Bianca Jade MizzFit Quarterly Subscription Box Review #MIZ06 Letter

Each Quarterly box comes with a letter from the curator detailing the items included and why they selected them. The theme for this month is: “2015 is your time to change things up, make a difference in your life and hopefully find new ways to sweat.”

Bianca Jade MizzFit Quarterly Subscription Box Review #MIZ06 Fitbook

Fitbook - Value $22.95

This is a 12-week fitness and nutrition journal/planner. This was the spoiler item I was most excited about, and I can't wait to start using it. Here is a little more on what's included:

There's something about putting pen to paper that makes things a little more real/important/etc., and I'm hopeful this will be a great tool for a more healthier 2015 for me!

Bianca Jade MizzFit Quarterly Subscription Box Review #MIZ06 Socks

MizzFit for Pointe Studio Grippy Sock Set - Value $20

I love these socks! (Bianca designed them for Pointe Studio Barre).

Bianca Jade MizzFit Quarterly Subscription Box Review #MIZ06 Sock Info

The size sent in the box are S/M (5-7). (At least that's what I received). I'm a size 9, so I would have preferred that they sent the M/L size (8-10), but I tried these on and they still fit pretty well. As long as they don't shrink too much in the laundry they should be good!

Bianca Jade MizzFit Quarterly Subscription Box Review #MIZ06 Mascara

Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara - Value $24

ChristenMichel Glow Strawberry Crush Skin Polish & Brightener - Value $25.50

I like the original Eyeko mascara formula, so I was excited to try this one. It provides good lash separation, and pretty good length and volume as well. Unfortunately I found the formula to be a little irritating to my eyes, so I don't think it is a winner for me. (After realizing it was irritating my eyes, I tried to remove it with my regular makeup remover wipes, and had zero success - this is definitely a 100% waterproof, smudgeproof mascara - just a heads up when it is time to remove it!)

I think this cleanser will be a great fit for me though. I tried it out on my hand, and the exfoliation is gentle, and I like the natural strawberry scent.

Bianca Jade MizzFit Quarterly Subscription Box Review #MIZ06 Candy

Booya Fitness 1 Month Membership - Value $9.99

Lucy Active Coupon Code for 15% off

Snap Infusion SuperCandy Caramels - Value $1.50

Even though Booya Fitness offers a free one month trial, I'm including the value of this one-month membership in the review, since using the offer from Bianca you don't have to enter your credit card information to get the free month - I think that is always valuable!

Bianca mentioned in her letter that the Lucy coupon works even on sale items - but I checked and it does not. (The coupon card itself says "15% off single purchase of regular-price lucy brand merchandise.")

These candies don't seem very healthy to me, but I've received gluten and dairy free jelly beans from the brand in another box before, and can confirm they are tasty!

Before I get to the verdict there's one thing about this box I feel like I should mention. Bianca shared spoilers with us in this post, and then responded to some of the comments with this comment:

Comment

 

Based on that comment, I assumed that there would be at least one more significant item in the box, and based on one of Bianca's twitter comments, it looks like that was the case - one product pulled out at the last minute. (She said she was devastated),

As a former Quarterly curator, I sympathize with this kind of issue. As a subscriber though, I would expect her to update this comment to let us know that things had changed. (Especially now that Quarterly no longer accepts returns). So I'm a little torn on this box, but I think for me it is a case of setting an expectation that wasn't necessary - I was perfectly happy with the box spoilers assuming they were the complete box!

Verdict: The expectations issues aside, I think this is a well-curated box. With the exception of the mascara, I will use everything, and I'm SO excited about the FitBook - it's perfect for a 2015-start box. I also really enjoy reading Bianca's letters in each box - I always find them so inspiring.

What do you think of the #MIZ06 Box?

To please the people who want a dance box is it possible to do a Limited Edition one or is that too much crazy work? I wouldn’t be interested in a dance box but I see from the comments here that many would be.

Hi everyone and LIZ! I have some news for all of you if you’re enjoying the Booya Fitness subscription. I spoke to the founder today about extending the 1-month membership for all of you. She said that she can offer all of you an additional 30 days for $1. I tried to get it for free but there’s some reason behind the $1 which I don’t fully get. Anyway, all you have to do is e-mail her at [email protected]. Please make sure to use “Mizzfit Promo Extension” in the subject line of your email. This is not a bad deal and I will only be informing people about it on here because it’s a little too complicated to explain over social media. Pass on the message to other subscribers who might miss it. THANK YOU!
xoxo, Bianca Jade

we’ll provide the steps to redeem

Hi Bianca,

I finally received my box today and I am happy with the products. I remember seeing in the comments several days ago that you would exchange the socks for the large size. How do I exchange the socks?

Thanks!

Hi Bianca. This is great! I haven’t tried Booya yet as I’m waiting until I move. I didn’t notice a date on there where it would expire (unless it’s really, really, really small). I must also say that Booya is one of my favorite words so I was very pleased there has been a reason to say it lmao.

Thank you Bianca, this is perfect! In my mind this totally makes up for the bit of disappointment I felt when I first received my box. Any chance we could get a deal on ordering more of your socks? I am borderline obsessed with them.

