Glossybox December 2012

[onthecontrary]

I got my shipping notice for my 40% off box today. It was shipped yesterday and is projected to be delivered between the 19th and 21st 

I'm glad to see they're sending out different Jewelmint pieces. I wear a lot of rings already and most of them are vintage or things I made, so I'm not really interested in any of the ones they have sent so far. I really like the earrings that were posted though! Also, it looks like everyone is getting a Zoya, so that's pretty cool.

I got:

- the Forest Essentials Madurai Jasmine&Mogra Bath&Shower oil

- Heartland Bath Salts in White Tea

- Pleats Please

- Zoya Ornate in Ziv (yaaaay! I've been wanting a gold polish for ages!)

- Jewelmint earrings 

- mark. Lipclick in m.powerment petal (if it's any good, this is my absolute favorite part of the box - LOVE the color!)

- Wella Velvet Amplifier in a foil packet (um... really?!)

All in all I'm very happy! I got a Zoya polish that I will actually use (that must be to make up for last month's lime green Illamasqua), the lipstick is really neat, the shower oil smells awesome and the earrings even kind of go with the polish (although closing and opening them seems to require herculean strength, and they also hang kind of weird - not really straight, but kind of turned out... hard to explain). The Wella foil packet was a bit of a 

 moment, and the perfume isn't really something I'd wear more than a couple of times, but hey, it's all part of the fun.

Oh, and I <3 the wrapping paper this time!


K, now I'm really upset.

I LOVE your box! It's even better than mine which I was very happy with...! Enjoy!

Question...

how large are the hoop earrings?
Thank you! I'm happy too - it's my second GB, and I was not very happy with the first one. 

They're pretty medium sized - just measured and it came to about 1 3/4" in diameter

I got Zoya in "Ziv"?  Not sure if that's the name of it or not, I couldn't find anywhere else on the bottle a name of the color, "Ziv" is right above the TM number on the sticker on the bottom.  

It's a very opaque gold shimmer, not a frost or glitter.  It's pretty.  I don't think this would work for layering over another polish, it's a stand alone color.
 
I'm kind of really disappointed in the jewelry I received.  I don't even understand it.  It's 2 very tiny rings, that fit only below the first knuckle on my pinky fingers.  They're cute rings, but maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe they aren't even supposed to be worn as rings, for all I know.  But they are small, like children's size. I can't bend the first knuckle of my pinky fingers if I wore them, and on the top the design protrudes out (up?) too much.  Maybe I could just string them on a chain and wear them as a necklace, otherwise, these are pretty pointless and unwearable.
 
Perfume and hair oil are tiny.  
 
Salts smell good, I could smell them before I even opened the shipping box.
 
The shower oil is shrink wrapped, so there shouldn't be any complaints of spills.  I haven't opened this yet, it's a really good size though.
 
Overall, I'm disappointed.  Mainly cuz of the jewelry and the hairstuff.  And no makeup.  The polish is nice though.  But I'm glad I got the 40% off, otherwise I might be a lot more upset.
 

as far as i know, jewelmint rings are all sizes 6, 7 or 8.

Yeah I have that problem with earrings too, hopefully if they're big they're also lightweight.

My wedding band is a 6, so, apparently not.

Perhaps they are mid-finger rings? (http://www.nylonmag.com/?parid=8099&section=article)

That's what I figured the intent was, but they aren't flat on the top  or thin like in the picture you linked, they are very substantial and have a protuding design like, well, a wedding/engagement ring set.  They're much too bulky and heavy to be worn like that, they'd just get in the way and the weight of them would cause them to fall off easily.

Sorry for the outburst of box envy.  

And sorry to everyone else for raining on the parade by being less than thrilled with my dec box.

nobody said you had to be positive. That's weird though about your

rings

So true! You should've seen me with my unusable lime green eyeliner last month. 

 

[mermuse]

I was going to order Ziv eventually, so I'd be stoked if I got that color.  I'm thrilled to see the variety rolling in! 

The only personal whine I have is that I got my mom a box that's being mailed to her, and I really wish mine would come in before I leave to visit her so I could trade with her to ensure she will end up with stuff that she will use.  Oh well; it seems like I might end up leaving before it comes in.  Even though my box arrived just outside the edge of the city last night, I know it usually takes a few days for no apparent reason, so I'm not holding my breath. 

I'm pretty excited, though!

 

[princess2010]

I am getting more and more excited about this box!!!! I'll give GB a pass because they never have foil packets.

I'm giving them a pass since they seem to have 5 items not including the packets from what I can tell.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So far, I would be happy with most things, but I really hope I don't get the gold Zoya. Pretty, but I keep getting gold polishes and I don't use the 5 or 6 I already have...
Pass the Gold this way /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> lol

 

[beautymadn3ss]

I really hope I get a bracelet, I'm allergic to everything but gold and palladium and I'm a size 9 for rings /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Missglammygirl]

I got my shipping confirmation! Finally! I was thinking they forgot about me lol.

 

[Ineri218]

I just received my box and I am glad to say this will be my last. I received all the products which are nice but I received a pair of the ugliest and tarnished earrings. Happy I canceled.

 

[Eleda]

I also got these 2 weird

rings
don't know what to do with them now ????
