Social Bliss The Style Box Subscription Review – August 2014

HELP! I am trying to cancel and I can not figure it out. I’m sure it’s something simple but I can not fine a cancel button.

Social bliss is great! Last month I received my purse damaged due to shipping. I contacted customer service and they said they would send me a new one or I could try and use the damaged one and choose a different purse from the past months. Which I did. I chose a purse from January and they sent it out 2 days later. They didn’t have to do that. I was really impressed.

Then when I received my purse that didn’t have a strap. I contacted customer service and they sent one right out. They’ve always been very nice and helpful.

Plus, I’ve been quite happy with their purses, wallets, scarves, and other accessories. I’m sure the price point and product isn’t for everyone but I look forward to it every month 🙂

This was my first social bliss box and I liked it. After reading all the reviews I am wondering if I am wrong. I got the bracelet in silver, the tote in yellow, the necklace and the visor. I thought the visor was cool, I am going to use it when I am out gardening. The bad reviews are making me nervous. I hope the next box is better for the reviewers that disliked this box.

Gosh, I wish people would realize that they’re not just insulting the company with their harsh words; they’re also insulting everyone who enjoys the items in this box. I think many people would appreciate it if others remembered to respect the people who like these items by refraining from so much name-calling and degradation of the items themselves. I understand that people don’t like the company and that the items they send out aren’t for them (and they of course most certainly have the right to feel that way), but calling items junk/unwearable is not just criticizing the company; it’s criticizing other people’s taste. And yes, there were people who liked this month’s box, myself included. Name-brands aren’t everything; many designer items are made in China, with a ridiculous markup in price just because of the designer name.

People seem to really like their purses (not so much their fashion “themes”) maybe they should just do a purse subscription monthly and make it less expensive like $25 or $30 and just target specifically bags & purses and really hone in on what they are good at. I think for some people there is too much going on in each box. I think all the purses they have sent have been really nice (not sure about this month) but overall, I think this is an interesting subscription. I always like to see what they come up with, I don’t like all of it, but there are some items I love!

The main thing this subscription service would benefit from is customization. The items in this box seem to be so fashion-forward and in-the-moment trendy that a customer is likely to either adore or despise any given item. I think it’s impossible for a single individual to love, say, the rocker chick box, the glam metallic bags from last month, and this strange wrap-around visor. If people could opt into themes, like with the Julep service, people would be more likely to receive at least a few things that fit their style and have a more positive reaction.

Happy to say my box was not a total loss. I got the silver cuff bracelet. I don’t wear gold. Not sure what I will do with necklace, I agree it is cheep. I really wanted the pink bag, and not yellow. I ended up with the blue bag. If anyone received the pink and wants to swap let me know. this is my last box….

This box has got to be going out of business. They do not cancel subs when you contact them and just rebill you over and over. They also do not answer email. I am wondering how people find they have good customer service. They appear to have a connection to someone who sells fake leather ( plastic bags) These cheap bags appear to make some people happy to shell over 50 dollars a month for a box of junk. They do not carry name brands and the jewelry they give you can be purchased on the streets of NYC in dollar store here . They have to be going out of business soon due to all the complaints filed against them, I would not recommend getting anything more then a monthly sub with them. They have sent me expired creams worth 14 dollars claiming they where valued at $150. If you look at MUT they seem to have been thrown off there by the moderators for making up fake screen names.

I think this sub has steadily declined. It used to be the one I most looked forward to but not anymore. Makes me sad cause the options for fashion boxes are very limited.

This looks like a fun box for the Labor Day weekend. It’s not for my taste, but it does seem that a lot of thought went into it. Interesting about the survey question. Hopefully they can work out the kinks and stick around for those that enjoy this box.

The only real disappointing thing about this box is receiving it at the end of summer. Read some pretty harsh stuff in here, wow…

Personally, I was disappointed in this months box. I am a little bewildered in the directions for the tote. Questionable why you have to use a liner. I am more of a silver person. On the plus side, I have several friends that appreciate gold. I will re-gift.

What did you think about Nina Garcia’s box being delayed for a month? I was surprised and disappointed.

Hopefully, Social Bliss is solvent. I recently filled out a survey for them. One of the questions was: how disappointed would I be if they closed their company.

I’ve been a member since the second month and finally canceled this past month. This is the first box that i missed and I’m glad i canceled when i did!

I’m glad I cancelled. I sub for 3 months may was my first, i got the suede clutch, then in June the kimono and last months gold clutch. I haven’t found the quality to be there. Not for 50 a month. I think I’ll invest that towards some children subs for my little babes. I don’t see myself re-subbing unless there’s some great spoiler. I wished I had subbed in the earlier months when they had those great purses.
Good luck to those who continue to sub I hope they get better with time.
But for now I’ll keep my money,

I think this box, even though I haven’t received mine yet, is actually better than the other boxes I have received. This will be my 3rd or 4th box, and I have to say they sort of redeemed themselves with this one. I think someone needs to “RETHINK” the boxes.
One thing I will say is that SocialBliss has the best customer service EVER. They are very helpful and understanding. They get it, when their customers are unhappy. My suggestion is that instead of complaining about the boxes, give suggestions on what you expect in the box. I expect to find higher end items that cannot be found at Walgreens or Walmart. Surprise us with something unexpected. Like a few months ago the very expensive facial product – that’s what I want!! Something high end. I would rather get one high end fabulous “something”, rather than a box of something I can find at Walmart.

