8 Founders Reveal Their Best Hacks for Using Their Products

By The FabFitFun Team | November 11, 2020

When it comes to the beauty and fashion industry, there are so many sources offering the best tips, tricks, and hacks — so much so that it can be overwhelming and hard to know what actually works.

That’s why we turned straight to the founders of eight of our favorite products featured in the Winter Box. We asked them to share advice on how best to use the items they helped create.

TULA SKINCARE Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm

“It’s a true multitasking product as I love to use it on my cheeks and high points of my face for an added glow.” – Dr. Roshini Raj, founder of TULA SKINCARE

Vera Bradley Compact Organizer

“This hold-it-all organizer is the perfect piece for carrying essentials: pens, pencils, chargers, and even my toothbrush! I can toss it into a bigger bag or carry it by itself wherever I go.” – Beatrice Mac Cabe, chief creative officer of Vera Bradley

LOLI™ Tea Seed Elixir

“You can use [this] as your organic oil in so many skin, body, and hair DIY beauty hacks. For hair, it’s a shine booster and frizz fighter and can be even massaged into flaky, itchy scalps.” – Tina Hedges, founder of LOLI™

Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet

“There is a secret I would like to share with you: I have been using my Moisturizing Sorbet as a serum lately. For the first time in my life, I got rosacea on the cheeks because of extra chlorine in tap water in Paris right now. The Moisturizing Sorbet is highly soothing and reduces my redness. I apply it before my daily moisturizer (Premier Cru The Cream or Vinosource S.O.S. Intense Moisturizing Cream).” – Mathilde Thomas, co-founder of Caudalie

Lele Sadoughi Maroon Velvet Headband

“For those days when I don’t have time to do my hair, all I need to do is brush, add our headband, and use some hair spray to add volume.” – Lele Sadoughi, founder of Lele Sadoughi

dpHUE Apple Cider Vinegar Dry Shampoo Powder

“Apply the product before bed and don’t rub it in with your fingers. Instead, let it slowly absorb overnight. You wake up with super fresh feeling hair!” – Donna Pohlad, founder of dpHUE

Paradox Lucky Stars Blemish Patches™

“My pro tip is to wear these overnight. The natural ingredients really go to work, and I always love seeing how they’ve calmed an unwanted zit by the morning.” – Elise Gabriel, founder of Paradox

Londontown® Get Well Nail Recovery

“Mix a few drops of white lacquer with Get Well Nail Recovery to create a sheer, milky shade. You’ll find that it helps neutralize any discoloration — like a nail-perfecting brightener that combines concealer with care.” – Marina Dimentman, founder of Londontown

When I filled out my questionnaire, I answered the makeup question as a no, and yet you sent makeup. I don't wear makeup.

Misty Jan 12, 2021 at 3:15 pm

If the spring box isn’t any better, I will be canceling

Misty Jan 12, 2021 at 3:14 pm

Not happy with this box . It came in January, and well the excitement was gone , because it took forever to get here. A kind bar really ... the only thing I really liked was the robe. What is going on ? When I first singed up , I absolutely loved my winter box. It really had everything that pertained to winter/ cold weather/ dry skin/ and warmth . This winter box I just got was a joke .

Emily Bowles Jan 10, 2021 at 8:27 am

I didn't get any of this in my winter box.

Jenn Jan 10, 2021 at 6:04 am

Very disappointed with the Winter box and with the delivery of all my boxes. Not quite sure why they take over a month (sometimes longer) to be delivered which is insane. I honestly don’t see the value of my subscription so cancelled.

kirovmom Jan 09, 2021 at 6:58 pm

Disappointed in the past two boxes. I cancelled my subscription for now. :(

Michele Travis Jan 09, 2021 at 3:30 pm

I agree with all of the above , winter box was a big disappointment. A kind bar , really. I am looking at other subscriptions, if spring is not better

Natalie Mason Jan 08, 2021 at 7:35 pm

I have been a subscriber for 2 + years and I was completely underwhelmed and disappointed by the winter box. The 2 prior boxes were less exciting than the ones I got after signing up. I am seriously considering cancelling. There are other box / subscription competitors AND some are monthly and cheaper. FFF needs to step up their game.

