FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Info

Each box comes with a fold out card detailing all the items included.

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Speaker

FabFitFun Everyday Wireless Speaker - Value $29.99

This speaker has pretty decent sound quality for its size, and I do love the carabiner clip. Here it is out of the packaging:

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Speaker Open

It was super easy to sync the bluetooth with my phone too. (There's a little blue light that has been blinking as I've been using it, and I haven't figured out how/if I can turn it off. It's either a sign that my battery needs charged, that I'm using bluetooth, or something else I haven't thought of!)

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Wren

Wren Moon Pendant - Value $100

There are a few variations of this necklace: moon, heart, or horse shoe, in either gold or rose gold. I think I like this gold moon combination the best! The necklace is 14Kt gold dipped yellow gold, with 1pt black sapphire stone. It's 18 inches long, with 2 inches in extender chain, and it is made in the USA too!

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Jump Rope

FabFitFun X CosmoBody Jump Rope - Value $14

It wouldn't be a FabFitFun box without a "Fit" item, and I think this is a practical one - and it doesn't take up too much of the value of the box. (CosmoBody also released some workout videos featuring jump ropes to coincide with this box).

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Nail Wraps

Scratch Limited Edition Nail Wraps - Value $12

Here is the how-to-apply link to show you how these nail wraps go on. (You remove them with regular nail polish remover). Scratch Nail Wraps also offer a monthly subscription service, and the packaging says "FabFitFun VIPS get their first monthly mani kit for 50% off," but there isn't a coupon code, and the only link they give is the how to apply link. (If you have figured out how to get the 50% off - let us know!)

Headspace 3-Month Subscription - Value $38.85

Yay - this is a completely free subscription - no need to enter credit card info! I tried Headspace for a month a while ago thanks to the first Arianna Huffington Quarterly box, and I've been meaning to sign up for a monthly subscription, so this is perfect for me. (Headspace is a mediation tool/app/site that lets you easily take a few minutes in your day and practice mediation with guided prompts).

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Tarte

tarte LipSurgence Lip Gloss - Value $19

There are quite a few shade variants subscribers may receive in this gloss. I'm not sure what the name of this shade is, but the number is B131 b926. It provides a nice sheer wash of color, lots of shine, and it has that subtle sweet mint flavor I like in the tarte lip crayons.

Inkling Scents Sultry Roll-On Perfume - Value $25

I'm not a big perfume wearer, but I think I like this scent - it definitely fits the "sultry" name! (And it is alcohol free).

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Vaseline

Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer - Value $8

This is the one sponsored item in the box - and I think as far as sponsored FabFitFun items go, it's one of the best I've seen. The formula isn't like a lotion at all - it felt like I was spraying on a liquid. (After you spray it on, you have to rub it in). The end result was pretty moisturizing though!

Gorge I'll Make You Look Amazing Daily Spray - Value $24.95

This is one of those "does it all" leave-in conditioner hair products - detangles, adds shine, repairs, creates silky hair, etc. I just tried it out on dry hair just to get a feel of the formula, and it seems lightweight. Also - I love the scent, it reminds me of some kind of tropical sunscreen.

FabFitFun Summer 2015 Box Review + Coupon Sponge

Hello Konjac Cleansing Sponge - Value $12

I discovered konjac sponges for cleansing my face through subscription boxes, and now I'm always happy to get a new one in a box - I think this was a great addition to the box!

Verdict: This box has a value of about $284. I think that value is amazing for the $50 price (or $40 with coupon), and I'll use almost everything in this box (not sure if I can rock the nail decals). What do you think of the Summer FabFitFun box? Which variations did you receive?

