I got two of the bracelets and they look ugly and cheap to me. Also, one of my boxes was missing the vial of oil.Best thing about the box was the Zoya nail polish.  Overall I'm disappointed. I canceled.

My box just got delivered. I got the bracelet Antidentite posted, btw lol at your name. It's not something I would've picked out its a little big and falls down my skinny arm almost to my elbow. Glad I didn't get earrings tho bc my ears aren't pierced. I'll probably repurpose the bracelet into some type of decor like on a small candle holder or something. Did anyone get the replacement product from the empty November item? They offered me a collagen serum or something but I haven't rec'd it yet.

That bracelet is just adorable!  Lucky!!

If the collagen serum is the Ole Henriksen, you're gonna love it!  I requested that as a replacement for a dupe item (I received the Glossybox blush in my Oct and Nov box).  I had gotten it when they first gave it out in Aug/Sep (?) and used it up and swapped for a few bottles of it.  Totally HG for me.  I find my complexion to be more even toned and brighter.

Oh the Truth Serum? I love Ole Henriksen, I already have some but will definitely use it all plus a backup!

I received this ring: http://start.jewelmint.com/k/fbbib/product/470?back_btn=shop%3Ering Its going up in the trade thread, it's too big for my thumb!

 
My box also had the white tea bath salts, bath and shower oil, wella velve amplifier, pleats please, mark lipstick,  and zoya electra

Casey Ann - I'm actually thrilled to have gotten the sub!!! They sent me a code yesterday to redeem it! I totally feel like I came out ahead on this one.

This was my first month receiving glossybox and I really think I might just stick around for January, I love the quality of the actual box itself it is super cute and seems very sturdy.  Also I got zoya in storm, which I would have never bought but again, I love it.  My other box had Zoya in Ziv (meh gold polish... would have rather gotten silver) and a bracelet Stylemint gunmeal bird's nest bracelet, but I'm really not a bracelet person.

I would have loved to have gotten that "odd" necklace with the magnet or the little bottle necklace.  Edit: Please keep all swaps to the B/S/T area. 





This is also my first post I've added a photo to, I didn't realize it was soo easy!

Lucky girl! I love both your jewelry items, and you got two different polish colors on top of that? I got Zoya "Electra" but I might re-gift it to my sis-in-law. I just can't pull off the bar glitters. I wonder if they used any criteria to match the jewelry items to the subscribers or if they just sent everything randomly.

There is no Avon hate. Totally mistaking my point. I sold Avon and Mark for 10 years. I'm going to let this drop since I seem to be the only one who felt that way.

I'm not sure what's with the Avon hate. They make the BEST glosses. I haven't used their lipsticks in a long time because I'm a gloss girl but I'm excited to try the mark one in my  box. Avon make some other great products.

I didn't even think of doing a jelly sandwich with Electra.  Thanks for letting me know because I normally wouldn't be interested in a bar glitter, but that could change things!

Thanks for the tips, guys.  Makes sense that they do things in batches, I'm going to hope my extra subs were just the one time variety and I did buy them at different times so maybe I'll get different batches?  Remains to be seen.  It's great to have you guys to bounce ideas off of.  We're all in this together.

Here's the pic of Electra with some jellies over it that changed my mind.  Before that I wasn't really interested in the bar glitter, but after I thought that there were a lot of possibilities if I wanted to get creative.  I'm hoping for Storm in one of my boxes, the glitter looks pretty in the sunlight in photos and I already have Electra to play with but I'm sure if I get a double it'll work as a great gift for a teenage friend that I have in mind.  This photo of Electra with jellies from the NYFW collection is from Zoya.com.  I think it really changes things up, it adds a lot of depth and will be fun to work out our own favorite combinations.

I ordered by the 9th so I should be getting it before christmas and when I emailed them they said I should get it by christmas, but I'm still worried (it's a present for my mom). Anyone have any advice?

It seems like theres a batch of people who ordered way before that date and GB happen to forget to ship out. My tracking just started working today and arrival date is 1/2-1/4. There's really not much you can do. Even if you email them, they will say you will get it before Xmas and if you don't then email them. At that point, you will still get it late.

My tracking just started working today also. Both my boxes, regular subscription and gift box are estimated to arrive 1/2-1/4. I ordered my gift box on 12/3.

So this was my Jewelmint piece and the chain is pretty 'heavy', about 1/2 inch wide. So I don't know what to do with this and it's pretty upsetting.. The Wella sample was a freaking foil sample. Even though I paid $13 (40% off blackfriday sale) I still feel ripped off with this useless junk. I talked to Jewelmint and they said that they have not seen this before. So it's probably some reject that they could not even put on the website. Yea, kudos glossybox.

 

[Dalisay]

This is what I got:

It's huge one me and it's really not my style. Then again... if it actually fitted, I probably wouldn't have mind it as much.

It kind of looks like the wallet chains guys wore when I was in high school.

It looks like the Chained To You Belt. Here is the description they have: Manufacturer's description: Introduce some seventies flair with this curb chain creation. Inspired by vintage ID bracelets, this hip slung accessory measures 39.5†long, and features a 1.25†oversized ID plaque and a 0.5†gold-plated lock charm. We love it paired with a solid maxi, shirtdress, or your favorite jeans. Wrap yourself in this mixed metal stunner and flaunt style born identity.

I got my box today and I'm really pleased with it.

I got the zoya in Electra and have already put it on. I wear shellac but I put it over a gray CND color and put the shellac Top Coat over it. It's so sparkly it's almost hypnotizing!

The body oil is intriguing me! I adore the smell and I've never used an oil in the shower. I think I'll really enjoy it.
I got the mark lipstick and the color is perfect for me, and probably most people. It's a good shade. Not too bright and not too light. I got the white tea bath and shower salts. . The perfume smells good. I probably wouldn't repurchase that because I have a scent I love. My jewelmint piece is the wishing box necklace.  I'm giving it to my BFF's little girl because I think she'll LOVE it.

I really liked the variety of this months box. I think it was a good mix or beauty products. The fact that I paid less than $10 for it is mindblowing especially when you compare it to a BB. 
 

I'm very excited to see the Man Repeller's January box!!! (worst name ever)

Well that's interesting!

 

[Ashitude]

I would have saved mine for trade if it did not make me so violently ill. Just the smell from the residue on the bottle did it. I had the worst migraine and nausea I have ever had. Not worth the chance of hanging on to it. Hopefully someone else doesn't want theirs and can pass it your way.
