With today being a holiday I was NOT expecting my mailman to appear, but all of a sudden my January 2014 Socialbliss Style Box popped up on my front porch!
The Style Box by Socialbliss, who kindly sent me to this box (which is the same box January subscribers will receive) to review (the one I ordered a week or two ago hasn’t shipped yet to my knowledge) is a brand new fashion, lifestyle and accessories box.Boxes contain items which may be featured on the Socialbliss site, along with others that are emerging hot items not yet available to the public. Boxes are $47.90 ($39.95 plus $7.95 shipping) and promise a monthly value of at least $100.
The Style Box ships via USPS Priority Mail and arrived in two days. Well, three, but there was a weekend in there. I wasn’t expecting it until tomorrow because of the holiday, but like I said, I received it today.
I am not kidding, I was so anxious to see what was in this box. I could not get it in my house fast enough. As you can see, everything was perfectly packaged and was wrapped up like a gift.
I was so-so on the first look. And super curious to see if there was anything else in the box.
The Socialbliss Style Box includes a great information card with pictures, prices, product details and how to’s. It also include a Designer Spotlight corner which gave additional details on one of the designer products in this month’s box. The January theme was “Rock Star” and is described as someone who is “A rebel. A leader. A free spirit who bodily races ahead of the crowd and energizes others with her electric spirit”. Here is what was inside:
~Forever Cool Fedora by The Hatter Company ($22): First of all, let me just say that I look ridiculous in this hat. But I see celebrities and other fashionable people wearing these and they look great. Socialbliss suggests combining it with ripped jeans and leather or with a frilly dress or silk camisole. I will likely pass this on to someone more stylish than myself and will admire how great they look it in.
~Rebel Studded Bag ($55): I totally love this! You can use it as a clutch or a “swing purse” and I don’t even think you need to be anywhere near a rocket chick to make this work for you. It’s a great size and will fit far more than most clutches I have ever used.
~NYX The Smokey Look Kit ($12): A great kit with totally practical colors that work for me! At first I thought I got a different kit than pictured, but then I realized I needed to pull that little drawer out.
~Shield and Honor Killer Style Bullet Necklace ($60): I thought that this was just made to look like a bullet, but no, it’s an actual .308 real caliber bullet which is encrusted with Swarovski crystals! I will totally wear this one and I am loving it way more than I thought I would at first glance. It’s on a 34″ chain, but it’s adjustable.
All totaled I came up with a value of $149 for the first every Socialbliss Style Box! Like I mentioned, the box itself is $39.95 plus shipping per month so the value is totally there. This box is a little more cutting edge (is that the right word) than a lot of the other boxes out there, so if you are on top of the latest trends, check it our for sure. I am definitely keeping my subscription on this one and already am looking forward to next month to see what that theme is!
What do you think of the Socialbliss Style Box? If you are interested in ordering or just want to learn more, click here! The subscription is currently by invite only, so make sure you get signed up now. My invite took only a day or two to arrive, but that was a few weeks ago. If you sign-up, let me know what the wait is right now! And if you subscribed, let me know if you get a shipping confirmation on your box (I’ll do the same)! ETA on 1/22: I hear boxes are shipping!!!
Well, I am glad I waited for your review before I signed up as this month’s box is not for me. I am guessing the overall theme is rock star. I am still interested though and look forward to seeing what next month’s box brings.
You are right! It is! I should have added that!
Tammy, did you get an invite? If you don’t want it, you can pass it to me. I’m still on the wait list. Hope I can get this box. I’ve been wanting the necklace since I saw it on the site. But it’s $60 alone.
Hey, I did not sign up before this review came out, but I decided to sign up to even though this one is not for me because I like their daring and am willing to take a chance that the next one will hit with me. ANYWAY, I signed up I think yesterday, and I went straight through with no waiting, immediately confirmed to get a box starting Feb. AND I just got an email at 5:00pm today that said because they have had so many requests for the January box, that they are letting people who just signed up get that box by replying to the email for a one time charge. Maybe this would work for you, or at least you go ahead and get your subscription if you want it. Hope this works out!
Here’s the email I got. I don’t know if it will still apply to new subscriptions.
Hi there,
We wanted to personally thank you for signing up for the Socialbliss Style Box. According to our records, you will be receiving your first box in February, the February box.
An incredible amount of messages were sent to us requesting to get the January box. We’ve created an exclusive offer to extend the opportunity to all members that have subscribed to receive a January box. If you choose to receive the January box, there will be a one-time charge to your account.
Please reply to this email “I want January” if you are part of the group that would like a January box sent to you this week.
Thank you for your overwhelming support!
xoxo,
The Socialbliss Style Box Team
Thanks for sharing!
I signed up about a week ago without there being a waitlist although the home page stated there was a waitlist, and required me too enter my email address. I then went to the box page and clicked on the order button and voila I was at the shopping cart. I checked out and received a confirmation. I was so worried that I did this wrong and would not get it, but the charges went through. Odd, huh?
You must have got lucky!
Hello,
I signed up last week and received an invitation a few days later. It would appear I will be getting the February box as my next bill date is in March. I wish I had known about this sooner, that clutch is great!
