This was a Dallas Shaw and Glossybox failure.  You don't sign a contract and then later on decide you don't like it anymore.  

I'm over Glossybox. 2 months in and it's already too much drama for me, lol.

I don't think we even know that for sure. I mean, if they forgot to agree on what the court would look at as a material term, they could find there never was a valid contract in the first place. Who knows? But yeah. Enough is enough. I just think they need to get the boxes ready and send them out. By the way, other than getting the first 2 boxes a year ago, this was my first month with GB in a long, long time. They are not making a good impression! And to see everyone basically suggest something happens to delay the boxes every single month. Not good at all...

Yes please! I have an aunt who likes to buy me orange polish every year for christmas and it just does not look good on me, sadly.

I don't really care about the drama, I have enough drama in my own life.  Just make a decent box, dammit.  

The box looks okayyy.  Lovin the Tarte, but that's all that's got my interest.  And I HATE it when subs only provide one shampoo or conditioner.  I want the whole experience!  Even if that means it comes in two foil packets, at least I would get the full effect.  It's really hard to tell if something works on your hair when you only have one, so you have to use it with one of your regular brands.

I was really hoping for a sample option from Philip B that included Chocolate Milk...it doesn't look like that's going to be the case, though ;(

I know, right?! I'm already in love, and if I hadn't dropped $75 in the BB store this week, I totally would've ordered it today...but, alas...I must wait /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Maybe we'll get lucky and GB will include a coupon for Philip B in our June boxes?!!

We don't know anything for sure about their deal. What if Bondi signed a contract to let her create a polish color and then decided at the last minute to do a whole collection, then decided they wanted to sell that collection without those terms in the original contract? It sounds to me like this was all done kind of informally and kind of got out of hand.

I don't think it's fair to blame anyone over hearsay. I really don't care what happened, and it's between the parties involved. As long as I get a box with a comparable item (which I love Sparitual so I feel like we are) I'm happy.

I've been told that since March both Bondi and Dallas Shaw have been discussing her compensation for the collection that would be sold from Bondi but only recently her attorney came out with an outright rejection to them being sold from Bondi at all. She actually didn't create the polishes, from what I understand, only picked them. Glossybox and Dallas Shaw were both aware of the plans that Bondi was going to sell the collection way ahead of time. Not sure why she/her attorney/both/whateverlol suddenly changed his/her/their mind(s).

I do think this box is still going to be awesome though! High hopes, high hopes! lol

 I think so, it will be an awesome box! I've never had that brand nail polish before (not Bondi). I've seen it around but never had that.. Bring it on!

Yeah, curation... rather then creation.   Not knowing the inside scoop, but seeing the persona and brand identity represented on each of their respective sites... I think the Shaw team overstepped themselves and Glossybox should have been in there to referee.

Ok, I've been playing chicken with this box and the discount codes (always holding out for something better!), but alas it doesn't look like any are active.  Tried GBGIFT, LOVE, and JUNE, and none were valid.  Anyone have any luck with anything else recently?  I'm still hoping they'll come up with something else to unload boxes this month, since due to the Bondi debacle and delay maybe they are selling less than usual.

Oh, man! I used something with "15" in it just a couple of days ago on a second box (gift box), and I think the total came out to like $12.50? I know that's not much help-sorry! I would say, try JUNE15...I was having trouble with codes, too, that seem like they were working for everyone else but not for me...Good Luck! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Assuming you were told the truth, she sure is looking worse and worse then, isn't she? It still makes zero sense to me that she would object out of the blue with no real reason for it, but no matter. I was in it for the Tarte and perfume anyway. Everything else was going to be a bonus. And I've wanted to try Spa Ritual since I've seen them in Beauty Fix, but I've never picked them. So other than the delay, the box is going to be even better for me.

I just hope I get a good color of polish so I don't have to trade. I'm kind of burnt out on trading after Ipsy, lol! I didn't realize the Tarte lipstick color could vary. That makes me a tad nervous. I never saw any indication of that like I saw with them mentioning polish colors and the Philip hair product varying. That said, I think there's only 2 colors from Tarte--warm and cool--and while I'd prefer the cool, I've heard they are really sheer, so the warm is probably wearable anyway.

So the special edition Glossybox is the Wedding Box. I just received the email. Due to be delivered by July 31st and its $40.

It was "TREAT15" for 15% off but it expired yesterday.  You can still try and see if it still works.

I kinda wish they would stop putting out these special edition boxes (seems like they are doing it monthly!) and get their stuff together to make their monthly boxes run more smoothly. As far as the Dallas Shaw box, I am a little annoyed by her blog post. She is giving people a piece of her art that can't afford it through that drawing on the top of the Glossybox?! Really?!

Yeah, I agree, it is very strange about her (her attorney) objecting. Essentially both Glossybox and Dallas Shaw knew when the collaboration between DS and Bondi began and throughout the curating that Bondi would be not only selling this collection on Bondi's website but it was also being pitched to a major department store. That proposal was actually shown to and approved by both GB and DS. Glossybox subscribers were actually going to get a discount to purchase the remaining 5 polishes that they did not receive in their box. DS and her attorney never gave any indication that there was an issue with that or with her compensation that she would receive for the collection being sold. Glossybox had no issue with Bondi selling it, as long as their logo was somewhere on it. The royalty payments for DS from Bondi had been brought up many times within the three months leading up to this event, and 3 weeks ago Bondi sent DS a finalized proposal to cement the deal, but then just last Friday DS (her attorney) contacted Bondi and said that they were not allowed to sell (both on website and in major department store) any polish that had her name or illustration on it.

Bondi has been hearing from everyone here as well as other various sources that Glossybox subscribers would like a discount for Bondi to make up for all this mess, but they feel it wouldn't be right to capitalize or profit on what is an unfortunate withdrawal and occurrence. HOWEVER, they would like everyone to know that they DO have a promo going around right now from now till JUNE 30th. Use the code FREECLEAR for a free top coat! (Only 1 per order). You can, however, let them know via their live chat on their website that you're from MUT and you've come to say Hi! lol

So we haven't yet verified if BOTH tarte shades are being sent out or just one? Correct? Has anyone heard about this yet?

Verrry interesting! In this case, it wasn't really GB's fault. Are they sloppy in general? Sure, but they can't force Shaw to do anything on top of the fact that she changed her mind about the Bondi deal last minute. Gah! I just want this box already. I wish they would give us an estimate of when they plan on shipping... I love you, but I hate you, GB!

I'm pretty excited for the box now that we see what's in it. I think the fallout over the Bondi polish is unfortunate, but I'm not going to blame anyone for that. In situations like this it's usually "your version, my version, and the truth falls somewhere in the middle."

I like your optimism, don't have a whole lot today, applying for jobs is stressful...  Could I borrow a cup of that?

I like the spoiler. It looks good to me! I wonder if there are variations?  

Oh golly-mosses I really hope so!

 

 

 

Good luck on your job hunt!
