3 Things We Didn’t Include in Our Box This Season

By | March 15, 2017

Did you know that four products in the Spring Box are free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates?

These artificial ingredients are used regularly in the beauty industry, whether it’s as a binding agent or to make products sudsier (aka it’s not that great for your body).

But here’s how your Spring Box products will up your beauty game without the artificial ingredients!

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator
This exfoliator uses aluminum oxide crystals and soothing botanicals to polish and smooth skin and reveals a healthy and radiant complexion.

Karuna Hydrating+ Face Mask
These sheet masks use aloe vera and Chinese licorice to hydrate, soothe, and detoxify skin.

Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray
This uses rosehip, argan, and coconut oils to nourish split ends and protect hair from UV rays.

RealHer Lip Kit
These lip products use shea butter and jojoba seed oil to combat dryness and nourish lips.

I completely agree. ?

m_e_r_1980 Sep 30, 2017 at 7:17 am

The spring box had the option for the after workout massage oil and the winter box had a gym bag.

Diana Sep 23, 2017 at 12:14 pm

I also received what I wouldn't have picked for myself... I LOVE rose gold, so of course I got the bracelet. Same with the lip color. I don't care for nude--would have loved the red. I would totally exchange with someone if we were able to contact each other but they don't include email addresses so we can't do that. Oh well. I'm still waiting for my Fall box. If I feel let down by it, I'll be canceling too. It's a shame. I love getting a surprise box. The items I don't like I'm going to gift to my Mom, Sis, and friends for Christmas, so not a total loss.

Gypsy Sep 09, 2017 at 3:18 am

What about the gym bag...? like the different things in the box... looking forward to my first box.

Gracie Sep 02, 2017 at 7:24 am

Totally agree Cathy! I want FUN stuff, not something requiring work & sweat! This is my treat, not my responsibility.

wenco777 Sep 01, 2017 at 9:20 pm

Yes!

Billie jo Aug 27, 2017 at 1:12 pm

Well said

Orianna Panko Aug 07, 2017 at 2:08 pm

I live in Canada too and am about to order FFF. Are there things that are omitted for Canadians? Does this happen often?

Orianna Panko Aug 07, 2017 at 2:05 pm

I am about to order FFF What do you mean by online access. Is that not the only way to order?

miller.lori101 Jun 22, 2017 at 11:40 am

Me too excited for summer box.only wish it would come fed ex or ups.hate going to the post office to pick it up.cause it's not fitting in the mail box.thats my only complaint.

bcrandall60 Jun 17, 2017 at 9:04 am

I agree with y'all, red is hideous on me. Haven't tried the earrings yet, but liked the bracelet better.

Rita May 16, 2017 at 6:42 pm

I got the earrings and 1 wore them for one day and they turned my ears green.... very unhappy!!

ssulivan1 May 15, 2017 at 11:34 pm

I completely agree with you!

Misty May 06, 2017 at 7:21 am

Damn what a bunch is complainers. So cancel your subscription. I got the nude lip kit...not at all what I would have chosen for myself, I'd have chosen the red, but sometimes it's good to step outside your typical comfort zone. I usually layer it with another color.

judith May 06, 2017 at 6:23 am

I love all my boxes! I received a nude color lip collection and i am an avid wearer of red (my Favorite color). I agree with you Cathy i too give items away if I am not fond of them. I have a daughter, sisters and nieces who love their boxes and we mix and match what we get. And share the love of FFF with other friends and family members. XOXO

Stella Abrams May 06, 2017 at 3:20 am

I agree! Loved my box ! Anything I don't use , went into box I keep for gifts! Looking forward to summer box !

Cindy May 02, 2017 at 1:13 pm

I started with the pay as you go and did not get a choice of lipstick or of the roundie. (And I read my email.) I would not have chosen the red lipstick, but I got the red. :( I also filled out the profile and put that I preferred neutrals. I got the bracelet and I would have preferred the earrings. I am petite and the bracelet is HUGE on me. I also do not wear gold or rose gold. The lipstick and bracelet were the only things I was extremely disappointed in. I just went ahead and upgraded hoping that I get to choose my preferences on the next box. Hoping for a better box for summer.

Joanne May 01, 2017 at 4:10 am

I have received the Winter and editors box which I was pleased with. The spring box ehh. The lipstick in nude was my preferred color but as someone mentioned it is tacky. Love the gummie vitamins, leave in hair treatment,face mask and scrub. The bag is cute and will be used. Love the round beach blanket just not the color choice.. the spring box wasnt a complete FAIL, overall content value def exceeds the cost of box - I dont feel like I was ripped off. I will continue to receive, I am excited for the summer box.

nlong53 Apr 23, 2017 at 10:59 am

I do not wear or like red lipstick.

