Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to a fun weekend ahead. We have a wedding reception on Saturday then no plans on Sunday! This is the last weekend of wedding-related festivities for a while and I'm excited.
Today I wanted to talk a bit about the FabFitFun Summer Box that I got! If you haven't purchased a FabFitFun box before, there are two options: Style Quiz or Pick Your Own. For this box, I decided to pick my items because I was being a little picky on which ones I wanted. The way it works is this: Seasonal members get to pick 3 of the items they receive in their box. After that, the items are up to blind availability. If you are an annual (or "select") member, you get to pick 5 of your items and are surprised with your last item(s).
Here are the items from the "all members" category I received:
Item #1: Summersault Neoprene Beach Tote in Blue/Green
I am always a sucker for a good tote bag, so when this option came up from my list of options I was excited. The color is super cute and it's not necessarily a summery color - works for summer, but not limited to summer - so I could easily carry this throughout the year if I wanted to use a tote bag. I am excited to put this to good use when we head over to my in-laws pool. I'm also hoping to use it when we head down to Raleigh next month.
Item #2: Draper James Ruffle Nightie
I am not a huge night gown person, but this one is just sooooo soft. I love that it's lightweight but keeps me warm throughout the night. And it's just so stinking cute - the blue floral is adorable. I am looking forward to wearing this the rest of the summer and into the fall.
Item #3: MALIN & GOETZ Vitamin E Face Moisturizer
I perpetually have issues with my skin being dry through my t-zone and on my cheeks so when this was an item I could pick from the list, I was excited. I've been hearing/reading good things about vitamin E for moisturizing so I jumped on this item as soon as it popped up as one of my options. I'll have to come back and give my feedback on how well it works once I've had a chance to really give it a good try.
------------------------------------------
The next section is the section where only Select members would get to choose their items. I was going in blind to these items no matter what.
Item #4: TF Publishing Co. Brain Teasers and Activity Book Bundle
Aren't these so cute? The brain teasers and activity book bundles are so fun and have a wide variety of things to do in them. I always loved activity books when I was younger so I was excited to see these in my box when I opened it up. If they're any good, I might have to get some as Christmas gifts this year.
Anyone else burn super easily? I burn sooo easily! The joke is I can think about being outside and get a sunburn. So of course, this item is perfect for someone like me that burns even with SPF 50+ on my skin. I am curious to see if this works better than my normal vinegar and aloe concoction I use when I get badly burned at least one or two times a year. {Don't worry - I am actively getting my skin checked every year as an added precaution}.
----------------------------------------------
The rest of the items are items that FabFitFun picks for everyone. You do not get to pick and are surprised with each item! Kinda fun that everyone is on the same playing field for a few of the items.
Item #6: Eyeko, Barefoot, Aria Beauty Bundle
Okay I'm going to break these down individually so it is less confusing.
Up first, Eyeko Double Act Shadow Stick. I am sure the name makes it clear, but this is a double sided eye shadow stick. The colors are similar in shade, but one is lighter than the other. I think this would b perfect for someone who just wants a little something on their eye without the time and energy of doing a full look. My only concern would be if it stays well - I will have to let you all know.
Next up, Barefoot Scientist Pedicure File. To be honest, I am not sure how much use I will get out of this item since I regularly go and get pedicures. It seems like a very high quality item, so I imagine a lot of recipients will be excited about this one, I'm just not sure how much I'll use it.
Last, but definitely not least, Aria Beauty Reusable Makeup Swabs. I am super excited about these! I use q-tips to touch up my makeup all the time and I hate how wasteful they can be at times, so this is a perfect opportunity for me to reduce a little bit of waste. And they come with the cutest travel case! I'm excited to see how well they work and how easy they are to wash.

Final Thoughts
The total value of my box was $291.95! I will say that customizing my boxes makes a difference because I am making sure I get items that I would be interested in using. If for some reason the annual subscription goes on sale (more than the already $20 off they give you) then I might go ahead and sign up just to allow myself earlier access and more customization options.
