Rachel Zoe Box of Style Spring 2016 Subscription Box Review

I have the discount card 50$ for Rachel Zoe. It will expires on 3/31/2016.i will not use it. I don’t if can be use by someone else . I hope so
If someone want to use it let me know and i give you The card number

I would never use this bag for a music festival, I don’t trust it. I feel like it would be so easy to steal from. I live in NYC and I don’t even want to use this in my daily life lol. Going on the subway with a bag that doesn’t really close doesn’t thrill me.

This is my first box of style and I am a little iffy on it. Just because the box is pretty pricey (they even charge you for shipping).

+The bag is cute. It’s perfect for a little store outing, or the little bag you use for going out for drinks with friends. I like the bag. It’s small, but cute.
+The cuff, is pretty flimsy to me and I def. wouldn’t value it at $45. I don’t know who, really, would pay $45 for it… Given that, It’s an overall cute bracelet.
+The dry shampoo is nice. I use dry shampoo frequently. So, it’s nice to have this on-stock. However, It’s not as good smelling nor works as well as KMS or Living Proof dry shampoos. I def. prefer those.
+The creme eye shadow shade that I got is called “venetian” and it’s like a dusty/moss green. It’s cute, I just unfortunately have very similar products, I wish I had gotten a goldy one!
+The headphones are really awesome! They are like soundproof! And, I use headphones frequently at the gym ( I am normally just using the apple ones that came with my phone). I think it’s crazy though to pay $99 for a pair of bud earphones! I think the most I would pay is $40.
+The blotting tissues are a score and thank you Rachel Zoe for introducing me to these. Great find.
+I love La Mer sample! I thought that was AMAZING that was included. Probably my favorite thing of the box.

Overall, I was just underwhelmed by the box. 🙁

Hey does anyone want to trade bracelets with me? I received silver and I really wanted the gold one!

I thought it was a great box, I love the RZ boxes though! Only missed the very first spring 2015 one. I wanted it!

Does anyone who received a more caramel colored bad want to swap for the brown? Vdocter at Gmail!

Finally just got my box and have been avoiding this post to not see full spoilers. I opened my boxed and loved everything about it. The bag is perfect for a quick light outing. I live in a city so it is perfect for bar night out or when I just don’t need a lot of stuff. I got the venetian color which is different, but will go with my eyes and make a different smokey eye if I ever decide to do that. Ear buds are cool and nice to have a back up quality pair. I love dry shampoo, excited to use LeMar and blotting papers I don’t seem me using but I love that they packed in 100 so if I did use them I would get a lot of uses out of them. I think this is a great box. I was frustrated it was mid March, but since this is the first box I didn’t know how long it would take. Thanks for a wonderful curated box!

Finally got my bag after several emails. I love the earphones, silver cuff and dry shampoo. The Jouer eye pencil isn’t bad. The oil blotting papers are useless for me, but that’s ok, can’t love it all. I am disappointed with the bag, as it is teeny tiny, my wallet will never fit and the drawstring top seems unsafe.

I still haven’t received a shipping notice & unlike others, they never reached out to me or offered expedited shipping. They did respond to my email last week “with a sorry we had issues” response. I only wanted this box for the bag & it’s sounding less diserable every time I read a comment. I asked for a refund & I hope they will gladly give it to me since they are having issues. I’m sad because this was my favorite subscription but it seems to be going downhill with every box. I hope it’s not a repeat of the Nina Garcia box.

I love the RZ box but I don’t always love everything in it. But that’s with all of my subscriptions. But, by the time Christmas rolls around, I have a lot already put up for gifts. The purse is entirely too small for me but it is a nice luxury gift for one of my daughters-in-law. I wouldn’t want to spend that much on a purse for someone else so it makes it great that I can gift it. I have a gift closet that I keep items from all of my sub boxes in and it’s great for any time a birthday or other occasion rolls around that I forget. And that is how I justify all of my sub boxes to my husband! lol

Is there anyone looking to swap a silver bracelet for a gold one? I received the gold and would prefer the silver!! I also received the eye shadow in Granite and would be willing to trade for a brown or blue. I am not on the swap site so will have to do it this way, lol.

I have my box! Love everything. Will put a drawstring cloth bag inside my bag so that I won’t stain the leather. Makeup or ink will ruin this. I was curious why the earbuds didn’t get a leather wrap to hold the earbuds together. Not sure if I will use blotting papers. Love the percent off coupons for brands. This is my third box. I love something in every box.

Email I got from customer service:

“We only shipped out one shade of the Shaffer LA bucket bag however, the brand has explained to us that since each bag is handmade here in LA, leather is natural and takes dyes differently and will have small variation from skin area to skin area. These may be the differences in color you are noticing.