Jody K Apr 22, 2017 at 10:39 am

I am in total agreement ! I would NEVER wear RED LIPSTICK! Nude would have been a better pick and useable! Other than that, I liked the box. ????

Elizabeth Apr 21, 2017 at 11:45 am

I pay as I go and got the option to choose as well. Maybe people aren't checking their email

Elizabeth Apr 21, 2017 at 11:42 am

Contact fabfitfun and they will replace your missing earring.

Elizabeth Apr 21, 2017 at 11:40 am

You can fill your profile out, I believe there is a option for that. I set things aside for gifting if it's not my thing, or I already have a color. Like the nail polish, I got my ipsy bag and it had a blue shade, and my fabfitfun box has a set of two blue shade. I kept the better one from fabfitfun and regift the other!

wendy.guma Apr 21, 2017 at 6:13 am

Have the red lip kit.. anyone willing to swap?

Karine Apr 18, 2017 at 10:56 pm

I got the nude kit and the color looks horrible with my skin tone. The liquid lipstick is also very sticky and if you press your lips together, it peels. It's not great...the lip gloss is sheer, so I can use that!

mgward57 Apr 10, 2017 at 4:11 pm

I was very disappointed in this box did not like the red lip stick don't no anyone that wears it the nude would have been better the ear rings look like they came out of a crackerjack box I thing I will be canceling out its not worth the money. Patricia ward

shaggygrrl@gmail.com Apr 10, 2017 at 1:12 pm

Heya folks! Looks like a lot of people didn't like the red lip shade... I was disappointed not to get that! Anyone who lives in Canada want to exchange with me??

Lorna Apr 10, 2017 at 11:44 am

I was terribly disappointed by the earrings. What a joke that the listed value is $85! They're cheap pieces of garbage - they look like I got them at some teenybopper accessories store. Also, I live in Canada and I see that we were not sent the gummies. That seems like a rip-off to me, since with our exchange rate, we pay a hell of a lot for our boxes.

Marie Apr 10, 2017 at 6:48 am

I totally agree that our mind needs to be fit along with our body. I loved both winter and spring boxes without the fitness item....I can get those on my own. I have to also agree that the red shade of lipstick was a nonstarter....waaaay toooo red. Loved the pink from the winter box tho.

Cathy Apr 10, 2017 at 6:06 am

I agree very very disappointed in this box. The lip stuff was horrible I threw it out.And what was up with the round table cloth? Defiantly not a good box I loved the winter to spring one that was my first But I will will give the subscription a year don't want to judge to quickly.

Trisha Thomas Apr 09, 2017 at 5:06 pm

I also would have preferred the nude color because I do not like red, and I have no one to gift it to.....

aprilrebroker Apr 09, 2017 at 10:54 am

I got the nude and I was super happy about the color but disappointed in the way it wears. Super sticky, like it was made by Wet n Wild or a pre teen makeup company..

Diane Apr 08, 2017 at 8:01 pm

I agree! I received the red also and I hate it. I also do not know anyone who wears red lip color. I would have been happier with the nude shade.

marc2wot Apr 08, 2017 at 7:01 pm

I was very disappointed this time around. I was given the choice of lip color and jewelry, but received the opposite from what checked. I received earrings instead of the bracelet, but I can't wear earrings. I received the red lip color instead of the nude, but that isn't a color I would ever wear. Why ask then?

Carissa Apr 08, 2017 at 6:19 pm

I completely agree. I only wanted this subscription to be able to try new fitness tools, not to look up workouts I could find online for free.

MiMi Apr 08, 2017 at 4:30 pm

I didn't get to choose my roundie and mine is ugly along with red ?, I Will try summer box and if it's not much better I will cancel also , the Winter box was great.

kmcclafferty69 Apr 08, 2017 at 4:07 pm

LOVE the spring box! Dont know what the complaining is about. It's super easy to cancel if you don't like your box lol lol.

jennpassarelli Apr 08, 2017 at 2:43 pm

I would so much rather a free yoga or barre class online over a hula hoop or jump rope. Try the classes they are really good.

jennpassarelli Apr 08, 2017 at 2:38 pm

We were given a choice, nude or red lipstick color, bracelet or earrings, and which roundie color we wanted. I love the dr Brandt face scrub, already used the roundie as a wrap and the nude gloss is always in my purse. I'm very happy with my membership. However, I do have the upgraded membership which is just pay full price at once. Maybe those members are given the options before the box ships, and that's pretty messed up. We should all be able to personalize what we get.

jennpassarelli Apr 08, 2017 at 2:26 pm

I was able to pick red or nude, was that not an option for you?

