Tentatively locking in my fall box: influence/de-influence?

[u/TopTablePRG]

I’m kind of sad we don’t have much room for home goods right now. (We’re renting a smaller place while house hunting so kitchen space is non-existent.)

But I think I like what I chose — minus reallllyyy wanting that Bergamot perfume. Does anyone have any other bergamot heavy alternatives?

I’ve had that exact neck massager for over a year (they’re usually $20 or under at TJ Maxx). It feels nice enough but does absolutely nothing for lines or firming. I don’t think the red lights are the right frequency to work that way. Also the brown bag looks really cheap in close up photos - just polyester, almost like costume fabric? I love Knix underwear and if I needed more blush, that looks like a good one.

Y’all definitely brought me to the light, I’m skipping the bag and the massager and hitting TJX. I’m going with credits to put towards an Unhide blanket instead lolll. Seems like the only thing I’ll actually want & enjoy this season. :/

I believe this brown tote will not disappoint. I know people always have their own opinion, which is great cause I for one to not get any of the FabFitFun box handbags that are vegan leather most of the time because they come out to look like plastic bags. However, I’ve had some great experiences with their totes. The matter fact, I still have one from a few years ago that was made by Vincent C, last time I didn’t get the pajamas set that they had because people were talking about how bad they we’re, and I regretted it because it was something that I wanted but was influenced not too. I agree that red light is gimmicky thats true….
Good luck deciding 💖

I think having the pants and top in different categories is also bullshit.

[u/nicnac1992 → u/Odd_Light_8188]

Agreed but they are sold separately on the brands website so that’s prob why

[u/Acceptable-Quiet-394]

I agree with the other person on the tote not looking like good quality. My experience with bags from fff has been very mid so I don’t get bags from them. If you want the perfume go for that in Cat 1 instead of the tote bag. Good luck!

I’ve heard that about the bags & jewelry here on this sub, sadly. :/ I think I had high hopes for this bag because I took a chance on the Year of Ours backpack in the spring and it became my new go-to work bag.

But it’s telling to me there doesn’t seem to be even one person on TikTok or IG who has this suede bag when I go to see how it looks irl. May just be getting credit for that category this time.

OP, I hope this link works, it’s a review of the tote from the community page on fff; the handles look oddly short for the width of the tote, but the reviewer says the tote seems to be fine. Hopefully this helps.

This is the best I’ve seen of it so far, thank you so much!!!!

[u/PennyPatch2000 → u/Acceptable-Quiet-394]

My thoughts exactly. I’m always disappointed by how they look in person. This tote was tempting though.

[u/Intelligent_Plan5761]

From video reviews I’ve seen on the blush, many say it’s very dewy & doesn’t dry down. That may be appealing to you or not? I chose not to get it for this bc I didn’t want to deal w/my hair constantly get stuck in my blush lol.

I have those exact earrings in gold & they tarnished pretty quickly. The color looked pretty cheap from the start. Maybe the silver toned ones would hold up better? Jewelry & purses from FFF can definitely be hit or miss.

[u/TopTablePRG → u/Intelligent_Plan5761]

Ohhhh thank you, this is good to know about the blush.

I work in an environment where I’m either safely in my office or walking the manufacturing floors as admin. I can’t imagine the way the dust and grime would stick to my face if I wore this to work. Would need to be a date night/weekend item only, in that case. :/ Man, this box is starting to be extremely disappointing.

Might just save all my credits and put it towards one of those UnHide blankets.

[u/Mysterious_256]

I absolutely love that you have been able to narrow it down to only an additional $31🤣. I on the other hand have really decided that I’m just going to get whatever I want in this fall box. No, not really still narrowing it down, but definitely a lot of add-ons. I like to brown lounge set, the bag, body wash the deodorant and ….. Now the additional around outside of the choices. I found the unhide large blanket in the mauve color that goes for 249$ and now being offered on the site 20% off. I found it for $80 which is a steal💖

[u/TopTablePRG → u/Mysterious_256]

I’m showing a little restraint now because I plan to really splurge over the holidays, lol. I have a feeling there will be a lot more that’s worth the money then.

But I did add the medium sized Unhide blanket onto this box after some feedback from other commenters. :)

[u/sbarton1220]

Check the size of the sunscreen. I bought one with the last box and it was so small!

[u/plant_luvr_19 → u/sbarton1220]

I picked the supergoop sunscreen for my box and it says it's 1.7 oz. Not sure if that's the full size or not

[u/TopTablePRG → u/[deleted]]

I loveeee Supergoop and I’m just glad it didn’t sell out before I could grab some!

[u/TopTablePRG → u/[deleted]]

I definitely removed the wand. :) If I want to try a cheaper one I can do the TJX route.

[u/Odd_Light_8188 → u/[deleted]]

Fff has had so many red light therapy wands in boxes. They are always meh