Ordered my box on July 30th and still have not received it. When I followed up they apologized profusely and promised to ship sameday or next at latest (this was August 27th). I followed up on August 31st as I did not receive shipping confirmation and received a “We are terribly sorry for the trouble. It looks like the label for your box was generated today.” Of course it was, because I complained and followed up AGAIN. This is ridiculous. When I responded telling that what terrible customer service they have they responded with “would you like me to cancel your account?”. Wonderful customer retention. Now I still have to wait another 7-12 days for shipment. I’d like to note – for most, yes this is just a $40 box but for Canadians, it’s not. My payment confirmation shows as $39.99 plus $8 shipping but at the end of the day with a $1.30 CAD conversion, I’m paying over $62 for this thing with nothing but headaches. All they offered was a $10US credit to put towards my next box (useless) and an offer to throw in an extra “goodie” to my box – which again proves they haven’t even shipped it yet. Unreal.

Anyone else having issues with the box gone missing? My box was originally shipped using USPS standard service, but it randomly changed into Priority Mail. Therefore, I wasn’t expecting it real soon since the USPS’s standard service is normally really slow. I recently tracked it again since it has been awfully a long time. The tracking shows that it was left on my porch on the 20th, but I don’t have the box. I don’t know what to do besides email the customer service and crossed my fingers.

Half of me hope that I’m not the only one having this kind of problem. The other half knows it’s selfish of me to think that way…. I really hope they can find my box instead of blowing me off.

Anyone know the customer service number I can get a hold of FabFitFun? I so had it with them.

hmmm… I am definitely in the minority here. I really liked this box and will use absolutely everything. I also received an email from FFF saying that they were having some customs issues shipping so that there would be a delay but that they would be throwing in a bonus in my fall box for the delay. But to be honest, I don’t really pay attention to when exactly the box is supposed to arrive or when my card is charged so I wasn’t bothered that it came a little later into the month. I think they do a lovely job of curating, however I don’t get too many other boxes so that may be why I wasn’t upset over having items similar to what I’d received in other boxes….
Still love FFF and already can’t wait for the Fall box!

This box was pretty nice but i ended up giving away the nail wrap and Tarte lip gloss. I’ll definitely use everything else in the box.

I received my box today. I was all set to be cranky because it had not been received and I had to call to find out what happened to it. They send me out a new box 2nd day air, and I received it today. OK Fab fit fun, all is forgiven. This may just be my favorite box yet! I love the perfume, love the sponge, love the lipgloss, and love the lotion! I don’t even care about the value of the necklace, because truthfully everything else more than makes up for it. And I’m so excited to try the meditation website! Total win

I just got an email with the USPS tracking number. Did anyone else got their box shipped by USPS? I thought they are supposed to use Fedex Smartpost or something. I know they are both really bad in term of delivery time, but I was hoping that it may be quicker with Fedex Smartpost. Even though sometimes Fedex Smartpost takes even longer.

Reply ButtonReply

Cindy

I feel like FedEx Smartpost is much slower than almost anything except DHL because it starts out via FedEx then is transferred over to the USPS who delivers the package.

I received the speaker in a swap-no instructions in the box. Did it come with instructions? And is anyone else’s fm radio not working? All I hear is static.

Reply ButtonReply

Tanya

This is my first FFF box and I’m pretty disappointed. My speaker doesn’t work and I’m bummed I got the pink one, but what can you do?! I also got a very bright, tacky shade of fuchsia gloss that I’ll never wear. The childish pink nail wraps (what’s with all the pink? Is that normal for FFF?) also aren’t my thing, and the gold horseshoe necklace is tiny, looks cheap, and certainly not worth $100! This box is definitely not worth the sub price. I may give them one more try but if the next box is anything like the summer box, I’ll be cancelling!

I love this box but the nail wraps just aren’t my thing. Perhaps I have odd shaped nails, but they just did not seem to fit. I tried out 2 of them, so I really cannot post them on the swap site, but I hate to completely waste them. Other than those, I will use everything in this box.

Love everything except the nail wraps. Those are such a waste! I guess they’ll go into my gift pile. They just look so cheap.

