Glossybox December 2012

I ended up getting the gangster wallet chain/belt thing from jewel mint. If anyone is interested in it let me know. I really wanted to try the body oil if anyone isn't feeling theirs. The bath salts smell pretty good.

Am I the only one that feels like the stuff from Jewelmint were cast offs?

Same here.  They rarely if ever seemed to feature products in our boxes, so I saw no point in reading them.  I expect to see promotional information about items they actually sent in those things.  Birchbox does a fairly decent job of only including stuff they sell in their little booklets.  Even if they don't send those things in our bags, at least we can buy them through the Birchbox shop if we really want them.  We don't have to go searching to figure out where to get Viva La Diva glitter eyeliner (in the Glossybox booklet), for example.

I think some pretty nice and fairly popular things were sent out... I got the bottle necklace and the long opera necklace with pink pearls and both seem pretty popular.

I just got my first ever GB and I am not impressed at all.  I don't feel it came even close to being worth 20-some dollars.  I'll give them another month just to see but so far the only one I really like is Ipsy.

I just signed up for Lip Factory Inc.  That one looks promising.

Did my holiday nails with the Zoya Ziv and LOVED it!!! The polish goes on like a dream - are all Zoya polishes this good? It looked great even with one coat, but I did two for the extra sparkle. 

Seriously though, I might be a Zoya convert. 

This picture really doesn't do it much justice, but I had to show something.

Zoya polishes are amazing- love their formula & nail brush! It makes manicures a breeze!!

Thanks CAPSLOCK!

I don't know...I got the hideous square bird nest looking bangle.

I'm definitely a Zoya convert now as well... I've also been using the Oscar Blandi heat protectant on my hair and it definitely increases shine, though the fragrance is quite strong. I don't like the smell of the body oil at all, though the tiny portion of skin I put it on to test it seemed to drink it right up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got the Zoya polish in Ziv, which is the color I wanted! I also got the Oscar Blandi Heat protectant spray, the Ecru hair oil, bath salts in White Tea, the Denise Richards hairspray, the pleats please, and I got two rings from Jewelmint, that I haven't seen before. They are really simple (one gold and one silver) and they fit my huge fingers!
Overall I'm really happy! I got the nail polish color that I really wanted and the only thing I might not use is the heat spra however in winter I do blow dry my hair alot and when my hair grows out I will curl it occasionaly, so this will probably get used to! I'm super excited for next month. Plus I'm going to purchase the bath salts.

Agreeing that the Zoya polishes apply so nicely. Also I wasn't excited with the oscar blandi but I've tried it twice now and I appreciate it.

 I received the same bracelet... thinking of gifting in a white elephant gift exchange.  My hair oil package was empty.. no vial, just the cardboard container.  I emailed Glossybox CS, but haven't heard anything yet.

Good luck with getting a response from CS...I've been emailing them since the first week of Dec about an issue I had with my one of my gift boxes and still no response. Their CS is beyond abysmal and is the main thing that keeps me from wanting to continue my subscription. Also what's a white elephant gift exchange?

 

[viccckyhoang]

I've never had trouble with Glossybox's customer service and I've contacted them twice so far.. I received a reply within the same day or next day.

I'm so sorry to hear that some of you girls are having trouble with contacting them! I think that their customer service is awesome; considering that they always help me out!

Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone! <3

Zoya is by far my favorite brand of polish! They are all so awesome, I have never needed more than two coats and some of their polishes are opaque in one! Loooove.
