It’s that time again: The FabFitFun fall 2015 VIP Box is here and we’re giving you the lowdown (and $10 off with the code: weheart10!)

I seem to say this every time, but this may be my favorite box yet. It’s especially fab and filled with useful and adorable things. Let’s take a look…

I’ll start with beauty since that’s what I’m always drawn to first. Especially a lip gloss! Manna Kadar Lucky Lip Stain ($24) has a lot going for it. It’s a primer, a stain and a gloss all in one. I honestly didn’t think the stain qualities were too impressive, it wore like a regular gloss for me. But oh, what a gloss. It’s creamy, nicely pigmented and the color is a perfect nude pink (see swatch below). And because it’s so pretty, I’d never use it as a primer and cover it up. This has been in my purse since arrival.

Doctor D. Schwab Flawless Skin Fluid ($39) is a lightweight moisturizer that brightens skin with a visible luminosity, while ingredients like grape stem cell extracts help with hyperpigmentation. It’s really nice under foundation for some extra glow.

See? The perfect nude pink!

I love a good mask. And the Passport to Beauty Gold Radiance Mask (two for $65) is just that. Collagen, Rosa Damascena oil and colloidal gold make for a luxurious, and very Cleopatra-like, experience. You’re supposed to apply and relax for 20 mins, but I prefer to chase my dogs and scare my hubby.

For the month of October (Domestic Violence Awareness month) FabFitFun teamed up with Allstate’s Purple Purse Foundation to help end domestic and financial abuse. Attach this cute purple charm to your purse to show your support.

I was so happy to be introduced to Tribe Alive through their Cut crystal beaded bracelet ($49). They sell artisan accessories from around the world that help alleviate poverty among women through fair trade wages, safe jobs and a sustainable income. I ADORE companies like this. I also adore this bracelet, it’s so understated and beautiful.

Do you know this is my FIRST battery pack? Oh, how many times I have needed this!
Very pleased the HISY Portable Battery Bank ($24.99) is in this box. Never again will my battery die at the Emmys (true story).

I’m actually excited to use this medieval torture device/piece of exercise equipment! It’s the Merrithew Strength Tubing for Ankles ($15.99). It comes with a DVD workout too to jumpstart your lower body toning.

How cute is this FabFitFun x Tappan Collective Umbrella? Imprinted with “Rain Rain Rain Go Away” and designed by LA-based artist Ashkahn Shahparnia exclusively for FabFitFun subscribers. I predict this will be very useful in California’s impending Super El Nino season.

And for the always included gift cards and bonus goodies:
• $75 gift card for Picture it on Canvas, just in time for holiday gifts
• $15 gift card for The Jeweler’s Wife, who sell an impressive selection of brands
• Sample of Crest 3D White Brilliance Daily Cleansing Toothpaste and Whitening Gel System, because a bright smile is always fashionable

FabFitFun stepped up their packaging game for this edition too! They included a printed booklet rather than just a postcard and used a purple shipping box featuring Kelsey Oseid illustrations.

The FabFitFun fall 2015 VIP Box would normally be $49.99 (including free shipping) but get it for just $39.99 with code weheart10!

What say you, we heartsters? Is the fall 2015 box fab, fit, fun or all three?