I loved my box. I think I love it every month! I avoid spoilers like the plague, but I saw the word tote earlier in the month and I thought oh no, but this might be the cutest tote I have ever seen! Pantone’s radiant orchid plus laser cut? Win. The hat is super functional if you have a lot of hair like I do. The bracelet is totally gorgeous, the necklace is a classic turquoise and gold, which screams Indian summer. Plus they threw in a couple of fun freebies with the useful lip brush and the unusual yet chic temp tats. Come on, all this for $40? Are people seriously complaining the the metals aren’t precious? And that they didn’t put a tag with someone’s name inside the bag? I think that’s a lot to expect for $40.

I got mine today- my third box. I so loved this sub until I subscribed then it went to … Well you know. That kimono, the cheap sunglasses (the gas station had a pair just like it for $5) tons of gold jewelery items that I will never wear that look like Claires 2/$5.

I gave them this month to redeem themselves. No such luck. I hoped for the purple tote which from the comments above wasn’t very nice. I got the aqua and its cute. VERY light and I imagine will not last long but that really isn’t a problem.

Very nice theme, however it would have been GREAT in JUNE not end of August. Again they show their California bias not realizing everyone doesn’t have Pacific weather. Its already fall season (or shopping at least) so the tote wont get touched till next year. 🙁

My other thoughts, well the necklace is cute but very cheap. I like the bracelet but its gold and I dont ever wear gold (seems every month they send out gold jewelry I cant wear)

Another thought- Retail value is supposed to be $107. I question the value listed for several of the items.

Sadly this is my last Socialbliss.

All I received in my box was a tote and necklace. What the heck!!!! So annoyed!!

I’m so glad I can cancelled social bliss a few months back, any jewelry that isn’t silver or gold isn’t worth more than 10 bucks, the hat lokks like something my grandmother would wear, the bag is okay but not worth that price and if they actually included real brands not made up ones their box would be much better

It’s a box of crap. And a summer them the week before Labor Day? Come on! The hat is like an old lady gardening hat. The purse is a clearance section item at Walmart that they tried to tie to the summer theme by calling a beach bag, a random BE lip brush that was a company giveaway a while back. And a freaking stick on tattoo? How old are we? The necklace is on a complete junk chain. The only salvageable item is the bracelet and it’s pretty low quality. All said, a total waste of $48 (I get the cheaper shipping rate since I subbed back in Jan). I’ve been their biggest champion the last few months but this is the last straw. I’m done trying to convince myself I like the products. If you have to do that it’s not good. This is about as high fashion/style as 7-11! Cancelled once and for all!

I just opened my box and love everything in it! The visor fits (after being disappointed with hats in other boxes that are too tight to wear)! The bracelet fits my wrist and my style. I love turquoise, so getting a bag that color and necklace make it double the joy! I will use the lip brush and maybe even the tattoo for kicks. I would have loved this box at the beginning of summer, but since I am delighted with every item, I cannot complain. Can’t wait till next month!

I cancelled SB but then they billed me for another 3 month sub and refused to refund my money so I received this month as well. I hate to say it but I actually really like the tote, bracelet and necklace. They aren’t wow by any means but they’re cute. I received the purple version of the bag and I think it’s actually a cute knock off little summer bag (it’s imitating this Ralph Lauren bag that retails for $150 http://www.polyvore.com/lauren_ralph_laser-cut_shopper/thing?id=80556708.) The visor is a grandma thing, IMO. The tattoo was very obviously a part of a larger set and someone cut off a piece of one and stuck it in my box, which kind of weirds me out, like I’m getting a goodie bag at a kid’s birthday party or something. The lip brush just isn’t for me but I was pleasantly surprised that it was from a brand that I recognize. Although I didn’t want this box, I’m not terribly disappointed that I received it.

This was my first box and I canceled. I try and give boxes a few more months. Yet this one when I opened the box and looked at the items, I know it was not for me. – The hat is to summerish for me to use in the fall. The bag is cute, yet I really need a closure on my tote bags. I do like that it is light. The gold tone necklace reminds me of one that was in popsugar. The tatoo even though cute is something I would never wear. I do like bracelet and lip brush. Both of which I will use. – The value of items I would use is $19 – Verses the $39 I paid with the coupon as a first time subscriber. – Next month the price will go up to $49.99 for me and I can not see myself taking that chance again if I only like $19 in items. Maybe I’ll resubscribe if I see a box I will like.

I was really worried I would regret discontinuing this box after seeing the previews…

I regret nothing.

This box is just not for me…but I know there are people out there that would love it.

Also I have visor hat like that and it was awesome!
