My husband laughs when I get so excited that my FabFitFun box for the season as arrived. Sometimes I think men just don’t understand that sometimes the little things in life make us happy. (Although this season’s box was quite large!)
I had ordered some add-ons to this shipment – products that I had received previously and enjoyed them enough to replenish. One was the Juice Beauty eye cream and the other was the Manna lip gloss. OK – on to the box contents!
Marrakesh Hair Oil: I’ve already tried this oil and can’t believe how soft it makes my hair. I find myself petting my hair quite frequently lately LOL. (value $23)
Jus D’Amour Bath Bomb Trinity: I am a bath bomb-aholic. Ever since we were in the Grand Floridian in Orlando, Florida and walked into Basin White, I’ve never bathed without one! They come in so many scents and contain oils and moisturizers that are heavenly. Jus D’Amour’s bath bombs smell wonderful and I can’t wait to try them out! (value $28)
Kitchen Herb Garden DIY Kit: I have a black thumb. I’ve killed succulents, which I’ve been told is extremely hard to do. I am going to try super hard not to kill the thyme, basil and mint in this particular kit. My little guy said he’d help me maintain it. Wish us luck! (value $35)
ISH Beauty Contour Kit in Light/Medium: Contouring scares me but maybe this kit by ISH, a sister brand to FabFitFun, will open my eyes to what everyone raves about when it comes to shading and contouring. (value $32)
Jook and Nona Gold Plated Necklace: I’m a sucker for dainty necklaces and this one by Jook and Nona fits the bill. It’s a simple plate with “LOVE” engraved on it. I see myself getting good use out of it! (value $65)
HelloLegs: I’m a bit torn about this leg cream, but it boasts that it will give me the sexiest legs ever. Bring it on!
Merrithew Mat Strap Plus: Merrithew products seem to be a staple in a bunch of the past boxes I’ve received (Pilates DVD series and resistance band to name a couple). No complaints here though. What’s cool is that you can easily carry your mat to class with this and then use it for exercising. (value $15)
Bodipure Keratin Gloves and Socks: I liked the concept behind these one-time-use plastic socks and gloves filled with keratin lotion. I tried the socks today and thought they were OK. One thing I didn’t do was think about how I was going to get back to the bathroom safely after I wore the “socks” for 20 minutes. I didn’t want to get the cream all over my wood floor or fall on my butt (again). I have one recommendation for the company and that is to make the “socks” a little thicker. My toenails are not sharp, but when I moved the sock a smidge it ripped. Yuck. (value $10)
Sterling Forever $30 Gift Card: I’m ready to shop! I browsed the site a bit and they have every trend imaginable in earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces. Definitely worth a peek! (value $30)
I did save what I felt was the best, for last.
Thirty One Bits $25 Gift Card: Let me give you a little background on Thirty One Bits. Founded by 5 college grads who basically stumbled upon these super talented women their age while on a trip to Uganda, 31 Bits is not just a website that sells beautifully handcrafted jewelry. There is SO MUCH more to this company. They’ve implemented a five-year holistic development program where each woman receives health education, finance training, counseling, and business training. She belongs to a community where she can earn an income, be educated, and dream for her future. After five years in the program, the women graduate, leaving with an education, a career, social equity, confidence, and a voice. These 5 big-hearted entrepreneurial ladies now have 120 women in our program whose lives are changed. I got goosebumps when I read the story.
31 Bits was kind enough to gift me a bracelet to review and illustrate what one could purchase on their site. The bracelet I received, Brooklyn Nights, is so gorgeous. The multi-strand gold and cream in color bracelet (with a cool clasp) is neutral enough to go with just about anything but stands out because it’s different and eye-catching. It is extremely well made.
Check out their website to see for yourself what I’m talking about.
There you have it! My FabFitFun Spring 2016 box in all it’s glory! Over $265 in products (and cool ones at that) for only $49.99. Interested in trying it out? Click HERE and you may even be able to get the Spring box! If not, no worries – Summer is around the corner…
Which of the products I received do you like best and think you would purchase?
Mandi says
The keratin socks look so nice right now!
Dana says
My feet were SUPER soft Mandi!
Psychic Nest says
Hi Dana,
I tried to pick one but I just can’t! They are all wonderful and I want to try them for sure. The bracelet also looks fantastic. That was a really great choice to buy all those wonderful gifts for yourself!
Zaria
Dana says
Zaria, the FabFitFun box is very cool for sure! Thanks for stopping by!
Hollie || Little Goldfish Invitations & Stationery says
Dana I love that there is such a wide variety of products in the FabFitFun box, and such amazing value too.
I’m still up in the air about ordering any kind of subscription box, prices in Australia (for local boxes, might I add) just seem a little far-fetched for what you get in them, and I’m quite fussy. I want to see what they’re all about though because let’s face it, who doesn’t love opening a box of goodies mailed to them!?
Best of luck with the kitchen kit! I’m pretty sure my thumbs are brown/black too…but our succulents are still alive!
Dana says
I can order one here and ship it to you, right?! FabFitFun is a favorite for just the reason you mentioned – the variety! What are your secrets to keeping your succulents alive?!
Amanda Parker says
Such a cool box! I love the message behind 31 Bits. I would love to buy something from them and support the cause.
Dana says
That would be so awesome Amanda if you supported 31 Bits! To get a beautiful piece of jewelry in exchange for helping women in Uganda better themselves – you’d be doing a wonderful thing!
Ruthie says
Oh wow, I need to try those Keratin socks!! xo
Chelsie says
Wow! This box sounds like it really gives you a bang for your buck! I would love a little herb garden like the one you got!
Dana says
They actually sell them separately I believe (or you can get them at Home Depot or Whole Foods!)
tara pittman says
Lots of cool items. I love receiving boxes of goodies.
Amy Jones says
Love everything about that box! Look at the socks <3!hehe, im pretty sure you had a great time writing this post 😉 hahaha
Dana says
LOL those socks look so funny on 😉
Elizabeth O. says
Seriously, that’s a lot of things for a subscription box! It’s the complete package for taking care of your body! Looks like you’ll have a lot of fun trying all of these products out!
Dana says
Definitely having fun trying these products out, Elizabeth! I’m going to attempt the herb garden today, after the keratin gloves!
tina says
I’m ready for those socks, too. When the seasons change in the desert, my feet start to peel. I work on them every single day in the shower so they’re usually about 98% presentable, but I noticed last week that the nasty cracks were beginning their annual pilgrimage to my feet!
Dana says
Oh no! Definitely try out those socks Tina! Either that or at bedtime get some Vaseline, slather it all over your heels, put on a pair of socks and see the difference in your skin in the AM! Also I use a pumice stone when I am in the shower. It helps a lot with the cracking too!
Nicole Escat says
What an amazing and cool box! I would love to have one. I need to check that out.
Dana says
Nicole, it’s awesome and worth trying at least once!
marianne says
What a great way to be exposed to so many great products for such an affordable price.
Dana says
I agree Marianne! I haven’t heard of a lot of these brands so it’s especially great for new companies to bring about awareness!
Heather says
I would totally use those keratin gloves and socks. Talk about being pampered. I’d love that!
Dana says
I tried the socks out and they did make my feet super smooth. I think I’m going to check out the gloves today!
Kathy Kenny Ngo says
Even I would be excited if I get those goodies in a box in a month. Definitely worth the hype.
Dana says
So true Kathy! Thanks for stopping by!

