MB Greene Be Clear Collection Tote Bag - Value $50.00

I love a novelty tote bag with a cute saying and a flopsy, multi-purpose feel, so I was a little underwhelmed when I first laid eyes on this clear plastic bag. But here's the thing—this bag is exactly the thing I don't have but always need this time of year. The stadiums and major concert venues in my town have all adopted a pretty strict clear bag policy. My friends and I have had to literally throw out so many random things on our way to a game or a show because they weren't stored in an approved bag. This tote (which measures in at12" x 12" x 6"), on the other hand, fits the bill perfectly. Plus, it seems to be a really sturdy quality bag. The plastic is thick, there's a zippered closure... heck, even the straps look classy (they're not real leather, but they're a good fake). It's practical, and as long as it doesn't become a dumping ground for receipts, bobby pins, and other oddities like most of my other tote bags are, it's kind of pretty, too.

Polk Boom Bit Wearable Bluetooth Speaker - Value $29.99

I'm a headphones gal, but there are just some situations where they just don't work that well. The big one for me is when I'm on my bike. I don't like the idea of blocking out the sound of traffic or other cyclists on a trail with headphones, but I also would love to tune into a podcast to pass the time. This speaker has a little clip on the back that I can pop on my shirt, my sleeve, or even the tubes wrapping around my handlebars. The color isn't totally my style, but it should make it easier to find, haha! Oh, and the end cap pops off to reveal a USB—pop it into your laptop or USB charger to bring the battery back to life.

Handbag Rescue, Sandal Rescue, and Sneaker Rescue Packets - Value $3.00

I've seen Handbag Rescue wipes before, but these sneaker ones have really piqued my interest! These individual wipes are safe to use on leather and even suede. Right now my sneakers are looking the messiest, since they were what I tracked around picnics and outdoor adventures all summer long. They're much brighter thanks to this snazzy little product. I think it's cool that the sandal one is specifically made for the footbed of the shoe, rather than the exterior. That's where my sandals need the most love, after all! If anything, I wish the handbag one was swapped with something for boots. Right now, my boots are sparkly and ready to rock, but once the cooler weather sets in, I bet they'll need some TLC soon. Of course, the handbag one is made to work with the same materials as my boots are made of, so maybe I'll give that a shot!

Joie Strawberry Slicer - Value $4.99

This is a handy little device! I will say that most of the times I enjoy strawberries, I'm throwing them in a blender for a smoothie or eating them straight up, rather than sliced. But maybe this easy peasy slicer will make me more eager to toss some strawberry slices into a salad. I like that it's bright red and looks like a strawberry, too!

Your Tea Tea Face Healing Hydration Scrub, 9.46 oz - Value $25.00

I love scrubs, but I've never seen one made with tea! The container looks like a stout little jam jar, and the concoction inside is basically the consistency of jam, too. Most importantly, I love how this makes my skin feel. It looks a little messy when you're rubbing it in since you're smushing tea into your skin (maybe don't wear a white shirt while you use it, in order to avoid stains) but it has a gentle grittiness about it that I love. The fragrance is very... plant-y, so be prepared for that. (It's earthier and more herby than I expected it would be.) But after using this in the shower, my face felt delightfully smooth and plump.

Humble Brush - Value $4.99

Bamboo toothbrushes are slowly emerging as the cool thing in subscription boxes. I've gotten a few of these bad boys in different wellness-oriented boxes. At first, I was a little skeptical, but it turns out that brushes like this one are just awesome. It's comfortable to hold because it's really lightweight, the bristles are BPA-free and long-lasting, the bamboo is biodegradable and treated with natural wax, and best of all, it looks darn cute sitting by my sink!

True Grapefruit, 32 Packets - Value $5.32

True Lemon, 12 Packets - Value $2.50 (Buy 6 boxes for $14.99 on Amazon)

According to the letter from Bianca Jade, these packets are a move to help motivate you to drink more water. I'm a big fan of lemon and grapefruit sparkling water, so I was into the idea of these zero-calorie, zero-sugar, not-artificially-sweetened packets. The idea is that you sprinkle a packet into your water to give it a zip of flavor. Personally, I like water as-is, so my worry is that I won't use these little packets all that frequently. But they do give a gentle citrus taste to a glass of water. I think I like the lemon better since the flavor is a little more gentle and refreshing to me.

GemTye Hair Ties - Value $20.00?

I couldn't find this exact pair online, but a similar set of two is currently selling for $20.00 on the GemTye site. $20.00 feels like a lot for two bejeweled hair tyes, but maybe it's a bit fairer when you think about them as bracelets, too. They definitely can pass as bracelets, though they make comfortable hair ties, too. (I just got to the point in growing out my pixie cut that I can do pigtails again! Hooray!)

Munk Pack's Oatmeal Fruit Squeeze, 4.2 oz - Value $2.16 (Buy a pack of 3 for $6.49 on Amazon)

Pouch-based snacks are a huge trend right now. I feel like I see these squeeze packs everywhere. Most of the time, they're meant for kids, but I like the idea of adults toting these easy snacks on a hike or to a workout. It's really pretty tasty, too. This one had a nice sweetness to it and the kick of cinnamon felt seasonal given the oncoming fall season. And look how healthy this little treat is! Lots of fiber, real fruit, non-GMO ingredients, a vegan recipe, no gluten... it's a great pick for a post-workout treat.

