Unless you choose to cancel, you will be billed 21 days after the date of purchase for your first seasonal box (valued at $200+) for the full subscription price of $49.99.

This box was sent to us for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Now, time for the items!

Spongelle Bulgarian Rose Body Wash Infused Buffer – Value $16

This is one of my favorite subscription box beauty discoveries!

If you aren't familiar with Spongelle, you are in for a treat! It infused with body wash, and the sponge is firmer than your typical bath pouf, so you get exfoliation added in, as well!

This scent is described as a blend of sweet mandarin, rose, and soft musk. I’m not always a fan of rose scents, but I like this one! (And it should last for at least 14 uses!)

Marrakesh Oil: Argan and Hemp Oil Therapy – Value $22.99

This hair oil is THE BEST! The scent is amazing, the formula is so lightweight, and it helps give shine, fight frizz, etc. Plus, you only need a few drops, so my last bottle lasted me months!

Pure Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palette in Stripped - Value $50

(Subscribers will receive this palette or the Pure Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palette in Smokey)

This palette has a mix of shimmers and mattes, and the pigment is great throughout with one exception. (The Stardust color was almost impossible to swatch.)

Here is everything swatched:

Minimal fallout in these powders, too!

Summer & Rose Yoga Towel – Value $36

(Subscribers will receive one of three colors.)

This microfiber yoga towel is 80% Polyester, 20% Nylon. (And machine wash safe!)

This towel goes over your yoga mat, but it can also double as a beach towel.

Verdict: This box has a retail value of $125! I think that's great for a $20 box. The towel is always useful, but for me, the standout items are the beauty products!

The code didn’t work for starter kit?

I was so disappointed with my box out of the 4 things shown above I only got the sponge and the main reason I ordered the box was for the a argan oil and the pure stripped eyeshadow. Nothing was said about variations.

Same here. Just got my box and the only thing that is the same is the spongelle. The value of the box is higher though. I did want the towel though.

Marie

Really? That sucks! What other 3 items did you get?

FeatHer playbook eyeshadow palette, dr. Brandt pore dermabtasion, and Jook and Nona “HAPPY” necklace.

I was disappointed to receive such a small box. I watched a video and thought I was getting öne of those boxes. Also only one item was the same as what you showed in your starter box.

Hmmm. Wonder if they ran out. What items did you get?

I ordered the starter box and am getting charged for my first seasonal box on September 17. Does this mean I am getting the Fall box as well?

Save your money. Fabfitfun is definitely not worth it. Very disappointed in the last few boxes and will not renew.

I really was undervalue the impression that this would be a full size box and was disappointed to find only 4 items inside. I was so hoping for the ruana and am so upset that I received the yoga towel instead. I’m thinking about cancelling since the Fall box doesn’t really appeal to me and I didn’t get the one item I was so hopefully no for.

I wish they would sell these boxes as one offs. I loved the last edition box but didn’t want to create a new account to get it.

They did eventually let current subscribers buy the last Editor’s box but it was at full price instead of the 40% off deal or whatever they were giving to new subscribers.

That’s a great idea! Would be so much simpler, easier & straitforward.

It’s a nice box. It’s nothing like BOXYCHARM but still not so bad

Tasha

Does anyone know what country the eyeshadow palette is made in? Is it USA, China, etc.? Thanks!!

Reply ButtonReply

AH

I guess I have a hard time understanding the appeal – for $10 more I got the latest Editor’s box with over double the items and I believe triple the value – even if some of that value was inflated. I think FFF raised their own bar pretty high lol. If I had never received a FFF box or any sub box, I am sure I would think this is the bee’s knees.

If I was a new subscriber and didn’t already have these items I would be thrilled. This is a great box and a great value for $19.99

If I didn’t already have them I’d create a new account for it 😊

I’m thinking about this, but I’d be so bummed if I got the Smokey eye palette. I always seem to get the versions of boxes that I wanted less (or not at all). But this is a nice deal for sure!

vanessa

I ordered one! I can’t wait to see which palette I get. I almost ordered another to try to snag both 😁

Nice new profile pic, Liz!

Thanks, Vanessa! 🙂 Hope you love the box!

I do! Got the blue towel & the neutral palette.

I’m so tempted to order another to get the smoky…. ugh!!
