Zumba.com Giftcard ($25)
I haven't ever done Zumba before, but I've heard it's really fun. I'm a little scared to take my lack of rhythm to a Zumba class and shake my booty in front of a group of people. I haven't tried this DVD yet, but I'm excited to try it in the privacy of my home. I wouldn't have bought this myself, so I'm glad I got it. I looked around the Zumba.com shop and I think I'll end up using this for some fitness towels or a water bottle. You can never have too many of those!
I'm super excited about this. Salted is described as the "Netflix for cooking." I love to cook, and I'm always excited to try new techniques. Is anyone else addicted to watching Chopped? Yeah, me neither. :) I'm hoping that this doesn't expire any time soon. We are hopefully moving in a few months and I'd like to wait until we get into the new house to try it out.
This is some of the thickest, most nourishing hand cremes I've ever used. I get really dry skin in the winter, and this has done an excellent job of moisturizing. It doesn't have much of a smell, which is nice.
Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel (Value $39)
Admittedly, I haven't tried this yet. I keep meaning to, but get distracted or just forget. I expected it to smell like green apple, but it's decidedly more mediciny than I had hoped. This is a little more than I'd normally pay for a facial peel or mask, so let's hope it lives up to it's price tag.
Never in my life have I paid $42 for a candle, so I probably wouldn't buy this on my own. Gardenia isn't my favorite scent, so I'll probably gift this. That being said, it's still a great addition to the box.
HalfUnited Necklace ($34)
Half United recycles bullet casings and turns them into jewelry to fight hunger. For every product purchased, they give a week's worth of meals to hungry child. It's a great cause and a neat necklace, but it's just not my style. I get the bullet concept, but I think I'd feel weird wearing it around. My sister loves to hunt though, so I think it will make a great gift for her.
I'm trying to get better about using anti-aging eye cream. There are so many choices in stores that I get a little overwhelmed, so I was excited to see this included. It goes on really smooth and it's a bit cooling at the same time. I don't know if it will keep me younger, but it at least makes me feel like I'm doing something.
I hate to be negative, but this was just plain gross. I wanted to like it, but it just didn't happen for me. I'm not a fan of protein shakes or protein powder in general though, so it might be good to someone who actually enjoys protein shakes.
Justin's Almond Butter (Value $0.60)
This is a great travel size snack. Almond butter is always a great thing to have on hand so I don't make an unhealthy choice. (Here's looking at you, donuts!)
Special K Salted Pretzel Chocolate Bar (Value ~$0.50)
It's a diet version of salted caramel, so it tasted about as good as you'd expect. I'd eat it again, but I probably wouldn't go in search of these.
Fashion Project Gift Card (Value $30)
Fashion Project is like a thrift store for lightly used high-fashion items. They have some great clothes and accessories, but $30 won't buy much on the site. Since it's a secondhand store, sizes and styles are limited. Many of the clothes were in the size 0-4 range, which I most definitely am not. I might surf around and hope to score a scarf or something small like that.
YourMinerals Mineral Eyeshadow- Swedish Winter & Lavender Dream (Value $42)
Mineral eye shadow is always a great addition to subscription boxes. This white shimmery color must be really popular this year, because I've seen it everywhere. It's a great color to add over the top of others or just to wear alone. The Lavender color is nice, but doesn't look great on me. I'll probably set it aside for a giveaway or gift it to my sister.
I was really pleased with the FabFitFun box overall.
What I loved:
- Great customer service! When I looked at the information card (which I forgot to take a picture of), I realized they had left off my eyeshadows. It wasn't a big deal, but I contacted them using the form on their website. I had a reply within a day and my eyeshadows within a week.
- Great variety of products, including some I wouldn't normally choose for myself.
- Great value. Even without the products that I will give away or didn't like, I more than doubled the value of my subscription. I'll definitely get this box again.
What I wasn't crazy about:
- I'm not crazy about their website, but hopefully they'll improve that as even more people use the service.
- A few of the food choices were gross or just so-so for me. That may just be a preference thing, though.
Total value of this box: Approximately $375!
