Reviewing FabFitFun: The Winter 2018 Box Reveal

I just received my Winter FabFitFun box, which means it’s box reveal time!

Before we get into the goodies, here is a quick overview of FabFitFun:

• Boxes come on a quarterly basis and cost $49.99 each. To upgrade to a ‘select member’ you just pay for a year at once (rather than quarterly), it’s usually a little cheaper and it gives you the chance to make some choices on options. If you want to try them out, here is a special $10 off link for you to use on your first box.
• You can find links to all of my previous FabFitFun box reviews here.

Here’s my Winter 2018 box:

I always love the designs of the boxes and use them for storage throughout my house. This one will be great to add to my collection!

Let’s look inside:

Mark & Graham Color Block Throw, retail $49

As a select member, I was able to pick between the gray/ivory or the natural/ivory versions of this throw and I went with natural/ivory. To be honest, this blanket is NOT worth the $49 retail value. The weave already has pulls in it and all I’ve done is opened the blanket. We do use ‘snuggle blankets’ around our house year-round, so I’ll stick this one in rotation until it falls apart. Which may be in about a week.

Moroccan Gold Series Treatment Mask, retail $49

This hair mask is made for intense care for dry and damaged hair. I think this will be great for the winter, when my hair gets so dry and full of static. I’ve used (and liked) Moroccan products before, so I’m looking forward to trying this out.

Thrive Causemetics Brilliant Eye Brightener in “Stella”, retail $24

This highlighting stick is said to “highlight and brighten” your eyes, so that’s cool. I don’t currently use any highlighting anything on my face… so this will be fun to try.

Ahava Hydration Cream Mask, retail $33

I try to stick with “Mask Monday’s”where I treat my skin once a week with a face mask. I’ve always enjoyed the masks sent by FabFitFun, so I’m happy to add this mask to my stash.

BLAQ Hydrogel Eye Mask with Hyaluronic Acid, retail $29

This is an activated charcoal eye mask that is to be used to de-puff and detox your eye area. This little kit contains 5 eye masks, so I’ll certainly be trying them out soon. Love that this was added to the box, because I’ve never tried this brand.

Anthropologie x Mer-Sea & Co Whip Body Cream in “Coconut Sugar”, retail $24

Love lotion. Love the smell. Do I need another lotion? Probably not… but this will be used eventually.

H Halston Jewelry Portfolio, retail $48

I had a few choices to pick from and decided to go with the jewelry portfolio. I currently have a bunch of necklaces just jumbled together on hooks in my bedroom and I think this might be just what I need for packing away those that I don’t wear very often.

Richer Poorer Reina Over the Knee Textured Sock, retail $24

I am super excited about these over-the-knee socks and I wish I had gotten more than one pair! I think these will be great for during the winter when I want to go with bare legs… but not freeze my butt off. I can stick these on with boots to get into work and then take them off and switch to flats for the workday. I think I’m going to love these and will soon be on the hunt for more!

Chic & Tonic I’ll Coast to That! 4-Piece Coaster Set, retail $18

Okay, are you going to say it or do I have to? These look like nipples. And now that I said that, you can’t NOT see the nipples, right?! These are slices of wood with maybe a super light coat of polyurethane.I would like them if they weren’t so nipply. So, I’m thinking I’ll give Jack some paint and let him go wild with making them his own little masterpieces. It will be a fun Christmas break project and honestly anything would be an improvement. Unless he paints on penises.

 Overall Thoughts

For the second quarter in a row, I’m feeling kind of ‘so so’ about my FabFitFun box. Both the throw and the coaster set were total misses for me. I like the creams and masks, but feel like their retail values are super inflated. Also, I’m kind of drown in creams/lotions/masks right now. I’m super excited about the socks though, so there’s that. If the next two boxes don’t impress me, I won’t be renewing this subscription.

Okay, be honest… do you see nipples when you look at the coasters?