Bianca Jade

Hi Ariana! Glad the Booya Fitness deal sounds good to you! As far as the socks, they retail for $20 but I am happy to sell them to my Quarterly subscribers for $18. Just email me at [email protected]. I wish I could discount them more but I have a deal with Pointe Studio that $18 is the lowest I can go. Really excited you’re obsessed with them 🙂

xoxo, Bianca Jade

Catherine

Honestly, I really expected to not order another one of these boxes. After reading the positive feedback from Bianca Jade on the spoiler post I thought it would be great to see what else would come in this box. Sadly, nothing else and the socks are too small 🙁 . HOWEVER 1) I *do* like the items in the box 2) In the face of all the frustrations from subscribers Bianca Jade has been such a gracious and positive woman. May we all be so blessed under such pressure and strong criticism!! For this reason alone I have signed up for the next box because I believe in her good faith efforts and I respect anyone who can be so forthcoming in a forum such as this. Well done, doll 🙂 Cheers to the Spring box – which is going to be a birthday present to myself, YAY for April!

Hi Catherine,

What you wrote is really kind. Thank you! I had some great calls today about #MIZ07 so I’m in a wonderful mood about it. I have something planned that I think everyone will really love. Thanks for your support.

I already can’t wait for Mizzfit nr 7! I was a bit disappointed about missing item (I was so excited about “mystery” item in box) but still I love everything we got. Fitbook is genius! Didn’t try Booya yet, but will soon do . Thank you Bianca for curating your awesome boxes and motivates us!

Lilith

How do we exchange socks for a bigger size? I’m a big ol’ size 10, so I doubt the 5-7 size will fit me. I tried the Booya site last night and am super excited that we have access for a month! Maybe to add value to this box they could sweet talk them into extending our 1 month to 2 or 3 months? 🙂

I have asked Booya Fitness if they will grant everyone a 2nd free month. Fingers crossed. It’s up to the founder of the company but I told her how much you all loved it and I hope she says yes 🙂

I ordered this box based on Bianca’s assurances that the spoilers were not the full box. I ended up canceling at the last minute when a shrewd makeuptalk poster pointed out that Bianca had stopped promoting the box on facebook, twitter, and Instagram. Had I purchased this box I would have been disappointed. It’s not that it’s a bad value, but since I can’t use several of the items it wouldn’t be a good value for me. I knew this, but I thought since there was suppose to be more maybe the surprise item would swing the value in my favor. (Don’t we all hope this from time to time?) Honestly Bianca should have posted that a company fell through and let people make their own decisions, that was the only right thing to do after advertising more than she could deliver on.

The issue I think most subscribers had is with the extra assurances she made that there would be more items included. Over-promising then under-delivering rarely leaves a good impression. I think some feel they were misled, not because a supplier cancelled but because there was no communication about it once it happened, versus the preemptive/defensive post here about the box contents. I think everyone understands that things happen that curators for Quarterly can’t control (the company has a a well established history of this kind of mismanagement/disorganization and lack of proactive subscriber communication). It’s certainly nothing that can fairly be held against the curator. It was the “lack of faith in me” promise followed by no further comment that ruffled a lot of feathers. We all want to feel we’re making a fully informed decision when it comes to spending our hard earned cash but more than that no one likes to feel like they were deceived, accidentally or otherwise. It’s best not to inflate expectations, especially in a defensive posture as happened here. It rather felt like subscribers got chastised for forming an opinion based on spoilers but then it turned out that the spoilers were the complete box as originally assumed, without a similar, proactive announcement. Just my take on things based on all the comments I’ve read here and discussion on MUT.

I’m shocked by some of the comments made. I thought the box was great. The products have motivated me. The box was worth more than the $50 paid. I already started writing in my fitbook and started my month of Booya Fitness. The kickboxing workout was great! I also enjoyed reading Bianca’s letter and was inspired by her words that “People who go through the motions and exercise without vigor don’t see results.” Sometimes we need to be reminded of simple things that block motivation to be fit/healthy. I look forward to many more boxes from Bianca Jade.

While this is not my favorite box, all of the other boxes have been so amazing that I’m keeping my subscription. Things happen that are out of our control and sometimes you just have roll with it. It’s not Bianca’s fault suppliers backed out last minute. I’m confident that future boxes will continue to be amazing and inspiring like all the others. Bianca is the best!

Crystal

Wow. I’m really surprised at the amount of negative feedback for this box. Even without an additional item I still feel like this is a thoughtfully curated box with a really good value (twice the amount of the cost), which is why I like Bianca’s boxes to begin with. It is ALWAYS a good mix of fitness, health and style. I feel like this time is no exception.

My box will be arriving today and I’m really looking forward to all of the contents, especially the mascara, I was also really excited about the FitBook too but I couldn’t help myself when I saw it at Target last week so now I’ll have 6 months of FitBook goodness in my life.

Looking forward to the next MizzFit box!

Amazing that subscribers out of the country have received their box, and I still haven’t received mine. My tracking number has said “label created” for over a week. I have made two emails (they don’t give a Ph #) to customer service, both unanswered!

