FabFitFun Fall 2020 Review
1 of 15 2 of 15 3 of 15 4 of 15 5 of 15 6 of 15 7 of 15 8 of 15 9 of 15 10 of 15 11 of 15 12 of 15 13 of 15 14 of 15 15 of 15 FabFitFun sends out a mini mag in each box. It details the items included and also provides background on some of the featured makers and designers. You’ll also find exclusive coupons for the brands featured in the box. Let’s see what is inside! (If you aren’t familiar, FabFitFun lets subscribers pick several of their items each season – I’ll show you what I picked for each selection.) First choice item:
1 of 7 2 of 7 3 of 7 4 of 7 5 of 7 6 of 7 7 of 7 Choice 1 – All members get the chance to customize these options in their box. My Pick:
1 of 4 2 of 4 3 of 4 4 of 4 Botkier New York Bond Tote – Retail Value $128.00 Height 11.5 in (29 cm) I am a sucker for a tote and this one looks downright classic. Admittedly, I would have preferred leather, but I actually already own a leather tote and I can’t argue with how easy this one is to spot clean if need be. Inside there is a large zipper pocket as well as two pouches for your tech or lipsticks. The straps are plenty long so I can toss them over my shoulder and go. Second choice item:
1 of 6 2 of 6 3 of 6 4 of 6 5 of 6 6 of 6 Choice 2 – All members get the chance to customize these options in their box. My Pick:
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 Volition Beauty Celery Green Cream, 1.7 fl oz – Retail Value $55.00 This was an easy pick for the skincare hoarder inside my brain. I have always found Volition formulas to be nice and soothing, and free of lots of things that cause me redness or irritation. This gel-cream formula is so soothing! It is packed with skin goodies like celery seed, green tea extract, and raspberry fruit extracts that are all super high in antioxidants. You will also find lactic acid (a gentle exfoliant), cucumber, and glycerine inside. This feels a little heavier than I expected, but I don’t mind. It is also nicely cooling, making it very appropriate for the summer sun. It has a light and clean scent and is free of alcohol and essential oils. Third choice item:
1 of 5 2 of 5 3 of 5 4 of 5 | Image from our Fall 2020 review. 5 of 5 Choice 3 – All members get the chance to customize these options in their box. My Pick:
1 of 4 2 of 4 3 of 4 4 of 4 JENNY BIRD Austin Cuff – Listed Value $135.00 Chains: 5 inches long. Whole piece: 8.5 inches long. I wear a lot of mixed metals and chains and I thought this might be a fun addition to my collection. This piece is pretty hefty! While that retail value feels a little high, I will say that it feels very well made. If I could change one thing, it would be just a touch of additional length. My wrists are about 6.5 inches and it fit fine enough, but I wish the chains had covered more of my wrist with less extender. Fourth choice item:
1 of 5 2 of 5 3 of 5 4 of 5 5 of 5 Only Annual Members get to customize these options in their box. Otherwise, FabFitFun will choose the best option for you. (Annual subscribers get to pick their item. Seasonal subscribers will be surprised.) My Pick:
1 of 5 2 of 5 3 of 5 4 of 5 5 of 5 Masontops® Glass Water Bottle with Neoprene in Turquoise – Listed Value $35.00 (Buy a pair here for $39.95) If you were to visit my office, you would see my larger desk is just a laptop surrounded by a collection of skin serums and water bottles. Seriously, half of my life is drinking water and rubbing goo onto my face. I am fine with it! This modified mason jar was an easy choice to add to my water bottle shrine. I liked the cheerful teal color and the fact that the main body of the bottle is glass. The lid makes a very satisfying sound when you open it too, and I found it to be utterly leak-proof. I love that there is a fabric sleeve to collect any outside sweat from my bev of choice, especially since everything is filled with ice this time of year. The listed value seemed a little high since you can snag two of these for just a little more, which is something I will probably find myself doing when my mom or Will end up swiping this one. Fifth choice item:
1 of 5 2 of 5 3 of 5 4 of 5 5 of 5 Only Annual Members get to customize these options in their box. Otherwise, FabFitFun will choose the best option for you. (Annual subscribers get to pick their item. Seasonal subscribers will be surprised.) My Pick:
1 of 5 2 of 5 3 of 5 4 of 5 5 of 5 8 Other Reasons Runway Clip Trio – Retail Value $32.00 This was a tough choice for me because normally I would be all over those portable utensils. Now that school is done though, I really only eat lunch at home. I decided that the clips were super cute, and I loved the colors enough to pick them! Even though the only time I really do my hair right now is for Zoom meetings, I feel like they are an easy way to add a little style to my look and they are certainly more polished than my massive default scrunchie. Now that we’ve gone through all the choice options, all subscribers will get 3 additional items that FabFitFun picks for them.
