fabfitfun is a quarterly monthly subscription box that includes hand-selected items (the “hottest of the season”) in beauty, fashion, fitness and wellness from the fabfitfun team. fabfitfun is $49.99/quarter and beginning with their Summer 2014 box, they ship to Canada!

fabfitfun ships via FedEx Smart Post and took under a week to arrive.  I was actually surprised by how quickly it arrived to me – with the holiday and all.  Boxes were supposed to ship the week of June 22nd, which I thought meant ALL boxes would ship that week, but they started with annual subscribers first and then quarterly subscribers boxes were shipped after that. I think my box ended up shipping on the 29th?

It’s been so long since we originally had gotten the spoilers on this box that I almost forgot what was all in it!  It was packed full and looked like a good box to me.

The Summer 2015 fabfitfun box included the following items:

~Wren 14K Gold and Black Sapphire Necklace ($100): I think this is cute and I am happy with it, however, I would never pay $100 for a gold-dipped necklace.  At least I don’t think I would?  Anyway, I love the Rose Gold Heart and didn’t realize it had a Black Sapphire in it until it arrived so that was a fun surprise. And I like that this piece is simple and delicate and can be worn in any setting (unlike the bullet necklace which I know a lot of people were not about to wear in a professional setting).

~The Everyday Wireless Speaker by FabFitFun ($29.99): I am really excited about this one.  I love having Pandora on when we are out playing in the backyard and my phone speaker just doesn’t cut it.  B has a bigger one that sounds great, but it’s kind of a pain to lug around.  This is much better.  Sure the sound isn’t as good, but it’s just fine for my purposes.

~Inkling Scents Sultry Roll-On Oil Perfume ($25): Getting perfume in a subscription box is generally pretty iffy, but I really like this.  It’s described as a blend of “creamy sandalwood, white amber, lotus flower, orchid, Bulgarian rose and silky vanilla” and is gorgeous.  I would prefer a spray over a roll-on, but I am just happy I like this scent so much.

~Gorge “I’ll Make You Look Amazing” Daily Spray ($24.95): My hair is looking pretty healthy these days, but this spray is a leave-in conditioner designed to restore moisture and repair all types of damage. I have been letting my hair air dry which I think helps a ton, but when I break out the hair dryer again I will break this out too.

~tarte LipSurgence Lip Gloss (Natural Beauty) ($19): I believe there were a variety of shades sent out, but I love the one I got.  It’s called “Natural Beauty” and is a sheer shimmering red. Totally love.

~FabFitFun x CosmoBody Jump Rope ($14): I would love to pretend that I am going to use this in the basement to get my fitness on, but I am not.  In reality L will probably use it to tie a wagon to the back of his bike or something?

~Scratch Nail Wraps ($12): Meh. I like nail wraps, but I am not too crazy on the designs on this one.  Actually the triangle designed ones are fine. It’s the single red triangle on the top of the plain ones that I am not crazy about.  I suppose I could just not apply that part, but then my nails would be just pale pink and then what’s the point of using nail wraps?

~Headspace 3-Month Subscription ($38.85): Headspace is a app that takes you through a series of life-changing guided meditations.  I really can’t see myself using this, but I probably should?

~Hello Konjac Cleansing Sponge ($12): I have gotten a few Konjac sponges lately, but I don’t mind another. Maybe I will give this one to B to see what he thinks?  I am a big fan of them and have been using them on my face instead of my Clarisonic.

~Sponsored: Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer with Aloe by Vaseline ($6.49): I have tried this in the past, but I didn’t love it.  It just didn’t spray out in the steady steam I hoped for I guess?  I will give it another chance though and who knows, maybe I will love this scent more than the last.

All totaled I came up with a value of $282.28 for the Summer 2015 fabfitfun box.  It wasn’t my favorite box from them, but it was a totally solid box.  My three favorite items – the speaker, the perfume and the lip gloss totaled well over the cost of the box and I would have happily paid full-price for those, so basically everything else was just a bonus for me!
