Glossybox - June 2013

[SnowLeopard]

That's a pretty color, but it's definitely a fall color, not a June color.

That's a really depressing name for a polish because that's an old movie about lives being ruined by alcoholism.

I couldn't stop laughing when you said that lol. I'm surprised that they sent that color. It's very Fall color. Wonder if Sparitual gave a bulk for Fall 2013 colors or surlups to make room for something?

As for being satisfied with GB, I've been with them for the most part since the beginning (but I have unsubscribed). For the most part, I have been happy with most of my boxes when I got them. But, when I had an item that I couldn't use last month and they told me to send them a list of items they could pick from to send me as a replacement, I went over all of my old boxes...and in hindsight, I realized that only one or two were worth the $21 for me. It's interesting to look at them all together like that and think about how much money altogether you have spent on that particular stuff. And I've decided to use it as a way to measure all of my subs!

I have not been completely unhappy with GB, but I won't be resubscribing unless a really epic box comes up. The service and shipping is iffy, and that's annoying. There have been some products I've loved, like the Kryolan lipstick and blush, Ellis Faas lipstick, and the OPI liquid sand, but there have been some "blah" products, too, like multiple bar soaps, really bad nail stickers, two of the worst lip glosses I've ever tried, boring black liners with no staying power...

Of course, there are ups and downs with every sub, but you expect more from a $21 sub than a $10 one, and rightfully so!

Sounds exactly like how I would have felt. When I've viewed Youtube vids on Glossybox since I cancelled after getting their first 2 boxes, the things I wanted were: Amore Pacific, Glossybox lipstick, Glossybox blush, Ellis Faas, Bulgari tea bath, and maybe a few other high end things. But I've seen a lot of dud items too. I haven't been following them closely, however, and silly me, I thought most of those highly desirable items were sent to everyone. I guess not. And yes, for $21, it is only reasonable to expect more from them than from Isy. Since I got my tracking today, it may be time to cancel. Sad, but probably for the best. I'd rather get 2 extra Ipsys anyway.

Go to the Your Orders page and copy your order number, then go to a previous Glossybox's tracking number and take out that tracking number and put in your order number. It should tell you if it has shipped or not. Mine has already departed NJ, so sometimes the emails go out late.

*I'm not sure if it works with the newgistics website with an order number, but you could try

I tried it and all it said was "In transit" and "Your package has not yet been received".   Sigh.

there's a good chance you may still get the lipstick and fragrances. i wouldn't feel badly about it just yet until you receive your box.

Thanks. I know that. I just kind of feel dumb, you know, and I hate feeling that way. Plus, when I got the offer to buy a gift box for $15, I ordered one for my mom. If anything, she is pickier than me, and I know she would have loved the Tarte lipstick. (I know. I know. Pickier than me? Hard to imagine, lol!)

Didn't Dallas say she chose the colours herself? Perhaps she found it autobiographical. 

Actually I think it's from an Ernest Dowson poem, which could fit a summer theme. 

Quote: They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,Love and desire and hate:I think they have no portion in us afterWe pass the gate.They are not long, the days of wine and roses:Out of a misty dreamOur path emerges for a while, then closesWithin a dream.

This is Days of Wine and Roses (I thought it was two polishes so it's a long name of one color) Is that what you got, birchhughes?

Wow is that gorgeous! A bit dark for me, so I wouldn't wear it often, but there's something about this I find drawing me in. Hoping I get it. Anything but orange or yellow please!

There is only one polish, it just has a long name that is misleading lol. I got the Tarte in fair to med. it is like a very nude brown with a hot pink center. I am not sure if I want to try it or trade it. There were 6 perfumes. The bag has little charms on the drawstrings, nice touch. I also got a Model Co eyeshadow because of a promo code I used.

Birchhughes--Thanks for mentioning you got the Model Co eyeshadow. I used the same code and was really worried with the mess this month they would forget to send those out. Here's hoping I get mine ok too because I am going to go ahead and cancel to avoid getting charged for July. I don't want to call them asking about a missing eyeshadow *after* I cancel, lol!

Oh, man....I hope there's varieties, too :sad:

The box looks good.  I just got an email from Glossybox saying mine will ship by the end of the week.  Fingers crossed.

That nail polish looks gorgeous! I agree that it is a fall polish, but I'm patient. I can wait a couple of months.