I am really disappointed in my first box.

Hi Greta,

There is a customer service email that’s pretty easy to find from what I know. Otherwise please email me at [email protected] and I will connect you with someone who can help you. Thank you, Bianca Jade

Thank you, Jade. I have forwarded my emails to that address. I am looking forward to your next box.

You sure are taking the punches on here. I have always said that anyone can look good when things are going easy. It’s under stress, trials, and tribulation, that what a person is made of really shows. It is an opportunity to let the world know what you are made of you. You are shining, girl!

This box is disappointing! With exchange and shipping it cost me 100$. I expected more. And i feel let down. As a student my money is precious. As i am sure it is for many people as well! I went by what Bianca said and splurged and got this box. Big mistake.

How about a special edition dance themed box? Do you think you would be able to do that? Would there be enough people interested if Bianca Jade could?

Bianca Jade

A dance-themed box sounds really fun, especially as an extra box (the way the clean slate box was). Let me talk to Quarterly about that and see what they say. I have a call with them tomorrow! xoxo, Bianca Jade

I too was disappointed there wasn’t anything additional to the box especially since with the exchange rate and shipping this box cost me 100$. I still love and will use every item in the box and will continue supporting Bianca because she is honest and I still believe in her. Quarterly would be stupid to get rid of her as in my opinion she is their best curator. (Excluding you Liz!)

Ok so I was pretty disappointed that the spoilers were the box with no other item added. BUT, even though I swapped the fitbook and socks, I am in love with the mascara and strawberry scrub!! The mascara didnt budge an inch through 2 intense crossfit workouts!!! I was shocked! I have used the scrub everyday and it feels like such a treat because it smells awesome! And I was able to swap for some great stuff! I am a total tomboy but I actually had a ton of fun wearing the mascara to workout. I’m hooked.

Hey, I just checked and I got waitlisted for this box. Hope a spot opens up soon =)

Reply ButtonReply

PA Anna

Oh no! Bianca’s box is waitlisted. Was it waitlisted before it shipped? Usually it’s bad news if it is waitlisted afterwards. I love her boxes. I want a MIZ07!!! I was checking to see if a different box might ship soon and saw that.

I think Bianca still gave us an excellent value for the box. I’m not able to use the beauty items, but am enjoying everything else. It can’t be easy to have a brand pull out at the last minute and must be difficult to find a company willing to give 1000+ units on a short notice. I wrote a 1000+ because someone blogged they needed a 1000 people to sign up so she could be a curator.

I haven’t seen all her boxes, but the last 3 or 4 look great. This isn’t the norm. I think it is good to support women-own businesses (MizzFit) and be understanding when things don’t go right. Despite everything, she still hit a value of around $100.00 which is more than what I see in some of the other Quarterly boxes.

Hi PA Anna, too kind to me as always! The box is not waitlisted! It’s a GO. I already started working on #MIZ07. I’m working EXTRA HARD on this one to deliver what I usually do + more to make up for last box. Excited for it all to come together! xoxo, Bianca

Wow, that’s really great (sarcasm). I get to spend another $50 so you “might” be able to make it up to me. You really should have told your subscribers BEFORE shipment that what you wrote on here under your spoilers wasn’t going to come to pass and that the value you promised just wasn’t going to be there. Instead, total SILENCE. And here you are again, hyping your next box!

Your statements promising more induced people to purchase – at a time when Quarterly changed their return policy – so it really affected your subscribers in a negative way. Unlike others, I wasn’t wowed by your spoilers, but was willing to give it a shot based upon (1) your statements that the box would contain more and (2) the strength of your prior boxes.

PA Anna

I’m relieved and happy 🙂 Can’t wait to see the next one!

I am disappointed because the curator was so adamant that we have faith and then didn’t come through. The box itself wasn’t “bad” there was just so much buildup and then after the boxes sold out Bianca was suddenly quiet instead of posting excitement like previously. It was suspicious so I was expecting a let-down. I wish I had been able to get one of her earlier boxes instead-those were great and the value was awesome! I’m very hesitant to try again. Also, how do we exchange for the M/L socks?

I really like this box, despite thinking the spoilers weren’t all of the items. I will certainly use every item. Luckily the socks fit me great and Barre classes are my favorite so they will get used immediately. This is the only quarterly box I’m still receiving, and I’m excited to keep subscribing. Thanks for your honest replies and explanation bianca.

This actually looks like a pretty awesome box to me. I’ve never bit on a Quarterly box yet, because they seem so variable in quality (almost went for the MSA one, but just ended up swapping for what I wanted), but Bianca’s all look pretty great. Might not be able to resist any longer… especially since I do my best to avoid spoilers, so I usually don’t have to worry too much about being disappointed on that front.

Quarterly Co, if you are reading this, I would rather have a box delayed and wait, than to be shipped a box that is not the curator’s complete vision. If it were MY name and reputation going out on that box, I would want it to my exact specifications.

You’ve got a good concept going here, but your business practices are disappointing both your customers AND curators. Trust in their judgement. Fans of the curators will stay loyal to the curators when they deliver what’s promised and true to their brand.
