As part of my New Year's resolution to "Love Myself," I got myself a little gift that keeps on giving c/o FabFitFun! What better way to kick off this bliggity-blog but with a quick haul post?
They now start all new subscribers off with what they call The Welcome Box. Here's a pic of how it comes. (Except, I may or may not have chugged the delicious Dark Chocolate-Organic Protein Shake before I remembered to snap a picture. Just keepin' it real...)
The Welcome Box includes:
1. WREN- 14 kt Rose Gold Dipped Heart Necklace with Black Sapphire Accent
2. Passport to Beauty- 0.5 fl oz Tibetan Goji Berry Eye Serum

7. Organic Valley- Organic Balance Milk Protein Shake in Dark Chocolate
8. *BONUS*- $25 gift card to www.shoptiques.com
Total Retail Value: $315.95
My favorite product by far is the Tibetan Goji Berry Eye Serum. I thought I had found my lifelong favorite eye cream over at Kiehls. Good thing I can admit when I'm wrong. This stuff is amazing. It is so gentle and I wish I had taken a before and after to prove it, but I'm certain the "anti-aging" is doing its thing. I've definitely noticed the fine lines around my eyes have diminished. It's paraben free and even more important- full of lots of other skin-loving ingredients. I give it two thumbs way up even though the $88 price tag is more than I would usually spend. The good news is you get a 20% off code to buy more thanks to being a fabfitfun member!
I found my love for this rose gold necklace a bit surprising. I don't generally love hearts. At. All. But, I do love rose gold, so I decided to give it a try and now I've found myself reaching for it multiple days in a row. The length is just right to layer up with other pieces and the tiny sapphire accent is great. I personally wouldn't spend the $100 that it's valued at, but the quality is great and it truly is beautiful.
The Gorge spray was like a little gift from the hair gods for my newly processed blonde that was struggling to fight the frizz during this frigid winter. The best part, though? The smell. Sweet heavens, the smell. I wish I could take a bath in it. Have it in candle form... you get the idea.
The Frends earbuds are surprisingly comfy. I thought they looked a bit bulky and was afraid they'd hurt my ears, but so far, so good! I wish they were wireless considering the $80 price tag, but I can't deny the comfort, style and sound, so they still get a positive rating.
Now, for the parts I didn't love:
The Zoya nail polish. The color is lovely, and I appreciate the eco-friendly and health conscious product, but it just didn't deliver for me. I found that it chipped easily, coverage was thin, and the brush didn't spread nicely.
The Cosmobody jump rope is nothing fancy. I'm 6 ft tall, so I found it a bit short. I also hate jump roping. So, I admittedly didn't put a whole lot of effort into loving it. I just happily handed it off to my daughter, who thinks it's fabulous!
The Shoptiques gift card. Holy. Hannah. Maybe my midwest is showing here, but I found the majority of the website to be grossly overpriced. There were a few good finds and I did end up settling on this new jacket from the sale section, so it wasn't a complete loss.
All in all, I think FabFitFun is a great concept and even if you deduct the value of my 3 no-gos, it's STILL a great deal.
Go. Buy. Love.
