FabFitFun Summer 2014 +Promo Codes

For the first time ever, FabFitFun offered shipping to Canada for their summer 2014 VIP box. The box itself cost $49.99, and shipping was only $8, which is very reasonable! There are still some of these boxes left, so hurry up and order your own! Also, when I ordered mine I used the promo code FLASH10 to save $10 on my order (and this code appears to still be working!) If that one fails, try REVEAL5 to save $5 on your order.

This box is actually black, I'm not sure why it looks green in this picture...

First look before unwrapping the tissue paper...

The product card included in the box was awesome! 

The tissue paper was very neatly folded and sealed with a cute sticker

I had already skimmed over a few reveals for this box, so I pretty much knew what to expect from it, but I was still excited to see which variations of things I received!

Thursday Friday Away Mini Clutch/Makeup Bag - This wasn't my favourite variation of this bag, and I just bought a new Nine West makeup bag a few weeks back (hello $9.99 deals at Winners!) so I'm not 100% sure what I'll use this for yet, but it will definitely find a use!
Value: $35

Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil - I don't put very much product into my hair, but this actually seems like something I will use, plus this smells really nice (like lemongrass!).
Value: $25

Sonya Dakar Flash Facial - This product alone is worth almost double what I paid for the box! It claims to give you softer, plumper and younger looking skin in just one minute, and it's been featured in a few magazines (and I guess Gwyneth Paltrow is a big fan of this stuff?). I really look forward to trying this stuff out, and I'm really happy to receive it in this box since I would have never paid full price for it.
Value: $95

POPchips - Sea Salt & Vinegar - POPchips are never fried, never baked, just popped to perfection (according to the bag). I ate these pretty quickly, and they really aren't bad at all! I would definitely buy them again.
Value: $1.29
The rest of the items in the picture above are labelled as being "Sponsored Items" on the product card, so I'm guessing they paid to be included in this box?
Skintimate Shave Gel - Not overly exciting, but L and I don't have any travel sized shave gels so this will definitely be used!
Value: $1.29
Always Xtra Protection Long Daily Liners - Again, not exciting but something that will be put to use.
Value: $1.50
Slimfast Have Your Cake Meal Bar - I still haven't tried this yet, but it seems like a great idea for anyone watching what they eat (I type this in between handfuls of Lays chips, so that clearly isn't me haha). It contains 180 calories, 8g of protein and 6g of fibre. L will probably be the one who ends up eating this, but I would have been all over this if it was chocolate cake flavoured instead of vanilla.
Value: ~$1 (not sold as single bars)

I was sitting on the floor unboxing my FabFitFun and just setting things off to the side. I guess it's a good thing I left the Thursday Friday makeup bag in the plastic, since Pita decided it was the perfect place for her to sit and watch me.

pur~lisse pur~protect SPF 30 Sunscreen - I used this today since I was outside for hours at a local festival, and I didn't burn, so it actually is sunscreen haha. It went on really smooth, and didn't leave my skin feeling oily/greasy at all. I'm really fair (I'll blame it on my Irish heritage), so sunscreen is always a welcome item in my house! I can't imagine paying so much for this, but I'll enjoy this bottle while I have it!
Value: $55

Zoya nail polish in Maya - I think I received a Zoya nail polish last year from TopBox as well? I don't think I ever used it (I might be a bit of a nail polish hoarder...) These polishes are 5Free, which is awesome, and they are vegan-friendly. The colour I received is described as being a semi-opague bright pink coral with tangerine undertones (it's much nicer in person than in the picture I took). I really need to find/make some shelves for all my polishes so I can organize them better and actually start using them up...
Value: $9

KISSTIXX Lip Balm - This is actually a two pack of lip balms, I received the Strawberry/Chocolate pack. You are supposed to keep one for yourself, and give the other one to your partner then taste the flavours mix as you kiss. I guess this was on Shark Tank (the American version of Dragon's Den), and they actually walked away with money from the show. I'm sure I can convince L to try this out (as long as he agrees to take the chocolate one and let me have the strawberry...)
Value: $5.99

FabFitFun Water Infuser BPA-free Water Bottle - I could do without the cheesy saying on the bottle ("Grab life by the exercise balls"), but I will absolutely use this! I love fruit infused water, but it's been awhile since I've made any. This will be great to take to work with me.
Value: $15

The entire contents of the Summer 2014 box.

Pita's happy, she got a new box to sit in.

So there you have it! $245.77 worth of products, and I paid $47.99US. Yep, you read that right, the value of the box was 5 times what I paid for it! That's so awesome, I'm already excited to see what will be in the fall box! Hopefully more American companies follow FabFitFun's lead and start offering shipping to Canada...

I also have a coupon which came in my box with a code for $15 off for three of my friends (and I receive $15 off my fall box as well) if you're interested. This exact box is still available to order, so just leave me a comment if you'd like to sign up and get the summer box for only $34.99 (plus $8 shipping to Canada)!
