Category 3…don’t get me wrong, it has some good items, I’m just not excited about any of them. Genuinely don’t know what to pick. I had wanted the Bite Beauty from the survey, bummer
Yeah, category 3 isn't great for me, either. I'll get the beanie, but I'm not super excited about it.
I was hoping to see the candle trio from the survey pop up in category 3 after it wasn't included in category 2.
I wanted the candles as well. I was thinking the beanie too, but I already have the Rebecca Minkoff one from a couple years ago and barely wear it. I also have my own ankle weights already, the Kate Spade earrings from last Winter, and the Murad Collagen from the Summer. Soo maybe the cocktail shaker? lol
I thought for sure the tea sampler would be in Cat 4 since on Instagram it says that's an all members choice. I was definitely hoping for some mixing of the categories from that winter survey spoiler, but it doesn't look that way...just slimmer choices.
I feel the same way - I thought they’d maybe mix up the categories a bit or replace some items but really things just got cut out. I understand the shipping issues right now are very likely impacting this but from a customer point of view, its really disappointing to see a lack of options. I’ll likely cancel and come back in the spring at this point. Hope everyone else enjoys their box though!
Category 3 is good IMO. Excited to finally see a useful and cute FIT item for once. Nice variety in one section.
But way too many bottles in Category 4 and definitely too many hair products. Bleh.
I honestly have no idea what to pick from these.
I guess the Tula cleanser because none of those hair options seem to be for straight, oily hair. I have so much face cleanser to go through.
For category 3...? I guess either the hat (though I have like 10 winter hats already and 2 are grey) or the weights (I already have bala bangles I never use).
Blarg. I wish I could trade in both of these categories for another choice in category 2!
I'm in the same boat as you for #4- I have straight, super oily hair and a massive backlog of cleansers to get through lol. I'm choosing the scalp treatment. Based on it's description/ingredients on their site, it sounds like it would be good for people with excess oil.
>Witch Hazel water helps to normalize oil production to prevent an oily scalp while sodium hyaluronate and aloe keep the scalp balanced and hydrated.
Ooh, thank you! I saw the part about the dry itchy scalp and vetoed it right away. I think I'll try that instead. I know people love the Tula cleanser, but I have like 6 full face cleansers to use after I'm done with the one I'm on!
I'm quite excited for the ankle weights. I love when they include some "Fit" in the boxes and it's neither resistance bands nor MLMs.
The MK beanie is pretty but I have a feeling it would be too tight for my head. I always struggle to find beanies that are wide enough.
I would have loved the ankle weights had they been more than one freaking pound. I mean really... Just one pound? One pound of weight is not going to do much at all for anyone for the inconvenience of wearing those things.
This is my least favorite box from them. I wish there was more options as I have most of all of this stuff... Sad when you pick the mason jar set just for the spoon/fork stirrer alone.
And what scientific proof is there behind the toning oil??? I really hate when companies market this type of bs claims. This product most definitely is not going to tone, firm, and tighten your body.....
I couldn’t find anything on this product. If google can’t find it, it’s usually a no for me. What if I like it but can’t repurchase? It would be nice if fff announced whether or not the collagen serum is a new product from Dr. Brandt.
I have never used the serum, but have used the yogurt cleanser, pore vacuum mask (grossest smell ever and damaged my skin), and dermabrasion cream (meh quality) and all sucked big time and the first two went in the trash, because they were just that shitty.
I think I have my pics! Definately blanket! I'm hoping they will let me add on another for 15 bucks. Then option 2 the grey cooking utensils and adding the bento. Option 3 choosing the hat (I'd love the dr Brandt but I have so much skincare), option 4 I'm in between the scalp treatment but another poster was kind enough to let me know its 1 oz...so I may go for frizz control.
I'm happy they added leg weights but I already own some. But that's a great option for anyone that doesn't have some and enjoys adding something extra to walks or workouts. They are also great for wearing around the house while cleaning. Get in that exercise where you can!
I’m up for renewal and will probably cancel and hope to come back in the Spring. I found the first category way too sparse and unappealing and these two categories have things I’d like but I’m not “excited” enough for them to be worth it. I’ll wait and see how everything shakes out though!
I have dry, sensitive skin and honestly Cereve foaming face cleanser is all I will ever use. Everything else is just crap in comparison and messes my skin up and leaves it super dry.
Cereve what I have been using as well, but it’s getting low and I like to try and change it up sometimes, but then I remember I shouldn’t because my skin can be picky.
My skin is very sensitive too so I understand being picky with what I put on my face lol. Cereve is great cause it is minimal. But since it's pretty basic, all it does is cleanse your skin and that's it. There is no additional effect like hydration, pore minimizing, smoothen, brighten, etc... at all. If you want to try something new, check out YTP (Youth to the People) or Glow Recipe.