Any idea when the February boxes are due to be shipped. They took my money on the first but I haven’t heard anything since.
I think it’s around the 20th?
I asked about spoilers on their FB site and someone else asked about shipping–they said they were working to get them out at the END of this month 🙁 But that potential spoilers are on their FB photo–I’m guessing the wine facial thing? Who knows, now we wait, a long time haha
Ahh, I hope they hurry up!
That box is awesome! I will have to check it out. I love that hat and the necklace. Do you think if I order it now it will be the same box?
I’m not totally sure?? It might say when you get your invite?
When I signed up last week it didn’t tell me if I would get this month or next month. Turns out my bf isn’t interested in the hat. I was thinking about putting it on eBay or signing up on a trade site but if you don’t get this month let me know!
I don’t think mine told me either what I’d get? I signed up a while ago though?
I ordered this last week without knowing the theme for this month. It’s definitely NOT my style but I’m still pretty happy with it! I love the necklace and hopefully the hat is unisex bc I can’t pull it off but my goofy better half can!
My husband tried it on right away too. He looks like Walter White in it 😉
Nice box. I agree I couldn’t pull off the hat but I know some others that could. The rest of the items are awesome. I can’t wait to see what some other months bring.
Me either!!!!
I love your review! I really hope that they will let me review a box for my blog, I am on a list for an invite but it seems like it is taking foreverrr. lol.
I signed up a few weeks ago for the list, but I think it only took a few days. Maybe not even that! It was quick.
I’m glad I waited to sign up. I hardly think i would have used any item, apart from the clutch.
It’s going to be fun seeing what they send!
I can’t wait for my box to arrive now. I was a little nervous cause I had no idea what to expect.
The first box of a brand new subscription box is always so exciting and nerve racking!!
Wow, I’m really glad I didn’t give into my temptation and order this box when all the buzz came out. I held out for a review and now I know its not the right fit for me. Beautiful stuff for a woman super into fashion, but I would not use a single item from that box. I’m really looking for a box that is similar to Popsugar, but with more focus on home stuff (not food) and less focus on fashion. Does that box even exist?
Not to my knowledge but I wish it did! Birchbox does limited edition home boxes and I always love them. I soo wish they did them monthly. I think it’s 2x/year though.
I so want a box like that also, the best box I can think of is one of the Fancy boxes, but I wish they would do a home only theme style box from Fancy.
Someone should make one.
ooh, i really like this! so glad to see a review of this box. i think i’ll be ordering this for next month instead of PSMH!
xo.
jenn @ hello, rigby!
I can’t wait to see what they do monthly!
I’m a little nervous now because I subscribed to this box, and I’m not sure I’m trendy enough to pull it off! Do you think this is the same box that monthly subscribers are going to get?
I e-mailed to confirm, but I hope so!
Dang it – I cracked….in under 5 minutes and looked.
I’m fairly happy! Like you, the hat is too much for me, but as I was walking to my afternoon meetings, I realized I have the perfect person to give it to! The rest of the box still has more than enough value to me to justify the cost…..probably not appropriate to wear the bullet necklace to work, huh?
I wonder if people would notice?
I live in Wisconsin remember? Anything to do with bullets is sure to be recognized – lol Can’t wait to see what it looks like in person!
Ha!!!!!! I should have known that! My husband grew up there!
I love that necklace! So cool!
Did you subscribe?
No I didn’t..:( I’m trying to resist!
Definitely a younger box…hope my daughter likes it because I can’t use a single item.
I think you can return if you aren’t happy?
I love this box! But I will have to wait for a coupon code or something.
That’s be great if they had one!
Its a lot like the Nina Garcia box but cheaper. I’m going to assume that it is a different theme every month. I may have to try this. I get the Nina one now but I’m not sure I’m cutting edge enough for her style. LOL . I think this one may be on my radar for next month.
I would assume the same? I hope so anyway!
I ordered the box, now wishing I didn’t if this is what they are going to send! I am NOT a rocker and have no use for the stuff!! So if they send this it will be going right back!
I hope you can if you don’t like it!
I just ordered a new quarterly box its
Veronica Belmont , It looks cool. Seems to be a little of everything. I’ll let you all know when I get it. Very excited
I can’t wait to hear what’s in it!
I’m very excited to try it. I’ll let you know.
Yikes, this is definitely not for me. I’m so glad I didn’t order, I’d be mad with myself if I’d spent so much on stuff I’d never use. Thanks for the review, because it shows me this type of box is wrong for me. PopSugar is more my speed, or Fab Fit Fun maybe?
I hope we get some Spring FFF spoilers soon!
OMG. I love this! I’ve been waiting for a true fashion box. Hmmm…hats look funny on me, but I like the idea of getting new trendy fashion to try every month. Change up my everyday look. Will I still be able to get this box if I can order soon? I requested an invite. Still waiting…
I’m not sure if you’d get this box? Hopefully it’ll tell you when you get an invite! Let me know when it comes okay??
