Check out all of my Fancy Box reviews.
Each box comes with a card detailing the items included, and a quote from Coco on why she picked each item.
Brides Magazine – Value $5
Another magazine with Coco on the cover! (She shares details on her wedding).
Hangster Photo Display – Value $13
These little hangers are so cute! I may use them for my desk to hold notes, pictures, etc.
Cargo Essential Smoky Eye Palette – Value $34
I always love getting eye shadow palettes in subscription boxes, and this one is described as the “little black dress” of eyeshadows, so I think I’ll get a lot of use out of it!
Senhoa Champagne Delight II Bracelet – Value $45
This Swarovski crystal bracelet is modeled after the once Coco wore to her own wedding!
Studio Sarah Thank You Card – Value $6
Verdict: I really like this month’s Coco Fancy Box! I’ll use everything, and I love that Coco shared some of the personal details of her wedding, both in the magazine and with the bracelet. What do you think of the May Coco Rocha Fancy Box?

I really loved coco rocha boxes but I had to cancel, I don’t think it’s worth the cost. I think the extra shipping cost is excessive.
I also unsubscribed after getting this box. I buy this box to treat myself, not to remind myself that I am nowhere near getting married! The magazine was useless, the bracelet is not my style and the hangers are not something that I see in my home. The only thing I liked was the Cargo quad, but it’s not like I don’t already have 5 other smokey eye quads. I will be putting the bracelet and the hangers up for swap.
This is my third consecutive month of no box, no refund, and no reply from customer service regarding my inquiries about the CoCo sub that never showed up. I’m not heartbroken I missed out this month but “gimme my $50!!!”
Looks like Nicki Hilton has joined the group of Fancy curators. I’m curious but don’t want to throw away more money.
This was the box that caused me to cancel my subscription to the Coco Rocha Fancy Box. My heart sank when I saw the Brides magazine at the top of my box, and it went downhill from there. I wasn’t a big fan of anything except the bracelet, which I loved. Fancy is one of the most expensive boxes to which I subscribe, so even though I’ve loved previous CR Fancy Boxes, I decided that I’d rather put the money I spend on it toward other sub boxes rather than risk another $50 disappointment.
I really did not like this month’s box, and proceeded to cancel. Some of the products I definitely will use, but this box didn’t feel worth the nearly $50 it costs each month. I am extremely disappointed with getting an issue of a bridal magazine when I have no intention of getting married anytime soon and that contributing to the “value” of the box. Not a fan of the bracelet personally either and if anyone wants to swap for it, let me know!
I never received a single box that was worth close to the almost $50 cost/month during my 3 month subscription. I always check out new reviews to see if they’ve ever improved and so far I haven’t seen one that had decent value. If they didn’t charge for shipping it might almost be worth it. Almost. But this box had some seriously overinflated values and not a lot of useful products that appeal to a wide cross section of women.
OK, I don’t get this box but my initial reaction to the bridal thing was “ugh.” Marriage does not look like something that will be happening for me in the near future, either, so I have no interest in bridal magazines. And it’s sort of a Bridezilla thing to do, assuming everyone else (not just your friends, mind you, but random people you’ve never met who pay a hefty sum of money for a subscription box) is going to be just as interested in and excited about your wedding as you were.
I would love to swap for the bracelet – let me know how to contact you!
