Good day everyone, 

                        I hope that everyone’s week went great and if it was just okay, I’m sorry and I hope that next week is better.

            I think I am finally moving on the upswing of my funk and I really happy for that knowing that maybe my posting schedule will actually remain consistent. I try to keep everything light and fun on the blog so I have been dealing with some things behind the scenes that have really been taking it all out of me and I am getting better and some days that’s all you can hope for. I feel like I have been saying that in almost every post for the last month because it’s been a hard time for me recently and I have been letting it get the best of me. That however is not what this post is about and I don’t want it to be about that because I don’t want to bring others down with my problems. So here we are almost into July. (what?) 

I am moving in July and then again in September or October, the apartment I am waitlisted for should be available in that time frame and my lease in the dumpster fire I live in now is up in the middle of the July so I am going to stay with my parents and the poodles for a few months in the meantime. So if my posting is a little sporadic, you know unlike my usual schedule, I mean really, it’s because I am in the process of moving my entire life and then moving back again in a few months. It’s going to be a time y’all, it’s going to be a time. 

So onto the actual content of this post, I got my summer FabFitFun box on the same day I got my July Glam Bag from ipsy but that post was just easier to write because it’s a rather quick process that I have gotten used to now. 

            This box felt a little different than boxes in the past and I think that was because I didn’t pick any of the larger items and I felt like there was actually more in the box because of it, that could just be me and my experience but I was not unhappy about it. The value was anywhere between roughly $270-$468 and like usual I am not going to tell you the value of my box because I think that is tacky but I will say mine was on the higher end of the spectrum there. 

            What was in the box?

Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream & Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel

            I chose this one because I bought the Coconut Cabana cream a few months ago and I have been seeing this Brazilian Bum Bum cream for years now so I figured, when given the choice I chose this one. The smell is amazing and it came as a set with the Bum Bum cream and Shower Cream so I was really excited to get this in my box. The lotion feels really moisturizing and a little bit goes a long way, and my hands smell amazing. This is the smaller size cream (2.5 fl oz or 75 ml for the rest of the world), you can also get a larger cream (8.1 fl oz. or 240 ml) at places like Sephora or the Sol De Janeiro website. The shower cream-gel is 13 fl oz. or 385 ml and is sulfate free and according to their website they do not test on animals and they are vegan (accept for a few products) which everyone by now should know I am a huge fan of! I love the packaging of both products I their general color scheme is orange, teal, and white and it’s simple but it’s so recognizable. The other choices for this option were a travel blow dryer from Sutra Professional, a kimono robe from Spiritual Gangster (great name!), and a lotus towel from Vix Paula. 

111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask (Set of 5)

            This right here is the reason that my box was on the higher end of the price spectrum, this set of five is valued at like $160 and that is absolutely insane! Like I looked up the brand and I can understand why they are so pricy and I love me a good face mask, I normally however buy ones that are under about $5 so having the option to pick this I jumped on it because I am sucker for good skin care. I haven’t even opened the box yet because I feel like when I do angels will pop out and sing to me because they are so boujee (that is never a word I thought I would type out in my entire life outside of a fictional novel, like never in my real life but here it is.) I am excited to give them a try and because I have sensitive skin I am hoping that they are as good as the price point claims them to be. The other options for this were the tie-dye bowls from West Elm (I have so many bowls, though they were super cute!), the XO, Sienna felt letter board, or the Summer and Rose navy diamond tote (summer and rose had the beach towel from last summer). 

Jennifer Zeuner Star Double Necklace

            This was another choice product but for this one I didn’t make a selection I don’t think I said just pick one for me but I got the Star Double necklace from Jennifer Zeuner and it is so delicate and beautiful. I do not wear much jewelry but whenever jewelry comes in my FabfitFun box I usually love it because it is just really simple and beautiful. It has four length options, the smallest fits very much like a choker on me and it just gets longer from there. I will say this, because it is a double chain you have to be really careful to not get it tangled and because of that, for now it is going to stay on the cardboard it came on so it doesn’t get ruined in my moving process. The other options for this were the Burn 60 Resistance Bands, and the Odeme What a Pair set of silicone wine glasses. 

Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream

            I have heard of this brand for years now but I have never had anything from it before because it is on the pricier side but I have heard really good things about it. I will say this the packaging is simple and it smells great. It claims to block humidity and where I live we are now into the throws of summer where humidity is a thing at all times. The other options that were available for select members to choose from and just chosen for everyone else were the Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner or a mystery item.

Coola Organic SPF 30 Makeup Setting Sunscreen Spray

            Coola is a brand that has been in my life for about a year now and I really like it. I have gotten into setting sprays as well so this is just another thing to add to my collection. It is vegan and cruelty free so again a fan of it. It is SPF 30 so it will protect your skin and I am excited to give it a real chance as a setting spray in the future. The other options for this were the Doctor Rogers Restore healing balm or the Intelligent Nutrients Refining Micro Polish.

Invisibobble Original Duo Pack

            From here on out all of these products were I can only use half of these because I am not blonde, I will probably give the blonder tone ones to my mom. I used one just to see if it really didn’t pull any hair out, it did pull some hair out because I know that I use a hair tie all the time and I grew up in the 90’s so these ponytail holders were a thing that I saw a lot as a kid but all I remember was the fact that all they did was rip out hair.

Generation Clay Ultra Violet Brightening Purple Clay Mask

            It’s purple, like that is something that is just really impressive to me, purple is my favorite color so having a purple, almost violet clay mask is just really cool. I am hoping that because it is clay that it doesn’t affect my skin like clay masks in the past have. 

Grace & Stella Rose Facial Spray

            Rose water is just something that I always have on my bathroom counter because I use it quite frequently, I have been using Soo’AE’s for about the last year so I to get this I was actually really excited to have it around. I don’t know what else to say about this one but I’m exicted.

Whish Exfoliating Foot Mask

            Foot mask, now that is something that is interesting and something I have never done, now this one doesn’t smell the best but I feel like foot creams don’t. I am intrigued to try this and its vegan and cruelty free so that’s always a plus. 

            Overall I really like the box and I feel like I don’t need to say much else, I am always a fan of getting my FabFitFun box so this is just another pretty positive review for this box. If you want to see what was in the Spring box this year, you can!