Verdict: This box has a value of about $148.00, which is pretty great for a $50 Quarterly box. There are lots of items in the box—the two biggest being the scrub and the see-through bag. While it didn't wow me, I do think the bag will be really useful, and the scrub was really lovely. I will say that this late-summer box really does feel like it's chasing the warm weather. Especially when, in August, stores are already starting to shift to fall styles and the chilly days are starting to creep in, strawberries and lemon water feel just slightly out of season. Still, I feel like I'll get use out of everything in the box! Fingers crossed we get some more warm days!

What do you think of the Bianca Jade #Miz16 box?

I’m interested in buying / swapping for the clear bag if anyone is willing to part with theirs.

The True Citrus brand products (true lemon, true lime, true orange, etc.) are AWESOME. Need to add lemon to a salad to brighten it up? Sprinkle on some true lemon. Tea need lemon?Camping but like some fresh flavors? I pretty much use them as seasoning rather than water flavorings. Oh! And works in baking too if you add the right amount of water to make up for the missing liquid the fruit would have normally.

Really disappointed in Liz for bringing this box back. Bianca Jade was so incredibly out of line and rude and nobody was mean to her or bashing. The criticism she got was done politely and was well deserved. Liz gave Little Lace Box another chance too and that was a mess. Very disappointed with Liz right now.

Great review and please keep them coming. I just dropped my BOS sub and this might replace it. I like all the useful items.

If I order now will I get this box? I don’t see an FAQ on their website!

I wrote a message to Bianca Jade on Facebook. She sent an email to Quarterly asking them to send me the current box. That was awesome customer service.

I contacted customer service and asked if I would receive this box (MIZ16) or the next box (MIZ17) in November. The representative stated they still had “some” previous boxes available and I could start my subscription with this box. I opted to receive MIZ16.

So happy to see this box reviewed on MSA again! I am a long time subscriber…I love Bianca and I can tell she really does pour her heart and soul into this box. For financial reasons, I have been unsubbing every quarter and picking one up after seeing the full box. I had to get this one because I loved the bag – the quality is fantastic and it gives me an excuse to show off my pouch collection.

$50 for the bag is just funny. Sure, concert- and game-goers need one, but this isn’t a $50 bag, in my opinion.

Even the NFL-licensed clear tote bags are like $10.

Interesting. I always like to see what’s in a box that I recently stopped. Love to see what I’m missing. I’m OK with missing this box. I had gotten the tea scrub in another box and the other things I can easily live without. Always fun to look though. I gave away the tea scrub from the other box. There comes a point when you just get more than you know what to do with and I reached that point awhile ago. It’s fun just to look. Thanks.

I love this subscription! I think the bag would also be great for trips to theme parks, etc, where bags are checked. I have subbed for a couple of years and really appreciate the items I have gotten. I have discovered my favorite hairbrush ever, effective acne dots, and a nice eye cream. I have discovered new snack brands. I would give up Sephora play and other boxes before I let this one go. I think a lot of thought is put into the curation and I appreciate the balance of fitness, beauty, wellness items. Oh and the last box had THE BEST sports laundry soap ever! My hubby loved it too and asked me to reorder it. No more stinky workout clothes! Thanks bianca!

Anna Reilly

Whoa! You’ve gotten so much to love out of this subscription, Debbie! That rules! And you’re totally right – theme parks and all sorts of other event spaces are starting to get particular about bags. It’ll be nice to have a solid see-through bag to bring along in those situations. Glad you’re loving this sub! Thanks so much for sharing your experience <3

This is a box I sub to on and off. I check in on Bianca Jade’s Instagram every now and then to look for spoilers. I didn’t get this one but I’ll continue to keep my eye on it. Glad to see it’s being reviewed again. I like the tea scrub and the portal speaker.

Is it easy to cancel?

Sammee

Very easy! You can subscribe and cancel online through quarterly.com. Another plus is that even when you do subscribe, you’re not charged until your box actually ships.

I’ve always wanted to like this box. But I just never get excited about it. I feel like if I got all these items at TJ Maxx for $30 I’d be like, ‘Look at my haul. Not bad’ But in a $50 box in the mail?…it just makes me disappointed.

I agree with you 100%. For $50, maybe I expect more (but I also may not be the best person for this sub in general).

I’m honestly a little surprised to see this being reviewed again. The box was always very “meh” to me, especially at the price point, but styles vary. I know people can change, but I just can’t get past the unprofessional and slightly spiteful behavior she exhibited the last time she was reviewed and someone said anything slightly negative. But I guess I just won’t support her and problem solved.

Reply ButtonReply

Crystal

Oh please. Because people can’t change and no one deserves second chances, right? That review was more than a year ago when the box was brand new for us & for Bianca. People can be hateful in the comments & she let it get to her. Like that’s never happened to anyone before.

Anon

I agree. I’m always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and everyone has moments where they speak (or type) before they think. It happens, and in this case, it happened a long time ago. And yes, the comments on this site can be especially hurtful, not just for this box, but for any box/subscription.

I also second that comment about this being a very well-written review. Thanks Anna!

Glad to see this box reviewed again. While I dont necessarily think I missed out on anything here, the box usually has some pretty cool fitness/beauty novelty items. I’ve missed seeing the goodies.