Kelsie says
WOW! Who knew how much was in that little box…especially for such a small price. Thanks for letting us in on the secret. So many fun things!
Ana De- Jesus says
Considering how much you get in the box I think that 49 dollars is pretty good. I love argan oil too!
Courtney says
I’m always weary of subscription boxes because I feel like they are not quite worth it but the FFF box always seems to have an incredible value! I love the idea of that little kitchen herb garden!
La Belle Sirene
Dana says
Totally understandable to be weary because you technically don’t know what you’re getting. FFF has proven to be worth the investment though!
Emily says
I like the love necklace! I’ve been wanting to try out a FabFitFun subscription. Maybe one of these days!
Dana says
Emily check it out!! It’s worth a try – I’ve never been disappointed 🙂

Dana says
Valarie, it is definitely worth a try! My pleasure and thank you for stopping by!
Melisa says
I’ve never even heard of this box before now! It looks awesome. The contour kit was the item I find the most interesting. A good contour kit is a marvelous thing. I wish you would have taken a picture of the inside!
Dana says
Melisa, you know I totally should have taken a picture of the actual kit! I need to learn how to use it 😉
Shann says
wow! what a great box! I love the little herb garden, and that necklace. that Gift Card sounds amazing too!

I love it, Beth! It’s a quarterly box, and although it is $49.99, it is way worth what you get!
Michelle Blackwood says
I love the items in your package, but the one that stands out the most is the keratin socks because they would be perfect for softening my feet for summer sandals!

Everyone has been loving the keratin socks – and they are worth the coveting!
Deynece says
Everything looks so great!
Dana says
Thanks!

The FabFitFun box sounds really amazing, I never heard of it before! There’s so much stuff here at affordable price! I’d love to try all of these!
Dana says
Eugenia it was GREAT! I like that there are a lot of items in each box and they are not over the top expensive.
adriana says
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets so excited about these boxes haha! I love those trinity bath bombs, I saw Kim Zolciak got them too and I’ve been dying to try them, now I really want to! Everything looks amazing, I’m super jealous! I want to try FabFItFun so bad! $50 is a steal!!!
Dana says
Adriana, I think you would really like FFF! If you are a first timer I believe you can get a discount…check it out!
Liz Mays says
I just love that kitchen herb kit. That’s my favorite part of the box.
Dana says
I love that it is something I can create with my kids and then cook with!
Anosa says
When I first saw the name of this box I thought it was going to be like a workout box. This sounds like my kind of box! The socks look so funny but I bet I would love them, anything that makes my feet nice and smooth ready for summer
Mardene Carr says
What a superb haul you’ve got there. Huge fan of argan oil
Dana says
Argan and moroccan oil are my favorites too!