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 FabFitFun will surprise you with three items from this category. I received:
1 of 4 2 of 4 3 of 4 4 of 4 Spongellé Boxed Flower in Sweet ‘Cedarwood’ – Retail Value $16.00 Spongellé flowers are my go-to for trips. They save me from having to haul a wet bar soap or a big leaky bottle of shower gel. As luck has it, I have a nice week-long trip to Tennessee planned in the next few weeks, so in my bag this goes! This might be my fave scent yet from this brand! It is woody and sweet, and even a little sexy.
1 of 4 2 of 4 3 of 4 4 of 4 I received:
1 of 2 2 of 2 Stone Candles Room Spray in ‘Santal Noir’, 5 fl oz – Retail Value $36.00 (currently sold out) I really had my fingers crossed I would avoid the pumpkin spice room spray because I can’t stand pumpkin spice anything. Luck was on my side as I saw inside my box was the sandalwood version of the same spray. Yum! This scent is woody and musky, and totally something I would have in my house. I was a little disappointed because it isn’t that strong of a scent and when I spray a room spray I want to really notice. This is more of a hint of scent but I love it enough to use it either way.
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 ZiGi & MARAiS Pouch with Stripe – Retail Value $30.00 Our final item is a cute little pouch in the shape of sunglasses. Will is always losing his sunglasses case and while he would never reach for this one, I ended up giving my hard case to him to use this instead. The little rose gold stripe is very cute and I am always down for a tassel. Verdict: This box has a value of $214-$544+ depending on which items you receive. My box totals around $467. I was trying to think of an accurate way to frame this value, when I thought about a time recently in Sephora when I ALMOST bought that Volition Beauty Celery Green Cream. That cream is $55 and this box is $49.99 so it more than covers the box value-wise. Getting a cream that was on my to-buy list for less than its cost along with all these other items? That feels like a lot of value to me! Of course, this can vary heavily on your own shopping preferences and what you selected to go inside your box. But for me the value here is easy to see and even the things I might not end up keeping will make really great gifts which are going to be important to me in the next few months with family birthdays and the holidays closer than I can even fathom. I am very pleased with my FFF box this quarter. To Wrap Up: Can you still get this box if you sign up today? As of publication, yes!

Latest Fashion & Lifestyle Reviews
Seriously, these boxes have gotten out of hand. Quality has gone down, suggested retail price is a joke; most of these items are manufactured for the boxes and would never been seen in a retail environment — similar to how outlets at one time actually sold genuine products manufacturing overstocks and now are just filled with items made specifically for outlets at a lower cost and quality.
“Vegan” totes are what was called vinyl or PVC, the jewelry can be found at a dollar store, the “undiscovered” makeups brands are questionable at best.
Subscribers should add up how much money they’ve spent over the years, how much low quality junk they’ve filled their homes with and save their money to buy high quality items with value. Think people, think. Your homes are filled. You don’t need to spend this much money to make someone else rich.
Cancel my subscription. This box looked like a tag sale or things I could only regift and wouldn’t even do that . Never again
After years of looking, I finally subscribed to FFF for this box. I haven’t even received it yet, but just seeing what’s in my box, I canceled.
Disappointed in what I received completely. Nothing in it “wows” me, and I feel like my “high value” items are things I never would have bought, or would need.
Disappointment.