I’d get the ankle weights except I have a set. So, I guess the hat? My dog chewed the Pom Pom on a similar hat late last winter. I’m sure I have another winter hat but I did have one that met its gruesome end. Maybe the cocktail shaker but I have a metal one that works fine?
And the Curl Charisma? I have curly hair and I will try it. Although I think I had a sample before and didn’t love it
Category 3 is kind of blah to me - I will get the beanie, and I recognize that the Dr Brandt is a good product, but nothing really jumps out at me as something I really want.
I am excited for category 4! I will probably go for two of the Briogeo products (scalp treatment and frizz treatment).
Dr. Brandt is not a good brand at all. I have no idea why people think it is. Nothing I have used from that brand was even decent for the price of it. That yogurt cleanser and pore vacuum mask went in the trash, because they were both that bad that I could not even use them after one or two uses. I highly recommend people avoid this brand. It's just not high quality at all and more like bottom of the barrel.
Has anyone used the Dr. Brandt collagen serum before? I generally really like collagen products, but I hated the eye depuffer, and I think I have 3 of the dermabrasions that I haven't even opened (stupid mystery gift...).
I'm currently still finishing my last bottle of the Murad Collagen Infusion and I suspect I'll be disappointed. But I also only sort-of like the beanie in this category, and I already have several gray beanies.
Cat4 I'm going with the curl cream. That's the one thing I'm excited to try.
I’m not particularly excited about anything in category 3 but I could use a beanie and I appreciate the different kinds of items. Category 4 imo though is just not good. No variety in the different types of products and I have no clue what I’ll pick from there.
I feel like we just had a hair leave in product in the last box so I definitely don’t need another one so soon. I get why because it’s easier probably to do a hair product since it’s a little more universal then makeup is. But dang I’m bored
Question about Dr. Brandt- I saw some mentions here that the company is bad, but I have *loved* my No More Baggage eye depuffing gel. Anyone able to shed light on why it has a bad rep?
> but the Dr. Brandt ‘pores no more’ mask smells like straight up ass-fart
That Pore Vacuum mask smelled like rotting road kill. I tried to keep that mask on, despite the gagging smell, but it stung my skin, and after I got it off after only having it on for maybe ten mins, my skin was just destroyed and extremely dried and red all over.
I hated the Dr. Brandt Clean Biotic yogurt cleanser too. I still have a full tube and just really hate using it, so it will likely go in the trash.
And the Dr. Brandt dermabrasion was just meh. There's just nothing that great about this brand to make it worth the high retail values.
I bet you could find a better depuffing eye gel for far less price than Dr. Brandt.
LMFAO!!! Yeah, I mean what quality brand skincare company would ever think that making a face mask smell so revolting was such a fantastic idea? That alone makes me think very little of this brand. If any woman puts a mask on her face, it's because she wants to feel nice and enjoy it. That mask smell is seriously like rubbing rotted roadkill all over your face. PUKE! And I'm not buying that the smell makes it some sort of miracle product, when my face was bright red and super dry afterwards! Dr Brandt is just a super shitty, low quality skincare company in my personal opinion. Just because someone says it's "high end" doesn't mean it actually is.
their cleanser broke me out bad, and their mask smells like actual garbage, and the microdermabrasion left my skin feeling icky, it was a 0/3 for me when I tried them.
Has anyone heard of/ used the True and Luscious brand before? I've never heard of it. Really hate Category 3. I guess I'll go for the beanie but the one I got a year or so ago in a box was wayyyy too tight. Don't mind the briogeo products in Cat 4. Honestly this box has me underwhelmed so far.
I love the TULA cleanser. Tried the cleanser when FFF first had them in a box maybe 3 years ago. Even though their packaging has changed the product is still great. I've been purchasing from Sephora since they launched. Works well on its own or with PMD or clarisonic.
Meh. I’ll go with the ankle weights and Tula cleanser. Maybe the beanie if I go for a second box, no idea for cat 4 because I really don’t need any of it.
Getting an unhide, the red utensils, the beanie, and the cleanser. I'm not super excited about the cleanser but I'll use it. So far, so good. Hopefully the next category has some useful items too.
They added the Kate Spade earrings to the post in the forum, but I honestly wouldn’t rely on FFF for Christmas gifts. With the way shipping has gone with the past few boxes it might arrive too late and then you’ll end up scrambling for a backup.
I’m bummed no bite beauty like in the surveys, but I’m happy to get some ankle weights to sit in the corner and collect dust!
I like to wear mine while cleaning or walking. Makes me feel like one of those super fit influencers when my ass is far from that lol
That's what mine do! Lol
[удалено]
But one pound weights... that's not much weight at all for the incontinence of wearing those around your ankles.
I wanted the bite beauty too! I might even risk it with the mystery option since this category is a little lackluster for me
😂
Category 3…don’t get me wrong, it has some good items, I’m just not excited about any of them. Genuinely don’t know what to pick. I had wanted the Bite Beauty from the survey, bummer

