FabFitFun Winter Editor’s Box 2019 Review + $10 Coupon

I kind of feel the same about the fall’19 box. I just renewed but am disappointed.

A couple of my extre add on.items were not sealed with any kind of stuck on or lift out sealer . Dr.Brandt do not age almost looked half used an the curl cream was half gone …? Kinda makes me wonder if someone else is trying them also . Or iam afraid to use either one I dont know wh

Love them also!!!!!

The bowl are “prep” bowls meant to be used for “mis en place” when cooking.

I got my box yesterday. Everything was awesome except I had selected a purse instead of the scarf. Purse was much cuter in person and I LOVED the use of vegan leather, but I have a similar one already. I contacted customer service on the chat feature and began talking to a rep named Lorraine. She was so efficient and resolved the issue right away. She is sending me the scarf AND letting me keep the purse. Way to go Lorraine and thank you FFF for having such excellent customer service. ❤️

I have really dry hands to the point of splitting and bleeding. After 1 use of the hand cream my hands were noticeably better looking and feeling, day 4 I can’t even describe how happy I am. I have literally tried everything I could find and nothing made my hands better. I have hosimotos and that’s just one of the side effects. To add to this miracle for me personally my hands even look younger! The scent isn’t my favorite but it’s not real strong and because of the effects I’d just deal with it. I use a pea size once a day. I will be buying more when I run out despite the price and I’m a “if it’s not a deal I won’t buy it”

I have purchased both and while the hand cream is okay, Exfolicate is fantabulous imo!

I have the the thrown from the winter box I didn’t think i wouldn’t like it. I love it. It is very soft and so warm. I have a lot of soft throws. This one is thinner but still warmer than my others.

Yours is the first comment I read, so I took your suggestion! Popcorn is popped and I even added a little butter and cheese! Let the reading commence!

Me too, since I cant decide I just pay $10 extra and pick both >.<

How,?,?please help

“nondescript scarf”??!!
It’s 3 scarf together. I don’t know about everyone else but I’ve never seen a 3 scarf look, and I work in a very busy retail store. It’s harder nondescript.
You don’t like then, you saved $50

Thats a shame. 😢
I wore mine to a special holiday gathering n was complimented on it all evening.

Same! My Great Dane has adopted it and it’s holding up nicely. No complaints here.

Awwwww i love animal lovers…what a good dog momma! I don’t want my kitty to get old.

They sent me the tan one twice. Even though I customised one box with gray. CS claimed I was wrong and said once all the Winter boxes are done I can BUY the grey one. I’m so pissed at their CS

Lol …..priceless!

I thought the throw was going to be a piece of garbage too. Surprisingly, after washing n drying it? it became incredibly soft and makes a perfect throw for the sofa. 😊
I use it daily.

LOL. As mean spirited as this comment sounds, I think a lot of us are or have been there. My MIL is 👿 and wouldn’t deserve even this throw.

No they are not “toxic”. I think we’d all be hard pressed to not find ANYTHING in our homes with acrylic in it. Please. Lol

Ditto. My throw became SUPER SOFT after putting it thru a gentle wash n air dry. 😊

I know, right? I really like mine! It’s lightweight but I have no problems with snags, etc. it’s a nice lap throw. Matches my couches nicely and pairs well with my yellow lab. ❤️❤️

I’m glad to hear some people like the throw. I gave it to my son’s girlfriend, along with lots of various sub box items, and I really like her. I wasn’t trying to pawn it off on someone I don’t care for. She has a sweet dog so maybe she can use it for a doggy blanket.

Me too! It’s very soft, and light enough that I don’t get too hot when using it. And me and my cat have used it quite a bit and no snags yet.

That’s such a shame. Different people have different tastes and standards and needs. Especially a person that can afford a pricey sub box versus a homeless person. Have you never heard, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? And trust me, those places are quite happy to get pretty much anything, especially brand new items. What a shame that you throw your unwanted items in the trash. I hope you read these comments and decide to rethink your misunderstanding of those in need.

For those (like me) that did not like the blanket:

Another idea is to donate the blanket to a Goodwill (or similar) store. They’ll get it into the hands of someone who actually wants it, make a few bucks to cover their effort, and in the case of Goodwill, their processing of the item will provide work training/experience for someone.

Lots of people might love the blanket, for example, a college student, someone setting up their first apartment, an elderly person on a fixed income, a student who wants to use pieces of the fabric in their art project, or as a prop in a school play, etc., etc. And beyond that, we all know how much DIYers LOVE to repurpose things!

Lastly, if no one bought the blanket from Goodwill, (which I truly doubt would happen as it’s new,) they take their unsold textiles from their stores and sell them at a very cheap bulk rate to companies that use or recycle the fibers. So somehow, somewhere, the blanket will be used.

