GlossyBox - June 2012

[diamo]

I'm still waiting.   My box has been in NJ since the 29th, and I'm in Florida.  This is my first box and I am wishing I had never subscribed after reading all the horrid reviews about it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got one of my boxes; it was in perfect condition. Still no refund on the incorrect charge, but Nicole did try to call today. I wasn't home.

I'm not a big fan of body butters but I tried it right after opening my box and I love it! The smell of the Bourbon Vanilla is amazing - it's been several hours and I'm still getting whiffs of it from my hands. It isn't greasy like others I've tried and the texture is really nice. It's almost like it's whipped. This is the first time I've tried Shea Terra but I might have to try more!

OFF Topic from Glossybox...

If you want to know if there's any correlation, please fill out this form and get any other GlossyBox subscribers you know to fill it out (the more data, the better the analysis):

You don't have to provide any personally identifying information in the survey I just linked, it asks only what your Beauty Profile answers were and what box you got. There is also an option to say that you did not get to fill out the Beauty Profile. If for some other reason you feel uncomfortable sharing your answers on that form, feel free to PM me and I will add them manually when I do the analysis. 

Could you program a form for Birchbox? That would be amazing because I'd love to see how well Birchbox's beauty profile works with matching people's preferences.

I definitely could, actually. However, it would take a lot more effort and probably help from someone who has a list of everything provided in every box and a way that people could reference which boxes they had so I wouldn't have to list all the items on the form. I think Zadidoll has a similar list each month, but I'm not sure? I swore I remembered seeing a chart on her blog once but I could never find it again when I went looking. 

I'd love to do one for Birchbox because I subscribe to them too. The statistical analysis each month wouldn't be as conclusive/significant unless we got a REALLY large number of subscribers to contribute their answers for one month, though, just because there are so many more possible boxes than for GlossyBox. But if there was enough interest, I would certainly be willing to set it up and do the analysis.

Checked my tracking today. My box was delivered. I'm not home currently (and won't be for awhile - fiance is doing a MTG release, haha) and all I can think about is if my Ahava is leaky - and the longer until I get home, the longer it leaks. Let's pray it's not!

YES.  I think you should propose the idea on the Birchbox thread and I'm sure Zadidoll would pull up all of the box variations (once their released) and that way we can get people to imput reponses.  The group has about 700 people and you don't need all of the subscribers to submit an answer if I remember statistics correctly. You only need a large enough sample group to minimize skewed results and I think >100 should be okay. If not, it might be fun to do it for the August box too.

I got my box - I got the mascara box with the Kinerase, Wella, and Shea Terra. I'm happy! My Shea Terra is in cardamom menthe. It's a fantastic mint scent and it's perfect for me! I even like the A Perfume Organic perfume oil! This box was big for me as I was one of the ones with credit issues. I kind of fell in love with anything and I've decided to continue my subscription, just on a month-to-month basis.

Cool! I completed your survey. Curious as to what you find out.

Hmm, I think I would have liked the mint. I got mango, and I'm pretty undecided on it at the moment. Smells good at first, but then meh! What do you think of the mascara?

YESSS! I love it. If you need any help with this, let me know!

Wooohooo my box is finally moving!!! It was accepted by my local post office this morning but if I remember correctly that doesn't mean I'll get it today. Looks like Monday will probably be my delivery day.

I filled out the survey too! Interested to see what you come up with as far as whether there's a correlation. Did most people who couldn't fill out their profile before the "June" box get the mascara, shea butter combo?

Gosh it's taking forever. I received mine yesterday. All was well with my box.. except that the outer box wasn't sealed.

my box sat in MD for like 6 days =/

 

[BFaire06]

For all those ladies wondering about their tracking and why their packages are still in Maryland....check USPS tracking instead of Glossybox tracking.  When I copy and pasted my tracking number into the USPS box I got much better results. Note: I live in Orlando, FL.



and after going to the USPS website....

 

[omgitsliz]

so my box got here today after like two weeks. This is my first and my last box. Until they get their crap straightened out Im not coming back. I will most likely put the body creme up for trade because its lavender and well..it smells like medicine to me. the mascara is also really goopy. hopefully it will dry out a bit more.

 

[TinaMarina]

They survey is a great idea - already filled it out. Thanks nerdgirlmakeup!

For those that don't like the perfume oil, I have a Miss Dior perfume sample I'd be willing to trade if anyone is interested. I tried it once and didn't care for it.

UPDATE: Miss Dior has been traded!
