FabFitFun Fall 2020 Box Review

 FabFitFun Fall 2020 Box Review

I haven't reviewed a FabFitFun box in awhile. I skipped over the Spring box and forgot to review my Summer box. This is my review for the Fall 2020 box. I am pretty happy with this box as it has a majority of products I will use.

(L to R: Vitamasques, Spongelle Body Buffer, Beauty Crop Glow Milk, Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel, Stila duo, 8 Other Reasons hair clips, Volition Beauty Green Cream, Daniel Stone Room Spray)


Vitamasques Multivitamin Mask Set


This brand is new to me. This set contains 5 sheet masks. The set retails $30 and is made in Korea. It says: nourish your skin with vitamins B3, B5, B6, C, and E when you use these ultra-thin, fiber sheet masks. Can't wait to try these. 

Spongelle Body Wash Infused Buffer in Sweet Cedarwood

I believe this is a popular product on FabFitFun because I have seen these before. They do sometimes sell them in the add-ons section. It's a body buffer infused with body wash. The scent of this one is good. Looking forward to trying it to see how it works. The product claims to be multi-use.

The Beauty Crop Glow Milk


This brand is also new to me. This is their glow milk highlighter. I may or may not use this. It says it contains argan oil and coconut oil. It comes in a small dropper bottle. I also saw in the FabFitFun magazine they make smoothie crayons for lips. I may pick those up with the FabFitFun discount code provided. In case you wanted to know, its code "FFF30" for 30% off your entire purchase. Valid until 8/1/2021. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel

I have used this product in the past. Anastastia Beverly Hills is a known for their brow products and this one is a winner. Who couldn't use some clear brow gel?

Stila Eyeliner and Mascara

I wanted to pick the Unccomon James storage canisters instead of this duo, but they were all out of stock. This was my second choice. I have used the Stila eyeliner in the past and it is a best seller. Super black with a felt tip, it is long lasting and easy to use. I have never used this mascara before so looking forward to trying.

8 Other Reasons Hair Clips

Really happy I got these. These are super cute and I have been curious about 8 Other Reasons brand. 

Volition Beauty Celery Green Cream

For me, this is the highlight of the box. I choose this product as it has been on my wishlist. The cream retails for $55 which offsets the entire cost of the box ($49.95). It says "celery" cream, but the scent is more like cucumber. It is a a gel cream. Excited to try this.

Daniel Stone Santal Noir Room Spray

Not really excited I got this. The options were this room spray, a pumpkin spice scented room spray from the same brand, sleep mist, and a hair mask from NatureLab.  I would've preferred the hair mask for sure. 

Add-Ons


I got quite a few add-ons this time around. I picked up the other popular Volition Beauty product, the Strawberry C Serum. And I got also two Verso products - their retinol serum and hydration serum. All these products were discounted by 60%. 

That pretty much sums up my fall box.

August 2020 Favorites

 August 2020 Favorites

(L to R: Alpha H Vitamin C Serum, Neutrogena Bright Boost SPF 30, Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment,
By Terry Baume de Rose)

Alpha H Vitamin C Serum: just started using this recently. Purchased mine from CultBeauty. Alpha H is a beauty brand from Australia, I believe. They are more well known for their liquid gold AHA serum rather than this vitamin C serum. In addition to vitamin C, this serum includes grapeseed extract and hyaluronic acid. It feels smooth and not sticky. Absorbs quickly. I didn't find this to sting my skin at all.

By Terry Baume De Rose: I finally took the plunge and got this lip balm despite the high price point, $60 yikes. I did get a discount, so I only paid $45, but still a cringe-inducing price. Its a super thick rich balm that smells like amazingly like roses. Been using this at night for my overnight lip balm and it definitely keeps lips moist and supple.

Neutrogena Bright Boost Moisturizer SPF 30: this is a newer moisturizer from Neutrogena. Their bright boost line also includes a gel cream moisturizer. This is super lightweight, almost like a milk sunscreen and absorbs quickly. It has a light fresh scent. I do prefer to layer this with a vitamin C moisturizer.

Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment: been using this for awhile. This is my second tube. It's a gentle spot treatment for breakouts. Has an herbal scent and contains salicylic acid as its main acne fighting ingredient. It works pretty well.

PMD Clean Review

PMD Clean Review

(PMD Clean in Pink)

So I recently got the pink version of this in my summer Causebox welcome box. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. The PMD Clean retails for $99 but Nordstrom has it on sale for $66 in their Anniversary sale right now. It comes in three colors: pink, teal, and navy. One side has soft silicone bristles for cleansing your face, the other side is a texture sided designed to help massage in serums. It is waterproof and uses a AA battery instead of charging, like the Foreo Luna. It also does not stand up by itself. It comes with a small plastic stand that enables it to stand up by your sink. The device is waterproof and has 4 vibrating modes.

Below, a look at the box description. Product comes with a one year manufacturer's warranty. 


A closer look at the device itself. The cleansing side has small soft nubs. Massaging side has ridges. Bottom comes unscrewed for the battery. Device is waterproof. Includes small plastic cup for standing.



Bottom line, I think I prefer the Foreo Luna over this device as I feel I can get a little more pressure and better cleansing with it than this.