Jen Bogart Apr 08, 2017 at 1:34 pm

My round throw is hideous...want it?

Jen Bogart Apr 08, 2017 at 1:25 pm

Same. I hate the red shade. It went in the trash along with most of this box. It was such a huge disappointment, that I cancelled my membership.

Tracy Apr 08, 2017 at 1:09 pm

This was my first box and I did love everything in it except the fact that they sent me red for the lip color. I love my nudes. Reds just do not look good on me at all. Practically anybody can do nudes but reds are not for everybody.

ffadule Apr 08, 2017 at 10:10 am

I also agree, I would like to gift the red but I don't know anyone that uses it, the nude was the way to go in this instance.

Deb Elligson Apr 08, 2017 at 5:43 am

I soooo agree with you here. Upside is I will gift it along but nude would have been a better item for all I am sure.

Lisa Apr 08, 2017 at 3:09 am

The gummies were a sponsor item and were not included in the Canadian boxes, however since they are sold in Canada (saw at Costco yesterday) I am not sure why the sponsor couldn't have included? Loved everything in th box though! Definitely will get the summer box also and perhaps one as a gift for my daughter.

Christine Apr 08, 2017 at 2:36 am

The red lip kit was horrendous!! I specifically noted NO RED for lips. The rest of the box was great! Loved everything else. This is my first box, so we'll see how this goes. ??

Misty Apr 08, 2017 at 1:50 am

Isn't the fitness channel considered "fitness" that we all got.??

Linda Apr 07, 2017 at 10:32 pm

I was SUPER disappointed in the lipstick shade. I received the bright red which is not a color I would ever wear. There was a beautiful nude color that would be more appropriate when you do not know anything about the recipients color pallet.

Lorraine Apr 07, 2017 at 9:55 pm

The spring box is my second, a couple of things were great and other things were a bit disappointing. I was not as excited as all the hype led me to believe I would be. I also chose some add on's and one was a mystery box, not impressed at all with what they sent ?. I hope the next boxes are more exciting. I agree, no makeup, with exception of a great lip gloss?, makeup is a more personal choice and being sent makeup is just a waste of my $$. I want really cool unique things .

Letha Apr 07, 2017 at 9:52 pm

Loved The Editor's Box! My Spring one...not so much!

Cara Apr 07, 2017 at 9:38 pm

The Spring box was my first box and I'm absolutely satisfied with all that is in it! I'm excited to see what comes in my Summer box! ?

Leana Apr 07, 2017 at 8:30 pm

I still have not received my box :( I was billed 3 weeks ago and it says awaiting shipment. I emailed cutomer service and no reply. Grrrr.- very frustrated.

Angela Apr 07, 2017 at 8:07 pm

Cancelled my subscription because the Spring box is nearly useless. I hate the "beach" throw (I live in Alaska, where did they think I would use it?). I hate the lip kit (deep reds, which I said I did NOT want). The earrings are cheap. I got some body buffer infused with shower gel and body polish that would be more appropriate for a 14-year old girl. Just really, really irritated at having paid almost $60 and getting almost nothing useful. Done with this subscription box service.

Julie Apr 07, 2017 at 7:42 pm

Loved the winter box. Spring box... not so much. The ratings are cheap and horrid, the beach sheet that I couldn't wait for... hate the color, so boring! A lot of money for a lot of things that aren't worth the money and won't be used ?

scos1115 Apr 07, 2017 at 7:35 pm

This was my first box too and I loved it. I can't wait for the next one.

Cari Barnes Apr 07, 2017 at 7:14 pm

I was wondering why I didn't receive the gummies in my box. I agree if they can't be sent it should be replace with another item.

Barbara Apr 07, 2017 at 7:01 pm

I agree too, with the lip color, I hate red lip stick, it's just sitting on my vanity still in box. And agree with the ear ring comment also, I'm allergic to fake golds so I knew right away they were not as stated. They are very fake. And this is only my 2nd box, I loved the winter one.

Isabella Apr 07, 2017 at 6:59 pm

This was my first box and I LOVE IT! I got the tie-dye round throw that I wanted and the lip kit color that I wanted as well.. I guess I am blessed. I cannot wait to see what the summer box has in it! ✌??

trbuck0407 Apr 07, 2017 at 6:31 pm

Loved my Spring Box! So many great items! I can completely understand the complaints about colors if you give them your personal likes and get the opposite.

Shelly Reyes Apr 05, 2017 at 12:46 pm

Love this Spring Box!! Bought it because of the clean ingredients and happy with my bracelet, nude lip kit and the round throw.

