You know how when the weather is dreary, it can sometimes seep into your mood?! Well, that was yesterday. It rained, then it stopped, then it rained and then it stopped. And when you walked outside you were hit smack in the face with the grossest humidity. Welcome to Florida in the summertime!
As I was heading upstairs to get back to work, I noticed a black box out of the corner of my eye. It was just sitting there on my shoe ottoman. (I use an ottoman with storage for my family’s shoes because otherwise they would be all over the place.) Anyway, how does my husband NOT tell me that the Summer 2015 FabFitFun box arrived? Needless to say, I grabbed it and ran upstairs like a little kid hiding candy from her parents.
I was SUPER impressed with this season’s goodies. Here is my haul and what I thought.
HEADSPACE 3-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION: This came at the perfect time. I just finished reading Thrive by Arianna Huffington (review to follow soon!), and one thing that she promotes in order to create a life of well-being, wisdom and wonder is MEDITATION. Headspace offers guided meditations but what’s cool is you can access them on your tablet, smartphone or computer. I signed up last night and completed my first session. So excited! (Retail: $38.85)
SCRATCH NAIL WRAPS: I’ve always wanted to try nail wraps and have come “this close” to ordering some from Jamberry. I can never pull the trigger and I don’t know why, actually. Now I don’t have to worry because I have a set to try out. The design is cute, although my little one thought the triangles would look weird. Love him. (Retail: $12)
FABFITFUN X COSMOBODY JUMP ROPE: I just learned that you can burn 150 calories by jumping rope for only 10 minutes! Now I have a cool jump rope (that I need to hide from the boys or I will NEVER find it again) and access to special workout videos made for the jump rope. Nice! (Retail: $14)
GORGE “I’LL MAKE YOU LOOK AMAZING” DAILY SPRAY: My friends and I use the word “gorge” sometimes in lieu of “gorgeous” so I giggled when I saw the name of this. Apparently it is a leave-in conditioner that says it repairs all damage – bring it on! (Retail: $24.95)
TARTE LIPSURGENCE LIP GLOSS: I am a Tarte fan, especially their mascara. This gloss plumps lips AND moisturizer. I tried it last night and liked the color as it was light, but it was a bit sticky.
WREN 14KT GOLD AND BLACK SAPPHIRE NECKLACE: This necklace is so sweet and delicate. I am totally going to layer with it. (Retail: $100)
EVERYDAY WIRELESS SPEAKER BY FABFITFUN: My husband manufactures these speakers so at first I was like, “Oh”. But then I thought, “This one is mine though…” I can always find a use for it! (Retail: $29.99)
INKLING SCENTS SULTRY ROLL-ON OIL PERFUME: Unfortunately it leaked a bit in the box so EVERYTHING smelled like it, but it was a beautiful scent so I didn’t mind much. It’s a mix of sandalwood, white amber, lotus flower, orchid, Bulgarian rose, and vanilla. (Retail: $25)
HELLO KONJAC CLEANSING SPONGE: Korean women have been using this sponge to clean and exfoliate – that alone tells me it is worth trying. Why? So many amazing beauty breakthroughs have come from Korea. (Retail: $12)
VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE SPRAY MOISTURIZER: I have seen countless commercials and print ads for this spray moisturizer but never felt the urge to buy it. I was missing out! This morning after my shower, I sprayed it and rubbed it in as directed. It wasn’t greasy and actually felt and smelled nice! (Retail: $7.99)
The grand total of the Summer 2015 FabFitFun box was $275.79. All I invested was $49.95. AND I loved everything! Thinking of trying FabFitFun out next season? You can sign up here, use the code PELLERINI, and get $10 off your first box! I especially recommend it if you are always looking for new and fun beauty, health and fashion products.

I am secretly jealous of that awesome jump rope. I’ve been trying to find a cute one just for me. Love this box.. Such a good box of goodies!
Dana says
Jessica, consider it yours! I’ll pack it in the gift box 🙂
Antonio says
This was great. Have to look into this box for my wife! 🙂
Dana says
Antonio, it’s a cool concept and has introduced me to a lot if fun, new products.
Chelsie says
Oh man, I’ve been meaning to get this box for SO long but something always comes up that I want more. I’m going to get the Fall box for sure now; they always seem to have such a great value and fun goodies!!
Dana says
Chelsie. I think this is my favorite beauty subscription box. It’s a bit pricier than the others, but always has the best products. If you use the link in my post, you’ll get $10 off!
Taylor says
That looks like a pretty decent box! I’ve never subscribed to FabFitFun [of all the boxes I DO review over on http://www.dearfriendsblog.com] but I think I would like to one day!
Dana says
I will definitely have to check out your blog for box reviews! I highly recommend this box…such cool products!
Earl-Leigh says
So much good stuff! I want that necklace. I need to get the next box!
Dana says
The necklace is really cool (and the fact that it retails for $100 and the box is only $49…LOVE IT!). I’d love to hear what you think of the box.
Iryna Bychkiv says
So cool! I’ve never ordered FabFitFun before. But seems like a nice monthly present.
Dana says
It’s a nice present to yourself. It comes every season, with season-themed items.
mandi says
love the dainty little necklace! so cute!
Dana says
What I love about this box is that it introduces me to new brands like the necklace’s brand, Wren!
Chandler says
Headspace is amazing! I have used it and absolutely loved it! I was always so centered, calm, and energized after a quick meditation. I still use some of the methods today even though I don’t use the app anymore. I also didn’t know this box existed so I am really excited to hear about it!
Dana says
I am so glad to hear such great accolades for Headspace! I can’t wait to get into it more!
samantha says
Will definitely have to look this up.. Looks like a great box
Dana says
Check it out when you get a chance Samantha! I think it has a little something for everyone 🙂
Dayne says
That jump rope is super cute!
Dana says
It is, right? It makes working out a bit more fun!
Jenna says
Wow! I’m jealous! These are all great products!
Sucks that $50 is still too much for me at this point.
Hoping to try some sort of subscription box someday!
Toni says
This is a great box, I have always wanted to try one.
Dana says
It’s a great one to try, Toni!
Amanda Marie says
WOW! No wonder you ran up the stair like a kid, this box is AWESOME! Loving the speaker and the jump rope! I was thinking about starting to jump rope again and with a cute one like that it will be fun! And that necklace from Wren is so adorable! I say you hit the jackpot on this box! Hope you enjoy!

Dana says
It’s a great one to try, Toni!
Trisha @ The Ham & Cheese Of It says
I loved some of the things in this box. I am always afraid to buy these boxes since I am not really all that into make up. I mean I wear make up, but I don’t LOVE it. I have my husband signed up for a monthly subscription box (loot crate) he loves it. Nerd box for the nerd boy. But, I personally haven’t found one that just says “yes, this is all so very me!” But this box looks like it could be a great fit for me. Thank you for sharing it!
Dana says
Trisha, I completely understand. I’m not a huge makeup person either. What’s nice about this box is that it’s a nice mix of makeup, fitness, and accessories.
Cailin at Sassy Dove says
I completely agree – I love what a great mix this box is! Mine came with the pink speaker and I can’t decide if I like yours or mine better 🙂 Cheers!

Dana says
Maybe we can swap speakers!