Blankets are in high demand at shelters. Just because you don’t like something someone else may really like it and appreciate it and not see it as a reject at all. I encourage anyone that doesn’t like something in a box to donate it to a women’s shelter. What doesn’t seem like much to you could truly make someone’s day

I give a lot of items I don’t use to the domestic violence shelter where I live I get 5 ipsy bags and a plus for me I also get several birch boxes and play by Sephora so I can donate items I once got a skin tint in the shade dark in every ipsy bag but where I live I know it was an item no one would be able to use I took it with me anyway so if the girls wanted it for like a bronzer so I ended up with none just because you won’t use it doesn’t mean someone else that had to leave everything or lost everything won’t use it when I was in there I didn’t care what kind of eyeliner ir foundation I had just having one was all that mattered I was a full time student and had to find a job so I would have loved anything new that was given to me to help even if it was wet and wild if you havnt been in that kind of situation you couldn’t understand I guess

Some of us namely myself really like neutrals!

i know it’s kind of a pain in the ass, but maybe it can be dyed? i’ve changed the color of a few clothing & bedding items and they’ve turned out quite nicely. even if acrylic has issues absorbing color, blush would be an easy color to achieve, if even a little color held. (colors can be mixed to create any shade.)

There’s absolutely nothing whatsoever wrong with the throw. I’ve washed mine n notta snag, rip or tear in it. Delicate wash, air fluff or hang dry. And that Donni scarf is to die for! Id use absolutely every single thing in this box. Lol. Donni scarfs are EXPENSIVE. I know. N during the cooler winter months will come in very handy indeed. The eye masks? I have some of these Blaq eye masks n they work beautifully for overtired and/ or puffy eyes. TIP: Once you use the eye masks dont throw them away. Rinse them off and stick them in the fridge or freezer. Can be used again to soothe your eyes. Yes, they ARE that durable. Again, probably why they’re a tad costly. Spongelles are fantastic, what can I say? N the Beach Grass scent is one of my favorites. That “hand cream” is very expensive as well and is more than just your average “run of the mill” hand cream. I may order this box from The Shop after our FFF Winter Edit Sale is over.

I love the throw and use it all the time. My cat and I both like it, in fact, and no snags yet. I really don’t know why there’s all this hysteria about it.

I use my blanket and love it! It’s not super warm…but great for when I want to feel covered up but don’t want to get hot. Mine hasn’t snagged or had any issues.

The new kitten, who I rescued from outside before it got too cold, loves to kneed the blanket. I have to take it out it she won’t sleep. She’ll just stand there lol

This is also my process. I’m surprised not more people are like this!

Yes, the code applies seasonally but I’ve heard some ladies who got it changed to annual memberships via Caitlin Landis, Head of Customer Care. Maybe you can try contacting her? She’s located in California headquarters. Not their customer service chat lines. Those are based in the Philippines. Hope you get the help u need hon

I reactivated my membership and my first box is the winter box. I was offered a 25 dollar credit to spend on the edit sale if I reactivated. ( the winter editors box is offered there for 49 dollars. If I purchased it with the credit I would only be paying 25 dollars for it, plus I would be getting the winter box) I then turned around and purchased an annual membership for 179.

The annual membership for new, first-time subscribers is already reduced from $199 down to $179 on their website, so I’m pretty sure that’s why the HOORAY code can’t be used for the annual membership, only the seasonal.

I wholeheartedly agree with this! I volunteer at a shelter that houses women and children who have suffered domestic abuse, human trafficking, etc. and I donate all unwanted items from FFF and other sub boxes to this shelter. I have never seen so much gratitude for a blanket, especially one that is brand spanking new. I got a scarf/shawl thing in my PopSugar box and though it wasn’t for me (I just didn’t like how it looked), I gave it to a woman I’ve met through my volunteer work as a Xmas gift and she absolutely loved it. It’s a more fashion scarf, but it’s really wide, thick and actually keeps you warm so it was perfect since they keep the shelters on the colder side, even down here in Florida. I hate reading that people just “tossed it (the blanket or other items) in the trash” because you may not like it or use it, but there are those that will treasure it because they are without. Even when I donate my samples of makeup and skincare, the women love it. We make little pre-packaged bags with skincare products (face wash, moisturizer, hand cream, etc) along with basic makeup (mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss/lipstick) since a lot of these women will be looking for work in the future and looking professional on an interview is key. Also, what better way to instantly feel better about yourself than that little touch of mascara or lip color? So if you find something in your sub box that you’re quite “meh” about, please consider donation to a shelter. Trust me, it will be treasured.

For real it’s modern day elitism, I like high quality things and frequently gripe about the FFF jewelry for example but only because of the state’s retail versus the actual item- I still wear it or trade or give away! The blanket is FINE. It’s in a sub box that cost $50 or less it’s not a blanket from Saks fifth avenue for goodness sake.

Something that happens around my area is people will tie a coat or scarf on a telephone pole so someone walking by that needs it can grab it! I love that my town does that and both the scarf and blanket could be done like that! So even if you don’t have time to go donate, you can easily do this, it would take just 30 seconds.

Absolutely! Animal shelters are always looking for blankets/towels/sheets, new or used, as long as they are clean.
Donate to homeless shelters, give to churches that house the homeless, put it in those bins that collect donated, clean clothes. Let someone else decide if it’s “trash”.
If we are able to even comment here, we have far more than we need.

Agreed!! Others could use it just as well, whether it’s given to the homeless or someone finds it at their local thrift shop. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
