This was my first FFF box, and I was definitely underwhelmed when I got it. But, now that I've had it for a while, I've used most of the products and wanted to hear others' input as well.
The flash facial is really good as an exfoliator. I don't think you need to use it every day, but I use it one to two times a week for my dry skin, and it has improved those pesky dry patches. It can become hard to spread on your face if you're not quick, and I don't like the tiny hole it comes out of the bottle.
The nail Polish is awesome. The color is summery, it applies well, and doesn't chip easily. This is my second week in a row of wearing it because I love it so much.
The bag is just fugly, I'm sorry. I got the one with the pink bag on it, and posted a picture on Instagram. Someone bought it for $10 from me, so that was awesome. It was good quality, just way too cheesy for my taste.
The water bottle is good in theory, but feels cheaply made and is hard to clean. I also hate the "exercise balls" saying on it.
The sunscreen moisturizer works as a sunscreen, but not if you're planning on wearing it under makeup. It does not play well with any foundation, even bb cream. I tried it under bb cream yesterday when I went to the beach, just to see if it'd be better than my foundation because it's lighter, but no. It made everything crease and look gross. So if you're going completely bare faced, then yes, it's awesome.
The hair oil is just that--oily. I have lots of fine but frizzy hair and this just didn't work without getting my hair greasy. I tried so many days to see if I could nail down exactly how much I needed to use, but it even a drop was too much. Plus, it had a very weird scent. Not a fan.
The chap stick. It tastes good, but I'm not eating it. I'm not a teenager. Not interested. I sometimes put it on before bed, but it doesn't really moisturize enough to warrant regular use.
The chips. Whatever they're chips. Mine weren't broken. That's all I can say.
The sponsored products. Sigh. I understand what they're trying to do, but couldn't they pick more appropriate products for this age group or even season?? Pads in the summer? It's like getting cashmere socks in July. Plus, yuck. Those will be donated. Shaving cream I understand but it's so cheap. I won't use it because I use something much better. The slim fast bar. I used to eat the chocolate ones a long time ago, so I'm familiar with the chemical taste. I have since moved on to eating more natural stuff, but I actually didn't mind the flavor, and it kept me surprisingly full after eating it. So, I guess I might buy it if I were looking for a diet, chemical-bar.
What were other peoples experiences with the products?
