Huge fan of these. I love seeing them at Target instead of having to order them online. They are effective and their line in constantly adding products. I suffer from horomonal acne, but my teenager suffers from cystic acne and we both use these products religiously and see results!

This was called something else before. It's basically a powdered shampoo. I like that you can buy a tester bottle for like $5-$10. I didn't find anything particularity better about it than any other shampoo, but it's fun and dusty. They changed their name and maybe have launched new products, I never finished the tester. It wasn't a wow product for me.

I have loved seeing this brand expand over the years. I started using WP because I was not making a ton of money and could barely afford a trip to the eye doctor let alone frames. Now I keep about 5 frames of theirs on rotation because I am constantly losing my glasses or setting them down and forgetting where they are. Their app has gotten super cool with trying on frames virtually, but they also still have their program where they'll send you 5 pairs of frames to try on at home. I still do this sometimes, but mostly know which ones will work for me. My only qualm is that I have found their lenses scratch really, really easily so I end up throwing them away when they get too scratched. but for $95-$145 a pair, it's not really a big deal.

Krewe
Experience
I love my Krewe sunglasses. I got them 2-3 years ago and they still get me compliments every time I wear them. They're sustainable but also super effective. They've held up through weddings, day to day use, offshore Marlin fishing, you name it, they've made it through. I love their super cool kid aesthetic which I almost felt too old to pull off, but hey maybe I still got it? I will definitely be buying more of these!

More designs.
Fur
Experience
I don't know how I stumbled upon this, but as someone with consistent angry ingrowns on my bikini line, this seemed like a dream come true. I balked at the price point, ebem tired to make my own fur oil once, but in the end, I have their oil and ingrown oil on constant supply in my beauty cabinet. I use it daily. The price is honestly not high compared to similar brands like BushBalm and Lady Suite. It's high quality and effective. There is truly no comparison to it, and it's super innovative for them to have launched. I love this stuff and will never be without it!

Boy Smells
Experience
I've bought candles from them for years. My main issue is their lack of throw. I can never smell them and my house is not that big. That being said I keep buying them, but have mostly switched to Otherland. They recently launched perfume. I bought the discovery set. I forgot my promo code for the credit on a full sized bottle. Then my full sized bottle went missing. Customer service was amazing throughout the entire process. They sell undergarments too, but have never tried. If only the candles throw would be more intense. But the perfume, I adore.

Experience
I would sum this box up as TJ Maxx in a box. It used to be packed so beautifully and full of can't get them anywhere else exclusive products. Now FFF has turned into a disjointed, no clear themed, terrible customer service with little to no follow through box. For example, you think you get to pick items in your box. And you think you are indeed doing that. Then your box comes and it has nothing you picked or that was even offered in it. Annual members--meaning you shelled out $180 up front for 4 boxes-- are supposed to be able to choose items first, but halfway through their shady billing cycle for each season they add in a ton of new products to pick that are better than the first run. That makes being an annual member a disadvantage of sorts, if you follow. When it was FFF or PopSugar's Must Have Box, PopSugar's nbox won every time. With FFF, I have had nothing but trouble with billing, customer service, subscription issues, shipping issues, etc. The boxes that one has chic themes seasonally now look like a TJ Maxx clearance end cap with whatever they have laying around thrown in and the packaging that once seemed like a Christmas Present too pretty to unwrap has been reduced to a bunch of items you did not pick--even though you think you can pick items--thrown into a box, with a bunch of brown packing paper. I don't know what the brand's issue is or what direction they're trying to go, but they need to go back to basics. I have tried to cancel my subscription many times, I sometimes go back, but in the end, dealing with their customer service is not worth the hassle.

cutomer service and brand's direction need an entire overhaul. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Prettylitter
Experience
So I got a cat. A good friend had an emergency and I got the cat. I am a lifelong dog person, but my daughter was in love and so here I am. That being said, I did not know the first thing anout cats, but when I saw this litter at Target, I had to try it. Did I? no! I thought about it, dreamed about it, kept looking at it online -- for me this is something that happens when I definirtely should just buy the product--and so finally I did sign up for a subscription. Well, our kitty just had a UTI. how did we know? The litter turned BLUE. Not joking. Not only does this litter really last a month with NO ODOR, but it turns colors when your cat's urine may indicate something is wrong with them. It's also great about odor control and dehydrates their solid waste to the point where it's teeny tiny and makes cleaning the litter box not the most dreaded chore. When I first tried it, my cat kicked this stuff all over the house. It looked like lil homie cat was trying to build a sandcastle outside his litter box with it. I wasn't sure WTF was going on or if this was a good fit or what. Pretty Litter's customer service happened to have reached out to me randomly through a text and I inquired about whether or not the litter was a good fit because I am, you know, not a cat person full of cat person knowledge. Customer Service was knowledgeable and had no qualms cancelling or pausing my subscription, but in the end i've kept the litter and food subscriptions because of how amazing the interaction was. My cat got used to Pretty Litter about 2-3 months in and today we have no sand castles near the litter box.

The website for food is kind of hard to find/navigate. Also make more subscription options.
Glossier
Experience
For the longest time, I had only ever heard of Glossier. It wasn't at Sephora and I just remember hearing of it's cult status Boy Brow and Jelly cleanser. Only recently have I actually purchased and tried the brand. I cannot live without Future Dew. I apply it before or sometimes after my foundation and it adds just the right about of glow--not greasy or overly shiny--just healthy glow. I think i'm on my third bottle now. I also love balmdotcom. As a fiercely loyal Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask user, I couldn't fathom trying another balm, but I did and i'm truly living for the multi-functionality of balmdotcom. I love the flavors, but keep the original with me at all times to dab on my lips, dry skin, hair, anything! It's truly a multi-purpose balm. Their hydraulic acid serum is another one i'm about out of and will be repurchasing. The gel consistency of the serum both fascinates and entices me to use it daily. It feels fun to put on my skin. I haven't tried many of their products, but slowly I will! I'm sold on the brand and even though I didn't dig their aesthetic at first -- it is very cool girl--and I am definitely not one. I love their products.
Feedback
The brand felt a little intimidating/off-putting to me for years. Their culty cool-girl status made me feel a little insecure.
Supergoop!
Experience
My skin is oily and acne prone, so for the longest time sunscreen or the thought of it was a nightmare. I also was on Accutane for 12 months when I was 30. My skin then was super sensitive and very very dry. Throughout it all Supergoop has been the very best product. In my early 20's I would count my pennies to buy a big jug of it from Birchbox. Now, I am thrilled with their expanded line of skincare, and my entire family uses it. What I love about it the most is that it does not cake under makeup. Other brands seem to for me, which turns me off from wearing sunscreen. Supergoop's formula is perfection. It's clean, vegan, cruelty, and reef safe. The brand's aesthetic is perfection and their products, while pricey, are worth every penny.

Nothing! Keep the new products coming!
