FYI - The Fall 2020 Box is almost sold out!
FabFitFun is a quarterly subscription box from FabFitFun.com. Each season they send you a box of $200+ worth items in categories like beauty, fashion, and fitness. It's our readers' top pick for the Best Fitness Subscription Boxes of 2020!
Each season, FabFitFun features a different design for their box. Starting with the Fall 2020 delivery, you may notice some changes—that's because FabFitFun switched over to 100% recycled kraft boxes and is working with artists to feature designs with less ink in their commitment to sustainability.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

FabFitFun Fall 2020 Review
FabFitFun sends out a mini mag in each box. It details the items included and also provides background on some of the featured makers and designers. You'll also find exclusive coupons for the brands featured in the box.
Let's see what is inside! (If you aren't familiar, FabFitFun lets subscribers pick several of their items each season - I'll show you what I picked for each selection.)
First choice item:
Choice 1 – All members get the chance to customize these options in their box.
- Botkier New York Bond Tote $128.00
- Botkier New York Trigger Backpack $100.00
- FOXYBAE 25mm Black Curling Wand with Rose Gold Colored Barrel $99.00
- Stila Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner + HUGETM Extreme Lash Mascara $45.00
- Uncommon James Set of 2 Copper Canisters $49.00
- SACHAJUAN Styling Cream & Finish Cream $65.00
- Mia Mélange Cotton Basket $60.00
My Pick:
Botkier New York Bond Tote - Retail Value $128.00
Height 11.5 in (29 cm)
Length 12 in (30 cm)
Depth 6.5 in (17 cm)
Handle Drop 9 in (23 cm)
I am a sucker for a tote and this one looks downright classic. Admittedly, I would have preferred leather, but I actually already own a leather tote and I can't argue with how easy this one is to spot clean if need be. Inside there is a large zipper pocket as well as two pouches for your tech or lipsticks. The straps are plenty long so I can toss them over my shoulder and go.
Second choice item:
Choice 2 – All members get the chance to customize these options in their box.
- Beyond Yoga Hidden Pocket Infinity Scarf $59.95
- Glossmetics Hair Removal Device $59.95
- Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Pore Perfecting & Refining Serum $65.00
- SOIA & KYO Woven Scarfigan with Fringe $85.00
- Volition Beauty Celery Green Cream $55.00
- Erno Laszlo Pore Cleansing Clay Mask $48.00
My Pick:
Volition Beauty Celery Green Cream, 1.7 fl oz - Retail Value $55.00
This was an easy pick for the skincare hoarder inside my brain. I have always found Volition formulas to be nice and soothing, and free of lots of things that cause me redness or irritation. This gel-cream formula is so soothing! It is packed with skin goodies like celery seed, green tea extract, and raspberry fruit extracts that are all super high in antioxidants. You will also find lactic acid (a gentle exfoliant), cucumber, and glycerine inside. This feels a little heavier than I expected, but I don't mind. It is also nicely cooling, making it very appropriate for the summer sun. It has a light and clean scent and is free of alcohol and essential oils.
Third choice item:
Choice 3 – All members get the chance to customize these options in their box.
- JENNY BIRD Austin Cuff $135.00
- JENNY BIRD Leana Pendant $115.00
- Vitamasques Multivitamin Mask Set $40.00
- Nectar Sunglasses Blue Light Blocking Glasses in Brown Tortoise $45.00
- Beauty Bakerie Proof is in the Puddin’ Palette $38.00
My Pick:
JENNY BIRD Austin Cuff - Listed Value $135.00
Chains: 5 inches long. Whole piece: 8.5 inches long.
I wear a lot of mixed metals and chains and I thought this might be a fun addition to my collection. This piece is pretty hefty! While that retail value feels a little high, I will say that it feels very well made. If I could change one thing, it would be just a touch of additional length. My wrists are about 6.5 inches and it fit fine enough, but I wish the chains had covered more of my wrist with less extender.
Fourth choice item:
Only Annual Members get to customize these options in their box. Otherwise, FabFitFun will choose the best option for you.
- Masontops® Glass Water Bottle with Neoprene in Turquoise $35.00
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel $22.00
- SKIN&CO Roma Truffle Therapy Whipped Cleansing Cream $28.00
- Feel Beauty Renewed Pumpkin Walnut Facial Cleanser $28.00
- frank body Original Coffee Scrub $16.95
(Annual subscribers get to pick their item. Seasonal subscribers will be surprised.)
