I often have a hard time with loofa, but right now I seem to be needing something SERIOUS for my feet.  I'm hoping these will help.

Holy bananas, I just sent an email to GB regarding my surveys not being up and figured I wouldn't hear anything until at least Monday. Well I just got an email back from Nicole like 15 minutes after I pushed send! She said there's still a glitch in the survey system that they're trying to fix and I'm being credited 20 points. Wow! Super-fast response time is awesome.

Wow really? I'm still only at 600~ did you invite your friends?

I did! I have a few referrals so that definitely helps!

I'm not sure about JessP, but I'm at a little over 1100 (I'll have to remember to redeem for my free box next month because it turns out that they don't just automatically not charge you, unlike PopSugar, which is *fantastic* at not charging you when you get free boxes for referrals) -- because they never got around to loading my October surveys and took *more than two weeks* and at least six emails (not to mention two or three Twitter posts) to answer me, so they gave me extra points.

I'm at 900 and am really excited about a free box - thanks for letting us know that you have to go in and manually redeem it. Are you planning to redeem when your current sub is up or get two of the same month's box?

I despise those loofahs (I use a Japanese washing cloth instead of a washcloth.  Scrubby yet gentle, and it is long enough to get my back without any problem!), but one thing that I found that helped with freakishly dry feet:  A tub of Eucerin (I have yet to find a better cream for this purpose) and sleeping socks.  Every night, slather with the Eucerin, put the socks on, and repeat.

I'm on monthly, so my sub doesn't exactly run out, but I'm going back and forth between canceling Glossybox after January (I missed redeeming for December, and their CS is so nightmarish I'm not bothering contacting them about this) or after their one-year anniversary just in case they do something cool for those of us who have been dealing with their growing pains.  Their product selections have really started to just *baffle* me, the surveys are phenomenally annoying, and I am not impressed at the disconnect between the products featured in their magazine and the products they're actually sending out.  It's just not worth the money for me, but I am curious to see what May will bring -- and whether they improve dramatically.

I was jealous and sad when they gave these in Glossybox and I wasn't a member =( so I signed up for their mailing list.  There is $6 shipping, and tax in Missouri.  I'm not in Missouri, so four of them came to $28.40.  They also have a "Gentleman's Choice" scent, which is always nice to see as an option!

I saw these in Big Lots.

The absolute best tool I have ever found for my feet are the Bliss Diamancel foot files and buffers...they are one of the top "beauty" purchases I have ever made. They are a little pricey but worth every penny for me. I generally use it before my shower whenever my feet need it and then slather on some lotion or balm after the shower. Best ever!

Hi everyone! I'm new on makeuptalk. I've been a long-time lurker and have received so much feedback and advice from everyone on this site. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. Also, I'm wicked excited for this month's Glossybox because it'll be my first one! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Depends on how many variations they have this month... sometimes it seems like the boxes only have 5 different items, sometimes it seems like there's 6-8 and you get 5 of those from a draw. But GB doesn't have as many variations as BB in general, when they do.

 

[lizzie123]

Thank you The two boxes will be my very first Glossy Boxes im so excited!!

Wow am I glad to hear someone liked it!!!  I bought two for me and two for gifts and was afraid they'd be horrid, now that everyone's been saying they're way too rough!  =)

i actually really liked mine too!  it is too rough for me to use on my whole body, but i think it's great for my legs and feet, which is where i need the most exfoliation. if it weren't a $30 minimum i would definitely make use of that code!

This will be my first month with GB and I'm pretty stoked about seeing what's inside. At $21 a month though it might be my only box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I sort of became a box addict late last month and this is the priciest one I've signed up for. Has everyone here been pretty pleased with what they've received in previous boxes? Should I hit that cancel button now before next month?

 

[JNiccolai]

i've bought 3 since we got them, thanks for this better get more!!

I loved it, but most of all my DH loved it so I bought him two for his stocking.

November was my first box, and honestly I wasn't that excited for $21. I read lots of people say it wasn't a great box... So I am giving them one last shot for December. I may have just joined on an off month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
