Some liquids freeze too firm and you can’t conform them around your face and some don’t stay cool for very long. And…IMO, “vegan leather” is way over used. It’s just plastic.

I am not excited about any of the spoilers. The add ons are the best part so far.

Another cheap, overpriced, fake leather item. Grouped with the rest of the contents we have a hot mess that looks like a going-out-of-business clearance of a wholesale warehouse.

Call me crazy but I love my FabFitFun boxes I’ve received and I am loving this one as well! I got everything I wanted from the add on shop which was great 👍🏻 and this new spoiler is so exciting for me bc lately I work 3rd shift and desperately need one and this looks fantastic. I got the body butter, and the lip masks as well. Wasn’t into the tassel earrings tho. But the clutch looks cute and the candle so I’m very excited about this box , and I am never disappointed with them. I can see how others would be upset tho because usually they do have a hero item or something super amazing but I’ve had 2 boxes from them and this will be my 3rd 😍

Kinda sad I cancelled but I didn’t like any of the items. Maybe summer will be better.

There’s one HUGE thing which will help the lip palette be more useful.

A RETRACTABLE LIP BRUSH. Jane Iredale has a gold tone one, and several other companies known for great brushes will have one for purchase separately from another brush.

A ” lip brush” is just going to collect dust, debris, etc., but a retractable covered lip brush is a chic accessory and is very easy to use and keep clean in one’s purse in a makeup bag.

I don’t count the lip palette out at all, simply because it’s blendable, especially with a nice clean retractable lip brush. I’m thinking I’ll be able to come up with shades I can wear, as fair and cool as my tones are.
The same should be true for medium and warm tones, looking at the photo.

Where did my comment go? Other items are murad lotion, a massage roller,a dermalect ridge filler, and a Dove body polish.

Full review is on YouTube. The other items are a Murad lotion, a Physique 57 massage roller, a Dermalect ridge filler, and a Dove body polish.

It’s incredible how many of you have a clear case of subscription box burnout. I used to subscribed to 10-12 boxes at a time and 3 years in, I was so disappointed in EVERYTHING because I had already seen it all and already had 10 of everything in my closet.

Take a year or two off and actually use and enjoy/gift the mountain of subscription box items you have a hoard of in your house, then maybe re-sub to a couple boxes that seem worth it to you. I did, and this is my very first box in 2 years. I’m SUPER excited about it overall. It’s clearly more than worth the $45, and as always, whatever I don’t personally like I can gift.

Best thing I ever did for myself was cure myself of sub box burnout. You all should consider the same because the complaining over every little thing is genuinely concerning and kind of off-putting to read when most of the stuff in this box is pretty cute if not for yourself, then as gifts.

So happy I cancelled…no FOMO here. There is nothing in the spoilers (or even the add-ons) that appeals to me – a cheap plastic purse I can get anywhere, tacky necklace and earrings, vegan leather eye mask (say what?!) – to be honest, I’ve really enjoyed my past FFF boxes but I guess I just felt overwhelmed with so much STUFF. And yeah, I think it’s gone downhill, anyway.

OOohhh that cooling insert is going to be great for headaches, sinus pain and puffy eyes. I’m still in the minority but I think this looks like a really good box. I’m excited to receive it and actually put another in my add-on cart. We’ll see if it ultimately makes the cut…