Sandra Hogan Jan 08, 2021 at 6:32 pm

I was very disappointed with my winter box

Amine Jan 04, 2021 at 6:45 pm

I too was disappointed with this box and wasn’t a huge fan of my fall box either.... hopefully my spring box is better, otherwise I’m probably cancelling

Helen Jan 01, 2021 at 6:47 pm

My winter box didn't arrive until Dec 29th and it was a disappointment. I ended up with the pimple patches and other things I didn't need. Feels like they don't really look at the info you enter when you join.

Adelina Dec 26, 2020 at 2:23 pm

I was really disappointed by my latest box that I’m thinking of cancelling my membership. The only good thing was one item that I picked. The rest wasn’t so good. Very disappointing

nberger15 Dec 23, 2020 at 8:37 pm

Don’t get too excited ladies, this box was a let down! It seems like they don’t seem to care about choices or the quality anymore. Throw some creams and mascara in and a item you picked but quality is crappy. I don’t know what happened! FFF come back to your roots to how it used to be QUALITY!! Customer service reps that help!! Demand satisfaction from customers! That’s how you used to do it!

crazymainer Dec 22, 2020 at 3:07 pm

I wasn't that impressed with this box. The items were nothing I was interested in and my box came damaged.

Tracy Dec 22, 2020 at 7:55 am

I was told it would be here on the 17th and then after waiting and waiting the next day the shipment date was changed to “ let you know when a shipment date is available “. Then to get the email about what was in my box and to see everything that was nothing i had chose and opposite of what i would even use is so disappointing to me. I purchased add on as well. I tried this again after two boxes being very disappointed and quality of items was poor and not at all that was represented.

Christie Dec 20, 2020 at 7:57 pm

My box was still not great and I even bought add ons...the wait was terrible and the prices aren't that great...I just feel like the items could be of a little better quality...I think I also waited so long to receive it I lost all the excitement lol... Being as this was my first box, I am going to try one more and see if it's better. I just feel like the stuff with the high prices could be found at TJ Max or someplace really cheap... that's the way this stuff made me feel... extremely marked down, too expensive to begin with items, that couldn't sell?!? Lol sorry about the rant.

Zoe Dec 17, 2020 at 10:07 am

Bummer I didn’t get anything on this list expect the robe which I chose. It’s was my first box, truly disappointed

celticlady007 Dec 16, 2020 at 7:30 am

Subscribe yearly membership unable to get robe in my box which is did pick also unable to get teacup I choose that still has not yet arrived no date of when will it arrive

Melissa Dec 13, 2020 at 1:30 pm

I too am excited about the winter box ????

Kellie Dec 12, 2020 at 2:30 pm

I’m still waiting on my winter box! I’m really excited about it!

Betty Dec 10, 2020 at 12:16 pm

I haven't received my box...

cyndi30107 Dec 07, 2020 at 11:49 pm

Still no tracking info on my winter box. Getting worried.

jaclyn1 Dec 07, 2020 at 7:47 pm

I really liked the first box I got (winter box), but I was really disappointed that there was a defect on the Lilly Pulitzer mugs! Can I contact someone about replacement mugs?

Amelia Dec 07, 2020 at 7:03 am

I didn’t get the option for the pimple patches either. That would have been great. I was a bit disappointed with the winter box tbh.

Robyn Dec 05, 2020 at 6:47 am

Im disappointed I did not get the option to pick the stars pimple patches! I think they should also include in the box the silicone chest patches to wear at night and prevent chest wrinkles! They are miracle workers for side sleepers to prevent deeper chest wrinkles.

Luanne Dec 04, 2020 at 10:16 pm

I would like that.

Carla Dec 04, 2020 at 11:21 am

They should have a nice electric toothbrush as an option in a box. I would picked it I'm not sure about anyone else.
