FabFitFun Spring 2020 Box Spoilers!

The Donni sweater coat…Is it the same one that was in the summer 2020 box???? Looks the same…

What is the mystery item that was an option for either item 4 or 5? It says on my page the value is $23, but doesn’t give any other info. Any ideas?

I pay for my FFF on a yearly basis and I always try to stay ahead of the date/time to customize – this last box I was online within 10 mins of my custimization time – and was extremely disappointed that on my 1st set of selections the reVive Light Therapy® Glo Wrinkle and Anti-Aging Light Device was not available. I just assumed that this item was planned to be a selection but something went wrong with the supplier or something. My custimization email stated it started Feb. 2nd

I then heard from a friend who received her box on Feb 15th – I looked online and my box was not scheduled to be shipped until Mar 7th. What gives? She was also able to customize her box weeks before I was allowed to – I thought that was one of the perks of paying yearly – was you would get 1st selection. I now know that the Light Device was not a supply order issue but was sold out before I was even given a chance to make that one of my selections. I am very disappointed.

I wish there was a way you could skip a box or use your subscription money for future add-on credit or something – like if life got in the way or you weren’t really excited about any of the items, you don’t have to get a bunch of stuff you’ll end up getting rid of.

I’m really meh about this box and could easily pass (and put the $ towards my savings or something) but the idea of cancelling and then re-subscribing is a pain.

I was caught up in, well… life, and just checked to see when I needed to review my box & pick all my options since I’m an annual subscriber & I was told I could pick my selections the 14th thru the 18th, late and with the “quarterly box” purchases, but I was still ok with that, but I just got an email, no kidding, about 5 minutes ago saying my box had shipped, how exciting for me!! Like,… what??! I mean, what if they send me some of the throwbacks they’re talking about that I already have???? I am seriously upset about how they handled this for someone who pays for the subscription a year in advance!!! And I agree with some of you, the winter box was pretty great, this box is kinda so-so in my opinion, but then we never see the last minute surprises until we receive it, so I’ll wait to make my final verdict!! But I am starting to get frustrated with them! 🤔

I kind of like the throwback idea but not all the time. I did not take the West Elm bowls last time so that was nice. Maybe on the next throwback you could offer the Unhide blanket so my 9 year old can stop trying to steal it.

I’m cancelling my subscription, there’s nothing here I really want or am excited about, disappointed because the winter box was SO good and I was excited to get another box.

I want everything from choice 2 and nothing from choice 3! These categories are not evenly balanced. Lots of great skincare options.

I think it’s an awesome idea that throwback items are being offered. Although I already have those items because I have subscribed to FFF since 2017, I think it’s great to be able to offer these items to those that did not have an opportunity to select. I still have plenty of items to choose from.

I am brand new to fabfitfun, but I thought they usually hand more options. There’s only 3 here, and for the other months, I have seen 5 categories. Also, is this because the other 2 are missing, or does it seem kinda on the cheap side. Aren’t there usually $80-90 options?

I am debating if I should buy this box. If i buy it next week, does anyone know if I will be allowed to customize in the february 15th pile? Or would my time come later? Is everything good gone by then?

im thinking about buying the spring box, my first box ever. Do you guys know if by the time all access rolls around the choices are still available? Or is it pretty much limited if you don’t get first pick in select access?

Definitely want to try:
1. Revive light device or Elemis cream oil
2. Tarte contour kit, Tarte moisturizer and 111 Rose radiance booster- yes all three🤣
3. Weighted Eye mask- I have really terrible migraines and anxiety hopefully it could help.

The Cosmedix Vit C Powder broke out my skin in a horrible, bumpy, red, rash. I had to take Benadryl and use a steroid cream from the doctor. Ughhhh! Just be careful – but to be transparent my skin is sensitive.

