Being someone that are into beauty box even before Malaysia have any and are still pretty much a believer in beauty box, it makes me sad to see what used to be a “growing like a mushroom” phenomena is now just a barely surviving hype. We bid our farewell to a few beauty box subscription service recently and I’m preparing myself to bid farewell to another love end of the month. So so sad 🙁
Just when I was feeling down and blue, I heard there’s a new box coming up. I literally jumped from my seat and did some checking on who the newbie is. Ahh! It is the Little Black Box 😀
For the debut box, there are three different style to choose from that best reflects your personality and fashion sense – The Hipster, Classic Chic and Girly Girl. It is a no brainer on which style I choose. The name just gave it away but I was also contemplating to choose something close to what I like. So I was in between choosing Classic Chic or Girly Girl. Let’s just say The Hipster style is my alter ego lol. In the end I’ve decided to go with Girly Girl as it is just so me and suitable for my everyday wear.
What greeted me during unboxing is this little card. It also bears the next three style for the next upcoming box. Interesting!
Here you go! Little Black Box – Girly Girl edition. I’ve decided not to show you the box because LBB is using Wonderbox’s box, which I strongly detest because I feel that LBB should have their own box or pouch or whatever. Their personalise box will only be out early 2014. So let’s keep an eye on the box thereafter, aight?
There will not be a stated amount of fashion accessories or item that you will receive in each month. The item that each of you will receive is a myriad of items according to your theme and style of choice. Each month, expect a theme with three different style to choose from.
The above picture is a bit too confusing to see the accessories so here’s another picture on my favourite white background 😀
A breath of fresh idea is always a good thing isn’t it. We’ve been spoilt with too much of beauty box and getting a fashion subscription box definitely interest me at certain level. I believe it will intrigue those that are not so into beauty box as well.
Let’s walk through the content for Girly Girl box shall we? I’m going to begin with item that I like the most.
Can you see how I can relate to the theme? All the diamante, all the ribbon design, heart and pearl is just right down my style alley. For a debut box, I think it’s quite good and well selected. The accessories is in good quality, not some cheapo stuff from pasar malam. I like the mix selection of accessories covering from top to bottom ranging from earring ,to necklace, to bangle, to ring, to bag charm and also hair clip. It would be even better if the hair clip is anklet? Just saying 😀
All these is definitely costing more than the subscription fee of RM59.90. If I roughly calculate it correctly, the content easily cost about RM150 to RM200. So it’s quite worth it, especially when the quality is not that bad.
Since this box review is highly requested by most of you, do let me know what you think by commenting below. Commenting now is made easier because you can comment using your Facebook, Twitter, WordPress or even Google+ account. I’m quite curious to know your thoughts on this breath of fresh air. As for me, I do have a soft spot for accessories. I would like to see big chunky rings and charm bracelets because that’s my all time favourite and most purchase accessories 😀

The bag charm!! omg!! <3 <3
Hahaha. I knew you’ll love this one 😛
yeah! the perfect kinda divaness!! <3
For Datin you hahahaa
It’s good to know that it’s good quality stuff! I think this theme is too girly for me! 😛 I like the bracelet though.
Next month’s Great Gatsby theme is most intriguing. I loved the movie, especially the vibrant and colourful scenery. Seriously thinking of getting it… But I hardly wear rings and bracelets due to my line of work, too fussy to maintain. Decisions, decisions…
Wear it on the weekend or when you are on dates! haha 😀
Oops, my guy also works in the same line, so he’s used to seeing me bare faced, and accessories-less! 😛 I really hardly ever wear make up and dress fancy unless we are going for dinner or drinks. Maybe this will be a nice surprise for him. >.<
Oh oppsss. I used to work at the same place as my other half but I always dressed up and put on makeup 😀
omg! so cute & nice!
I’ve saw other style content and I still prefer Girly Girl more than the rest 😀
I like the black jewel bangle! Will you be able to use all of them? I don’t think people will subscribed it consistently every month like beauty box.
Yes because I’m into jewelry as well. It depends. There’s a group of people that are not into paying for beauty samples. These are the people that will want this type of box :). It’s all full-size somemore lol
Fashion theme box is very easy for girls to match for own cloths especially go for dinner as did not need to search everywhere to find accessories that match with theme.
You are right! I never thought of this but I do have to agree with you on the convenience of this type of theme box.
Love the bracelet and ribbon clips. I thought the box was well put and it brings a new level of surprise element and innovation. For a fashion accessory babe this box may even be subscribed as a gift to that person. Kudos to the founders of this little black box! Can’t help but sing praises for this concept as it is truly a thinking out of the box. No pun intended 🙂
You’ll see the hair clip often in the blog from now on lol.
I wasn’t sure what to expect at first. The night before I kept thinking what is in the box. It’s actually quite straight forward and like you said, it will serve as a great gifting.
Hahahahaha, you read my mind. In some of your posts, you wore a cute hairband. I am definitely looking forward to the regular appearance of these cutie pink hair clips. Reminds me of Hello Kitty. And I will adore you more with the clips on. My favourite Street Love version of Hello Kitty 😀
Aik? I wore it at home the other day and my mum said I look like Hello Kitty while pointing to my Hello Kitty from McDonalds hahahaha. She said “now same same”. So funny. You’re cute!
The girly girl edition really very sweet! <3 So many bows and ribbons and girly stuff *swoon*
So girly girl right? Suits the theme very much!
I would personally think its overpriced for jewellery box, these thing can get at very cheap price if you know where to hunt for it.. and accessories styling is kinda personal.. and sometimes it may looked nice but does not suits us …
Yeap. If you have the time and know where to shop for cheap accessories, you can definitely find cheaper ones. I for one don’t have time lol. I still prefer online shopping when it comes to accessories. Fashion box is a hit or miss thing. This Girly Girl may hit my style exactly and it may not at certain months.
this debut box caught my attention 😀 quite a fresh idea, I like all of the items in it , the bangle look very classy. nice nice 😀 very lucky that there is no scratches line on the big black jewel :] is the debut box sold out? I am now interested for their classic chic box! haha 😀
No no, not sold out yet. You can still order. Try email them and see? 😀
ok thank you 😀 i saw some reviews of the box from other blogger, just noticed that subscriber might not get the exactly same accessories even though they subscribe the same theme of box~
Really? Wah! Then the variety is really huge!
Wah, it’s a steal at that price!! Shall order it for myself, hehe
Which style you eyeing?
Either classic chic or girly girl 😉
Good choice! 😉
