Y'all don't hate me for this, but I'm not the biggest fan of spring. The yellow dancing clouds of pollen that follow me? The allergies? No thanks. But the colors? The florals? LOVE. I also just happen to be a fan of FabFitFun's spring box. And today I'm opening it right on up for y'all.
In case you've never heard of it (um... I've been blogging about it for 2 years, so I'm hoping if you have!) it's $49.99 per season. I got the mint box pictured above. Inside is full of items that pertain to the box's name--fab stuff, fit stuff, and fun stuff. Here's what I got:
HelloLegs--Use this lotion for shaving. It really does make legs smooth, but maybe it was my Schick razor?
Bodipure Keratin Gloves & Socks--These disposable socks and booties give you that mani-pedi treatment at home. Leave on 20 min. I've shared similar ones on here before.
Jook & Nona Happy Necklace--You got to pick the word you wanted. I decided to let them decide. I got "happy." I think it was the perfect choice.
Merrithew Mat Strap Plus--This provides resistance in yoga. That's all I know, since I have one experience with yoga. If I get 200 views on my video, I'll tell you the story. Do you love and use these?
Makers Kit Kitchen Herb Garden DIY Kit--Every spring I swear I'm going to make a garden. As hard as I try, my brown thumb shines through. I literally have 1 plant that lives in water, and that's the only reason it's alive! But I will still try this for mint, thyme, and basil.
Ish Contour Palette--Joey Malouf (makeup artist for Rachel Zoe, et al) has his own makeup line. I chose light-medium. Inside is a gorgeous champagne highlight, blush, contour and bronzer. I want to try more.
Jus D'Amour Bath Bomb Trinity--Because sometimes even the beauty guru doesn't want to make her own bath bombs. These smell great. Can't wait to try!
Marrakesh Oil Hair Styling Elixir--Glass bottle (fancy) and a pump (more fancy) AND it smells nice (verrrrry fancy). Can't wait to try this out in my hair!
I also received a couple of gift cards for jewelry places online, but those aren't as exciting, so no pics, hehe.
TOTAL: $282.91!
I also made a quick (3 min) video talking about each product. It's a voiceover, something to mix it up. Let me know what you think!
What product(s) did you find interesting?

- I'm currently testing the Tria Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser DELUXE KIT! I'm trying to minimize my crow's feet. I'll be updating y'all weekly. I'm excited!
So many great things in this box! I've been wanting that yoga strap! Your Happy necklace is so cute and I love the little herb planter!

I loved the herbs in a box from this box - so perfect for smaller spaces! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to figure out how to grow some herbs in our apartment, so maybe I should look into that kit! I liked the voice over video, just something different! Your videos get better and better each time I watch one.
ReplyDeletewhat a great box! I really want to try the Ish contour pallet. I'm on the hunt for a good one. And you don't have crows feet, but I can't wait for the review!

haha! Totally agree about the yellow pollen following me around! How cute is this kitchen garden!? My brown thumb also always seems to shine through. I blame it on lack of sunlight in our house haha!

Such a wonderful content! I love the beauty/makeup they chose and adore the little garden kit - definitely try growing mint, you absolutely CANNOT kill it even if you simply through the seeds in a pot of soil and forget about them. Besides, it smells like heaven and so good in tea. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun box! That little happy necklace is the cutest!

So many great things! I love that necklace, so cute! And that herb garden is perfect! I've been wanting to grow my own herbs but I kill everything! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteI´d love to hear the story behind your yoga experience.

This always seems like one of the best boxes out there- I would have been excited from the herb box alone- so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued how that yoga strap works - I thought it just held a mat :) haha
ReplyDeleteLove that necklace! HAPPY does fit you :)
I would love those gloves... my hands need all the moisture they can get.
What a great box! Love that happy necklace.
ReplyDeleteI have issues with herb growing too-but I keep trying because there is nothing that beats fresh basil in my book. Looks like a great box this season! Those gloves/socks sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of great items. I was shocked later year that I was able to grow basil. I didn't even water it every day and it grow like mad.

That herb kit is so neat! I definitely will have to give the video a listen once I am at home!
ReplyDeleteI have the same love-hate relationship with spring! Bring on all the pretty florals and colors, but the pollen is the worst! Very intrigued by the HelloLegs and Contour Palette. Great for spring <3

What a fun box! All great things to use! That yoga strap would be great for general stretching, I need one bad, I get sore when i go back to pure barre after a break. Can't wait to hear if the crows feet treatment works!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Joey Malouf had his own makeup line. I love him and Rachel Zoe! The palette is gorgeous. I can't wait to watch the video later.
ReplyDeleteWe can still be friends even though spring is my favorite season :) Ha! These look like such fun goodies! I love the necklace, and that hair oil does sound fancy! Good luck with the herb garden--I never have any luck either.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a pretty good box overall! Definitely a wide range of useful stuff.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a great box this month Elle!! That contour palette looks so pretty. Can't wait to watch the video later!
ReplyDeleteI just got my box in the mail as well and I'm so excited! This is one of the small handful of subscription lines I really enjoy! XO

What a fun box!!! It is so appropriate that you got happy :) I need to hear your yoga story! I love the DIY plant stuff because I have been wanting to start my own herb garden. I am thinking about just doing some window seal inside ones. Stay tuned on that haha! Cant wait to hear about this eye treatment that you are doing. The skin around my eyes in my most problematic aging area so I am always on the lookout for things that actually work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute box! I love the garden kit, but I'd probably end up killing everything like I always do. I hope you have better luck! The contour kit also looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI got this box as well and it's such a good one! I can't wait to use the herb garden kit. I don't have much of a green thumb either so I might let my husband tend to it ;p
ReplyDeletei'm not a fan of spring in regards to allergies either.. but i do like that warmer weather is coming! that contour palette looks super pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe Ish Contour Palette looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd bummer re: allergies- that would definitely put a damper on feeling chipper about spring!

I've never heard of Keratin Gloves & Socks but an at-home mani and pedi sound amazing! I've used Keratin hair products but not sure if that has any relation at all. lol
ReplyDeleteI really liked the voice over aspect of this video! Neat! It may just be my audio being crazy, but whenever you stopped talking and it was only music playing, the music got super loud. Again, could just be my audio, but it might be worth checking into?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing how your herb gardening goes. I bet this kit will be the one! :)
Love the palette! The pink is gorgeous. Had no idea he had a line!
ReplyDeleteSo many great things in your box! I love that necklace!

Great box of stuff! That necklace is so cute and I think that herb garden is really cool!
ReplyDelete~Sara
What a great box! The necklace is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat small herb Garden looks so cute! I really want to try it ou!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not a big fan of spring too. For me its just a sign that the rainy season is going away and that, hoinestly, just make me sad

Looks like a decent box. Definitely some products I wouldn't use. But bath bombs are always fun :)
ReplyDeleteLove what you got in this box! I'm not that great with plants either, so let us know if the herbs work out!
