I spent $300 on add ons to my Spring FABFITFUN box! Was it worth it?

I just received my biggest box from FabFitFun EVER, and I am so excited! Never have I ever spent this much on add-ons, but my Spring 2026 box came in swinging!

When I checked out the spoilers a few weeks ago, I saw that they had Drunk Elephant products, and not just one, but multiple!! I could not believe it. Jaz was about to get her hands on DE and not have to pay $60+ for it? NO WAY!!

I was over the moon and could not wait for customization to open. Needless to say, I went overboard. I picked every single DE item they had. I even got the whipped moisturizer twice! I just knew I was going to love it.

Drunk Elephant products always seemed a little out of reach for me. I could not justify paying that much for one item. Your girl has other priorities, like building generational wealth for her grandbabies. Grandma can’t be splurging like that, unless there’s a deal! Hehe!

I could not pass this one up, but also, I deserve a little joy.

Enough about that! Yes, I did buy a bunch of DE products, but I also got other goodies like Murad, Glow Recipe, Tula, Fenty, and more! I received a total of 25 items in my box, including my regular selections, which are what you would normally get without the extras. If I didn’t add anything on, I would have only received 6 items. Big whoop!

I just couldn’t pass up these goodies, and to be honest, it’s been a while since things have been this good at FFF. No shade! Okay, maybe a little shade 😌

First things first, I poppa… err, sorry. Biggie fan. Can you tell I’m excited?

Let’s get it poppin’. I’m going to list all the products, the original price, and the add-on price so you can see the savings.

1. Earth Harbor Helios Anti-Pollution Ampoule

FFF add-on price: $12
Original price: $48

I’ve never tried this product before, but I have used an ampoule from CosRX and liked it a lot, so I figured I would give this one a try.

2. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

FFF price: Included as a customization choice
Original price: $36

This has been a favorite of mine for a few years. I first tried this product thanks to FFF, but I have also bought it from Sephora when it was on sale. Bargain shopper over here!

It’s a good product, but I would never pay full price. You can also find Glow Recipe at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for the low low too!

3. Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Rescue Cream with Ceramides

FFF price: $19 to add as an extra choice
Original price: $66

I bought two of these thinking I was going to love it, but I’ll go ahead and give you a spoiler, I don’t. It’s not as moisturizing as they make it sound. I thought it would be a little more plush than it actually is.

I regret buying two, but I can probably sell one on Poshmark if I decide to get rid of it.

4. Drunk Elephant C-Luma Hydrabright Gentle Hydrating Vitamin C Serum

FFF price: $19 to add as an extra choice
Original price: $68

I’ve been having issues with my current vitamin C serum. It has been pilling on me, so I figured maybe this one wouldn’t, and it hasn’t so far. I’ve tried it a few times, and it has not pilled at all. So far, so good!

5. Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

FFF price: $19 to add as an extra choice
Original price: $54

The name alone sounds like it’s ready to put in some serious work. As a woman with mature, dry skin, words like “intensive hydration” get me going.

I bought so many products in this order that this one kind of got lost in the sauce. I’m curious to see if it really lives up to the claim.

I will definitely do a full review on each DE product in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

6. Drunk Elephant Ceramighty AF Eye Balm

FFF price: $19 as an additional add-on
Original price: $62

I’ve used this one a few times, and I can already tell you it’s not worth the price tag. I seem to have sensitive eyes, and eye creams tend to bother me. That doesn’t stop me from using them, though, and this one is just like the rest.

Maybe it does do something and I just can’t see it. Pun intended.

I’m starting to think I went a little nuts buying all of these DE products. I guess we’ll have to wait until I give them a fair chance before I label this one a loss.

7. Drunk Elephant Amino Rain Glasswater Serum

FFF price: $19 as an additional add-on
Original price: $58

Okay, this one I’ve used a few times, and I can tell you it makes my skin glow. It’s definitely hydrating and has a bit of shimmer to it.

This one I don’t regret at all. Is it worth $58? Maybe. Is it worth $19? Definitely! I should have grabbed two of these instead of the cream.

I would buy this again. On sale, of course!

8. Drunk Elephant B-Gold Bright Illuminating Drops with 5% Niacinamide.

FFF customization choice, no extra cost
Original price: $39

Yeah, another DE item, but we’re getting to the end of it, I promise. I wanted this because of the niacinamide. It’s a staple in my AM and PM skincare routine.

It has a gold shimmer and gives the skin a bronzy glow. Great for winter when your skin is dull and needs to look like it got a little sun.

9. Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with Peptides

FFF price: $19 as an add-on
Original price: $39

I got this just to get it. I basically picked up every single DE product, but did I need it? No.

It might be similar to the niacinamide one, but with peptides instead. I don’t even know what peptides are or what they do, but I promise you, I will find out!

10. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Talc-Free Setting Powder

FFF price: $18 as an add-on
Original price: $48

I’m not a big fan of loose setting powder. I find it messy and hard to work with. I prefer pressed powders because I don’t feel like they go to waste.

However, I saw this item become unavailable immediately after customization opened, which told me it was a sought-after product. I waited until the last few minutes of customization and grabbed it. People tend to remove items from their boxes last minute, and they become available again.

