Hmmm just saw this post on facebook. I couldn't actually find where Zoya themselves said that, but if you got Electra and don't want it, you should try selling it XD;
Nice, lol. So today I came back for the day to pick up my 2 boxes and behold! There were 4 boxes waiting for me. I thought the Glossy Santa was especially generous until I opened 4 identical boxes! -.- 3 of them had the same ring.. which all look either really vintage (or bad tarnish) down to the 4 Electra nail polishes.

I went through some of my stuff this morning to update my tradelist and I was a little surprised at how much I actually have :)

 
This is an insanely fantastic order! My first order is supposed to arrive today (and then I have another one behind it too!) I broke it up into two orders so I could get two of the free Signature BB Creams. (Didn't want the serum I am in serum overload) I started a Missha post over in the Sales and Coupons forum btw,...they are having their HUGE winter sale now, so prices are even better then when we bought over the holidays. I will post my haul over there when it arrives! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!! How is the consistency for the glosses and lipsticks btw?
Yep, I like their BB Creams too! I really like the glosses and lipsticks that I bought...they aren't too sticky, they are moisturizing and they stay on decently.
 
I'm so confused... I've been using the oil after I showered- like a lotion. My bf read the container and said I'm suppose to use it in the shower after I bathe. What's the proper way to use- I was thinking it was like body oil- am I wrong??

It's a body oil, they suggest using it in the shower I think to avoid messes, and after you bathe because it is best absorbed while the skin is still warm and damp, your pores are open. I have been putting it in my bath water, personally, but I normally apply oils outside of the shower, and I never make messes with them.

 
I put it in my hand while in the shower and rub it all over. Last night I used it in bath water and it was awesome. I REALLY love this stuff. The smell is strong but I find once it's mixed with the water the smell mellows.
 

My skin was so soft after I use it I think I'll keep it in my regular routine.

So jealous. I enjoyed the smell and I love bath oils. Would have been perfect if it didn't give me a raging migraine.

I love oils too but this one wasalso way too strong for me, I had to trade it. Not to go on about The Body Shop again but I use their beauty oil sometimes after the shower. I have the coconut one now but will prob get sweet lemon next time as I looooove that scent of theirs. I also like philosophy body scrubs because they are nice and oily to use in the shower.

 
It is so funny how different smells do different things for people. This jasmine oil is perfect for me... Strong, but nice. I get headaches from many perfumes, including the Pleats Please and I haven't tried anything from the body shop in years as the smell of the store gave me a headache the last time I went in, ten or so years ago. I can't avoid Barh and Body Works as the smell seeps out into the mall but would if I could as the smells there also give me a headache. As for the oil... I do use it in the shower. I think that if your skin is still damp and your pores are open the oils holds the moisture in, so I've always used oils in the shower before I dry off. It seems to help my skin stay soft longer.

 
Has anyone been able to complete their December product surveys yet? Mine aren't showing up and I received my box a few weeks ago :/

 
Hey ladies! I just got my box today. I haven't seen anyone with the same box so I thought I'd post what I got!! I got....

ModelCo lipgloss/lipstick duo (fullsize)

OC8 Professional Mattifying gel (fullsize) Pleats Please The hair serum foil packet Oscar blandi heat styling spray jewelmint necklace (the one with the colored beads around the chain, it's really super pretty!)
 
 
Just wondering if anyone has received these products and what they think of them :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
wow! that's an amazing box...mine sucked downkey bawls, except for the Zoya...wait, aren't you supposed to get 5 items...you got 4, the hair serum and Pleats Please are supposed to be extras...

 
So, I've been seeing Avon salespeople leaving comments on Glossybox unboxing videos, saying that they sell Mark Cosmetics and leaving their info.

I would have preferred to have received a lipstick in my box, but I'm not really sure what to make of seeing random Avon ladies making the rounds to solicit business in youtube comment sections...
huh.gif


What do you guys think?  Seems kind of unorthodox to me, but then again, if someone wants Mark makeup, they're probably gonna need an Avon lady, sooo, I dunno what to think...given the nature of that business.

I doubt the December box surveys will show up until mid-January. They seem to be a month late with those.

Was this your first box? The OC8 and ModelCo lipgloss were sent out in previous boxes so if you haven't received those yet or are new then that's probably why you got them. I love the OC8 gel!

Thanks! Only on my second box so I haven't yet gotten accustomed to the timing on everything. 

 
So,I emailed glossybox on 12/27 at 2:18pm about my missing Zoya. I received a reply stating they were behind with emails but would get back with me soon. I received a reply today stating they were sending me a replacement Zoya. Hopefully anyone waiting on a reply should hear back soon! I hope it gets to me soon (they are closed till Wednesday) and I'm so happy my first issue was dealt with. WHEW!!!!! (Hope I didn't jinx myself!)

 
Same thing happened to me, the only thing that was different was the jewelmint pieces other then that exact same box.

No surveys here yet! I think they usually take their time with posting those.
