I am not impressed with what I have seen /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Also, the facebook picture of what to expect in this box was a beach scene with a tanned girl. What on earth has that got to do with this months samples. Definitely does not seem summer or beach themed to me. I was wanting nail polish as this is my first box and they had them in the ither oneos.

Not cool.

I was contemplating cancelling, but thought I had a few more days to decide.  Your post made me immediately log in and cancel.  It doesn't look like I've been charged yet.

I will watch for a few months and may sign up again, but this months box doesn't make me overly excited to be paying $21.  I will use that money for more LBBs.

A head's up about this month's contents-- There are 2 items with screw on lids. CHECK your kit as soon as you get it. Both jars had very loose lids in both of my kits.

I tend to think this will be a widespread problem. I hate to say it, bu the samples are certainly small enough to begin with this month.

WHY didn't I know this would happen? Sigh.

I'd be happy with either box, but I'd prefer the Ahava.  I've never heard of that brand of mascara......has anyone tried it and liked it?  I love Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes mascara.  I hate the price of it, but it's the only one that doesn't end up flaking off all over my face.
I do hope that GB will adjust their billing date so that we're not getting charged for the next one before the current one arrives......as others have mentioned. 

I tried the

mascara
. I've been using Tarte's Light Camera Lashes also because it was the only one that didn't flake on me. I've been wearing the

beautyADDICTS SHOWOFF mascara for about 8 hours now, and there hasn't been any flaking. I actually loved the wand too. It's like a half moon shape and it definitely helps when applying mascara to my inner and outer corner lashes. This came at such a convenient time because I was running out of my Tarte mascara. I think I'll stick with SHOWOFF though. I loved everything in my box, although I still haven't decided if I like the perfume or not. It's an interesting scent.

Yes, this months samples seem much smaller than the past boxes. Why did I pick this month to waste my m eney, sigh......

The theme for this month was

Summer Simplicity. The card says

As the weather heats up and you head to the beach, it's time to get back to basics and let your natural skin glow. This month's Glossybox allows you to do so : treat yourself to lush products that will revitalize your face, enrich your locks, and add a luxurious aroma of summer notes. With your natural beauty restored, all you'll need to worry about is which bikini to wear.

Enjoy your summer,
Your Glossybox Team
I'm really quite happy with this month's box. Granted, I did get the

mascara that was worth 20.
But the samples that I received are good sizes.

The mascara is of course full size at .39 oz.
The Shea Terra body butter (mine was Bourbon Vanilla it smells really good) was 1 oz.
Wella Professionals Moisturizing Hair treatment was 25 ml which is .84 oz
Kinerase Restructure Firming Cream is 24 ml (mine is filled about 3/4th the way)
First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream is a 2 oz tube.
The perfume sample is even a prety good size considering it's oil so you don't have to use as much.

The samples look like good sizes to me. I'm excited to get my box! Literally, I can't wait to get the actual box. I'm going to store my hand creams in it!

This is the youtube video I watched of the girl opening her glossybox

Here's a picture of ...

one of the vBeaute products you get... yikes



She said that's what it's like after she squeezed all of the air out of the tube.  It's looking almost as empty as the Dr. Jart tubes from Birchbox...  I'm not too thrilled about this especially since Glossybox is suppose to give travel sized stuff.
Otherwise like some other people I'm not too excited for this box from what I've seen.  Hopefully I'll like it more when I get it.

Well i got my shipping notice for Julep the same day as GB and i have my Julep box yea! Something to tide me over until I get GB (headed over the site to see if they charged me for next month/cancel even though next month will probably be amazing!)

It's true there's not a ton of product in them, but there is enough for 2-3 uses of each. 

 

[Kittygirl4]

I remember mine arriving earlier than predicted last month, so I'm hoping for the same this month. Did I really read that someone already got charged for next month? WTF?!

 

[iugirl13]

So I have no idea where my box is! The tracking won't update and the box left Fishers which is like 2 hours away from me 3 days ago. I'm really frustrated. I can't believe some people have already been charged when we haven't received this box.

 

[Stemarber]

Was really hoping to get my box today as I'm leaving to Europe for a month+ tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to wait it out. Waah. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
