Social Bliss The Style Box Subscription Review – Oct 2014

Honestly this box wasn’t that bad compair to the last 3 months, I think it’s all depend on what color scarf or watch you got, I got the navy/grey scarf and the white watch and I love those two items. Maybe this subscription is coming back to us guys. 🙂

I actually really liked this box! The thing is, I recv’d items that slightly differ from Liz’s box and others so the things I recv’d weren’t cheap looking to me at all. Not “high end”, but def. not bad. The wallet I recv’d was the same color but it didn’t have the ugly quilting going on at each end. Also, the gold at the front is more delicate, smaller and has small crystals embedded in it. Way prettier. My watch is white, I would have preferred black, but I waay prefer the rose gold bezel to the one pictured. It has a lot more dazzle. I recv’d the black/grey version of the scarf and I love it. I’m a scarf person. The size is great and this one can basically go with anything I wear. I wore it literally all day yesterday with what I happened to be wearing when the box came! I had many compliments on it. Granted the book is a throw away, I won’t use it for sure – but the polish seems interesting, although no big deal. I consider myself fashion forward, and I feel like the difference for me hating or loving this box was in the details. Luckily, things fell my way this time!!

I bought that exact watch online for $15 ($21 w/shipping) when I saw someone post it in a spoiler. Same brand and same style.

This is one sub that I do not miss at all. For $50 one could have purchased a Kate Spade wallet during their F&F 30% off sale this past weekend. I’d rather have a single Kate Spade wallet over the entire contents of this box.

I got the same watch, but the bezel, numbers and hands are all rose gold, and its actually beautiful. It was a wonderful surprise considering that I am just waiting until November for this box ‘o crap sub to be done.

I’m sad to see that this sub doesn’t appear to ever be coming back to where it began in terms of overall quality. It started strong and for the first 4 months was great-included great products at a good value. Since then it has slipped off, well, actually, more like plunged off a cliff since it was so sudden. In May it took a nosedive with not a single fashion item save for a tiny coin purse (that they called a “clutch”). Then began the flood of sketchy, unbranded, cheap third party reseller merchandise (I’m trying to be kind). Last month looked like someone cleaned out their closet and cosmetics drawer and threw the unwanted extras into a box. The demographic for this box is the fashion forward woman. It wasn’t intended as a teen box at all, at least not according to the company. So I definitely included myself in their target demographic or I wouldn’t have subbed at all. If they are somehow trying to target a different, younger audience, the last 4 boxes would be epic fails, at least according to my daughters and their friends. It’s a very narrow group that enjoys consistently getting mystery Chinese knock offs passed off as style/fashion for the bargain price of $50/month. It’s not to say it’s bad to like something here and there but it is absolutely not worth the stated values and none of the items sent the past 6 months have been on trend, cutting edge, or otherwise fashion focused at all. I used to be their biggest cheerleader in the first 4 months, even in the 5th which majorly sucked (and they never even responded to my message about it; the only response I ever got from SB was a rude, condescending, blatant lie regarding whether they ever intended to give coupon codes for current subscribers versus new subs only). I can’t cheerlead for this hot mess any longer. I couldn’t even give away items from the last few boxes at a community yard sale (ditto for lots of Nina Garcia summer box products). Literally couldn’t give them away. Very sad.

I am so glad I cancelled last month. More cheap crap from China that I am not one bit jealous of.

Disclaimer: I am not the demographic they are trying to reach nor do I subscribe. It’s nice that they switch to a wallet and sent the chain for it. I can’t tell if the watch is big or dainty looking. It looks big. I can see the box being popular with the variations while staying true to what people feel should be in the box.

I don’t know, this felt like a bunch of junk made in China. The wallet quality is hardly $35, the coin part is open in the bottom, so your coins can travel. The watch will probably need to be sized, (more money) for most of us.. Camo scarf, meh. Another useless book, meh and last but not least the nail polish filler. What a waste of money. BTW, these products were far far cheaper if you research the internet compared to what they quoted on the card.

I did think it was strange that the watch came loose in the box, and then there was an empty watch box. The crystal did not have any protective film on it, so it could have scratched; luckily it didn’t.
