FabFitFun switched from an info sheet to a mini mag with this box and I love it!
The magazine includes background info on the brands included in the box, and some tips too!
I love that illustration too!
Tappan Collective Umbrella - Value $32
This umbrella is an exclusive collaboration made with Tappan Collective artist Ashkahn Shahparnia. Subscribers will get one of a variety of colors:
(If you pay for a year upfront of FabFitFun, you get to pick out the variation you receive on certain items every box).
I like this color and the print, and I can always use an extra quality umbrella. Plus I love getting exclusive designs in subscription boxes. (I'm still waiting for that day when I see some stranger in public with an item I know is from a subscription box. Then I'll approach them like a weirdo! "Do you love subscription boxes too?!")
HISY Battery Pack - Value $24.99
Subscribers will receive one of three colors for this charger - the pale green shown, pink or blue:
I don't think I would have cared which color I received, but I think this one is my favorite out of the options.
Here it is next to an iPhone 6+ to give a better sense of scale:
It's not too heavy, so it will be good purse item.
Glass Crystal Bead Bracelet by Tribe Alive -$49 Retail Value
The beads in this bracelet are made with hand-cut glass crystals. The info magazine doesn't list the chain material, but it looks like the bracelets are very similar to these necklaces, which are made with 14k gold filled chain.
This bracelet comes in four different varieties for subscribers:
I'm going to try to swap for all of the other colors - I think they would look beautiful together and these bracelets are delicate enough to stack without adding much bulk on your arm at all.
Here is the bracelet on:
It closes with a clasp, so you can adjust it to get the fit you want, and I hope it will fit most subscribers.
Also, Tribe Alive is an awesome company, and I'm happy to see them in the box:
Tribe Alive utilizes a passion for fashion and responsible commerce as a platform to help alleviate poverty among women. We work with artisan partners all over the world to employ impoverished women at fair trade wages and give them access to a safe job, sustainable income and a chance to determine their own future. We strive to create positive change in the lives of women by providing market place access through the fair production and sale of our beautiful and unique pieces. We believe that every purchase should be made with a purpose, and that there is nothing more stylish than giving back. Hope is our message. Fashion is our medium.
Manna Kadar Lip Locked Lucky Lip Stain - Value $24
(Good to know for swaps - both ends of package are sealed with clear sticker)
This lip product is designed to be a primer, stain, and gloss in one. The shade is somewhat close to my lip color, so I'm having a hard time determining just how much stain/pigment it adds. The shine is perfect though - not too glossy, and not sticky at all.
Here it is swatched below:
One minor thing to add - the packaging of this LipLocked is different than the one on the Manna Kadar site - (4 ml vs 5 ml). Not sure if this lip stain packaging was created just for this FabFitFun box?
Doctor D Schwab Flawless Skin Fluid - Value $39
(Good to know for swaps - foil seal under cap).
This skin fluid is basically a lightweight moisturizer with a luminous finish - I love it! And it's all natural. I think this may be my favorite discovery in the box. I just tried it out, so we'll see how long the luminous part lasts, but I think I'll be buying more of this in the future. (Plus I love that this is a great item whether or not you wear makeup!)
Gold Radiance Luxury Facial Mask - 2 Pack Value $65
(Good to know for swaps - both ends of package are sealed with clear sticker)
I've wanted to try this mask ever since I saw Kim's instagram picture! (I have a slight obsession with all things gold, so we'll see if these live up to the hype in my head!).
Merrithew Strength Tubing Ankle & Tone Body Tone + DVD - Value $33
I'm so excited to try this DVD! I just tried the video clip on the Merrithew site and I have a feeling it is going to be tough! (I definitely can't push my leg out as much as they do!) The DVD includes:
- 24 exercises in main program
- 9 exercises in Bonus program
- Workout time = 33 minutes (main program)
- Workout time = 12 minutes (Bonus program)
- DVD Length = 84 minutes
Here is the ankle tube out of the packaging:
The black bands are made with velcro and go around your ankles.
Purple Purse Foundation Tassel Charm - Value $10
FabFitFun partnered with The Purple Purse Allstate Foundation for the Fall box. I love this addition. Here is more on the foundation and ways you can support:
In 2014, over 140 community partners came together in support of Purple Purse through ongoing fundraising challenges from CrowdRise. This Purple Purse Challenge raised over $2,500,000 to help give survivors of domestic violence the financial knowledge, skills and resources they need to break free from abuse.
Proudly clip a Purple Purse charm to your bag and help domestic violence survivors break free from abuse. All proceeds from charm sales will support more than 160 Purple Purse Challenge nonprofits and the domestic violence survivors they serve. See a complete list of the organizations here.
Share a photo of the charm on your bag with #PurplePurse.
Picture it On Canvas $75 Gift Card (with free shipping; expires 12/1/15)
Jeweler’s Wife $15 Gift Card (with free shipping; expires 12/31/15)
(FYI - both of these offers say one gift card per order, so I don't believe you would be able to stack them if you had multiples).
Awesome news about the Picture it On Canvas coupon code - you do not have to enter billing info to use it! (If your order is $75 or under). I'm still browsing the site for which item to pick, but I'm leaning toward the 12" by 12" Woodgrain Print ($75 exactly).
Also good to know about Jeweler's Wife - you don't need to enter credit card info for this one either if your order total is under $15! I was just testing out the checkout to see if I needed to enter my credit card info, and I managed to accidently place an order, so I recommend making sure you have what you want in your cart before you click "apply" on the gift card section!
Normally gift cards included in subscription boxes are "gift codes" that require a purchase of some amount - I'm so impressed that both of these are true gift cards!
Crest 3D White Brilliance 2-Step System Sample
And this box also included this 3D White sample as a bonus sponsored item. Not too exciting for me, but no complaints considering everything else that is in the box!
Verdict: I think this is my favorite FabFitFun box of all time. For one thing - I LOVE that the gift cards can be used as actual gift cards! What an awesome surprise! (And because of that I think it is fair to count the value of those gift cards toward the overall value of the box).
This box has a retail value of about $367 - I really don't know how they do it with a $50 box, but I'm impressed! And I will use every single item, so the personal value is there for me too.
What do you think of the FabFitFun Fall 2015 Box? What are you going to buy with your gift cards?
