I did. It looks cute but the bottom 2 draws are a pain to open. I now store nail things that I don't use often in them.



That's so cute!

Here is a link to what is apparently a full on spoiler.  Proceed at your own risk if you want to be surprised:

Darn! That has the same spoilers I've known since June. lol

I was really hoping for more info about 

what the Philip B, C. Booth, and the "possibly more" could be.

The silhouette in the picture looks like it could be this:

Harder to guess the haircare item, maybe something on these pages:

I hope it's hair masque!

I love the cup you are using to hold your brushes in

Yeah...they constantly change what they have in the box? Not really sure why. They did this with the Mother's Day box too...they did release spoilers that the nail polish would be the brand  (thats in the spoilers above) because it was one that Dallas was working on....but who knows really...

Same here! I'd really like to know what they are.

I've been meaning too, but I'm to lazy.

I have, it's fun to put together, but you have to be more mindful than I thought during construction. When you make it be sure to put a thin but sturdy piece of paper, cardboard or even plastic between the drawers so they don't fall into each other. Also, to avoid the drawers getting stuck you can cut the back of the drawer off a bit so it slides in and out with ease. I cut off the thin pink line in the back and put some masking tape to seal it. It doesn't look glamorous from the back but no one but you knows it's there /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So I guess bondi has decided to pull their polishes from the June Glossybox. Hopefully this link works, if not, it's posted on their page. http://www.bondinewyork.com/blogs/inspiration/8107477-a-statement-from-our-founder-concerning-the-june-glossy-box-dallas-shaw-collaboration

Wow, wonder what happened?!

 

[lovepink]

What?  That sucks!  I wonder if they are going to come up with a replacement item, if this is going to delay shipping and will we get a repeat item?  Grrr Glossybox.  I am so mad at myself for getting suckered in again.

Here is a link to Facebook where the Founder/CEO is explaining to someone what happened. https://m.facebook.com/#!/story.php?story_fbid=10201250419653502&id=1562007378&__user=688380869

I was just thinking the same thing. I have a feeling this will now delay the boxes from being shipped unless they have a backup plan.

I think I am going to try and call on Monday and cancel.  I would rather have my $21 back than receive the box at this point.  I think this could end bad for Glossybox.

At least this month we have a good reason for a delayed box. Be positive! Maybe the new item will be better.

I read the press release, the facebook stuff, and the one lady's blog post.  I find it interesting that while the CEO of Bondi said that it was Dallas Shaw's attorney that caused the problem, however the blog post blamed Glossybox.

I have to say that although Glossybox definitely has its issues, I'm leaning towards believing that it all goes back to Dallas Shaw.  If they just couldn't get the polish into Glossybox this month for whatever reason, I don't think they would have to "repurpose" the polish in order to sell it on their website.  However, if the problem is Ms. Shaw, then of course they would have to remove the labels featuring her artwork and pull out of her curated box.

I honestly don't have any clue who Dallas Shaw is, I'm sticking around this month because the box looks better than last month, but I think all of this just firmed up my decision to cancel my Glossybox subscription for the time being.  Time to check out something new, maybe I'll give starlooks a try.

Good point. I'm going to keep my box for this month too and wait to see what happens. I'm still eager to see what else is is in it.

I'm also interested in why the CEO said it was a problem on the part of Dallas Shaw and the"news"post said it was GLOSSYBOX. Because he said it was a problem about not meeting a deadline and I can't see glossybox having an issue with that, they don't seem to care about boxes being late. ;P I was pretty confident about my reading ability, but that post confused me so I'm glad someone else mentioned it too, it was weirding me out! GLOSSYBOX isn't top of my list and this is probably my last sub with them for a while but I hate that kind of sensationalist news writing (and seems to be downright false, if it is Dallas Shaw's problem). Also love how the CEO apparently loved the piece despite it... Not even being what he said.

 

[yousoldtheworld]

I'm kind of glad that I didn't end up signing back up for this box...I'm sure whatever they do now will be fine, but I sense some delays and frustration coming, and it's not worth it for me!

I did notice that the CEO loved the blog post even though it contradicted what he had said earlier.  Maybe he is just upset about the whole thing and wants to be mad at all parties involved, I really don't know.

I'm torn right now between wanting to know what happened and thinking that the CEO shouldn't be discussing details of what happened on facebook.  I thought the press release was perfect, facebook posts, not so much.