This is strange because I signed up yesterday and did not have a waiting list at all, yet it sounds like some who signed up earlier haven’t gotten invites yet. Hmmm. If you didn’t have to give payment info when you requested the invite, I’d try to register now and see what happens. This is for the February box, by the way, though I just got an email that said if I want the January box, I can get it too with a one time charge for it.
I cannot believe you received your box. I am so excited. I saw the bullet necklace on their website and was secretly hoping that it was in the first box. That makes the box for me. I can’t wait to get my box this week.
They sent me this one to review. I ordered one too but I don’t know if that shipped yet??
Sounds like this one will give Popsugar some competition:). I will be interested to see what the next box is like.
Me too!
I just got my invite and I was waiting for a review before I ordered it. I’m a little iffy on it though. The only thing that I really like is the bag, the necklace is pretty cool but I’m not sure if I’d ever wear it.
Reviews Until You Drop
Does it say what box it will start with?
This is definitely not my style, so glad I didn’t order. I like the idea of it, but too trendy for my taste.
I am so curious about this one and coming months!
Oh my word I love that necklace!
You can find similar necklace on Etsy. She makes them from real bullets and look very nice. I’ve thought about ordering one.
OMG I LOVE this box!!!! Is there any way to get it or did you have to sign up previously??
I saw somewhere that for the Jan. box you needed to sign up by the 15th? I think I read that on Makeuptalk??
Erin, if you look at the first reply to this review, you’ll see a possibility for getting the January box, but I have no idea if it will apply to people who sign up today. Good luck!
That necklace on their site was what made me sign up for SocialBliss. I was soooo hoping it would be in this box. I signed up before the 15th so I’m just sitting here crossing my fingers that it’s in the box that I get. I’m with you….no way is that hat going to look good on me LOL
My husband didn’t look half bad, but he looks good in a lot of things!
Lyndie, your comment just made my day! Thank you so much and I hope you receive this box!
I received an email saying that I’m scheduled for the February box and I’m glad. They gave me an option to request the January box, but I didn’t – The only item I would like in the January box is maybe the bullet necklace. It’s exciting though, I’m always on the lookout for fashion boxes. I have Nina Garcia, Stitch Fix, Your Bijoux Box, and Social Bliss now! I canceled Popsugar, the practical value/delight was just not there, and I couldn’t justify it any longer, 3 months, 3 strikes, unsubscribed!
I’m kind of confused. I went to the site to request an invitation, somehow got straight in to order and ordered a 3 month gift sub. I never got a confirmation email and haven’t heard anything from them since. I’ve even written to them asking for confirmation (3 days ago) and haven’t heard back. I was definitely charged, but was I supposed to get an email from them? It looks like others who commented here got a confirmation that their first box would be Feb and then later, an offer to buy January’s box. I can’t even find a phone number to call them. :/
I never got a confirmation when I subscribed either. I don’t really know??
Mine came yesterday!!!
I got the blue studded clutch/swing. I LOVE IT! I’ve been debating over clutches for 3 months – now I don’t have to make a decision. I’m not a rocker girl type – but this purse has just enough edge. The studs are pointy though – I’m going to need to be careful when I grab it – it could be used as a weapon – lol. The eyeshadow/lip pallete is very nice and one I’ll use. I also, really like the necklace. I think it’ll look great with LBD. The hat is in the gift pile – but I think my cousin’s wife will love it – totally fits her and her personality and she can pull it off. I just laughed at myself in the mirror when I tried it – lol.
Overall, I’m happy I took the chance. I think I’m happier with this rocker box then the Nina Gracia one……
I can’t wait to see what they do next month! I look so silly in that hat!
Jennifer, thanks so much for your kind review! I am overwhelmed with the positive response here on my bullet necklace : ) Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments!
Thank you for stopping by! Such a cool story and unique item!
Mine just arrived today! I got a blue clutch–the black looks much more classic. I’m going to try to return the box (the site says satisfaction guaranteed)–this just wasn’t for me 🙁
Let me know how it goes!
Ahh yay mine came today!! I got the blue studded clutch but everything else was like yours. I LOVE the necklace. My u
The one I bought came today too! I don’t think I ever got a shipping notification though? My clutch was blue as well!
Haha oops, clicked send too soon. I was saying my husband (former Marine) told me exactly what kind of bullet (shell casing) it was. Totally love the meaning behind it, and it’s just the right amount of edgy for me. I won’t use the fedora, as it seems is the case with most people here! I’ll probably give it another month to decide if I still like it, but it’s a promising start!
Agreed! I can’t wait to see what they do!
I am on the waiting list for this subscription but received an email asking if I wanted January. I replied yes but have not heard anything. Do you have any insight on this?
Love your blog. You have me addicted to numerous boxes. Wishing I had an unlimited budget or a blog to use so they would send me boxes to review. As a single mommy with two kiddos I would love that!!
Thank you in advance.
Adrianna
You know, I don’t know. The one I ordered on my own just appeared at my door Friday (?) with no shipping notification at all. My account doesn’t say anything either.
I hope you hear back from them soon!!!!
I didn’t get this box, but I just traded for the Blue Leather Clutch! I cannot wait til it gets to me! =)
