In light of the Memepocalypse, I decided to try a new subscription box: "Style Box" by Style Story. You can see their website here if you are interested. They currently only ship to Australia!
I got the basic box - there are two types, the basic box for $24 and the deluxe style box for $40 a month (including shipping and taxes - which is why the prices on the site are a bit cheaper.)
The basic box promises "6 different Korean beauty products in a combination of full sized, mini sized and sample sizes delivered straight to your door."
As always, my first impressions video :P For those who prefer to read though...
This is the cardboard box that the products came in. It's quite disappointing because honestly, even Bellabox and LustHaveIt which are $15 subscription boxes can have nice boxes! I know this company is just starting up but honestly the nice boxes really make a subscription box for me personally, and I know it's like this for a lot of people.
Having said that, of course the products are the most important thing, so let's have a look inside...
The first half of the info card. All these three items came in small sample sachets.
I have to mention that info paper is more accurate. This is literally just a piece of paper with this stuff printed on it. Not much production value going on here :P
The second half of the card. These were the "full size products", but it's a mask and a nail polish... The lip product is kind of exciting but these products only add together to make $25.50. (I paid $24 for the box!)
As you can see, for $24 this is extremely underwhelming and I am going to unsubscribe.
Although I'll use everything in the box, I can definitely go on a site like TesterKorea and make myself a haul much more worthwhile with the money.
I know this is a new company so they are still trying to find their feet, but I think this box is only appropriate for the Australians who really don't know what they want in kbeauty and want to try new products... In a very cost-inefficient manner, because they can just order these mini samples themselves randomly :P
I really wanted to like this box but I just didn't, sorry!
In summary, this box isn't particularly good value and I personally would not recommend buying it. It's not like it's TERRIBLE or anything, just underwhelming and personally I would rather spend my money on a lot MORE random samples and sachets with the same amount of money. I think this is their first month so I hope that they can take feedback and improve and I can eventually resubscribe and eat my words!
If for some reason you decide you'd like to subscribe, then here is their website again.
My video of my first impressions and unboxing is here
Until next time, adios amigos!

I totally get why you are not satisfied with this box! I got the Nature Republics Aqua cream in full size + 10 sheetmasks from RoseRose shop for the same price. Really bad value ;(
ReplyDeleteAhh that sounds like a good haul! How are you finding the cream if you don't mind me asking? =D
