GlossyBox - June 2012

[tilliefairy]

ugh! Got my box today. The Shea Terra is up for trade if anyone wants it. It is in White Chocolate. I am on the fence about the mascara. Has anyone tried it yet. Almost all mascara irritates my eyes and if it doesn't it just melts down my face in like ten mins after i apply it. Also, the perfume they sent me almost made me throw up. It was so strong!

Sorry to rant you guys but idk this box kinda sucked for me.

Was anybody else able to leave feedback/Glossydots for all products?  I tried to do it on one item and it was letting me but I then I backed out because I did not know if it would eventually catch up to me!

             Lol... I was actually going to ask that, myself. I filled in the surveys for everything I got in my own box, just to keep it honest. lol... Idk what might happen if we filled out the other surveys. It's kind of sloppy that they have everything up there.  

@ Glossybox.

I know it is dishonest to fill out the Glossydots on things I did not get but maybe it is their way of "making up" for all the troubles that have happened along the way!

If someone fills it out for all of them and gets the points let me know!  No judgements I just want to know if it works!

Maybe the boxes really are random and Glossybox doesn't even know what they sent us, so we all have access to all the surveys.

'If that's true then that's not smart on their part because we could all end up with extra glossydots. Maybe someone should ask on their Facebook page.

This was their reply about the question I asked on FB.

Hi Jessi, currently you're able to fill in all the surveys. You will only be able to fill in the survey for the box you received starting Friday. Sorry for any confusion. xx

There was no comments about we shouldn't do them tho

I'm new to MUT (first post ever!), but I've been lurking this group (and the BirchBox group) for months, and actually subscribed to GlossyBox for June after reading about the May box here. Unfortunately I still haven't received my box (estimated delivery 7/18), but I have a feeling I will be canceling my subscription as soon as I do. For $21 a month I expect great customer service and excellent boxes... which is why I'll probably end up getting a second BirchBox subscription instead /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'll finally quit lurking and let my chatty self out.

Totally jealous that you recieved the lotion and mascara.  Id be happy to trade my box contents w/yours.

After seeing others on MUT & YT open up these fab GBs i decided to bite the bullet and subscribe.  I was totally let down when my box came!  Im a fair complected, netural shade, wearing type of gal.... What the heck am i going to do w/black creme eyeshadow?!

I'll give GB 1 more month...

 I got the cream shadow in Never Black whick is kinda like a murky dark gray (almost black but not quite). I don't care for the color when seeing it in the tube but when I swatched it and blended it out, it stayed dark but sheered out quite a bit. I'm thinking this might make a great shade to blend in the outer corners of the eye and up into the crease. Maybe also use as an eyeliner. I haven't tried it yet but I think I will when I get home from work today.

I unfortunately got a box that had the Ahava which spilled completely out into the box. It took 2 emails to Glossybox before they got back with me saying they would replace it as soon as they could. Hmmm. I wonder how long that will be. I cancelled but will still (or at least I better) get July's box since I was charged for it.

I'm doing them all. I figure with the bad rep Glossybox has been getting this month because of CS, billing issues, and boxes with spilled products, they're not going to risk pissing off their customers even more by taking away points / punishing them in any way.

Also, even though I haven't necessarily tried all the products, I feel like because of this forum I can give an informed opinion about which brands I'd like to see more of, and which ones I wouldn't want to have come back.

^ agreed! I'm going to fill out all the surveys, why not?

 

[CaptainSassy]

It's just Glossydots. Heck yea I filled out those surveys! No judging from me if you do or don't. It reflected in my points as well.

What she said...LOL

My only q to the ladies filling out all the surveys, if you haven't sampled the products, how are you giving informed info back to them? Curious, no judgement here lol...there's been enough mishaps with this company and I'd agree, it appears they don't seem to know who received what box..

I took the Ofra Eyeshadow survey and filled it out according the general concensus here on MakeUpTalk. For example, I said I received it in "Go Black" and answered the questions with the stance that the shade would be hard to use as an eyeshadow by itself, but that it may work as a base (and so on). I felt okay taking the Ofra survey because there was a lot of discussion about that particular product, if that makes sense! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my Shea Terra order in today!!!! The Pink Guavas and Pomegranates Shea butter is as wonderful a everyone said. I LOVE it!!!! It's the perfect light scent. I still adore Mango as well. Both are fantastic and I would reorder. I'm in the process of using my Rose Hips and Black soap or whatever it's called. LOL. Can't make a full review yet but I have my fingers crossed for fantastic results! Shea Terra also included a rather large sample  of the Rose Hips and Pink Clay soap so I'm pretty excited to try that too!!!
 

Big thanks to Glossybox for introducing me to this awesome company!

That's fast! When did you put in an order? I think I want to buy a few of the mini butters and maybe a bar of the black soap, but I'm trying to resist lol...I have sooo many products to use up. I did manage to snag another butter to try in a swap, but got the Bourbon Vanilla and absolutely love it!

 

[princess2010]

I placed the order on 7/7 so that's 4 days to come in. Not bad!

Wow, that was super fast! I'm going to hold off. I do have a sample of the Shea Terra liquid soap to crack open; should try it and see before I go crazy and order something lol.