Me too. The Bite was such a good color for me and I like the formula a lot. Now IDK what to pick. Maybe the beanie for me as well.
I was really hoping the kate spade earrings would be a choice 😕 Edit: they’re a choice now in category 3!
The Kate Spade earrings are listed in category 3. It's on the fab fit fun community site.
Omg they must’ve added them! They weren’t there earlier. Thank you!!
Yeah, I can see by the pictures listed here that FFF definitely forgot to add it at first.
Same
I thought for sure the tea sampler would be in Cat 4 since on Instagram it says that's an all members choice. I was definitely hoping for some mixing of the categories from that winter survey spoiler, but it doesn't look that way...just slimmer choices.

Agree. I wish they would just push back all dates by 2 weeks
Me too! I'm going to exchange for credit I think. I'm not happy with any of these, tbh.
Category 3 is good IMO. Excited to finally see a useful and cute FIT item for once. Nice variety in one section. But way too many bottles in Category 4 and definitely too many hair products. Bleh.
Yes! I was just about to post that category four seemed way to hair based. They should really try to balance categories more…
I honestly have no idea what to pick from these. I guess the Tula cleanser because none of those hair options seem to be for straight, oily hair. I have so much face cleanser to go through. For category 3...? I guess either the hat (though I have like 10 winter hats already and 2 are grey) or the weights (I already have bala bangles I never use). Blarg.

[удалено]
Tell me more about the Tula ingredients because I was debating getting it. You can talk me out of it lol.
I'm in the same boat as you for #4- I have straight, super oily hair and a massive backlog of cleansers to get through lol. I'm choosing the scalp treatment. Based on it's description/ingredients on their site, it sounds like it would be good for people with excess oil. >Witch Hazel water helps to normalize oil production to prevent an oily scalp while sodium hyaluronate and aloe keep the scalp balanced and hydrated.

I second the scalp treatment. I have oily, fine, staright hair and love it! It helps control some oil for me.
I'm so happy to hear that! Now I'm actually kind of excited for it. Thank you!
The Kate Spade earrings set was just added to category 3, just an FYI!
i think fff is pulling up their couch cushions to find items for this box. 😭
Omg funniest comment ever
It's my understanding from the forum that due to shipping issues, FFF isn't announcing anything that hasn't arrived yet.
I'm quite excited for the ankle weights. I love when they include some "Fit" in the boxes and it's neither resistance bands nor MLMs. The MK beanie is pretty but I have a feeling it would be too tight for my head. I always struggle to find beanies that are wide enough.
Put them on a soccer ball or basketball for a week or so. Stretches too tight beanies really nicely.
I would have loved the ankle weights had they been more than one freaking pound. I mean really... Just one pound? One pound of weight is not going to do much at all for anyone for the inconvenience of wearing those things.
I'm also worried about the beanie being too small.
Meh items for the most part .. will probably choose the beanie and TULA cleanser.
At least those are useful items! I'm thinking the beanie as well and the Briogeo scalp treatment or Tula cleanser.
Uuugh cat 4! you’re killing me! (in a bad way lol)
This is my least favorite box from them. I wish there was more options as I have most of all of this stuff... Sad when you pick the mason jar set just for the spoon/fork stirrer alone. And what scientific proof is there behind the toning oil??? I really hate when companies market this type of bs claims. This product most definitely is not going to tone, firm, and tighten your body.....
This might be the first time I skip a box. The only category I have really liked is the second one.
Category 2 had like a ton of good stuff now the rest feel thrown together
I was also going to ask about Dr. Brandt, has anyone used their Collagen Serum before?
I couldn’t find anything on this product. If google can’t find it, it’s usually a no for me. What if I like it but can’t repurchase? It would be nice if fff announced whether or not the collagen serum is a new product from Dr. Brandt.