I definitely have mixed feelings but I’m letting the spoilers settle before I write this box off entirely! The more I think about it the more excited I am for the sweater and west elm bowls and will likely get both. I’m sorry stoked about the packing cubes because I travel a LOT and the umbrella is also super cute. The third section I dunno… nothing too exciting for me but I’ll probably grab the weighted mask. I tend to like pressure ok my eyes when I have headaches and I’m thinking this would feel nice. I also might use it for yoga. I can understand people being a little miffed about the throwbacks but I’m a relatively new subscriber and am pretty excited about the concept. Gotta note that it’s still at least three new products per section so it’s not like it’s all throwbacks… I remember loving the look of the west elm bowls and the tote when I saw them but was sad I had missed those boxes. Also… you can’t blame them for finding a creative way to manage their inventory and make some of their customers happy at the same time while still making it fair for veterans by not giving them repeats. They gotta run a business, ya’ll!

Favorite the items you want and keep refreshing throughout the open time, people toss them out of their cart all the time and you can snag them, especially when it’s about to close. I’ve been able to get anything I’ve wanted that way.

I’m really irritated that they always open these options at 9am on a weekend (and they sell out so fast, so you have to be on time.) This time they made it twice as bad – 9am on Saturday for add-ons, AND 9am on Sunday for selection! The only two days I have a chance on sleeping in.

FFF, please stop this madness! If you must make the start time 9am, please do it on a weekday!!!

A few people have expressed concern about the light device being FDA “cleared,” and how that isn’t the same as FDA “approved,” so I wanted to provide some information that may help. It is true that the FDA regulates most medical devices (there are some exemptions), and it is also true that FDA approval and FDA clearance aren’t the same thing. However, approval is provided for Class III devices, which are basically life-sustaining/impacting devices that usually go in the body (high risk devices), such as pacemakers and heart valves. Clearances are what the FDA provides for Class I and Class II devices (such as the light device being offered for the spring box), and is based on an FDA determination that the device is substantially equivalent/ similar to another legally marketed device. So basically, “cleared” doesn’t mean lesser than “approved,” it’s just a different regulatory category/pathway. This information is available on the FDA website if anyone wants more info. HTH.

Do we know if it will be the same as in the past to add on a second + choice in each category for an extra $10, $15, etc.?

I’m intrigued by the light therapy since i’ve been wanting to try it not for wrinkles but pain. FDA cleared makes me nervous though :\ Has anyone used it before?

light therapy + 111skin radiance booster + gravity sleep mask

It’s scaring me how many people are in love with the bowls. I wanted them of course because they’re beautiful but did research and found they’re made in China. Right now there’s a listing on Ebay with a pic of the inside that says “made in China” if anyone wants to look. It’s your choice what you do but I hope at least some of you google ‘safe stoneware’ or ‘are dishes made in China safe”. I’m surprised at how many people either don’t know or don’t care about what leeches into your food from eating utensils. As for silicone spoons and such, we really have no choice where they’re made but there are plenty of equally beautiful dishes made in safer countries. West Elm has gotten scrutiny for their global friendly items while hiding that some are made in China. On their page for the bowls, for county of origin it said “imported” instead of others that stated Portugal or india etc and that’s what made me suspicious.

Man, choice 1 is a huge flop for me. I have the bowls and love them, but I already have them so I don’t need them again. The sweater is cute, but I’m a plus size girl and nothing every fits that is one size fits all. Maybe I’ll get the tote and just use it as another bag for the dog’s stuff.

Choice 2 doesn’t really interest me at all either. I’m defaulting the umbrella because it is something I just could not have enough of.

And choice three is a huge dud too. I’m only slightly intrigued by the weighted sleep mask, but it is something I’ll probably never use.

I hope the remaining choices for seasonal folks are better than what I see here, cause I am very unimpressed with this box.

I’m really happy about the cardigan. I have so much product it is a thrill to get something else. I wish there would be food or tea options too. I’d like to see more variety. I could do without the straws – I imagine everyone will get those and straws seem to be everywhere these days. What happened to the spoiler schedule?

Wow. Cancelled after the winter box and it looks like I did at the right time. If I wanted more I would buy or swap for it. Not what I expect from FFF

Can someone tell me how it works- if you pick choice #1- do you get all of the items in that grouping? Or is it that you get to pick one item from EACH choice 1,2, and 3.

Thanks!

I am getting the light therapy, Murad, and necklace.

If possible I might get the bowls. They are seriously very high quality.

I do not trust the throw back cosmetics because they might be expiration.
