Have you all heard of the FabFitFun box? It's a new beauty subscription box with Guilliana Rancic that includes Full Size Products, The Seasons "hottest trends" valued at over $100. The subscription is quarterly, and comes at a cost of $49.99.
I was really excited about this subscription, there was a $10 off coupon so I snagged it for $39.99 and they had announced that everyone would receive a full size bottle of Moroccan Oil, so you're at least getting your moneys worth.
Prior to signing up I saw several bloggers do "openings" in which they receive Butter London Nail Polish, a Go Smile Whitening Pen, Josie Maran Lip Stain and a Jewelmint Star Necklace. Unfortunately this was not the box everyone received, in fact there were at least 12 box variations and many of them included several pieces of outdated Jewelmint jewelry instead of the above listed items, I was one of those people.
Here's my box:
Inside was:
A full size bottle of Moroccon Oil
Think Thin Bar
Zoya Nail Polish
Mini Jouer Lip Gloss
Two pairs of Jewelmint Earrings
Jewelmint double ring
I've never tried the oil before and I really like Zoya nail polish so I was happy with those items. I personally only signed up for the Butter London and Go Smile pen so I was pretty disappointed. I reached out to FabFitFun, like many others and was offered the summer box for free. I really like the idea of quarterly subs, for both money reasons and for feeling overloaded with products, so I'm taking the free box and hoping it's better. There was an article I read that indicated the summer box would come in a summer/beach tote so fingers crossed!

BzzAgent Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge
I recently received a full size bottle of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Shampoo, Conditioner and the Hydra Recharge 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. I was pretty excited to try these because I've always liked Garnier products and was very excited to be getting full sized items of this brand to try out. I received these bottles of free of charge through BzzAgent which is a social marketing company where you can try amazing products and give your opinion on the products you receive/review.. Haven't heard of BzzAgent? Check it out: http://bzzagent.com/
As usual, I've always loved the smell of Garnier products and these items were no different.
Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Shampoo: While this product smells nice, it has these "micro beads" which are noted as "a hydration innovation; the first to feature thousands of beads that burst on impact." I personally did not care for the bead feature. The texture seemed grainy and I didn't find that the beads made any real difference. However, I will say that my husband enjoyed this shampoo and noted that he thought it lathered really well.
Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Conditioner: I personally did not find this conditioner to be any different than any other conditioner I've used, but the smell as usual was great. This makes sense as the description notes "contains superfruits goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi to actively replenish without heaviness"
Hydra Recharge 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment: This is a 1 minute treatment that is described as "a powerful deep treatment whose revolutionary lightweight crème-gel formula transforms dry hair with a surge of high-performance hydration in just one minute." When I used this I used it in place of the conditioner because I didn't want my hair to be too greasy looking. While the smell was great and the texture was only very slightly thicker than a regular conditioner, I did not find the result for me personally to be any different than using just the conditioner.
Although I didn't find the products to be anything extraordinary, if they were on sale or if I had a coupon I would purchase the conditioner and/or 1 minute treatment. I would not purchase the shampoo due to the bead feature.
