Following the success of the September Fab Bag I was excitedly waiting for my October bag. The October Fab Bag has a special item wherein you can get to choose the makeup product you want. On booking my bag, I got an email from the Fab Bag team with a list of makeup products and I got to choose the one product I wanted. This months bag is a lovely red and maroon bag with a button closure. This is perfect for the festive season.
Fab Bag October 2015 Review
The October issue comes with 4 products.
- Spa Ceylon Green Mint Cooling Foot Relief – Rs. 1100/- for 300ml
- Nyassa Oceana Foaming Face Scrub – Rs. 900/- for 200 gms
- Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion – Rs. 545/- for 400 ml
- Fran Wilson MOODmatcher Lipstick Orange – Rs. 590.
Let’s have a brief review of the products.
Spa Ceylon Green Mint Cooling Foot Relief (50 gms)
I received sample of Spa Ceylon Foot Scrub. I was hoping to get the Spa Ceylon facemask, nonetheless I am happy. The scrub is creamish in colour and has a gritty texture perfect for use as a foot scrub. It smells strongly of mint. In fact the fragrance reminds me of Polo (the mint with the hole :D). The scrub comes with the goodness of lime peel, volcanic minerals, and virgin coconut. It claims to soften, lighten, soothe & relax the skin. I am quite sold on the fragrance itself and I am glad I got this product.

Nyassa Oceana Foaming Face Scrub (30 gms)
Nyassa Foaming Face Scrub is more like a cleanser with exfoliating bits. It has a very strong soap like fragrance, which I am not too fond off. This is an average product and I really wish I had got Nyassa Tiramisu body scrub instead.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion (50 ml)
This is my favorite product in the October 2015 Fab Bag. The body butter has a mild yellow colour and a strong cocoa fragrance. While I like the cocoa fragrance, I wish it were milder. I have been using this body butter for the last 3 days and I absolutely love it and I am definitely going to pick up the full size product. A great product for the colder days.

Fran Wilson MOODmatcher Lipstick Orange (Full size)
For the makeup item I chose Fran Wilson MOODmatcher lipstick in Orange. They had only a couple of makeup options to choose from and I really wish they had more items that we were spoiled for choice. MOODmatcher lipsticks are fun; they look different in the tube and on the lips they turn into a completely different colour. I am excited to try this out.

Summary
The October 2015 Fab Bag is a decent bag. I would say we are spoiled after their September Anniversary bag where we got 3 full sized products. The October Fab bag has only one full sized product – the MOODmatcher lipstick in my case. I liked that you could choose the makeup product you want, except I wish that there were more options to choose from.
If you want to get on the wagon and try great products be sure to subscribe to Fab Bag’s subscriptions. They have varied payment options for how many months you wish to subscribe for.
Overall verdict: 4 / 5
