With names like “Hunnay,” “Boss B,” and “YASS Queen,” you better be prepared to bring out your inner Sasha Fierce when you step into WinQ Lash Bar on Comm Ave in Brookline. The motto? Book. Nap. Slay. (snap!) I didn’t really understand what that meant… until I experienced a full-on lash extension session. Let me tell you, it’s an experience. One that frankly, I was completely clueless about!
When I’m leaving the house, no matter what my destination is (the beach, grocery store, dinner…), I’m always wearing two things: earrings and a ring. While I’m much more adventurous with my earrings, I still have my “old faithfuls”.
I need to start off by saying…I’ve been keeping a secret. Not on purpose though! But I realized the other day that I needed to share it (it’s just not fair not to).
When I was young, I remember reading an article once that said, our skin looses elasticity beginning in our mid-20’s. So, the day I turned 23, I started using anti-aging products on my face religiously. Just in case! Seven years later, it’s still part of my daily routine.
Subscription boxes are all the rage right now. And for good reason! They’re convenient, they allow you to try multiple items at one time, and what’s in the box is always a surprise. (Who doesn’t like those!?)
You can pretty much get a box for just about anything. For the fashionista: Stitch Fix. For the beauty junkie: Birchbox. For the foodie: Hello Fresh. And then…there’s FabFitFun.
Unlike most boxes, the FabFitFun box has a mix of everything. Well, not everything, but a lot of stuff! I’ve been eyeing this box for some time, but I hadn’t pulled the trigger. Frankly, I wasn’t sure the box would be worth it. (It’s $49.99 per box – pst, discount below!) But after a friend gushed about how amazing her recent box was (shout out to LJ!), I had to check it out for myself.
Before you can get your box, you’re asked to fill out a quick style profile. This is so that the stylists at FFF can get an idea of your personal likes and dislikes so that down the line, they can customize your box. It took me just a few minutes to fill out my profile and my first box was on its way!
About a week later…I had the most gorgeous package waiting for me on the porch.
Alright, let’s get to it. So, what’s in the box?
Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray by Briogeo
This leave-in treatment is super light-weight and is fortified with rosehip, argan and coconut oils to keep your locks hydrated and soft. Smells lovely, too!
Deep Nude Lip Kit by RealHer
This kit comes with a lip liner, plumping gloss and a liquid matte lipstick. This alone is worth what I paid for the box! I love the nude color, too. I have a hard time finding nude shades that I like, but this one is awesome. It’s the perfect “everyday” shade.
Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator by Dr. Brandt
It’s recommended that you only exfoliate 1-2 times a week, when using a microderm formula, so I’ve only used it once so far, but my skin has never felt so smooth and looked so bright! This specific formula contains aluminum oxide crystals and smoothing botanicals to polish away dead cells.
“Joshua Tree” Cage Bracelet by Emerald Duv
This cuff is so chic and simple, the perfect addition to any outfit.
Roundie by Gypsy 05
This beautiful piece of art can be used at the beach, a picnic, or hung as a tapestry. My choice: beach. Definitely. And, it’s HUGE, so there’s definitely room for two. Or three!
Zip Pouch by Milly
Speaking of the beach, this little pouch is the perfect bag to toss all your essentials into when hitting the sand. Sometimes I don’t want a huge beach bag, but of course I need my phone and lip gloss – that’s where this guy comes in.
Hydrating+ Face Mask by Karuna
This deep-conditioning mask is packed full of nourishing ingredients for the ultimate hydration. It’s made of 100% natural wood-pulp fiber (so cool!), so it allows your pores to absorb every drop!
Nail Polish Set by Deborah Lippmann
This set is spring in a bottle. The white color is called “Like a Virgin” (fitting), and the soft pink is called “Shape of My Heart”. The duo make for a perfect #ManiMonday.
Hair, Skin and Nails Gummies by Nature’s Bounty
Packed with Biotin (the stuff that makes your hair and nails tough!), these Strawberry-flavored gummies are too good. Seriously. They’re like Pringles! Once you pop, you just can’t stop! But you must. They’re a vitamin, not a candy. (A reminder to myself!)
So there you have it! That’s the Spring 2017 FabFitFun box. The way that this subscription service works is on a seasonal basis, so the next box will be the Summer 2017 box. *Though the Spring box is still available now – for a limited time!
If you’re interested in checking out FabFitFun, you can get $10 off your first box, making it only $39.99! Seriously, it’s a total steal (see above). Want in? Use this link to get the deal, and reap the rewards!
