Glossybox December 2012

[amygab1126]

I got my box today and am soooo disappointed with it. When I pulled the content card out, before unwrapping it, I thought, "Ok..I hate jewelry, but that glittery silver Zoya polish and Wella Amplifier look awesome..." I open it up, and, "Ohhhhh crap

" The Zoya I got is gold (Ziv). This is the fourth time I've gotten a gold polish in a subscription box this year, and it's one of the only colors I just will NOT wear. I hate gold. Then the Wella product is a tiny little thing that I don't think is even enough for one use on my length of hair. I got this gaudy brass-looking necklace with metal feathers. OMG - for a girl who doesn't wear jewelry, this was so far from a, "Well, maybe someday..." option. Just ugly. And epsom salts? What? Who takes baths? Hell, even if I did, I wouldn't want this as part of a $21 box. The Mark lipstick is totally awesome and I guess I'll try the body oil. I hate the perfume, but I pretty much always hate any perfume sample I receive in a sub box (I wish they wouldn't waste part of our subscription sending us the one thing that's the absolute easiest thing to get for FREE). This is the first month I've hated my Glossybox so much, and I've been getting it since it first launched in the US.

You can mix your bath salts with olive or other oil in a little tub and make a good smelling scrub /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> A good ratio to start with, I read, was 2:1 (saltil).

I've pretty much stayed off the glossybox threads since I cxl'd in August - this box looked kind of good though! I may resub as a bday prezzie to myself in Jan or Feb.

I got the same necklace! I'm not really a wearer of large jewelry, but it's an interesting concept, a magnetic little box!

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

This is the same thing I got, and I absolutley love it!  I love it so much!  But... my hands are large and the bracelet is small so I have to give it to my mother in law for Christmas.  Even with lotion it was painful to get off and I wished I hadn't squeezed it on.  I wish this came in a larger size.  I would pay full price for it on Jewelmint.  I also love my White Ginger bath salts and would love more.

What I am extra happy about is that I sneaked at the Spoiler card my Secret Santa gave me and she got me two Zoya polishes from the Ornate collection and neither was the Black one. WHOOHOO!

I got my 40% off box today, and I'm SUPER happy with it! One of my favorite boxes so far!

I got the bath salts, bath oil, Pleats Please,mark lipstick, Zoya in storm, and Wella foil. And I love my jewelmint piece!



It's a long chain with a cute bottle pendant! Of everything I've seen that they've sent so far, this is the closest to my style (I love novelty pendants, etc). Storm is gorgeous and the one I wanted most...the lipstick is cute and a good color...love the packaging.

The bath salts and oil are welcome because I've been having serious muscle aches and baths help.

I haven't seen anyone else with a bracelet. Did anyone else get one?
I got my box today and got the exact same one! I don't really care for it though. It is pretty, but I was praying for the knuckle rings!

My box is at my house but I'm 500 miles away until next Thursday. Saaaaaaad.

I'm a bit perplexed....

So the card I got in the box says I should have gotten:

Denise Richards Volume Extend Spray

Acacia Protein Oil

Heartland Bath Salts

Oscar Blandi Spray

Pleats Please

Zoya Polish

Jewelmint item

What I received was:

DR Finishing Spray

Wella Velvet Amplifier

Mark Lipstick

Heartland Salts

Zoya Polish

Pleats Please

Jewelmint item.

I saw the card first and really wanted to try the Acacia Oil and Oscar Blandi. The Jewelmint item is a chain neckace with stones and beads every so often on the length.

I'm hoping my second box isn't a carbon copy of this one, which I am disappointed in the bait and switch card/box contents inconsistencies this month.

I should know better... Box #2 was a carbon copy of items with the same inconsistencies between the card and contents. The only differences were the polish color and this one had a bracelet in it.

I really like that one. Mine should be here today.  Hoping I get something good, but I'm sure I won't!

BUT... small confession.  I was poking around Jewelmint yesterday and say the $29 mystery box.  4 mystery pieces for $29.  Plus the new customer 2 for $29.  So I picked something I liked (the handcuff braclet!) and got that + 4 mystery items for $29 and free shipping.  Not bad, merry xmas to me, even if my GB piece sucks, right?!

Aw /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My 2nd box is still several days away (just left NJ) so I'm really hoping for a different box than the one I already got...

Got my box today and thought I'd post my JewelMint piece. (Excuse the crappy picture.) It took me a minute to figure out what it was. To begin with, I thought it was a chain for a dog or something. And I'm thinking that's really weird and doesn't make sense at all... but I think it's actually a belt.

Looks like a double bracelet to me, right?

Aha! Found it on JM.

I love that necklace, fingers crossed I get it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And Zoya in Storm!

:0)




pretty happy w/my box. I liked the necklace. It's probably around 30" long although I really like the hoop earrings a couple of people have posted. And I love the Zoya polish!!

 

[fridaypeach]

Well this box just confirmed it.  Glossybox is not for me.  I took a chance due to their BlackFriday special.  I am not going to use anything in this box.  Guess I need to toddle over to the for sale/trade boards and put up a post for the whole box.

Gold nail polish - No thank you

Ring is cute but doesn't fit

Don't like oil

lipstick - not my shade

Perfume - I can't wear most of it (as I get headaches)

Bath Salts - To strong for me. (I get headaches)

 

[Ashitude]

Got my second box today. This was the one gift box I got.

I had to open it up outside and trash the shower oil. It triggers a nasty migraine for me. Too bad.. I liked the smell.
 

Everything was the same but the Zoya was in Storm this time and I got a necklace instead of the knuckle rings.