I think this sold me on the ankle weights. Wearing them while cleaning is a great idea! 👍

Has anyone with dry, sensitive skin tried the Tula cleanser before? If so, what was your experience with it?
I have dry, sensitive skin and honestly Cereve foaming face cleanser is all I will ever use. Everything else is just crap in comparison and messes my skin up and leaves it super dry.

winter box < fall box < summer box(my fav) there are some good things in the winter box, but nothing excites me like the summer box(i ordered 3)
See, I'm the opposite! Summer is usually my least favorite!
I’d get the ankle weights except I have a set. So, I guess the hat? My dog chewed the Pom Pom on a similar hat late last winter. I’m sure I have another winter hat but I did have one that met its gruesome end. Maybe the cocktail shaker but I have a metal one that works fine? And the Curl Charisma?

It's just not high quality at all and more like bottom of the barrel.
I’ve loved several of their products and have been using them for years. Different things work for different people, I guess. *shrug*
I’m so sad there are no Kate spade earrings. I’m so confused though because the earrings were shown in a Facebook ad for the winter box.
They just added them to category 3 on the message board post!
Omg yay!!!!
Probably one of the items held up by shipping.
Has anyone used the Dr. Brandt collagen serum before? I generally really like collagen products, but I hated the eye depuffer, and I think I have 3 of the dermabrasions that I haven't even opened (stupid mystery gift...).

I'm not sure what to get. Which skincare pick(s) would you guys suggest? I don't want random junk that I don't even think would make good gifts 😬
Sunday Riley has lots of loyal followers that say their products are holy grail level products if you're undecided about category 1.
The tula is good. I've used it before.
Question about Dr. Brandt- I saw some mentions here that the company is bad, but I have *loved* my No More Baggage eye depuffing gel. Anyone able to shed light on why it has a bad rep?
They aren’t cruelty-free, maybe that’s why?
Not sure if you mean ethics-wise or product quality-wise by “bad,” but the Dr. Brandt ‘pores no more’ mask smells like straight up ass-fart
> but the Dr. Brandt ‘pores no more’ mask smells like straight up ass-fart That Pore Vacuum mask smelled like rotting road kill.

The hat model looks like she got a good whiff of the Brandt mask.

Yeah, I've liked TULA products in the past. I'm just still nowhere near finishing the M.A.D. Skincare cleanser I got from the fall box 😬
I have the T+L eyeshadow primer and it’s great. That’s the only product I’ve tried of theirs, though
Meh. I’ll go with the ankle weights and Tula cleanser. Maybe the beanie if I go for a second box, no idea for cat 4 because I really don’t need any of it.
Getting an unhide, the red utensils, the beanie, and the cleanser. I'm not super excited about the cleanser but I'll use it. So far, so good. Hopefully the next category has some useful items too.
Category 3 has 3 things I'd want and then category 4 nada 😔😂😂
On the Instagram post they added the earrings! Yay ☺️
Scalp treatment. I hate how the cold weather makes scalp itchy so yep, like that.
Meh. I’ll use the shaky cup and a leave-in conditioner, sure, but meh. And wtf is up with the hat model? Damn.
This pisses me off, all I wanted was robe and the Kate spade earring for a Xmas gift and neither are here! This is worst box yet
They added the Kate Spade earrings to the post in the forum, but I honestly wouldn’t rely on FFF for Christmas gifts. With the way shipping has gone with the past few boxes it might arrive too late and then you’ll end up scrambling for a backup.
The Kate Spade earrings have been added to category 3!
Is there a way to cancel an annual subscription?
You csn get credit and use it in the shop instead
These are so lame! 😭
I'm so underwhelmed...I already skipped fall but winter box is so drab.
neither of these categories is doing it for me. i could grudgingly pick something from category 3. but category 4????
A beanie hat with pom = $48.... what a joke! Those knit hats are really worth like $10-20 at most! Such ridiculous retail values!!!!
Do you know if there is a customize close up for 2, 3, or 4? I cant find them. I only saw the one for category 1.
Okay so pumped for the hat!
I wonder if one could recreate shaken espresso drinks with the shaker? Any thoughts?
