FabFitFun VIP Box

This has been the week of new boxes for me. Besides the Coco Rocha Fancy Box (more on that in the next post!), I found out about the FabFitFun VIP Box through my favorite of all websites, Makeuptalk.

First of all, after some sleuthing, it has been discovered that the FabFitFun VIP Box is DEFINITELY a Popsugar Must Have competitor NOT an associate as some might have surmised. Second, it is interesting because it's 'big' name is Guiliana Rancic (of E! fame) and it apparently concentrates on 4 categories (easily discernable in the name lol): fashion, fitness, wellness, and beauty.

The introductory page is chock full of pictures of great makeup and accessories and here is a screencap of the details shown on FitFabFun Box's intro page:

So, it's a QUARTERLY (not monthly) and is $49.99 for every box, every 3 months. Apparently, a big selling point is that all of the items included in the box are full-size, not samples like the likes of birchbox or glossybox (though gb definitely has included full sizes every month) and there is a promises of lucky winners possibly winning very expensive gifts like ipad minis or designer shoes.

After signing up and paying, there is a relatively short profile quiz that asks about favorite exercise routines (I picked yoga, pilates, and cardio barre), beauty interests and skin, hair, eye colors, and top, pant, and shoe sizes. This is where it gets a bit sticky for some consumers. The top sizes listed only go up to XL and pants up to 14. Fortunately, the shoes go up to 11 (I had to pick 10.5 because yes, I have HUGE feet). So, if you are plus size, you have to be aware (better before signing up than after, am I right?) that these are the only sizes available right now and then measure whether you're willing to take the risk.

All sneak peeks for the inaugural box seem to be showing a box focusing mainly on beauty so that box is definitely all sizes but the the next box (summer?) might have clothing. One of the most interesting parts of this box is the fact that the inaugural box is touted as having a value of approximately $120 AND includes a full size of Moroccan Oil, and also apparently a zoya nail polish (not a huge fan but I'll try it):

Honestly, I'm pretty excited. The cost ratio is pretty good considering the fact that the Moroccan Oil treatment retails at $40 by itself and I like that the box is quarterly so I don't have to worry about adding it to my worryingly large monthly sub box list. There is big buzz around this box and it seems that the inaugural boxes will be shipped out next week. I missed out on about all the inaugural boxes for my other subs so I'm super excited to get to be a part of this one! An item by item review will be posted as soon as I get it and we shall see how awesome it really is.

I'm really edging towards yes and I definitely subbed as soon as I could. You have to see for yourself but if you love Popsugar's Must Have Box, then this could be for you. Especially since it turns out to be cheaper in comparison.
