I signed up for Glossybox a couple days ago. I started reading all the Dallas Shaw drama here on MUT which got me thinking. I've canceled Sample Society and have been skipping Beauty Army and Julep every month so it was time to add something new, and Glossybox is a sub I haven't tried. The customer service stuff makes me kind of nervous, but I figured I will give them a chance.

My box hasn't shipped yet, but I am excited to get it. I have been wanting to try the Tarte lipstick, and I actually really like that polish color everyone has gotten so far. Though I do agree that I probably won't get much use out of it until the Fall/Winter when I tend to wear darker nail colors. I would not object to some variations.

I used the code for the Model Co lip/cheek tint because that was the only active one I could find. I'm wondering are the codes only for new subscribers? Or can you use a code each month to get extra stuff? Do they usually have codes every month or only for special boxes like this one?

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.

Dallas Shaw chose the Bondi New York nail polish colors that are no longer going to be in our boxes thanks to her lawyer. I don't think she had anything to do with choosing the Spa Ritual nail polish that was subbed in at the 11th hour.

I think it is my ipad and the browser settings. Sorry guys. I even just installed the latest update... 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!

No problem! Just so you know, I emailed GB and cancelled a few days ago before boxes shipped. You should be fine if you cancel now. I didn't want to forget and get charged for July.

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?

Days of Wine and Roses has been out since at least 2010. I think GB took whatever they could get and this is it. It looks like a gorgeous color but I would have preferred a more summer-y shade. Plus I'm willing to bet it's a dupe of one of the many similar shades I already own. lol

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

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?

I love that color! I'd so use it, even in the summer.

got my first box today! the second comes tomoro! I see a lot of people got that wine red, i was scared of getting it too, i actually bought that shade last year for a wedding! i actually got an opaque dark red called kiss the cook, i guess it fits. the color kinda looks like barbecue sauce lol i got the tarte lipstick in fair to light, which is nice. i just hope it looks good on me, since i have olive tone skin.

This month's box looks fantastic! I would wear that nail color anytime. Also I give HUGE props to GB for finding a last second replacement instead of just sending 4 items. All the sizes are really nice and big too! I'll use everything.

It's not shampoo it's

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

ph restorative detangling toning mist with apple cider vinegar and the c.booth is a honey almond nourishing dry oil mist which I'm really liking

 

[Musegirl]

I got my box!  I got the Philip B. Peppermint and Avocado Shampoo and the SpaRitual Nail polish in Homebody, a dusty rose shade with shimmer.  I absolutely love the Tarte lipstick!  I got medium-tan,which I am definitely not, but it still looks great!

 

[dbella]

Ah, so there is some variance in the products (at least the Philip B and the nail polish).

Wow! That sounds great. I so hope I get this exact box, right down to the polish color.

 

[BlackMagicRose]

I love dark red nail polishes! I used the code for the free Model Co. We'll see if I get it. The boxes you guys got look great! 

 

[Jflopez]

Here is my color variation

Sorry for the sloppy nail job.. I didn't get to clean it up before I took the pic. It's Spice of Life

Yeah, the sizes are awesome! I also think it's great that they are still shipping in June, even if some boxes won't come until July.