The brands logo is a diver and embossed on full priced products not co-branded items – they provided the story of the diver on our co-branded tag so customers know what the logo means. Any future Shaffer LA products will be identifiable by a diver – sometimes in an obvious place and sometimes hidden.”

I don’t know though…my bag is VERY dark. Maybe they ran out of the lighter color and are just using this as an excuse? Oh well.
As for the logo…that disappoints me. Makes me feel like we got a “knock-off”, and the hero item wasn’t advertised that way. I thought we were getting the real thing from the designer’s site like we have in the past (the bracelet from the first box, the watch in the fall box, etc.) I hope they aren’t going to switch to “exclusives”/knock-offs in the future.

I really liked this box and it was a great value too. I wish the straps were adjustable because my bag is also long but hey its a leather bag in a subscription that cost you $100 or less. The only thing I was sorta bummed about was getting the blue eyeshadow although I guess it will probably work as I have blue eyes. I am just more of a less is more makeup kinda girl so would have preferred a metallic neutral. I also got the gold bracelet and that seemed to be something that the ones who got their boxes later seemed to get and it fit perfectly. I’m sure Ill use everything in this box and not many other subscriptions can I say that about. I don’t know many boxes that offer $10 or $20 off a box and it also included a leather bag that you knew about ahead of time as well as other name brand items. Not to mention the quality of the packaging. I can think of several from $150-$300 plus that would not give you nearly as much good stuff as her subscription does. It may not be a win for everyone but this box was definitely my style. I cant wait to see what the summer box will have in it. I don’t think she can top what she did last year 😉

Thrilled that I got the gold bracelet! My bag is a little darker than expected. Looks more brown than caramel. Overall I’m pleased with the box. May cancel and then resubscribe for the yearly rate.

I like everything except for the bag. The strap was way too long on me and I didn’t care for the color and the interior enough to have it adjusted. My Jouer is a dark blue which is perfect for me.

I like the purse more than I expected, but unfortunately it’s too short to wear cross-body. The photo Liz posted makes it look like a really long strap and I don’t feel mine looks that long. But then again I’m plus sized so of course the strap seems short to me.

Anyone have any measurements of the strap from shoulder to the top of the purse?

I got my box today and would say I’m impressed with everything except the bag. It is small and not very polished, but I was most frustrated that it wasn’t all leather! The strap and cord (not tassels) for draw string look like fake leather. Even the thickness and backing of that material is different. I certainly wouldn’t ever spend $150 for this bag. Maybe $30, at most. The rest of the items make this worth the $100.

I’m really hoping for a better hero item in the next box. I’m still hating that I missed last spring’s cuff. Anyone have one of those they would swap?

My box finally arrived today. Like another poster the bracelet technically fit but looked odd. So that went up for swap along with most of my box. Still trying to decide on the bag and the eyeshadow (I got serene – a light pink). I’m not sure I’ll get much use out of either but feel I should keep something out of the box… This was a total miss for me. 🙁

The bag is certainly much smaller than it looked in the spoiler. Not sure I’ll get a lot of use out of it but I love it and I look forward to creating an outfit to go with it. Mine is the same color as the spoiler and I think it’s a great color for all seasons. It doesn’t scream spring but it’s very much in keeping with Rachel’s style. If I didn’t like her style I wouldn’t get the box. Everything in the box fits the theme and I think it’s a great box. RZ does a well thought out box.

my least favorite box but still good – one thing is that the bag is the color you have in your picture NOT the color from the spoilers that I was hoping for. it’s brown not tan.

1st box from RZ! At least for me it’s better than the valentine Luxor box; I still have no idea what to do with the entire box of items I won’t be able to use lol. Got the silver one, a bit small for my big hand but still happy to get the color I wanted. Unfortunately, I got the marble jouer, which again, no idea what to do; probably gift away or swap it.

I have the yellow gold cuff listed and I’m wanting to swap for silver if anyone is interested:)

Still no response from RZ customer service about my missing items. While the dry shampoo and blotting papers aren’t high value products they were still supposed to be included. I really don’t enjoy chasing down what I paid for….I’ve been a huge RZ box of style supporter since the first box so I’m hoping they get it together and (1) respond to those with issues and fix them and (2) ship everyone their boxes already. It would seem like they grew too quickly, which would be understandable for a startup, but not for a well established brand with an existing e-commerce site.

I’m looking to swap for the silver bracelet if anyone wants the gold!

I usually love RZ boxes, but I absolutely despise this bag! It just doesn’t seem at all what was advertised. It isn’t the caramel color, and it just looks like someone started making a bag and then stopped somewhere in the middle.
