GlossyBox - June 2012

[tameloy]

I finally got my box today! I got the mascara and the body butter in mango. It smells AMAZING. I think it may even have a little bit of vanilla undertone. It kinda smells like mangos and cream to me. I love my box.

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.

YES...I used my mascara this morning for the first time, very wet, thin consistency, and bunched my eyelashes together, so not all that impressive. My favorite thing in the entire shipment is the Shea Terra.

I got my box last week and I was surprised to see that my outerbox had a big rubberband around it.. so that it didn't bust open.

My contents were all in tact no spillage or anything. I got the ahava wash, ofra and wella box. 

Only thing was the sticky part of the package was not secure. That could have been a big mess...

Still real jealous of you ladies with the Shea Terra boxes!!

We are box twins! I got mine today with the mascara and the mango SheaTerra. It smells sooooooo good! I'm loving the brush on the mascara. I haven't seen one like it before. Nothing leaked and it was all good for me. Another successful month I will definitely keep subscribing! I can't wait to try the Wella because it smells heavenly.

Glad you finally got it! Ack I was worried! I got the lavender sheaterra and its intense but is hydrating. Mascara-- I loveeee the brush but have found it to be really goopy/wet/too much on the brush. Still am using it because of the brush. Favorite was the wella /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Whenever a mascara is wetter than I would like, I leave the cap a little less snug and wait a couple of weeks. That usually does the trick!

After an epic post office odyssey, I finally got my box!!!  I'm so excited it's here, now I have to go play!

 

[Brienicole]

arghhh Im so frustrated

  I typed in the tracking number again and it still says that there is no information. Can you cancel online or do I have to call? This is too much for me to dealing with.

You can call and have them cancel or you can cancel through your profile online!

You know, I am very disappointed with people getting those little Shea Terras. I know a lot of people like Shea Terra, but it's not exactly Burberry and it's not like we aren't getting through about 49 other services. The 4oz is only worth $14.

I think that has more to do with Shea Terra than with Glossybox. From other boxes I have seen, Shea Terra always provides tiny samples of their products, so the 1 oz cream is actually a 'big' sample for them. Although I DO wish they would have provided a full size cream for the glossyboxes. Especially since this product only went out in half of the boxes.

OFF Topic from Glossybox...

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.

I'm in love with my little Shea Terra! I've never gotten it through any other service. I must say I'm majorly impressed and might purchase a full size. It feels so good on the skin. I don't think the Shea Terra was the big ticket item. The $20 mascara was the most valuable in my box I'm sure. Oh and big props to Shea Terra for sealing it on the inside so it didn't leak. Ahava should do that in the future.

I love my Shea Terra too! Definitely will be looking into full-size products.

Yes! I had to peel off a paper seal that was under the lid sort of like a ketchup bottle or something would have. Eeewwww on the thumb print!

I got the Shea Terra, but I got it in Mango, so I traded it away (I can't wear mango or passion fruit fragrances, sadly)... Now after all your rave reviews, however, I think I might want to go purchase some from Shea Terra! Which scent to get? Bourbon Vanilla sounds tempting, but I also like the idea of the Cape Chamomile... Did anyone get this fragrance? (Shea Terra does offer the 1 oz. sample size like we got in our boxes, by the way... but they are $6/ea. Wish they sold a sampler pack for a bit less.)

Mine was sealed, too, but there was an indentation about the shape of a large thumb in mine, too. I think that's just the way the creme was poured into the bottle, to be honest.

I got the mango so I'm no help with smells, but I think a sampler pack would be awesome! Shea Terra hear that!!!