We all tend to rationalize our purchases in those final hours. I didn’t with this box. I got every dang thing!

Anyway, I’ll have to do a review on this in the near future and let y’all know if I change my mind about loose powder.

11. Kosas Soulgazer Mascara (Black)

FFF price: $15 as an add-on
Original price: $28

Mascara is a weakness of mine. I love a good mascara and am always willing to try a high-end brand. When it comes to my eyes, I don’t use drugstore makeup. It smears and gets everywhere.

I have to go high-end when it comes to my eyes. I need products that will stay put and not smudge. For super long days, I go with a waterproof mascara, but for average days, a good high-end regular mascara works just fine.

Kosas is a good brand, and I really love their concealer, so I wanted to give this a try.

12. Innisfree Cherry Blossom Dewy Glow Jelly Moisturizer with Niacinamide

FFF price: $11 as an add-on
Original price: $30

Well, the name alone tells you why I wanted this. My dry skin yelled out “YESSS!” when I saw it. Niacinamide is my jam, so of course I wanted this jelly, dewy moisture on my face!

I tried it a few times, and it really didn’t “dew” much. It’s not moisturizing at all. It’s basically just a gel that sits on your face for a little while, then dries down with no real evidence of it being there.

This one was a fail. I’d skip this one.

13. Fenty Skin Blemish Defeat’r BHA Spot-Targeting Gel

FFF price: $13 as an add-on
Original price: $25

Not only do I love Fenty products and find them to be very good quality, but I will always support a Black woman-owned company whenever I can. I love anything Fenty, so when I can get my hands on it, I snatch it up!

I was never someone who dealt with breakouts, but it must be this perimenopause creeping up on me, because I’ve been getting these cyst-like pimples along my jawline. I can’t help but mess with them, which leaves an ugly, discolored mark on my face.

I’m hoping this product will help me out the next time I get one of those annoying zits!

14. Kulfi Beauty Free The Brow Volumizing Flexible Hold Brow Gel

FFF price: $13 as an add-on
Original price: $26

I was hoping this would be as good as Lime Crime’s brow wax, but it wasn’t. This was a waste of money, in my opinion. You can get the same effect using Vaseline.

Not worth it.

15. Blemish Patch

FFF price: $1.80 as an add-on
Original price: $4.50

This was trash. It slid off my face onto my pillow and did nothing for the zit that was tormenting my cheek. The ones from Dollar Tree are far better and cheaper. They never slide off and actually work!

Skip this.

16. Hair Identifier Spray

FFF price: $11.20 as an add-on
Original price: $20.99

Another skip! Horrible. It barely sprays and tugs at the hair instead of removing it. The blades are dull and useless.

As a woman who suffers from PCOS, I deal with thicker facial hair, so a dull blade caused ingrown hairs that became a problem. It eventually led to scarring and discoloration on my face, and it wasn’t pretty.

I also read that inhaling this stuff isn’t good either. Please skip this.

Useless on top of useless.

17. Murad – Cellular Hydration Cream

FFF price: $28.99 as an add-on
Original price: $69

I’m not sure what possessed me to pay almost $30 for another face cream when I already bought so many. Actually, I do! Using tretinoin can leave my skin dry and flaky if I use too much, so this seems like a great product to use when I’m going through a dry spell.

Reading the description sold me. I haven’t used it yet, but I will definitely be doing a review on this.

18. Beauty Sleep Overnight Treatment by TULA Skincare

FFF price: $26.50 as an add-on
Original price: $68

This is worth it! I have another bottle that I received in a previous box, and I fell in love with it. I use it on nights when I use vitamin C as the last step in my skincare routine, usually after my LED light therapy mask.

It seals in all of your products while adding extra hydration. I find that it gives my skin a glow that I can’t live without.

A little goes a long way, and I still have a lot left, but I had to grab a backup bottle.

19. Brightening Treatment Drops Triple Vitamin C Serum by TULA Skincare

FFF price: $26.50 as an add-on
Original price: $56

I’ve never used this before, but I grabbed it because it goes with the overnight treatment. I figured I’d like it since I love the treatment so much, and my skin loves vitamin C.

Yours probably does too!

20. Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask in Melon

FFF price: included in customization
Original price: $23

Do I need another lip mask? No. Did I want it because it was Fenty? Yes.

I’ll never miss a chance to snag a product from RiRi. Did you know she’s half Guyanese?!

21. Olehenriksen – Banana Briight +Vitamin CC Eye Stick-Apricot

FFF price: included in customization
Original price: $35

I’m a little skeptical about this product because I’ve used a sunscreen from them that left a white cast. That tells me it might not be brown girl friendly, and maybe their products aren’t really geared toward POC.

I also tried a vitamin C serum from them that pilled like crazy. It was a mess. But I figured I’d give them one last shot.

22. Rare Beauty – Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush-Hope

FFF price: included in customization
Original price: $27

This arrived broken, which was disappointing, but I called and received a credit. FFF has always been good about covering products that arrive damaged, are missing from the box, or if you simply don’t like a product.

However, don’t take advantage of that. Be honest and only contact them if they really messed up, not because you want a freebie.
