What kills me is it looks like my box was shipped 2 days ago: 12/18.  It's still in NJ.  I'm in CA.  

A couple days ago on FB I commented how I hadn't got the shipping email (about two days after the original post).  They said they were still sending the emails out but check your account for a tracking.  I did the next day and yes it finally had a shipping confirmation # but it had no info (so not shipped probably).  I half wonder if my comment made them double check for me and then they prepared a shipping label to send - that is, my box was NOT sent in the first wave?  If so, good on them for catching it, but I wish it had shipped with everyone else's.  

Ever since I canceled my monthly sub for the R29 3 mo sub, I've had issues 3 of the last 4 months: I don't get shipping confirmation emails anymore AND my box gets sent really late in comparison to others.  I live in CA so it takes awhile to arrive esp when it gets shipped late.  By the time I get my box, trades here are done.  Luckily, minus the first Missha I got I've been lucky but I wish they could get my account back to "normal" so I didn't have to monitor and nag them so much.

I hope I get a good Zoya at least (basically anything but Ziv) to compensate for the wait.  Storm or Electra would rock my socks.

I'm in California and per the shipping notification it says it's still in Indiana but I have the box at home. So keep hope!

So I got both of my boxes today.  I've been excited and anxiously awaiting them, so I was kind of sad to get pretty much the same box.  I did get different Zoya nail polish colors - I got the gold and the silver.  I have to learn to stop hoping to get certain things or hoping not to get others, since I was hoping to get the black glitter or the purple/pink that I saw other people getting.  I also got 2 lipsticks, neither of which I will use most likely.  I did get 2 different bath salts, so that made me happy.  Even though I got things I was hoping not to get, I can say that I'm happier with the actual contents and variety than I have been in the past.  

Also, did anyone else get a magnetic necklace from JewelMint?  It's one of the 2 different ones I got, and while I like it, I thought it rather curious that the top comes off and it's magnetic.  

Hope everyone else is loving their stuff!

I got the same necklace and felt the same way...  It's pretty, but kind of strange, with it being magnetic and having a secret compartment.

hi all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> new to the group. i got my first glossybox today.

I got:

 
Zoya Electra
Denise Richards hairspray
White Ginger epsom salts
Wella Velvet Amplifier packet
Jewelmint "plume divine" necklace http://www.jewelmint.com/jewelry/plume-divine-necklace
Issey Miyake Pleats Please
Mark M.Powerment Petal lipstick

overall I like the brands of the items, the size and the quality but not the items themselves.
i'd like to trade zoya electra, the hairspray and the jewelmint necklace.
 
the only thing I personally like right out of the box is the mark lipstick, it is close in color to mac modesty, maybe a notch off. but i like it. i wish i had gotten a different jewelry piece and nail polish.

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.

LOVE LOVE LOVE what you got

Well I just got my second box and basically got the exact same box except for the nail polish color, bath salt scent, and the jewelry. Oh well, I'm giving my mom some of it in a little sample box I'm making her for Christmas... even though most of the "samples" in it are all full size!

I loved both my boxes. I couldn't use the Bath oil but that is OK. I really enjoyed the jewelry.

So.... I received 4 boxes, 3 for gifts, one for me. Lo and behold, they are ALL THE SAME. Electra polish, lipstick, and FOUR of the same silver lariat necklaces. I was looking forward to different polishes and jewelry, bummer. Ohhh well. At least they got here in time for Christmas!

Do you have a picture of the necklace?

I got all 5 of my boxes today and they were all different!!! I was so excited. My sister opened hers from me and loved hers! She got a gold cuff that is perfect for her! Not crazy about the magnetic necklace but my sister may love it so I might just gift it to her. I also got the silver chain belt, the bottle necklace and another bracelet with different colored ovals.

On another note... I won the Please Pleats FB contest and well today I got an email from GB saying that they chose too many winners and would I accept a free 6 months sub instead. I'm actually okay with it as long as they honor it. Kind of scared to cancel until I know for sure. Oh and another weird thing... I was double charged and I had sent them an email about it. Well, they gave me a refund but I still got the box! Crazy!

It didn't arrive today as I had hoped...boo! Well, something to look forward to tomorrow...or whenever it gets here...come on already, I want to see what's in it!!!!!!!

  The anticipation is killing me.....

I was scheduled to get my boxes between today and the 26th - my sub and my gift boxes both arrived today, so there's hope, more western people (I am in West Texas).

I got two almost identical boxes. The only difference was the Jewelmint piece. They uh, sure did send me a bracelet. The other one was a necklace. Someone already posted it, it's the weird square one. Sorry about the awkward photo. I couldn't even get it around my wrist and I have pretty small wrists. It's so horribly tacky, I could use it for a Halloween costume.





I couldn't even get the stupid bracelet around my wrist.

My card said my boxes should have this:

Denise Richards Volume Extend by Cristophe

Ecru New York Cosmetic Hair Care

Heartland Fragrance Co. bath salts

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray

Pleats Please by Issey Miyake

Zoya nail lacquer

and Jewelmint.

...but I got:

Denise Richards Volume Extend by Cristophe

Heartland Fragrance Co. bath salts

Pleats Please by Issey Miyake

mark. Lipclick Luxe Lipstick in m. powerment

Zoya nail lacquer in Ziv

the Wella sample

and Jewelmint.

The only reason I would complain is that I actually ended up with one less deluxe sized sample, and I missed out on the two hair products I actually *might* use.

and Jewelmint

 

[MyriadVoices]

eek! i love love LOVE this month's box!!!

but I hate my jewelmint piece. I got this "Chain to You" belt: http://start.jewelmint.com/k/fbbib/product/3785?back_btn=shop%3Eall

It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a padlock charm on it. Is it a chastity belt?

 

[Jamie P]

I am not sure what to think. Got my box today. My bracelet doesn't come close to being big enough to fit my wrist. Avon lipstick? I enjoyed the oil and the salts will be nice... but I can get that anywhere. The perfume and hair sample reminded me of birchbox. I think I'm canceling. The nail polish and oil are the only things I like and not worth $21

 

[Nikki Apostolou]

I wish there would have been more variety

Someone finally got the same necklace as me! I like it out of the options that they sent, though I might not have picked it for myself.

What are other scents of bath salts people are getting besides White Ginger?

This is my EXACT thoughts for my second box that came in today (except switch the bathsalts and the oil).  I got that bulky, squareish bracelet that looks cool, but it is in no way flexible and the palm of my hand is bigger than the whole bracelet!
