I've heard from Koreans that Missha is essentially considered about drugstore level, too. Their "drugstore" level seems to be better than the US, but I wouldn't put Missha as a high-end brand, definitely not.
Just because it's considered a pharmacy brand overseas, doesn't mean much. So long as the products are good and interesting. US drugstore brands cost an arm and a leg, depending on where you are in the world.
 
I'm skipping this month too. I'm not excited about any of the products, and the value of it is not there for me this month.

I'm estimating the box (from this one spoiler) to be worth around $35

LiSi gloss and eyeliner are $7 each

The Bvlgari soaps can be found as a set of 6 for around $18, so one is worth about $3

Snail mask is $6

Nail Rock is worth around $9

and the Evologie sample is worth $3 (just the cost of shipping from their website)

I know. In fact, I'd say most of what is considered drugstore level in Korea is way better than what's available in the US (there's so much competition there, I think the companies really work to attract customers. You get freebies and samples just for walking into their stores, and almost every store gives you tons of gifts and samples with purchase). I love korean cosmetics. just responding to the poster who was talking about what she considered high end. 

 
are they getting ready to ship boxes out? i just got an email about my box being charged for this month. my first box was last month which was on a non normal schedule from what i heard, haha.

According to GB's website, the February box will be shipping between the 19th and 23rd.

 
Okay ladies, I'm trying to see if my GlossyDots redemption will work by "pretending" like I'm going to sign up for a monthly sub. I'm on the page, logged into my account, but it doesn't say anything about redeeming dots. Can someone shed some light on where it's supposed to be on the checkout page? Or take a screen shot if it works for you? I feel like this is an ongoing battle lol.

Lol...so we will have the Feb box in March!

 
Growing up I used to see LOTS of infomercials on tv about snail slime products, they are supposed to regenerate skin.I saw all that over 10years ago maybe even more lol XD before it became so popular in Korea. I want to try it, because I've always been intrigued by it. 

 
Lol pretty much! I think we'd receive them much sooner if Newgistics was a bit faster. This is probably why I subscribe to other boxes so that I'm not waiting on one for the entire month.. At least that's how I'll justify it

The only thing I've found is there's a box next to your glossydot total that says "apply to free box" then it will show in your dots history as "1000 points reserved for free box" or something along those lines.

I'm purposely not reloading the card attached to my GB acct on the off chance that they don't apply the dots to the free box I should be getting this month until after billing lands.

I'm not sure, but I think you need to be an active subscriber. The easiest way to bypass being charged automatically (if you're not one) is probably just to call GB and have them manually redeem your dots.

When I redeemed my box for Feb.. I just clicked on the redeem button. It beachballed for a moment, but if successful, your history will reflect that 1000 was deducted for the free box.

 
Thanks for the tips! So frustrating because I am an active subscriber (but with a 3-month sub), so I was trying to see if it would work by signing up for a monthly sub as that has worked for a lot of us. But alas, the "redeem" button is still nowhere to be found lol. I'll probably have to end up calling.

 
As opposed to the product as I am, I find it hilariously appropriate for Glossybox to include a snail slime in their next box - perhaps they gathered it all from the trails of the January boxes?

I could only find it in the options to "re-activate" a past sub if you go to the page to manage subscriptions. Couldn't find it by signing up for a new sub.

 
Out of curiosity...has anyone been billed for this month yet? I just checked my profile (I have monthly billing) and I only see January's order...I figured by now they'd bill for February

 
I was given a product to test out for a survey and wasnt given the ingredients to it. Because of this glossybox I am now terrified that there is snail ooze in it! I think now because I know snail ooze is put in skin care products I am developing an irrational fear that it is in every product. (Only partially kidding!)

It might be slightly different with 3 month subs. I remember when I did the R27 with another active 3 month sub, they weren't willing to extend my subscriptions so I ended up with doubles for 2months. I hope they will either extend the sub for you or manually allow you to redeem your free box. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Ladies, I'm not excited about the contents of this box. I'm debating if I should cancel for this month or not.

My question is this---will I lose all my hard-earned points if I cancel? I do plan on resubscribing (for the boxes I'll like). I have about 700 points and would hate for it to go to waste.