Shelly Reyes Apr 05, 2017 at 12:46 pm

Love this Spring Box??

anmanwar Apr 05, 2017 at 7:02 am

GREAT spring box! Love all items included!!

Sarah Apr 04, 2017 at 5:48 pm

Cathy I could not of said it better. I've found all my boxes to be fabulously, fun, and fit for not just my body, but mind to. I myself purchased the hula hip and other fitness items as add-ons. I am loving the extra fitness videos along with added articles on healthy food, skin, and hair.

Camille Apr 03, 2017 at 4:33 pm

I didn't get the gummies in my box :( maybe they got subbed with something else?

Cathy Gibson Apr 03, 2017 at 7:42 am

Skin, Hair and Mind need to be FIT too! People always find something to complain about! Go buy yourself a jump rope or a hula hoop to use while taking the vitamins that came in the box! I'm personally happy with my box. And the things I dont want, are now gifts for stuffing xmas stockings! Its a win win! And its very easy to cancel if your that unhappy!

Tianna Apr 02, 2017 at 8:24 pm

Was really looking forward to receiving the gummys to try, but read that we didn't get them because of the Canadian border. Wish something else could have been put in to replace them instead of us losing out on an item. Otherwise i've really liked this box so far!

Jennifer Apr 02, 2017 at 2:53 pm

L.o.v.e. This BOX:)

Nicole Apr 02, 2017 at 2:15 pm

Really disappointed in my Spring box. I've been a member for 2 years now and this was by far the worst box ever. I hate red lipstick and the lip kit is really sticky. Also I picked the bracelet but got earrings, can't wear these earrings because I have sensitive ears. Also the leave in hair conditioner is crap, left my hair feeling gross and heavy. Hopefully the summer box is better, and please add something for fitness again.

Ashley Apr 02, 2017 at 9:35 am

I received the lip kit in red and red simply does not work with my face or skin tone, I don't see the point in filling out my profile with colours when they probably don't even look at it, I just thought ah well that's my rotten luck working again I just knew I was getting red somehow

Jeanette Apr 02, 2017 at 8:52 am

I was happier with the Winter compared to Spring...My bracelet broke pretty easily...But the necklace in the winter box is great Hoping for a fab summer box

Jeanette Apr 02, 2017 at 8:51 am

I was happier with the Winter compared to Spring...My bracelet broke pretty easily... Hoping for a fab summer box

Sheila Apr 02, 2017 at 8:04 am

I was a bit disappointed with the Spring Box too....I received the red lip trio and I definitely do not do reds and no fitness item....I agree, online access does not count!

nancycastellomk Apr 02, 2017 at 7:56 am

There are supposed to be a set of earrings.. they say they are 14k rose gold, but they are not, they later said they are bronze plated..?

lo2kroro Apr 01, 2017 at 5:05 pm

I hear ya.

lisamyoung2 Apr 01, 2017 at 11:37 am

I agree %100. I don't do reds either and that is what I got tio

Lori Apr 01, 2017 at 6:19 am

My box is coming today and yes I feel same , what is point of filling out colors you wear if they send red! Let's see what comes I know it will be red and I will be thinking of canceling bc I don't get neutrals to try .

Katrina Lisik Mar 31, 2017 at 9:11 pm

I was really disappointed with my spring box and think I may cancel after the summer box. I got earrings with my spring box, or at least I think it was earrings as only one came in the box. I also got the deep red lipstick pack. I don't wear red and when I filled out my likes I had nudes on there. I don't want to continue to pay money for things I won't use or are unable to use. Dissappointed?

laura.miley@att.net Mar 29, 2017 at 4:51 am

I loved the spring box and am very happy with what I received. With the value I just can't understand people wanting to cancel. It's like Christmas every 3 months.

Jennifer Mar 28, 2017 at 9:29 pm

This is my first box and I am very happy with everything in my Spring box. I cannot wait to try out all these goodies. Thank you!!

Donna Mar 28, 2017 at 7:40 pm

I have two subscription boxes left and if the results are same as I had with this spring one I will be cancelling before renewal takes place.

Leah Mar 28, 2017 at 4:34 pm

they seem to be slipping. I have seen a lot of comments and posts with disappointed customers and even people who are cancelling ... hopefully the pull it together for the summer box and make it a good one!

Jen Mar 28, 2017 at 1:02 pm

Haha, I could have sworn that a (physical) fitness item was going to be on this list. Both the Winter box and now the Spring box have been without one. Online membership/access does not count. Perhaps a name change for the box is in order???
