Glossybox December 2012

[emmakey9]

Didn't GB say that the December boxes would ship between December 10th - 14th?

I'm super annoyed. I ordered the R29 box the very first day it was available (Nov. 27) as a gift for my mom for christmas. I received a conformation e-mail from R29 saying that my order had been confirmed shortly after.. On the page for the box is says shipping is expected within 2-5 business days. WELL it had officially been 14 days and I haven't received ANY email confirming it has been shipped. I emailed R29 and they said they would send a follow up to GB to ship out my box.. So I guess it is GB that is sending out the boxes, NOT R29. ugh. guess it won't be here before christmas! if I don't get a shipping confirmation by Friday morning I guess I will try to call R29 and cancel. boo.

They most likely did ship..usually I get my box then the tracking number...lol or both on the same day.

Might wanna give 'em an extra month. I just saw on Facebook that "the man repeller" is curating the January box. Not sure if that's good or bad?! I've no clue who she is but she looks hip and the box shown is a grey/silver....might be a great box?!!!! (Fingers crossed!)

I'm kinda annoyed to be STILL getting emails saying I could send $15 boxes to my friends. They did that already this month! Glossybox, the only thing I want you to be sending me is rectangular, pink (or red, or whatever color you want), filled with fancy beauty products, and arriving on my doorstep!

 Huh? I wonder what "man-repelling" products we can expect?

Heehee, I know right?! Hope the name is no indication! Yikes!

Oh my. From the "man repeller" facebook:

"The Man Repeller is a site dedicated to the celebration of fashion trends that women love and men hate. Think harem pants, full length jumpsuits, clogs, shoulder pads, loads o'fur and pubic hair. Kidding about that last one. Ish."

Oh my. There are no words.

I think Glossy Box may have Jumped The Shark.

That does not sound appealing...

Yeah, I think I'm siding with the men on this one...

 I look forward to it...the site is fun and humorous and interesting.

And they feature lots of good stuff on their site in their makeup posts...Essie polishes, NARS blushes, Diorskin, YSL, Bumble and Bumble...excited!

Don't take the Man Repeller description too seriously, it's a bit tongue in cheek.  It's a high fashion blog, she's been mentioned in Elle, etc.  It's more 'fashion is for ourselves, not for picking up men'.

You're right - let's hope for the best. I'd love love love to get some Bumble&Bumble!

Although in all honesty, I would've preferred a holiday-themed box for the holidays, and the man-repeller for some other occasion (say, an April box). I mean, IMO the holidays should be about the holidays, and not about promoting a blog, however great it may be.

Well, the man repeller is doing the January box, which  will be after the holidays (most of us will receive it in almost February)...the one on it's way should be the holiday box. I'm hoping it's good! 

Though to be honest, I don't know what a true holiday theme in a beauty box would really entail? They do all seem to be doing a glitzy glamorous theme for December, so there's shimmer, bold eyes/lips, etc...but what other kinds of things would you be wanting for holidays? 

Something soothing would be nice...family time, yikes.

LOL, me too!

Agreed! Yuck...

 

[OiiO]

Yeah... I checked out her blog and although she looks very high fashion in what she wears and obviously has very sharp personal style, I don't want to take any beauty-related advice from her based on the the condition her skin and hair are in...

D'oh! It's the January box! All I can focus on is December, so I automatically supposed it was for December. Whew. As for the holidays, I would love a red box like last year's UK one with some deep-red or sparkly dark green nailpolish. Maybe something with a pine or citrus/cinnamon scent? But it's more about the presentation, I just really didn't like the thought of my Christmas box having a "man-repeller" on it, like the facebook photo shows. Good thing I was mistaken about that.
