I did it. I finally did it. After a year of ignoring the videos and pictures constantly showing up while online, I finally took the plunge and decided to try FabFitFun. I’m not one for the latest fads, and I usually don’t consider anything Hollywood stars promote. That’s pretty much why I ignored FabFitFun for so long. However, when I started researching subscription boxes, I couldn’t ignore the reviews or facts. I believe all the reviews I’ve read are positive, and it’s a fact that the box includes over $300 worth of full-sized products.

But will I really use the products? Is it really worth it? My answer is yes. Yes! I definitely love and will personally use most of what came in my first box. The other items will make perfect gifts, which I would have had to buy anyway. And if you continue reading, you’ll learn other ways I can save with this subscription. It’s not just about the quarterly box. There’s more to FabFitFun I never knew about.

I got to choose between the Vince Camuto Luck Tote in “Black” or “Red Desert” ($128), or a Crown Brush 6 Piece Makeup Brush Set in two various colors ($75). I chose the Red Desert Tote.

I also got to choose between an Alfred Teapot ($26) or an Alfred French Press ($22). Well, if you know me, you know I LOVE hot tea. That was an easy decision. I could always use another teapot–or anything else tea related. It’s an addiction!

And I got to choose between a Catherine Malandrino Umbrella in “Red Floral” or “Black/White” Floral ($39.99), or Cylo Cobra Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds in “Black” or “White” ($40). I went for the umbrella, because who doesn’t need an extra umbrella?

Every FabFitFun box contained: a beauty blender ($20), Simply Whimsical Tea Towels ($14.99), Skin&Co Roma Blue in Capri shower gel ($22), GlamGlow Bubblesheet Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Masks – 2 pack ($18), and a Luna Rica Bar.

FabFitFun selected the last two skincare and makeup products, and of course, they took into consideration the form I filled out when I subscribed. They know my skin preferences, but if I become an annual subscriber, I can choose the last two products for myself. In this box, I got: Grown Alchemist Polishing Facial Exfoliant ($67) and Cuccio Somatology Yogahhh! Detox Bath ($39.95).

The box I received was valued at $375.97, and I only paid around $40 for it. I also got an addon. For around seven dollars more, it included a Bentgo lunch box. Believe it or not, the day I got the email about the addons, I had spent the morning looking at lunch supplies online.

Now, for all the extras. How is this box different from the others? Well, it’s not just a subscription box. It’s a membership. And with that membership, you get access to their online community (which is very active), access to their videos (workout, cooking, makeup, etc.), access to many discounts through their site, access to various giveaways (which are big), and their magazine. There could be more extras. That’s just what I found by glancing at their site.

With all the savings on their site, it’s a great place for online shopping. They have discounts and coupons for many online shops and items. Christmas is coming, so the winter box is the perfect time to try FabFitFun. You get $10 off your first box, so it’s only $39.99 instead of $49.99. Don’t let the price scare you. It’s only four times a year, and they’re worth over $300. It’s not a makeup box, either. It could include exercise, home, clothing, or other random items. This is a very popular box, and they didn’t get that way by throwing in bad stuff. I thought I’d just try it out, but now I’m hooked.

If interested, I hope you’ll subscribe through here. Not only will you get $10 off, but I’ll get a referral incentive. That’s why you see so much FabFitFun online. Everyone’s trying to refer their friends.

Oh, and if you have a teenage daughter, this box delivers a fun girls’ night.
