In paid partnership with FabFitFun
Hi everyone! I can’t believe it’s already May and summertime is just around the corner. Do you have any fun plans for this season? I’m currently in the works of planning a summer trip, *possibly* with a brand, (after being on hold for over a year), and I’m so grateful to be fully vaccinated and able to go. Since it’s a new season, I recently received FabFitFun’s Summer box, and am going to give you the details on my favorites inside the package.
If you’re not familiar yet with FabFitFun, it feels just like a blogger receiving surprise PR mail. Their highly curated boxes are shipped quarterly, packed with high end products reflecting their theme for every season. Whether you’re into skincare, beauty, travel or wellness, there’s something in the box that you’ll definitely enjoy.
I am someone who tends to stay in my comfort zone with products, so whenever this box comes in the mail, I’m always excited to try the brands everyone on the internet is hyping right now. I have a code “SUMMERA10” to allow you to get $10 off your subscription and see what the excitement is all about.
Prior to shipping, you are able to customize the box from a few selections, that way it reflects what you’re interested in trying. Through the FabFitFun standard, they have a list of 12 harmful ingredients that they never include in their products to give their customers the best curated experience. I love that they only use clean beauty products, and are dedicated to female empowerment through a majority of their brands being female owned.
As I begin to open this season’s box, I notice it is all full size products that are worth more than you pay for the entire box, which is an amazing value to indulge in on its own. Here is this gorgeous neoprene emerald tote bag by Summersalt, which is great for a beach or picnic day. I’m actually going on a mini beach trip with my friends this week, so I will be taking it along with me. Summersalt is a brand I absolutely adore, and I worked with them on a modest swimsuit launch in 2019, if you remember the subway ad in NY!
One of my favorite hair care brands I fell in love with years ago is Ouai. In this summer package, they’ve included the Ouai Detox Shampoo and Scalp massager. A lot of times, we don’t really think of our scalps as part of of our shower routine compared to shampoo in the hair, but this product is perfect for reducing oily heads from product build up. I’m a medium to oily type hair person, so this is definitely a great item to have next to my shower essentials.
Another hair product is the Living Proof Perfect hair Day Dry Shampoo, which is one of the most popular dry shampoo products that will actually clean your hair for you. The best time to use dry shampoo is before bedtime, that way it will absorb the oil in your hair while you are sleeping, and in the morning you will only have to do touch-ups. Although I wear hijab in public, or a headscarf, I definitely enjoy having my hair done during the day at home and taking just as much care of it as anyone else!
Besides haircare, they’ve included an array of facial beauty products. I immediately notice the Dr. Brandt Pores No More Purifying Cleanser, which is focused on unclogging pores and eliminating excess oil. My skin type is typically more oily in the hotter weather, so this is an exciting product to try out.
Next to it is the SKIN & CO Roma Truffle Therapy Whipped Cleansing Cream. It’s luxurious formula is all about banishing dull skin and promoting hydration. I definitely am looking forward to switching between the two different cleansers, depending on what my skin is needing that day.
Alongside these skincare favorites is the Erno Laszlo Pore Cleansing Clay Mask, which I have been using, and it truly leaves your face feeling soft and bright. Last but not least, the package included the Ciaté London Watermelon Dewy Setting Spray. It’s super lightweight and helps your skin tone appear radiant and glossy! Not to mention, it’s also watermelon scented which alone is iconic for summertime.
Besides the quarterly box filled with the most hyped products of the season, FabFitFun also has member-exclusive sales, and a community of like-minded women through their online articles with instructions on how to use the products, beauty advice, recipes, and more. I always find it fun to rave about the same products with my friends, and that’s what it feels like on their site (like YES I have so much to say about this product too!).
If you are interested in experiencing the FabFitFun for yourself, be sure to use my code “SUMMERA10” for $10 off your subscription. I’d love to know what your favorites end up being!
Much love,
Summer