My Pick:
Masontops® Glass Water Bottle with Neoprene in Turquoise - Listed Value $35.00 (Buy a pair here for $39.95)
If you were to visit my office, you would see my larger desk is just a laptop surrounded by a collection of skin serums and water bottles. Seriously, half of my life is drinking water and rubbing goo onto my face. I am fine with it! This modified mason jar was an easy choice to add to my water bottle shrine. I liked the cheerful teal color and the fact that the main body of the bottle is glass. The lid makes a very satisfying sound when you open it too, and I found it to be utterly leak-proof. I love that there is a fabric sleeve to collect any outside sweat from my bev of choice, especially since everything is filled with ice this time of year. The listed value seemed a little high since you can snag two of these for just a little more, which is something I will probably find myself doing when my mom or Will end up swiping this one.
Fifth choice item:
Only Annual Members get to customize these options in their box. Otherwise, FabFitFun will choose the best option for you.
- HIP Cutlery Set $14.99
- NCLA So Rich Cuticle Oil in Horchata $18.00
- Likwid RxTM Stress Reliever 100% Natural Ayurvedic Hair Oil $75.00
- 8 Other Reasons Runway Clip Trio $32.00
- Harper + Ari Exfoliating Sugar Cubes in Juice Cleanse $16.00
(Annual subscribers get to pick their item. Seasonal subscribers will be surprised.)
My Pick:
8 Other Reasons Runway Clip Trio - Retail Value $32.00
This was a tough choice for me because normally I would be all over those portable utensils. Now that school is done though, I really only eat lunch at home. I decided that the clips were super cute, and I loved the colors enough to pick them! Even though the only time I really do my hair right now is for Zoom meetings, I feel like they are an easy way to add a little style to my look and they are certainly more polished than my massive default scrunchie.
Now that we've gone through all the choice options, all subscribers will get 3 additional items that FabFitFun picks for them.
FabFitFun will surprise you with three items from this category.
- Voesh® New York Pedicure in a Box Duo - Pumpkin Spice $20.00
- The Laundress New York Crease Release $16.00
- Spongellé Boxed Flower in Sweet Cedarwood $16.00
I received:
Spongellé Boxed Flower in Sweet 'Cedarwood' - Retail Value $16.00
Spongellé flowers are my go-to for trips. They save me from having to haul a wet bar soap or a big leaky bottle of shower gel. As luck has it, I have a nice week-long trip to Tennessee planned in the next few weeks, so in my bag this goes! This might be my fave scent yet from this brand! It is woody and sweet, and even a little sexy.
- NatureLab Tokyo Perfect Repair Treatment Masque $16.00
- Stone Candles Room Spray in Pumpkin Spice $36.00
- Stone Candles Room Spray in Santal $36.00
- Hythe Tranquility Sleep Mist $22.00
I received:
Stone Candles Room Spray in 'Santal Noir', 5 fl oz - Retail Value $36.00 (currently sold out)
I really had my fingers crossed I would avoid the pumpkin spice room spray because I can't stand pumpkin spice anything. Luck was on my side as I saw inside my box was the sandalwood version of the same spray. Yum! This scent is woody and musky, and totally something I would have in my house. I was a little disappointed because it isn't that strong of a scent and when I spray a room spray I want to really notice. This is more of a hint of scent but I love it enough to use it either way.
- Beauty Papier Golden Superfood Shower Gel $30.00
- ZiGi & MARAiS Pouch with Stripe $30.00
- The Beauty Crop® Glow Milk in Blind Date $19.50
ZiGi & MARAiS Pouch with Stripe - Retail Value $30.00
Our final item is a cute little pouch in the shape of sunglasses. Will is always losing his sunglasses case and while he would never reach for this one, I ended up giving my hard case to him to use this instead. The little rose gold stripe is very cute and I am always down for a tassel.
Verdict: This box has a value of $214-$544+ depending on which items you receive. My box totals around $467. I was trying to think of an accurate way to frame this value, when I thought about a time recently in Sephora when I ALMOST bought that Volition Beauty Celery Green Cream. That cream is $55 and this box is $49.99 so it more than covers the box value-wise. Getting a cream that was on my to-buy list for less than its cost along with all these other items? That feels like a lot of value to me! Of course, this can vary heavily on your own shopping preferences and what you selected to go inside your box. But for me the value here is easy to see and even the things I might not end up keeping will make really great gifts which are going to be important to me in the next few months with family birthdays and the holidays closer than I can even fathom. I am very pleased with my FFF box this quarter.