Extremely impressed with FFF. I have had many different types of subscriptions in the past, mostly less expensive. I decided to finally splurge on an annual membership (with a mystery bundle that I was impressed with. Then again, I got those items for FREE, so I wasn’t picky). I’ve been so, so excited to receive my box. Today it came, and I was so disappointed, infuriated even, that only one of my selections were sent to me. After chatting with a representative via chat on their site, they informed me they would be sending my missing selections IN ADDITION to what I had in my box! So impressed that they didn’t offer a measly refund or try to send me more items I didn’t need/want. Blown away!
Wow! I’m an annual subscriber and I was told I wasn’t eligible for the mystery bundle because that would be like having a double discount. I’m glad it worked out for you and you got a better deal.
This is my second box and I’m a little disappointed in the selection of the items. I absolutely hate pumpkin or seasonal smells/items and this box felt loaded with them. FFF did well with selections the first go round but missed the mark this time. I’m not sure if I will continue this subscription and that’s a bummer since I was considering a box opening on YT and recommending their boxes to tons of girlfriends and my sisters as a must have. If FFF can’t get this right there days will be numbered. The times we’re living in and the cost of the box has to make sense. Advice – improve or reduce the cost.
I have been am annual subscriber for 6 used and I haven’t recieved my box yet. It’s not a problem as I didn’t need anything for gifts but I wanted to let others know. I usually get mine in the first round of shipping but there is no tracking yet. I didn’t get any add ons.
Extremely disappointed in this box. All the FFF surprise selections were so cheap that I didn’t really want any of the options. I picked the basket thinking it would be able to hold blankets…nope! It could barely hold 3 rolls of toilet paper for size reference (thought I would get creative with my use for it by holding extra TP in our powder room. Nope, can’t do that either.) Overall, I hope FFF listens to all the disappointing reviews and puts together a better box next season.
Same! I didn’t want any of those items. I will give one more chance next season…if it is not good I will cancel.
Got my first box ever on Saturday. Items definitely seem cheaply made, and the retail value way over inflated. However I will use most of the items so still worth the price I paid (used a coupon since it was my first order).
I didn’t buy anything from the add-on sale. Nothing seemed like that great of a deal, and I hated the frantic game-playing of checking to see if people had dumped things from their cart.
I’ll wait to see what the Winter spoilers are, if nothing excites me I’ll likely cancel. Thankfully I didn’t sign up for an annual!
does anyone know what that lady on page 2 is wearing? I love that jacket/cardigan! is that from other brands or FFF too?
Just got my box yesterday. So very disappointed in the quality of most of the items…
1.the canisters- The bottoms bow out and won’t sit flat on the counter top! The lid is very difficult to open. I would feel bad even regifting these to someone I care about.
2. Botkier bag- looks and feels rather cheaply made
3. The 3 surprise items… FFF chose wrinkle release, pillow mist, and… milk? Not interested
About the only thing I did like are the items I got from the fall edit sale. Maybe I’ll learn my lesson one day about ordering these subscription boxes 🙂
I got the same surprise items as you and I was not thrilled either. I always seem to get the lowest value items or the items I don’t want. Oh well. Better luck next time I hope?
I got my 1st box today Fall 2020- hated it!!!!!canceled
I wonder if anyone will get the ZiGi & MARAiS Pouch? I’ve noticed In all other reviews I’ve read/watched no one else had the pouch.
On my FFF box reveal it says all 3 of the surprise items are valued at $23. I didn’t see any spoilers valued at this price
Mine shows the same thing for the surprise items. Maybe it’s just a default?
Ugh – second box in a row my 3 fabfitfun’s choice items were the cheapest options/products I didn’t want.
Random question… does anyone know what the glossmetics device actually is? I’ve been poking around online & can’t seem to find out. It looks like an epilator, which in my experience are NOT painless.
I chose it and it seems to be a trimming device. It also seems to be a ripoff of the Finishing Touch device (didn’t know about this when I chose it)… It does work but it doesn’t leave your skin baby smooth, and it takes a bit of work.