Decided to resub. I wanted the rose gold moon necklace, and got tired of trying to swap for it. There are not to many of those listed, and the other colors and other designs listed many people have in comments they want the rose gold moon necklace. Resubbing was so much easier. Plus I’m also interested in the perfume rollon, the tart lip gloss and the speaker. All those combined make the box worth it for me. The other items I’ll be regifting. Yet I’m fine with that. I stopped getting popsugar which I sometimes miss, but I don’t miss the extra $40 a month expense, and more products I wont use monthly. I wish that FFF would have chosen other items instead of the: Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer and the Gorge I’ll Make You Look Amazing Daily Spray. I know the spray cant be mailed via usps and i doubt if the daily spray can be mailed either by usps. Even though I have not gotten this box yet, I know I’ll be happy enough with my purchase, great deal for the price paid, as long as the perfume rollon does not break.

FFF is now deleting posts to their FB page of people complaining about either shipping or receiving damaged items. They deleted my post stating that my summer box STILL has not shipped. Shady business practices and poor customer service. I’ve tried to cancel but, that function is not working on their website.

Reply ButtonReply

Stevie

They are very shady! I have written to them about so many issues, I finally got fed up and canceled. Then, I realized I got charged for this box, but late in the game since it was on an account I hardly use. I then found out I had $20 in credits in total on my account and decided to set my account back up, so they don’t go to waste. I asked if they would take another $5-10 off and at least make it half price. I thought this would be fair since I have had an issue with EVERY box so far! He said, no. Just flat out, no. I stay at home with my kids now, but I was a very successful hair stylist for years, running my own booth and keeping clients happy. I could not have imagined treating clients in such a manner. Nor would I expect them. To ever come back if I did! I just received my box today with perfume leaking out (a roller perfume too) and no Gorge product at all. I feel their boxes are going downhill and I ask myself why I keep getting them. Between the horrific customer service and the now mediocre boxes, I just don’t see the allure. They have absolutely zero appreciation for any of their customers. Oh, and what’s up with no snack this time? That was dispointing.

I still don’t have mine. They charge me extra because I’m out in Hawaii, but I think they pocket the extra cash rather than use it toward shipping. 🙁 It takes FOREVER to get my box. I signed up for the one year plan to have choices, but I plan to cancel once it’s finished because of shipping issues.

I’m going to gift my necklace since I am allergic to fake/cheap jewelry. I looked at the website for Wrenn and there is not one other necklace that is over $42. I think they inflated the price significantly for the purpose of selling the box. This is my first box from them and I’m not impressed. I like the speaker and it will match my golf clubs but other than that and a few other items it is a bust for me. I am considering canceling my subscription but will give them one more month…

Sarah.

I just checked and the website u were prob looking at was not the right one. That one has a similar name ,(wrenn) and pretty jewelry for way cheaper but the right website, It’s wrenstudio. Com. They have clothing and our necklaces on there and they are listed as $100, which is more expensive than many if the clothing items. I agree that these necklaces are way over priced for being gold dipped.

The necklace is on the Wren website for $100. But I completely agree that it is a ridiculous price.

Its Wren. Not Wrenn. Maybe its the wrong website?

Could part of the issue over the price be the small black stone in the necklace?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as you described, were you able to figure out the problem? I tried suggestions from both @kay and @Yvonne, my phone has volume on, and I have been holding the “V+” button like forever, there is no sounds.

Thanks folks in advance!

There is volume control on the speaker. You have to push the button toward plus for louder or minus for quieter, but you have to hold it until it reaches the volume you desire.

same problem until i realized volume was off on my phone! you control volume thru phone not the speaker itself

In order to get the 50 percent off for the nail wraps you just go to the website that is on the back of the nail wrap packaging. Once there a little box pops open and gives you the code Fab4Scratch.

Just got my box in and I totally love it ! I got the turquoise speaker, which was the one I wanted, my tarte lip gloss is in a really pretty sheer pinkish mauve color called exquisite that has a pretty purple mosaic outside. I couldn’t have ask for a better color, I was so worried I would get a dark color. I got the rose gold heart necklace, which I am hoping to trade for the gold horseshoe, I could use the luck ! The perfume smells so good, kinda musky but not too strong and its all oil, not a bit of alcohol smell. This is such a great box for the $40 I paid !
