FabFitFun Starter Kit Unboxing

I was gifted this starter kit from a current member of FabFitFun per a coupon code. I signed up for a subscription shortly thereafter and received both boxes around the same time. I got duplicates of these items with my Spring box so I passed them along to my mother (with a few other things for her 60th birthday).

The first item I pulled out was the Summer & Rose 'Delilah' Crossbody Bag in black (retails for $62):

"This bag will take your from daytime casual to to nighttime chic all season long."

It's 8-1/8" wide by 6" in height, and 2-1/8" deep. The shoulder strap is 5/8" wide with a 22.5" drop. The exterior is vegan leather while the interior is 100% polyester.

This is a nicely crafted bag. I've never owned vegan leather before. I was really surprised at the authentic leather-feel. It holds more than it looks and the tassel is a nice modern touch. This is one thing that I didn't get with my Spring FFF box, but I own a ridiculous number of purses/totes, and my mom really likes it.

The next surprise was Marrakesh Argan & Hemp Oil Therapy Hair Styling Elixir (2oz retails for $22.99):

"A powerful blend of nutrient-rich argan oil from Morocco and ultra-fortifying hemp seed oil significantly improves hair condition and texture. Leaves hair feeling silky smooth with a healthy, frizz-free, glossy shine. Cuts drying time in half. Cruelty-free."

AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream with Deadsea Water (5.1oz retails for $33):

"Formulated with Dead Sea minerals, witch hazel, and allantoin, this mineral-rich hand cream protects and safeguards hand from environmental and household damage, instantly improving skin's moisture level, smoothing rough, dry skin and restoring suppleness. Paraben-free, cruelty-free, vegan, allergy-tested and approved for sensitive skin."

My mother has frizzy hair and uses hot styling tools to an extreme. With this hair elixir, she was able to blow dry it straight without using an iron and it left her hair soft and manageable.

The last item was Doucce Luscious Lip Stain & Lip Gloss Duo in Dark Lust (retails for $28):

"Talk about a two-in-one deal. This dual lip paint lets you choose between a matte and glossy finish. Both highly pigmented textures apply smoothly and evenly, giving your lips a plumped and sculpted look."

I really wish I could give you a better review of this item. This color is right down my mom's alley, BUT... my two young nieces were staying the weekend with her and she decided to let them play with makeup. This became a casualty of war. It's tragic. Children are supposed to play with the old, cheap stuff. Oh, well.

Despite getting duplicates, this intro box had an unbelievable value of $142.99 and contained high-end, useful products. Look for my Spring box review for a more in-depth critique.
